The invention comprises a product. The product comprises a first removable concrete form having a concrete forming face and a first insulating panel insert having a first primary surface and an opposite second primary surface, wherein the second primary surface of the first insulating panel insert contacts the concrete forming face of the first removable concrete form. The product also comprises an elongate anchor member having an enlarged portion and an elongate portion, the elongate portion having a first end and an opposite second end, wherein the enlarged portion is disposed adjacent the first end and contacts the second primary surface of the first insulating panel insert and wherein the elongate portion extends through the first insulating panel insert and extends outwardly from the first primary surface of the first insulating panel insert. A method of using a removable insulated concrete form system is also disclosed.

A cladded wall system for constructing cladded cast-in-place concrete walls that are each integrated with lost forms comprising a self-supporting structure made of a plurality of prefabricated cladded panels (PCPs) constituting an exterior lost form, at least one architectural element constituting an interior lost form, and a plurality of concrete integratable connecting units by which each of said PCPs is connected to said interior lost form.

A tie rod suitable for use with known concrete forming systems is constructed from a non-metal fiber, such as fiberglass, that is wound about a pair of opposed thimble elements. The resultant tie rod is as strong as a metal tie rod without the drawbacks of conventional metal tie rods. Each of the thimble elements has a main body having a channel formed in an outer surface of the main body, and the fiberglass fiber is disposed within the channel when wound thereabout.

Various implementations described herein are directed to a formwork system. In one implementation, the formwork system includes aluminum extrusions and aluminum castings. The aluminum castings and the aluminum extrusions can be assembled by being pressed and riveted together.

Apparatuses and methods associated with creating a form to construct a concrete structure (e.g., a concrete building). In embodiments, an apparatus may comprise a number of forming system components, including but are not limited to a plurality of fixed or adjustable posts; a plurality of fixed or adjustable roof struts, a plurality of fixed or extensible frames; and/or a plurality of mounts. The fixed/adjustable posts, the fixed/adjustable roof struts, and the fixed/extensible frames are selectively and adjustably coupled together to create a form of selected dimensions to construct the concrete structure/building on site with reduced number of pours, e.g., a single pour. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.
