ABSTRACT:
A hanger for supporting joists or beams in insulated concrete formwork (ICF) systems has two parallel side plates having inner and outer sections, plus an L-shaped support member comprising a horizontal leg extending between the lower edges of the outer sections of the side plates, and an upward-extending vertical leg which demarcates the inner and outer side plate sections. The inner sections of the side plates are passed through slits in one insulation panel of an ICF wall-forming system, until the support member's vertical leg abuts the outer face of the insulation panel, leaving the side plate inner sections extending partially into the formwork cavity. The joist or beam to be supported may be set on the horizontal leg of the support member either before or after the concrete wall is cast. Preferably, an cut-out is made in the insulation panel behind the vertical leg of the support member to allow concrete to flow against the vertical leg and the supported joist or beam is cut for a close fit against the vertical leg, such that external horizontal loads on the wall can pass into the joist or beam by direct compression.
