IMPROVED FORMWORK PANEL
A frame (100) of a formwork panel (200) is disclosed. The frame (100) includes at least one stiffener profile (204) formed between two opposite edges (214) of the frame (100) and having a slanted profile. The at least one stiffener profile (204) includes a first edge (216-1) adjacent to a flat portion (202) of the formwork panel (200), and a second edge (216-2) distal from the first edge (216-1). A surface (218) of the at least one stiffener profile (204) is sloping outwards from the first edge (216-1) towards the second edge (216-2) to form the slanted profile.
COMPENSATION WALER ASSEMBLY
A compensation waler assembly (400) for connecting and aligning a pair of formwork panels (200) with each other is disclosed. The compensation waler assembly (400) includes a first bar (702-1), a second bar (702-2) disposed above the first bar (702-1), and a pair of hook sub-assemblies (704) disposed between the first bar (702-1) and the second bar (702-2). Each hook sub-assembly (704) is adapted to be engaged with one of the pair of formwork panels (200). Each hook sub-assembly (704) includes a hook-shaped portion (902) formed at one end of the hook sub-assembly (704) and adapted to be removably engaged with a slot formed in the respective formwork panel (200). The hook sub-assembly (704) further includes a distal portion (904) formed at the opposite end of the hook sub-assembly (704) and comprising a slot (706), and a locking component (708) adapted to be accommodated in the slot (706) to secure the hook sub-assembly (704) on the respective formwork panel (200).
Methods for forming noise absorbing barrier walls and related forms
A barrier wall is formed by rotating a mold to a horizontal orientation so that a rear wall of the mold is horizontally disposed and an encircling sidewall upstands from the rear wall, the floor and encircling sidewall at least partially bounding a compartment, an upper end of the encircling sidewall at least partially bounding a first access opening to the compartment. A first material is disposed into the compartment through the first access opening, at least a portion of the material being curable. A cover is placed over the first access opening to enclose the compartment. The mold is then rotated from the horizontal orientation to a vertical orientation. A portion of the sidewall is then moved to form a second access opening to the compartment. A second material is then dispensed into the compartment, at least a portion of the second material being curable.

STRUCTURAL WALL HAVING EXOGENOUS STRUCTURE WITH RETICULATED FRAME
A structural wall is provided. The structural wall comprises a load-bearing wall-beam. The load-bearing wall-beam comprises two or more pillars. The load-bearing wall-beam further comprises at least one pair of a bottom plate and a top plate fixed to the two or more pillars to define beams located horizontally above a foundation block, about halfway up the wall and proximal to tops of the two or more pillars. The load-bearing wall-beam further comprises pillar supplements fixed in a plane of diagonal stiffening elements and coupled to the pillar supplements and the pair of the bottom plate and the top plate to stiffen the load-bearing wall-beam. Herein, the load-bearing wall-beam has a longitudinal axis thereof being free of continuous structural elements, to be permeable to on-site pouring and distribution of a filling mixture therein.
CONCRETE FORM ASSEMBLY
Concrete form assemblies having insulating foam panels are created using locking members embedded within the insulating foam panels and ties each having a pair of side rails for coupling two insulating foam panels together at a predetermined distance apart, the locking members and side rails being adapted so that either side rail can be coupled to either locking member and either of the ends of the rails and locking members can be toward the top or bottom of the assembly when the rails are coupled to the locking members.
Tilt-Up and Precast Construction Panels
Improved tilt-up and precast construction panels and improved methods for creating the same address deficiencies in the current tilt-up and precast construction panels. Improved tilt-up and precast construction panels use less concrete and less steel reinforcement and weigh less than current tilt-up and precast construction panels. Additionally, improved tilt-up and precast construction panels have greater insulative properties (both heat and sound) than do current tilt-up and precast construction panels. Improved tilt-up and precast construction panels require less labor on the construction site, thereby increasing efficiency and profitability of construction crews. Additional advantages of implementations of the invention will become apparent through the following description and by practice of implementations of the invention.
