11391052 · 2022-07-19 ·

The described Concrete Form Brace With Multi-Depth Rebar Positioning is comprised of opposing attachment members, which secure the brace to the concrete form elements. The attachment members have a first top end, and a second bottom end. The corresponding bottom ends of the attachment members are connected by a spanning element, which spans the width of the concrete form. The attachment members and spanning element are further connected by a plurality of reinforcing struts. Rebar attachment means at multiple vertical depths within the concrete form are integrated or connected to the reinforcing struts to provide rebar securement means at multiple depths within the poured concrete. The preferred embodiment also features vertical spacing between horizontally placed rebar to accommodate “L” shaped vertical rebar placement for applications where vertical rebar is specified.

CONSTRUCTION ANCHOR APPARATUS AND SYSTEM AND METHODOLOGY OF USE

A system, method and apparatus include generating a building model of a building to be constructed at a construction site, identifying within the building model positional locations for installation of one or more anchor apparatuses within structural elements of the building model, transmitting the building model to a portable computing device at the construction site and identifying the location of the portable computing device to a given positional location. At least the generating, identifying, transmitting and identifying steps are implemented via at least one processing device comprising a processor and a memory.

IMPROVED FORMWORK FOR FOUNDATION CONSTRUCTION
20220098857 · 2022-03-31 · ·

An internally braced permanent formwork for concrete foundation construction is provided in order to achieve a quick and simple assembly. The formwork comprises a base member laid on the ground having a perimeter recess on an upper surface for receiving components of the formwork. One or more permanent outer boards forming an outer periphery of the foundation are provided and coupled to a plurality of spaced internal bracing components to prevent collapse under the pressure of wet concrete.

Adjustable concrete reinforcement hanger assembly
11293192 · 2022-04-05 ·

An adjustable concrete reinforcement assembly includes a base member having a pair of open ends and an upper axial cavity defined along the length of the base member. A pair of frame members each include a horizontal extending portion and a vertical extending portion in which the horizontal extending portions are sized to engage the upper axial cavity of the base member. A hanger member is disposed at an upper end of the vertical extending portions of each frame member; wherein the frame members are axially movable within the base member to enable a horizontal dimension of the assembly to be selectively adjusted. At least one support is further provided to receive at least one concrete reinforcement member, such as rebar. In at least one version, adjustments can be to the horizontal dimension of the frame and optionally the vertical and horizontal positioning of the hanger members relative to a concrete form.

Field-resizable slab anchor that uses cut-to-length pipe
11306482 · 2022-04-19 ·

A slab anchor that is resizable in the field to accommodate different thicknesses of slabs. The anchor may have a top assembly and a bottom assembly that are joined by pipe such as widely available PVC pipe. A contractor can simply determine the desired width of the slab (which determines the height of the anchor) and cut a PVC pipe to the length necessary to make a slab anchor of the needed height. This system allows contractors to keep on hand only a single type of slab anchor, and to customize this anchor easily at the last minute for each slab. The top assembly of the anchor may have a coil that a fastener screws into after the concrete is poured; a coil protector screw may be placed into the coil during pouring so that concrete does not fill the coil, and removed thereafter to install the fastener.
