Provided are a highly durable textile reinforcing panel used as a concrete form and a method for constructing a reinforced concrete structure using the same. The highly durable textile reinforcing panel is configured to resist a lateral pressure caused due to a self-load of concrete which is not cured during construction and function as a structure reinforcing material by being integrated with concrete cured after the construction, is integrated with the concrete structure via a textile shear connector formed on a highly durable concrete panel, and allows a lattice-shaped reinforcing material to remarkably increase flexural strength of the highly durable concrete panel, and thus a flexural strength of the entire concrete structure is remarkably increased when the highly durable textile reinforcing panel used as a concrete form is structurally integrated with the concrete structure.

A collapsible formwork element, the element including: a pair of opposing side wall panels; and at least one connector member extending between the side wall panels, wherein the formwork element is movable between an expanded configuration, wherein the opposing panels are spaced apart, and a collapsed configuration, wherein the opposing panels are relatively closer together.

A method and an article of manufacture are disclosed for constructing, reinforcing, and repairing various structural elements such as columns, piles and the like using formworks that are reusable. The reusable articles of manufacture employed in the disclosed methods are or, if desired, may be permanently left in place. Same or similar methods and articles of manufacture may be employed to easily construct pipes of any desired diameter in a very short time.

A ballast foundation includes a portable rolled steel enclosure formed from multiple sections and further includes internal bracing. The internal bracing is used to support an upright vertical structural member that connects to an external load (such as a frame structure for a solar array) that is supported by the ballast foundation when the enclosure is filled with concrete.
