Due to the way the sections have been built, It seems the "hairpin" style connections (double bar, example e.) would be the easiest.
Know that the footing reinforcement has changed a little to this:
Would a connection like this be appropriate for the inner bar.
Very interesting.

I appreciate the feedback so far. Couple questions:
1. The ICF build was only to allow me to build this without renting/buying forms with the added bonus of a nice R value for the stem wall. Is there a significant quality factor difference in going to a traditional lumber form?
2. I will...

The building is all steel (open-web welded...
