Over the past 10 years the development community have increasingly utilized poured-in-place concrete wall assemblies in combination with rainscreen windows to provide acceptable long-term envelope performance. There is very little published research regarding the performance of this type of wall assembly. This study therefore analyzes and documents potential performance issues, and models and analyzes the performance characteristics of poured-in-place concrete wall assemblies. Finally, practical design and construction guidance is provided.
