In a first aspect there is disclosed a support structure assembly (10). The support structure assembly includes a first wall panel (12) operatively associated with an opposing, spaced apart second wall panel. The first wall panel (12) including a channel (14) having two spaced apart channel walls (16) connected via a transverse channel base (18). The channel (14) encloses a resilient body (20).

A panel attachment structure including a panel assembly having a channel member including a channel therein. The panel assembly further includes at least one reinforcing member directly or indirectly coupled to the channel member, and an insert assembly including an insert portion. The insert portion is configured to be closely slidably received in the channel member in an insertion direction, and the insert assembly is configured to be coupled to an underlying support structure.

Various implementations described herein are directed to a formwork system. In one implementation, the formwork system includes aluminum extrusions and aluminum castings. The aluminum castings and the aluminum extrusions can be assembled by being pressed and riveted together.

Processes for making a tilt wall comprising a sealed abutment joint between two concrete wall panels comprising a first wall panel, a dual gasket assembly, and a second wall panel, wherein the dual gasket assembly comprises an interior gasket, a support coupling, and a weather gasket, with the support coupling attached to a first edge face of the first wall panel by the metallic channel, wherein the first and second wall panels are aligned adjacent to one another in the same plane, with the support coupling positioned between the first edge face of the first wall panel and a second edge face of the second wall panel, the second edge face of the second wall panel positioned relative to the first wall panel a desired distance proximate the first edge face to form a desired breadth of the abutment joint between the edge faces; and the interior gasket and the outer weather gasket in contact with and compressed against both the first and second edge faces to seal the abutment joint between the edge faces.

Apparatus, systems, and methods for applying plaster compositions to block substrates to yield a product having the appearance of cut stone. An example apparatus includes: a manifold; a mold connected to the manifold with a channel to receive the block substrate; a delivery hose connected to a top of the manifold to deliver plaster composition to the manifold for application to the block substrate; a pressure release hose connected to the manifold; and a vibrating mechanism connected to the mold. A system further includes a conveyor that moves block substrates through the mold. An example method includes: wetting a surface of a block substrate; moving the block substrate through an application apparatus as described, applying a layer of plaster composition to a surface of the block substrate, vibrating the mold and block substrate during application of the plaster composition, and allowing the plaster composition to harden.

The present invention relates to a novel form of concrete formwork for reinforced concrete that relates generally to building construction, and particularly to an improvement to reinforced concrete with an automated self-installing concrete formwork where the system allows all elements required for the concrete pour to be pre-fabricated in a modular way to reduce human error on site and ease speed with which concrete can be being poured onto the rebar for curing.

A prefabricated concrete form with vertical spacers between fill forming cladding with cut-outs in the spacers having horizontal rebar received therethrough and received therein. Stand-offs are provided between the vertical spacers with vertical rebar received on the stand-offs. In one version, the stand-offs are attached to the horizontal rebar. In other versions, the stand-offs are attached to the spacers. A cut-out is formed in one of the claddings to form an auxiliary fill space on the outside of the cladding, which when filled with concrete, upon hardening, forms a ledge for supporting a stair structure.

The disclosure presents a composite column formwork which utilizes a fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) stay in place container which incorporates horizontally coplanar support chairs bonded to the interior surface, closed ties bonded to the support chairs and a plurality of longitudinal rebar enforcements bonded to the closed ties. All of the components in a preferred embodiment are formed of a fiberglass material.
