Self-annealing concrete forms and method of making and using same
The invention comprises a product. The product comprises a first removable concrete form having a concrete forming face and a first insulating panel insert having a first primary surface and an opposite second primary surface, wherein the second primary surface of the first insulating panel insert contacts the concrete forming face of the first removable concrete form. The product also comprises an elongate anchor member having an enlarged portion and an elongate portion, the elongate portion having a first end and an opposite second end, wherein the enlarged portion is disposed adjacent the first end and contacts the second primary surface of the first insulating panel insert and wherein the elongate portion extends through the first insulating panel insert and extends outwardly from the first primary surface of the first insulating panel insert. A method of using a removable insulated concrete form system is also disclosed.
Connector for form boards and system for cast construction
The invention relates to a method for producing cast structures, and a set of connectors for connecting a pair of opposed, spaced apart boards which are useful in said method. A kit of elements useful as support frames in the production of the cast structures is also provided.
Prefabricated module for casting a concrete wall
A concrete wall formwork module is provided in which the lateral and longitudinal opposite side edges of the modules are provided with complementary shapes that lock in place two adjacent modules when they are both deployed. The opposite side edges of adjacent modules interlock in one direction and are configured for adjoining according to a shiplap arrangement in the other direction.
ADJUSTABLE SUPPORT AND BRACING SYSTEMS
A support system comprises a post comprising a first planar member defining first openings, a second planar member orthogonally attached to the first planar member defining second openings. The support system comprising a bracket removably attachable to the post and comprising first projections for engaging the first openings, second projections for engaging the second openings, wherein when the one or more first projections are engaged to the one or more first openings and the one or more second projections are engaged to the one or more second openings, movement of the bracket is restricted in the horizontal plane. The bracket and post comprising structure for attaching braces, for support walkways and shelves and handrail structures.
CONCRETE FORMING SYSTEM
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.
SELF-ANNEALING CONCRETE, SELF-ANNEALING CONCRETE FORMS, TEMPERATURE MONITORING SYSTEM FOR SELF-ANNEALING CONCRETE FORMS AND METHOD OF MAKING AND USING SAME
The invention comprises a product. The product comprises a first removable concrete form having a concrete forming face and a first insulating panel insert having a first primary surface and an opposite second primary surface, wherein the second primary surface of the first insulating panel insert contacts the concrete forming face of the first removable concrete form. The product also comprises an elongate anchor member having an enlarged portion and an elongate portion, the elongate portion having a first end and an opposite second end, wherein the enlarged portion is disposed adjacent the first end and contacts the second primary surface of the first insulating panel insert and wherein the elongate portion extends through the first insulating panel insert and extends outwardly from the first primary surface of the first insulating panel insert. A method of using a removable insulated concrete form system is also disclosed.
FABRIC-FORMED UNSTABILIZED POURED EARTH AND METHOD THEREOF
A method of fabricating an earthen construction formation and of testing the earthen construction formation are presented. The earthen construction formation is prepared by way of a site-derived earthen material mixture. The site-derived earthen material mixture can be free of cement stabilizer additives. A geotextile fabric formwork is filled with the site-derived earthen material mixture. The geotextile fabric formwork is flexible and permeable in nature. The site-derived earthen material mixture is allowed to dry in the geotextile fabric formwork.
SUPPORT MEMBER, CONCRETE PLACING FORM, AND METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING CONCRETE STRUCTURE
Embodiments provide reusable support member capable of facilitating assembly and disassembly of a form, and a concrete placing form. A reusable support member supports outer side surfaces of concrete panels providing cavity as predetermined space for placing concrete includes horizontal rails with a length according to width of the panels, vertical rails with length according to height of the panels, and bolt and nut structures for locking the panels into inner direction of the cavity by penetrating intersections in which respectively parallel the horizontal and vertical rails are combined in lattice shape. Either of the horizontal and vertical rails relating to the intersections, include recesses capable of fitting in opposing rails by receiving a width and a part or all of a thickness of opposing rails. The rails are configured by channel steel or metal material with equivalent shape, and the rails contact the outer side surfaces at equal intervals.
EXTERIOR INSULATION-INTEGRATED INSULATING BLOCK SYSTEM FOR FACILITATING DRY FINISH, AND CONSTRUCTION METHOD USING SAME
The present invention relates to a method for replacing a conventional mold construction, and includes a plate-shaped outer insulating material, an inner plywood (or a board-shaped finishing material), a connection unit, and a lightweight temporary material. According to the present invention, a wall is constructed by connecting the inner plywood to the lightweight temporary material from a corner foundation surface and by laying bricks. Reinforcement bars are placed after an interior wall is constructed and arranged to cross each other or to alien with each other as instructed in a design specification. Then, an exterior wall is installed corresponding to the connection unit connected to the inner plywood. As a result, a wall having a thermal bridge prevention effect and a higher quality is obtained. Either dry finish or a wet finish is applicable to the wall.
INSULATED CONCRETE FORMS, INSULATING CEMENT, AND RELATED ARTICLES PRODUCED THEREFROM
Various cement-containing compositions are disclosed, including insulating cement, forms, and prefabricated building materials produced from cement-containing compositions with insulating properties. Some of the preferred embodiments include expanded polystyrene and an acrylic component to provide enhanced insulating properties, or have a lower density, lighter weight, and increased insulating R-value in comparison with other cement-containing compositions.
