In summary the invention described herein is broadly directed to a module for forming a reinforced concrete structure comprising (a) a formwork member that defines a cavity, (b) a reinforcement structure in the cavity, and (c) at least one formwork brace interconnecting the formwork member and the reinforcement structure.

A method for construction using a panel and plank system that may optionally be made of Aerated Autoclaved Concrete (AAC), wherein wall panels are delivered, erected and attached to structural forms and braced with properly designed shoring/struts with form ties and specifically designed “panel ties”. Intermediate bracing is installed at midspan locations where spans are short and there is a possibility of wall buckling. Floor/roof planks are set on top of the walls being cognizant of bearing surface requirements. The deformed and post-tension reinforcing steel is set/installed and any miscellaneous detailing is completed. Thin AAC panels can be installed as form liners for added insulation where dimensions accommodate them. Structural grout or small aggregate concrete is placed, consolidated/vibrated, and finished and allowed to cure to minimum required strengths. Roof pours are given a “crown” to allow proper drainage.

A light-weight formwork having a small change in dimensions due to an environmental temperature. A foundation formwork includes a metal frame having a rectangular frame shape, and a resin faceplate attached to the metal frame and closing an opening of the metal frame. The metal frame includes a top plate having fitting notches and L-shaped bridged bodies. The resin faceplate includes protruding bodies fitted with the fitting notches and L-shaped slits into which the bridged bodies are fittingly inserted. The protruding bodies fit with the fitting notches and the bridged bodies are fittingly inserted into the slits, thereby the resin faceplate is attached to the metal frame. The attached resin faceplate closes an opening of the metal frame. The fitting notches and the bridged bodies suppress an expansion and contraction of the resin faceplate in a left and right direction.

The present invention relates to an industrialized construction process of at least part of a structure (1) to be constructed, by applying it, for example, to bridge decks, in which the filling material (8) is poured in situ on empty segments (3) prefabricated ex situ.

The construction process according to the present invention comprises the prefabrication of empty segments (3) including the assembling of steel reinforcement elements (9) and assembling fixing elements (4) whereby these comprise rigid elements (22) and at least part of the moulds (13), which occur at a location (5) ex situ, for example at the factory, construction site or at a place close to the works front line; transport and placement of the empty segments (3) in the final position in the structure (1); the operation of pouring the filling material (8); consolidation or curing of the filling material; prestressing the structure (1), if applicable; removal of the moulds (13) and fixing elements (4); followed by the start of the next cycle, if applicable.

The present invention also relates to a construction system adapted for carrying out a construction process of a structure (1) to be constructed.

An assembly for clamping formwork boards for forming an elongate slab having a lower base and an upper shaped gutter, includes first and second posts to be disposed on opposite sides of the slab to be formed. There is a formwork board clamping device for mounting to the posts, having jaws, the jaws including a first jaw mounted to the first post for retaining a first formwork board that forms a first side of the slab, and a second jaw mounted to the second post for retaining a second formwork board the forms a second side of the slab and a second side of the gutter. The second jaw has a post mount for a third board holder. The third board holder extends from the second jaw for retaining a third formwork board to be held over the slab to be formed that forms a first side of the gutter.

A steel tube supporting construction structure for beam transfer floor in high-rise building and a construction method therefor are provided. The construction structure includes an upper beam formwork, a lower beam formwork, and a stand. The lower beam formwork is provided with a first column formwork on a top wall thereof, the upper beam formwork is detachably provided with a second column formwork on the bottom wall thereof. The second column formwork is detachably provided with a bottom formwork on a lower end of the second column formwork. The second column formwork is provided with a connecting member respectively on an upper end and a lower end thereof for connecting with the upper beam formwork, the lower beam formwork and the bottom formwork. The first column formwork and the second column formwork are each detachably provided with an upright barrel formwork in the vertical direction.

A device for assisting to secure a bridge support bracket to a beam, the device comprising: a support frame, a hook to secure the support frame to the beam, a clamp to grasp and hold the bracket, and a pivot axle to pivotally connect the clamp to the support frame. When attaching at least two spaced apart such devices to the beam, then clamping a support bracket in each of the at least two spaced apart devices, both support brackets can be pivoted to a position where wood boards attached to the top of the support brackets are held in a not horizontal position. By then placing a wood stud in a position where it spans the two support brackets and attaching the wood stud to the respective bracket wood boards, a workman can then further pivot the support brackets to where the wood boards extend horizontally away from the beam.
