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.

A tie rod suitable for use with a concrete forming system, comprising one or more button rod elements, wherein the button rod element has an elongated main body having a first end region having a head portion, an opposed second end region having an anchor portion, and an intermediate region, wherein the second end region or the intermediate region has one or more relatively flat cut-outs formed therein. The tie rod also includes a continuous fiber wound about the anchor point and the cut-outs to form the tie rod.

A tie system can include a concrete tie, a tie sleeve, and one or more tie sleeve connectors. The tie sleeve has a channel extending therethrough between first and second ends with openings at each end to provide access to the channel. The channel and openings are configured to have the concrete tie disposed partially within the channel with ends of the tie extending out of the openings. The tie sleeve connector has a generally T-shape formed by a first portion and a second portion. The first portion can be selectively inserted into and secured within the channel. The second portion extends from the first portion and is configured to be connected to another component such as an insulation panel.

A tie for a concrete formwork comprises: a tie anchor configured to be embedded in a block of insulating material, the tie anchor having a first connecting feature accessible from a concrete-facing surface of the block; and a tie member having a second connecting feature configured to connect to the first connecting feature of the tie anchor. The tie member has at least one connector for connecting to an abutting tie member.

A wall tie clamp for use with a threaded and nutted wall tie system, where the wall tie clamp is constructed to straddle and grip in a releasable locking manner the threaded end portion of the wall tie adjacent a positioning nut carried thereby. The wall tie clamp includes a locking plate assembly which is adapted to engage and hold the positioning nut of the wall tie at a fixed location on the wall tie, such that it may be effectively disassembled and removed from any particular wall form assembly without altering the set predetermined location of the positioning nut on the wall tie.

The tie rod also includes a continuous fiber wound about the anchor point and the cut-outs to form the tie rod.

A concrete form assembly that includes a shaping assembly with a number of generally planar panels, and, a retaining assembly with a number of whaler clamp assemblies and a number of whaler cleat assemblies.
