Apparatus, systems and methods for holding a riser of a step form in position when pouring concrete to make a stairway are provided. The apparatus is a bracket that may include a riser support for coupling with the riser. The bracket also includes a top support. A first end of the top support may be connected to the riser support for providing support to the riser support. The bracket may additionally include a back support for providing support to the riser support. The back support may be coupled to both the riser support and the top support such that an area enclosed by the riser support, the back support and the top support is a triangle. At least two of the riser support, the back support and the top support may include fastening plates for coupling with an external support.

In one embodiment, a frame and stair system for engaging a wall includes multiple pad assemblies, a distal frame assembly, a lower proximal frame assembly, an upper proximal frame assembly, multiple stair assemblies, and multiple upper panel stair adapter brackets. A lower stair assembly is coupled with a left stair pad assembly, a right stair pad assembly, a left distal leveling pad, and a right distal leveling pad. A middle stair assembly is coupled with the distal frame assembly and the upper proximal frame assembly. An upper stair assembly is coupled with the upper proximal frame assembly. The upper proximal frame assembly is coupled with the lower proximal frame assembly. A left upper panel stair adapter bracket and a right upper panel stair adapter bracket are coupled with the upper stair assembly and are configured to engage an upper edge of the wall.

An assembly for constructing concrete stairways and stairs that includes siderails that are configured to the attached to the walls on either side of an area where a stairway is to be constructed. A plurality of riser brackets and tread brackets are pivotally and slidably coupled to the siderails and pivotally and slidably connected to one another so as to allow for height, length and level adjustment of the individual riser brackets and tread brackets. The configuration further allows the riser brackets and trend brackets to fold up and be linearly aligned with the siderails for transportation and storage.

The disclosure provides for pool step forms and related methods for forming steps in a pool formed by wall panels. The step forms may include a wall panel insert configured for insertion between adjacent pool wall panels. The step forms may include one or more step form brace configured to couple with the wall panel insert and, thereby, the wall panels. The step forms may include riser forms that from riser portions of the stairs when the step forms and riser forms are coupled. The pool stair forms may be filled with filling material to form tread portions of the stairs. The pool stair forms may include liner support members coupled to the step form braces and/or the wall panels that facilitate the coupling of a liner to the stairs formed by the pool stair forms and filling material.

A prefabricated stair modular assembly mold comprises a base, a step standard module, an upside module of a lower platform, an underside rotating module of a lower platform, an upside module of an upper platform, an underside rotating module of an upper platform, an underside common module, and an underside adjustment modules. Prefabricated stair molds of different dimensions are formed by means of locating holes provided in the assembling modules, and are then fixed by means of sliding holes at two ends. Further disclosed is a mounting method for said assembly mold. Said assembly mold has high positioning accuracy, and small accumulated error, improving the mounting efficiency of the prefabricated staircase mold.

A concrete form bracket for holding in place concrete forms. The bracket may have horizontally extendable arms with pivotable concrete form engaging surfaces. One or more of the horizontally extending arms pivot from a central area and are independently extendable/adjustable to engage a concrete form at multiple locations.

A system for securing modular building units to each other and a method for assembling structures using said method is disclosed. The disclosed system allows for modules to be connected to each other from an external position, without a person having to enter the modules to fasten components internally. The system and method may be used to build structures using prefabricated modules, avoiding significant amounts of onsite labor and drastically reducing the time required to erect structures.

A method of producing an in-situ molded concrete object includes positioning a form on a substrate. The form can include a leg portion, a face portion, and a frangible portion. The frangible portion can connect the leg portion to the face portion. The method includes coupling the leg portion to the substrate to create a container open on at least one side. The method also includes pouring concrete into the container. The frangible portion can be fractured to separate the face portion from the leg portion.
