Disclosed herein is a system 100 for constructing an insulated thermal mass concrete structure comprising four or more walls 100a, 100b, 100c, 100d. The system 100 comprises interconnected frame members 30, 30, 30, 30, 30*, cross-ties 40 and corner members 33, 33, which reduces the need for props or stays to support the walls 100a, 100b, 100c, 100d during curing of a concrete core poured between inner and outer layers, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25 attached to the frame members 30, 30, 30, 30, 30*.

A concrete form panel system and method includes a screen grid insulated concrete form panel for use in a wall system. The screen grid insulated concrete form panel includes a filled concrete thermal mass of the wall system located on an interior face of the wall system with expanded polystyrene insulation on an exterior side of the wall system, which results an enhanced thermal stability and isolation of an interior climate of a structure constructed utilizing the wall system.

The disclosure is directed to thermal and moisture insulated interlocking brick comprising natural, in-situ carved stone faade coupled to a backing layer comprised of a massive and lightweight portions, as well as methods of forming the brick and methods for cladding and using the bricks in load bearing walls and in non-load-bearing walls (light construction).

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.

A construction method includes steps of: using a plurality of fixing devices to extend through a thermal insulation layer and an outer formwork to attach the thermal insulation layer to the outer formwork, wherein, each of the fixing devices projects out of the thermal insulation layer and the outer formwork; respectively disposing an inner formwork and the outer formwork to which the thermal insulation layer is attached at two sides of a support frame layer, wherein, the thermal insulation layer faces the support frame layer; pouring a to-be-cured material into the support frame layer; removing the inner formwork and the outer formwork from the support frame layer; respectively disposing a plurality of external brackets on portions of the rod portions of the fixing devices that project out of the thermal insulation layer; and installing a plurality of outer cover plates on the external brackets.

Disclosed herein is a permanent rammed earth formwork-faade, including two parallel side panels, a plurality of galleys and/or rebars fastened transversally between the two side panels interconnecting the two side panels to each other, and a plurality of -shaped fasteners fastening the plurality of galleys between the two side panels and receiving rebars connecting side by side adjacent side panels of two or more of the permanent rammed earth formwork-facades in large formwork-facades. Each side panel includes a double-layered rammed earth wall reinforced by a mesh network there inside, a barbed wire woven into the mesh network, a plurality of rebars fastened to the mesh network, and a plurality of L-shaped anchor bolts fastened to the mesh network, a respective -shaped fastener, and a respective rebar. Each side panel further includes a water-proof thermal insulator layer coated on an interior surface of the double-layered rammed earth wall.
