In construction, concrete curbs are constructed using a form construction arrangement, usually made of wood or metal or a combination of wood and metal components. The form arrangement sets the general boundaries of the curb, much like a mold. The pourable concrete, which can be in a semi-solid state or be a slurry, is poured into the form arrangement. Once the pourable concrete has reached a sufficiently solid state, the form arrangement is removed and the curb is finished. In general, wood form arrangements always require metal pins or stakes for reinforcement of the wood boards that hold and shape the concrete. The present application describes a method of constructing a concrete curb or similar structure using a wood form construction arrangement that includes a bracket device that obviates the need for metal pins, or at least reduces the number of metal pins required to a very minimal amount.

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 stem wall bracket comprising a horizontal member, a short vertical member extending downward from a first edge of the horizontal member, and a long vertical member extending downward from a second edge of the horizontal member, where the first edge is opposite the second edge. The stem wall bracket further comprises a pin holder configured to extend through a hole in the horizontal member. The pin holder comprises a vertical portion and a horizontal portion extending from the vertical portion, where the horizontal portion is configured to hold a horizontally oriented rebar. The short vertical member and long vertical member further comprise a plurality of holes to allow a first and second form board to be removably attached using a plurality of fasteners.

An adjustable railing post-to-substrate embed system for anchoring a railing post having a railing base with plural railing base anchor holes includes: a plate, having anchor holes; a plurality of nuts, a first end of each nut being arranged proximate a respective one of the anchor holes, the first end of each nut being configured to be selectively and removably threadingly engaged, via the respective anchor hole, with one selected from the group consisting of: respective upper protective bolts, and respective bolts of the railing base; and a plurality of anchors, each being configured to adjustably threadingly engage a second end of a respective one of the nuts, distal the respective anchor hole, each of the anchors being individually adjustable in length by threadable engagement with the second end of the respective one of the nuts.

The described Concrete Form Brace With Multi-Depth Rebar Positioning is comprised of opposing attachment members, which secure the brace to the concrete form elements. The attachment members have a first top end, and a second bottom end. The corresponding bottom ends of the attachment members are connected by a spanning element, which spans the width of the concrete form. The attachment members and spanning element are further connected by a plurality of reinforcing struts. Rebar attachment means at multiple vertical depths within the concrete form are integrated or connected to the reinforcing struts to provide rebar securement means at multiple depths within the poured concrete. The preferred embodiment also features vertical spacing between horizontally placed rebar to accommodate “L” shaped vertical rebar placement for applications where vertical rebar is specified.
