A T-shaped shear wall module including a straight pattern plate, two L-shaped pattern plates with a same structure, and connectors. Each of the two L-shaped pattern plates includes a first pattern plate and a second pattern plate which are perpendicular to each other. In a direction perpendicular to the straight pattern plate, the two first pattern plates are arranged in parallel to each other and both extend in a direction away from the straight pattern plate, and a plurality of connectors are rigidly arranged between two first pattern plates. Along a direction parallel to the straight pattern plate, two second pattern plates are coplanar and extend in opposite directions, and a plurality of connectors are rigidly arranged between the straight pattern plate and the two second pattern plates. The present application also provides a shear wall and a construction method thereof.

An insulated concrete form (ICF) system includes a rectangular building block formed of two back to back half beam “C” sections defining a half beam space at each open end of the “” block and defining an intersecting column space orthogonal thereto with interlocking grooves on each corner side of the block. The system also includes a plurality of rectangular building blocks interlocked via the interlocking grooves configured to form a grid of beam space and intersecting column space orthogonal thereto, the resulting grid space configured to be filled with concrete and interstitial rebar to form a concrete wall.

A building formwork component comprising first and second spaced sidewalls having one or more webs extending there-between, each sidewall comprising a flange extending inwardly along a first edge of the sidewall such that an outer surface of the flange forms a ramp surface; and a groove extending along an opposing second edge of the sidewall. The component may be coupled to a like component by relative movement of the components towards each other, whereby the flanges are received in respective grooves of the like component, and whereby the ramp surfaces facilitate such coupling by engaging respective second edges of the like component to move the second edges and/or ramp surfaces for engagement of the flanges in the grooves.

Disclosed is a form work system (100) that comprises first (102a) and second (102b) building formwork components that are connected by a building formwork connector (104) The connector (104) comprises a moveable portion (128) that is moveable from a closed position to an open position. In the closed position, one or more sidewalls of the connector (104) define a cavity (144) for receipt of cementitious material. The cavity (144) of the connector (104) is located with respect to cavities (110) of the first (102a) and second (102b) formwork components. In the open position, access is provided to the cavity (144) of the connector (104).

An elongated building element (14) having a pair of longitudinally extending generally parallel co-extensive side walls (15) joined by transverse webs (16). The walls (15) and webs (16) enclose a longitudinally extending space (30) within which there is located a tube (31). The tube (31) is connected to the walls (15) and webs (16) by flanges (33). The tube (31) provides a space (33) with the spaces (30, 33) being intended to be filled with concrete. The building element (14) is intended to be attached to light elements (14) to form a wall.

A plastic formwork is disclosed, and comprises a slurry-receiving structure, wherein the slurry-receiving structure defines an aperture and a formwork-defined internal space, wherein a slurry is receivable within the formwork-defined internal space. The formwork further comprises a formwork-defined first connection system counterpart and a formwork-defined second connection system counterpart, each of which includes a sealed interface-effecting portion that is supported by a substrate portion. The material of the sealed interface-effecting portion is softer than the material of the substrate portion. The formwork is connectible to another formwork via interlocking engagement with effect that an obtained aperture and an obtained internal space are obtained, wherein a slurry is receivable within the obtained internal space. The interlocking engagement is with effect that sealing engagement is effected between the sealed interface-effecting portions of the formwork and the another formwork such that sealed interfaces are obtained between the formwork and the another formwork.
