A joist for a formwork grid construction component system is disclosed. Typical joists (sometimes referred to as secondary beams) span a distance of approximately six feet (when fully connected). By strengthening the joist using an altered profile while maintaining interoperable external dimensions, the span distance may be increased. That is, by forming the joists with the disclosed profile, joists can be made longer (e.g., have an eight foot connected span) and maintain appropriate strength or even have an increased weight tolerance. Formwork grid systems are used in construction of buildings and other structures. Interoperability with existing components is maintained by the disclosed joist profile adhering to the same external functional form factor as existing joists. The external form factor being the same allows joists constructed in accordance with this disclosure to properly function with existing formwork grid construction components.

Apparatus includes construction component. With reference to embodiments as depicted in FIG. 1 to FIG. 30, construction component includes prop-head assembly. Apparatus may be provided for vertically-extending construction column and horizontal construction beam assembly having beam-reference portion. Apparatus includes prop-head assembly configured to be fixedly connected to vertically-extending construction column, and also configured to support horizontal construction beam assembly once the prop-head assembly is fixedly connected to vertically-extending construction column. Prop-head assembly includes first beam-locating feature and second beam-locating feature. First beam-locating feature configured to selectively receive, at least in part, the beam-reference portion. Second beam-locating feature configured to selectively receive, at least in part, the beam-reference portion. Second beam-locating feature is also configured to receive beam-reference portion once the beam-reference portion is inadvertently displaced away from first beam-locating feature and from vertically-extending construction column and toward second beam-locating feature.

The disclosure is directed to a method and system for securing a shoring deck to a column. The method includes providing a first beam bracing against a column, wherein the first beam is disposed at a first longitudinal axis that is perpendicular to a long axis of the column. The method includes coupling the first beam to first and second deck beams of a plurality of deck beams of a shoring deck. The method also includes providing a second beam bracing against the column and coupling the second beam to third and fourth deck beams of the plurality of deck beams. The method further includes positioning the first and second beams with respect to the column such that respective first and second longitudinal axes through the respective first and second beams are aligned at an acute angle with respect to each other.

A filler beam assembly (100) of a formwork structure (500) is disclosed. The filler beam assembly (100) includes a beam (101) having a first end (102) and a second end (104) distal to the first end (102). The first end (102) and the second end (104) are adapted to be in contact with top plates (504) of respective drop head assemblies. The beam (10) includes a top surface (110) having a drophead interface edge (112) at the first end (102) and a drophead interface edge (114) at the second end (104). The filler beam assembly (100) includes a first lip (202) formed on one side of the beam (101) and adapted to accommodate one of a timber runner (300) and a PU insert for being nailed with a plywood positioned adjacent to the top surface (110) of the beam (101), and an additional lip (204) disposed below the first lip (202) and adapted to be accommodate a head portion (400) of a cross beam (506).

An adjustable beam may include an elongate member extending between a first end and a second end, a first connector pivotably coupled to the first end, and a second connector pivotably coupled to the second end. The first and second connectors each are configured to be releasably coupled to neighboring supporting beams and other adjustable beams.

A form bracket for supporting a wall of a concrete panel form at a casting slab includes a first planar member having a lower surface configured to engage a casting slab. A second planar member is coupled with the first planar member. The second planar member has a front surface disposed perpendicular to the lower surface of the first planar member and configured to engage a wall of a concrete panel form. In some implementations, the first and second planar members have different dimensions so as to be capable of being reoriented to accommodate different sized walls. A pair of support members extend between an upper portion of the first planar member and a rear portion of the second planar member. The pair of support members are spaced apart to define a void that is configured to matably receive a second form bracket in a stacked arrangement.

The invention relates to a formwork support (10) for supporting concrete formworks in the construction sector, comprising an upper flange (12) and a lower flange (14), which are connected to one another via a hollow profile web (16) such that they are at an invariant distance in relation to one another, wherein the hollow profile web (16) is stiffened inside by framework struts (28a, 28b).
