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.

A stay-in-place concrete formwork system allows stucco to be applied directly to the formwork, avoiding the need to provide a further surface treatment of the wall prior to applying stucco. Apertures are provided on an exterior facing wall of the formwork panel to receive and embed stucco therein. The panel may also be formed with outward stucco-engaging projections. Other features include using rigid insulation to brace the stucco and keep concrete from the apertures, a sealing joint element, extendible panels for use in curved formwork, rainscreen features and an alligator connector panel for adjustable lengths of formwork faces.

A system and method for positioning and retaining an internal rebar skeleton for a concrete wall prior to pouring uses spaced apart vertical frame members having horizontal structures onto which horizontally oriented rebar can be laid and modular rebar retainers for positioning vertically oriented rebar in relation to the horizontally oriented rebar. The frame members may also include retention structures allowing for the insertion of spaced-apart rows of insulated panels to form an internal cavity into which concrete may be poured. External cladding is affixed to an external flange or sheath on the frame members with a thickness that creates a desired air gap between the external cladding and insulated panels. Frame members may also be laid horizontally across the top of a vertical layer of panels to form a base for a successive layer of vertical frame members and panels.

This disclosure refers to a formwork system which comprises: two or more insulating panels for receiving a fluid concrete structuring material between said panels; at least two sections to fit each other in a said panel; one or more connecting devices which comprise two extremities each for connection to a section to join two panels; wherein each panel has four ends including an upper end and a lower end opposite the upper end; wherein the panels comprise a cavity to fit one or more sections along the length of the upper end of each panel; wherein the panels comprise a cavity to fit sections along the length of the lower end of each panel; wherein the sections comprise a lateral flashing with a plurality of holes; wherein the connecting devices comprise a plurality of hooks, at their extremities, to enter in said holes of the section.

The present invention is a masonry veneer holding form liner, primarily in pattern shapes of mortar joints surrounding an assembly of placed masonry veneers, usually attach by screws or bolts, to the exterior face of a concrete/cementitious grid flow-through forming panel. Masonry veneers are placed into the masonry veneer holding form liner spaces. When concrete/cementitious material is poured into a vertical or horizontal oriented forming cavity the concrete/cementitious material flows through the grid openings of the grid forming panel's grid openings up to the interior face of the masonry veneer and up to the interior side of the masonry veneer holding form liner. After the concrete/cementitious material hardens the mortar joint pattern holding form liner is released from the exterior of the grid form, exposing the face of the masonry veneer and the concrete/cementitious poured material now representing the mortar joint between the masonry veneers.

A stay-in-place lining is provided for lining a structure fabricated from concrete. The lining comprises a plurality of panels connectable via complementary connector components on their longitudinal edges. Each panel comprises a first connector component on a first longitudinal edge thereof and a second (complementary) connector component on a second longitudinal edge thereof. The lining comprises at least one edge-to-edge connection between the first connector component of a first panel and the second connector component of a second panel, the edge-to-edge connection comprising a protrusion of the first panel extended into a receptacle of the second panel through a receptacle opening. The receptacle is shaped to prevent removal of the protrusion from the receptacle and the receptacle is resiliently deformed by the extension of the protrusion into the receptacle to thereby apply a restorative force to the protrusion to maintain the edge-to-edge connection.

The invention is the interior face attaching mechanisms of a plastic injection molded flow-through grid forming grid panel that is used as a form for concrete/cementitious material. A “T” or nub catch is formed by the plastic injection mold halve sections at the outer ends of interior face extended vertical grids such that during a concrete/cementitious pour the “T” or nub catch, and attached forming panel connecter tie or webs, does not unduly block the flow of the concrete/cementitious material from flowing through the grid openings. The “T” or nub catch enables forming panel tie or web connecters to slide down vertically along the interior face of the concrete/cementitious material flow-through grid forming panel and downward attach to the “T” or nub catch.

A system and method for constructing an insulated concrete form (ICF) wall are provided. Vertically-oriented pairs of ICF foam panels of an ICF structure are erected above a footing, with vertical panel supports located along opposed vertical edges of each set of adjacent vertically-oriented panel pairs. An internal brace support, extending longitudinally along the structure, is installed between the individual panels of the panel pairs. Concrete is poured between the erected vertically-oriented ICF foam panels to complete the ICF 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.
