a) providing a collapsible structural frame in a folded state, the collapsible structural frame configured to provide a structure to which building material sheets are attached to form a surface; b) converting the collapsible structural frame from the folded state to a deployed state and fastening the collapsible structural frame to a preexisting support; and c) fastening at least a sheet of building material to the surface of the collapsible structural frame. 42. The method according to claim 41, wherein step c) comprises fastening a first sheet of building material to a first frame portion of the collapsible structural frame and fastening a second sheet of building material to a second frame portion of the collapsible structural frame, whereby the first and second sheets of building material are not parallel. 43. The method according to any on of claims 41 to 42, wherein a fastener locks the collapsible structural frame into the deployed state.

A forming system includes a frame and two forming walls. The two forming walls are positioned at a distance from each other to define a first vertical wall course. One forming wall is supported by the frame such that the one forming wall can be translated toward or away from the respective other forming wall. The frame can be raised to raise the two forming walls to be positioned to pour a second vertical course on top of the first vertical course. The translation of the one forming wall allows for the pouring of the first vertical course with horizontally extending rebar that extends through the one forming wall outside of the first vertical wall course, to tie in to a subsequently poured floor slab. The translation permits the vertical raising of the one forming wall, without striking the extending rebar, to pour the second vertical course on the first vertical course. A worker's platform is provided that is supported by the frame and vertically movable by raising the frame. The worker's platform is located below the one forming wall on a side of the one forming wall opposite the respective other forming wall and is rollable or pivotal to also clear the extending rebar during raising of the frame.

The invention relates to a support (1) for supporting a structure region, comprising a central part which has a hollow profiled rectangular tube (8) and two end parts (4), wherein each of the end parts (4) is arranged so as to be telescopable out of the central part from open ends (9) of the hollow profiled rectangular tube (8) in order to change the length of the support (1). Each of the end parts (4) has a hollow profiled round tube (2, 3), and inner wall regions (21) of the hollow profiled rectangular tube (8) form guides for the hollow profiled round tubes (2, 3). The hollow profiled round tubes (2, 3) can be guided in the central part in the longitudinal direction of the hollow profiled rectangular tube (8) by means of contact region (22) lying against the guides so as to achieve the telescopability of the end parts (4).

The anchoring device for shuttering walls includes a body containing an arm with a top tab, a fastening part for at least one connector, a moving closing part mounted in the body and pressed to the closed position at rest, and a locking part. The closing part is a sliding part with an indentation on one of its lateral surfaces which is matched with the slider lock in the open position of the device, and with pass-through pockets and a bottom tab, forming, together with the arm and the upper tab of the body, a tong closure assembly. The device has a set of springs, of which one pushing spring is located inside the body directly above the slider lock and is secured from above by a pressure screw. The three compression springs are located inside the body in the pass-through pockets of the slide.

An independent self-climbing form system may be assembled at a work site to build, maintain, or repair vertical structures. The independent self-climbing form system may include a plurality of support towers. Additionally, at least two trusses may be connected to the plurality of support towers. The trusses may be spaced apart from each other. Further, one or more platforms may be formed within a perimeter delimited by the at least two trusses. The at least one or more platforms may be configured to extend or retract within the perimeter. Furthermore, screw jacks may be disposed at each connection point of the at least two trusses on the plurality of support towers. The screw jacks may be configured to vertically move the at least two trusses up and down the plurality of support towers.

An anchor for arrangement in a building element, in particular in a wall, in a ceiling or in a precast concrete part. The anchor includes an anchoring element for anchoring in a receiving opening of the building element comprising an undercut, a connecting element for connection to a supporting element, in particular to a platform for formwork, or to a support arm for a protective shield, or to a lifting element for lifting the building element. In some aspects, the anchoring element is movable between an anchoring position for anchoring in the receiving opening and a release position for removal from the building element. The anchor may additionally include a securing element which blocks the movement of the anchoring element between the anchoring position and the release position in a first position and releases the anchoring element in a second position.

An upright concrete wall panel form apparatus includes a back panel form to be secured to a base in an upright position, an adjustable support assembly to be secured to the base adjacent the back panel form, and a movable front panel form supported by the adjustable support assembly in an upright position. The movable front panel form is moveable via the adjustable support assembly between a concrete wall panel prep area position and a concrete wall panel forming position. The movable front panel form is aligned with the back panel form in the concrete wall panel forming position so as to define a gap therebetween to receive concrete for forming at least one concrete wall panel in an upright position.

A self-climbing concrete wall form hoist for forming a concrete wall section atop a previously formed wall section has a wall mounting releasably secured to the previously formed wall section, a plurality of moveable vertical masts, an extendable cylinder inside each mast, and a platform alternatively supported on the masts, which in turn are supported alternatively on the upper and lower wall mountings. The apparatus cycles between a platform raising position when the masts and platform are supported on the upper wall mounting and a lower wall mounting raising position when the masts and platform are supported on the upper wall mounting. The extendable cylinders are extended to raise the mast and platform relative to the lower wall mounting when the masts are supported on the upper wall mounting, and the extendable cylinders are retracted when raising the lower wall mounting relative to the platform when the masts and platform are supported on the upper wall mounting. The self-climbing concrete wall form hoist can descend a wall by effectively reversing the steps required to complete wall climbing.
