A free floating modular concrete footing system uniformly secures concrete forms without the need to secure vertical rods into the soil. A rigid form of a predetermined length spans atop a desired footing width to capture and secure opposing panels creating the footing form. Panels capable of supporting a concrete or similar matrix, are aligned on edge to create the desired form. The lower edge of a first panel form is in contact with the soil surface while the upper edge resides within a first channel of a modular concrete footing device.

A bridge overhang bracket assembly includes a top member having an upper surface. The top member and a diagonal member are pivotally attached proximate to respective distal and upper ends thereof. The diagonal member and a side member are pivotally attached proximate to respective lower and bottom ends thereof. A connection element is mounted to the top member and is pivotally attached to a top end of the side member. The connection element is translatable along the top member to adjust a longitudinal position of the connection element relative to the top member. The connection element does not extend above the upper surface of the top member.

The invention relates to a side protector (3) for ceiling formwork (2). The ceiling formwork (2) comprises at least one formwork element (4) having a frame (5). The side protector (3) has a railing (11). Furthermore, the side protector (3) has a pivoting frame (10). The railing (11) is connected to the pivoting frame (10). The pivoting frame (10) can be connected indirectly or directly to the frame (5) from the bottom side of the ceiling formwork (2). The pivoting frame (10) can be pivoted from an installation position into an end position about an axis of rotation (A) in such a way that the ceiling formwork (2) is laterally secured by the railing (11). Furthermore, a ceiling formwork system (100), having at least one corresponding side protector (3) and ceiling formwork (2), is specified. In addition, a method for erecting such a side protector (3) is specified.

A device for assisting to secure a bridge support bracket to a beam, the device comprising: a support frame, a hook to secure the support frame to the beam, a clamp to grasp and hold the bracket, and a pivot axle to pivotally connect the clamp to the support frame. With this device, a bridge builder can use the clamp to grasp and hold the bridge support bracket, and then pivot the clamp and support bracket relative to the beam.

A stripping corner for an inside form, such as for forming the inside corner of an elevator core in building construction for pouring concrete, is provided that includes a powered actuator that forcibly collapses the perimeter of the inside form, particularly the inside corners of the form, to allow displacement of the inside form from the formed concrete surface to strip the inside form from the concrete.

Features for formliners to form a decorative pattern in a curable material and methods of using the same are disclosed. An improved formliner is disclosed with seamlessly connecting components that reduces the need for using adhesives for interconnecting a plurality of formliners in a pattern. Further, the formliner is configured to reduce and/or substantially eliminate visible seams in order to create a more natural appearance in a finished product of the curable material.
