An arrangement for forming a thermally insulated wall is provided that includes two panels connected to one another by multiple connecting means, wherein each connecting means has two receiving openings. Each panel is provided with an insertion opening, and a fixing means is inserted into the receiving opening of the connecting means through the insertion opening. Each of the connecting means includes a holding means of a first kind configured to hold a horizontal reinforcing means that connects the connecting means to one another and a holding means of a second kind configured to hold a vertical reinforcing means that connects the connecting means to one another. Other aspects are described and claimed.

The disclosure presents a composite conduit formwork structure which includes a cylindrical outer casing adapted to bond with a cylindrical inner casing which are maintained at a fixed distance apart by a plurality of radial stanchions. The inner casing and outer casing form an interior void which is filled with concrete during manufacture. The outer casing and inner casing remain in place to protect the structure once completed. A novel method of assembly is also provided whereby radial stanchions are rotated between the outer casing and inner casing. All of the components in a preferred embodiment are formed of a fiberglass material.

The present invention is in the field of modular structures, assembled by way of fastening or attached means, whose purpose is to be used as base support structures for various applications, particularly connecting systems involving plastic or aluminum containers, recipients, bottles or vessels. Particularly, the invention comprises an omnidirectional construction system that includes connectors and terminals to be attached to containers with threaded openings or flat openings and container bases, to which various types of connectors may be attached to.

A building system and method of using the same may include forming a modular, collapsible, reusable frame and applying at least one sheathing layer on the modular, collapsible, reusable frame. The system and method may include applying at least one mesh layer on the at least one sheathing layer; applying at least one concrete layer on the at least one mesh layer; curing the at least one concrete layer; and removing the modular, collapsible, reusable frame. The system and method may form at least one continuous wall and roof portion to make up a monolithic structure defining an interior cavity.

A Permanent concrete form (construction-block) for Structural Code monolithic reinforced-concrete. Construction blocks are sand-cement steel-reinforced side-panels, with one central embedded steel nut (3/4-10) [M20>2.5] that connects a threaded steel-tie-rod (or bolt) to a second side-panel. Tie-rod can also be #5 (16 mm) welded rebar. Typical side-panel size 500×250×40 mm (20″×10″×1.5″). The central single spacer tie-rod length is sized (width of wall) to provide space for concrete, rebar, thermal-insulation, conduits, ducts, and other embedment. Construction block tested for dry-stacking, and 3 m (10 ft) high anti-blow-out vibrated concrete placement.

A structure system that enables heat, sound and moisture insulation without having a thermal bridge and has its own load-bearing elements, and a production method is disclosed. The structure system has at least one main load-bearing system, and at least one filling material that partially or completely surrounds the main load-bearing system and has an insulating feature. The production method of the structure system has the steps of placing the main loadbearing system in at least one mould in a way that there is a space between the main load-bearing system and the surfaces of the mould, wherein the filling material does not adhere to the mould and the mould limits the filling material so as to shape it, filling and drying the filling material in the space so as to partially or completely surround the main load-bearing system, and removing the mould after the drying process is completed.

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.
