A stay-in-place form comprises a plurality of elongated panels connectable to one another in edge-to-edge relationship. The plurality of panels comprises first and second panels connectable to one another in edge-adjacent relationship by a connection which comprises a contact joint. The first panel comprise a longitudinally extending first seal-retaining projection shaped to project outwardly from the outer surface of the first panel at a location spaced apart from a first outer-surface transverse edge of the first panel in a first transverse direction. The second panel comprising a longitudinally extending second seal-retaining projection shaped to project outwardly from the outer surface of the second panel at a location spaced apart from a second outer-surface transverse edge of the second panel in a second transverse direction opposite the first transverse direction. The first and second seal-retaining projections and the outer surfaces of the first and second panels defining at least a portion of a seal-receiving concavity which opens outwardly from the form when the connection is made.

The present disclosure describes modular blocks configured to give the appearance of natural or cut stone. An aesthetic coating composition may be applied to one or more surfaces of a block having a low-density, such as an insulating concrete form (ICF), to form an modular block having the appearance of cut stone. The aesthetic coating composition includes a binder component, such as a cementitious binder made from white Portland cement, or a polymer binder such as an acrylic binder, an aggregate component, such as a limestone aggregate component, and optionally an adhesive component. The aggregate component includes a fine sand portion and a coarse sand portion that effectively enable the appearance of cut stone after finishing of the aesthetic coating surface via sanding, polishing, sandblasting, acid etching, acid finishing, or exposed aggregate finishing.

A module, system and method for the utilization of wall modules molds which may be enjoined in various combinations, filled in situ with concrete, cement or similar aggregates aggregate and linked so that said when solidified, said concrete, cement or similar aggregates aggregate combines with said molds to form a continuous structural wall that may be used in the construction of dwellings and other such buildings.

A wall form assembly for receiving a flowable material that sets and hardens into a desired formation having an exposed outer surface is disclosed. The wall form assembly includes a detachable panel provided with cavity shaping discrete protrusions distributed in rows on an inner face of the detachable panel, each of the rows extending in a longitudinal direction and comprising at least two of the discrete protrusions, and a foam panel. A plurality of connectors removably attach together the detachable panel and the foam panel in opposed and parallel spaced relation along the longitudinal direction so as to create a form for receiving the flowable material. Advantageously, the detachable panel along with the cavity shaping discrete protrusions can be easily removed from the hardened formation, thus providing an exposed outer surface which is substantially smooth and free of projections having recessed cavities. A related method is also disclosed.
