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 rebar tie wire, including an inner wire portion including a radially outward facing surface, and a coating arranged on the radially outward facing surface, the coating including high density polyethylene (HDPE), and a bonding agent.

A form tie system for efficiently and securely tying together panels of a wall form with an elongated member. The form tie system generally includes a first holder which is adapted to be positioned adjacent to a first panel and a second holder which is adapted to be positioned adjacent to a second panel of a wall form. Each holder includes a grip such as a strand chuck which is adapted to securely retain an elongated member that extends from the first holder to the second holder to tie the panels of the wall form together. One of the holders may comprise an adjustable holder including an adjustable nut utilized to bear against the strand chuck to increase tension in the elongated member. After formation of the wall, the elongated member may be cut and the holders released prior to removing the wall forms from around the completed wall.

The insulating concrete form system includes longitudinal and corner block assemblies each having a pair of side panels configured with tie receivers interacting with panel spacing ties to hold the side panels in an opposing manner and leading edges with an alternating arrangement of projections and recesses for interlocking with neighboring block assemblies. Each panel spacing tie includes a mid-support section interposing in between and connecting to a pair of end sections by a living hinge with each end section being configured with a flange member for placement within an opposing spatial wedge of the tie receiver, whereby the living hinge possesses the capability of allowing the side panels to move inwardly toward one another in a racked position to yield compactness of the longitudinal block assembly for economical transport. The corner block assembly also includes corner panel spacing ties to supplementally reinforce its structure to withstand hydrostatic blowout caused by poured concrete.

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.

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 connecting clamp for template assembling includes: a left clamp unit (1) and a right clamp unit (2), wherein the left clamp unit (1) is rotatably connected to the right clamp unit (2) through a shaft (3); clamping faces (13) and positioning-correction faces (14) corresponding to frames (101) of templates (10) are provided at front portions of both the left clamp unit (1) and the right clamp unit (2); a fixer is provided at rear portions of the left clamp unit (1) and the right clamp unit (2), wherein the fixer enables the front portions of the left clamp units (1) and the right clamp unit (2) to grip the frames (101) of the templates (10). The present invention has advantages such as a simple structure, convenient use and adaptability to assembling of various templates.

A device for removing form ties from concrete. The form tie removing device includes a housing having an open first end and a second end, wherein the housing defines an interior volume that can receive a form tie. One or more apertures are positioned along the housing, wherein the apertures allow a user to view the position of the form tie within the interior volume of the housing. A tool bit extends from the second end of the housing, wherein a distal end of the tool bit can be inserted into a power tool, such as a rotary drill or impact driver. In use, a form tie is positioned within the housing and the tool bit is inserted into the power tool. Upon activation of the power tool, the housing rotates and releases the form tie from the surrounding area, such as concrete.

A construction method for a radiation-proof concrete hole reserved split bolt includes: 1) mounting a hole reserved sleeve; 2) mounting an inclined recoverable split bolt; 3) mounting an inclined split bolt; 4) fixing the inclined recoverable split bolt and an inclined split bolt main body; 5) pouring concrete, and dismantling related components; 6) plugging the inclined split bolt main body; and 7) plugging the hole reserved sleeve. According to the construction method, the hole reserved sleeve is obliquely arranged, the inner side of the hole reserved sleeve is sprayed with a radiation-proof coating with the functions of reducing radiation ray reflection and absorbing certain radiation rays, and in addition, after the construction of a pipeline or a line in the hole reserved sleeve is finished, the openings at both ends of the hole reserved sleeve are plugged with a radiation-proof mortar incorporated with a micro-expanding agent and a waterproof agent.
