A concrete form includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall positioned in parallel and spaced relation to each other and a cross tie having opposed first and second ends, where at least the first sidewall is a removable sidewall removably secured to the first end of the cross tie. The second sidewall is removably secured to the second end of the cross tie and may be a removable sidewall or a non-removable sidewall. The concrete form also includes a spacer positioned between the first sidewall and the first end of the cross tie. The spacer may be removable along with the first sidewall. Concrete forming assemblies and methods may incorporate concrete forms as described herein.

A method of construction of composite wall module system in which a first wall module and a second wall module are coupled to the first wall module by a vertical joint. The vertical joint is comprised of plurality of anchors and reinforcement bars as well as steel side plates allowing composite wall steel faceplates to be discontinuous across the vertical joint. The faceplates of the first and second modules are not made continuous across the vertical joint through continuous welding. The vertical wall joint further includes fill disposed between faceplates and side plates adjacent to anchors and reinforcement bars.

Systems and methods for making a waterproofed concrete wall assembly, such as for a basement wall. A form is constructed. At least a first side of the form is made of one or more boards having a polymer foam and a fibrous facer. At least some of the boards have perimeter edges shaped such that some adjacent boards overlap at the shaped perimeter edges. Concrete is poured into the gap between the sides of the form, and is allowed to harden. The other side of the form may be removed, while leaving the boards of the first side of the form in place adjacent the hardened concrete. Some of the concrete is infused into the fibrous facers of at least some of the boards.

A concrete form panel for a concrete formwork includes: a foam body having a concrete-facing surface and an outward-facing surface opposite the concrete-facing surface, the outward-facing surface having a plurality of slots formed therein; and a plurality of structural elements. Each structural element is accommodated in a respective slot, and has apertures formed therein for accommodating ties.

Disclosed is a form work system (100) that comprises first (102a) and second (102b) building formwork components that are connected by a building formwork connector (104). The connector (104) comprises a moveable portion (128) that is moveable from a closed position to an open position. In the closed position, one or more sidewalls of the connector (104) define a cavity (144) for receipt of cementitious material. The cavity (144) of the connector (104) is located with respect to cavities (110) of the first (102a) and second (102b) formwork components. In the open position, access is provided to the cavity (144) of the connector (104).

A concrete form includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall positioned in parallel and spaced relation to each other and a cross tie having opposed first and second ends, where at least the first sidewall is a removable sidewall removably secured to the first end of the cross tie. The second sidewall is removably secured to the second end of the cross tie and may be a removable sidewall or a non-removable sidewall. The concrete form also includes a spacer positioned between the first sidewall and the first end of the cross tie. The spacer may be removable along with the first sidewall. Concrete forming assemblies and methods may incorporate concrete forms as described herein.

A concrete form includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall positioned in parallel and spaced relation to each other, where the first sidewall has a first passage extending therethrough, with a first insert received in the first passage of the first sidewall. The form also includes a first cross tie having opposed first and second ends, where the first sidewall is removably secured to the first end of the first cross tie and the second sidewall is secured to the second end of the first cross tie. A first fastener extends through the first passage and engages the first insert and the first end of the first cross tie to removably secure the first sidewall to the first cross tie. The second sidewall may be removably or non-removably secured to the first cross tie.

A concrete form assembly that includes a shaping assembly with a number of generally planar panels, and, a retaining assembly with a number of whaler clamp assemblies and a number of whaler cleat assemblies.

The invention relates to a permanent concrete formwork for manufacturing a metal-concrete composite structure, comprising: two walls each comprising at least one metal plate, the walls being parallel, arranged opposite one another, and spaced apart from one another so as to define an inner space of the formwork; struts which connect the two walls and which attach the two walls to one another, the struts passing through the two walls and projecting from either side of the formwork; bars located on each of the walls and which project into the inner space of the formwork, wherein each metal plate is attached to the opposite metal plate by at least three struts, the first strut being located at a first end of the metal plate, the second strut being located at a second end opposite said first end, and the third strut being located in a central region located between the first end and the second end, and in that the struts comprise threaded ends, the struts being attached to the metal plate by bolting.

A wall system including a plurality of panel assemblies, each having a reduced thickness for use in connection with a portion of a building structure. The panel assembly comprises two panel members disposed in interconnecting relation, collectively defining an air gap that is generally filled with a filler material such as concrete. Removable support members are further included and disposed on an outside face of a corresponding panel member. The removable support members may comprise corrugated steel panels that may be held in place along with the panel members by retainers that interconnect the panels and/or removable support members. Wire mesh may be disposed within the air gap. One or more panel assemblies may be interconnected via a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly may comprise a U-shaped channel with one or more apertures.
