The invention relates to a formwork panel element for shuttering a curable building material, having a frame (2) and having a multilayer formwork skin (3) fastened to the frame (2). The formwork skin (3) has a support panel (4) and a rigid wear panel (5). The support panel (4) is fastened to the frame (2). The wear panel (5) is releasably fixed to the support panel (4). A front side (5a) of the wear panel (5) facing away from the support panel (4) is designed as a surface in contact with the building material. The support panel (4) is fastened to the frame (2) so that it is resistant to tensile stress and shearing, in such a way that the support panel (4) supports the frame (2) statically, the support panel (4) being connected to the frame (2) in a non-releasable manner, or in a manner allowing release under certain conditions.

The invention relates to a formwork module for a formwork for a building part comprising at least one formwork carrier and at least one formwork shell, wherein at least one connector is situated between the formwork carrier and the formwork shell. The connector comprises at least one carrier element which is fastened on or in the formwork carrier, and at least one formwork shell element which is fastened in or on the formwork shell. The carrier element and the formwork shell element can be reversibly interconnected and form the connector by means of which the formwork shell can be reversibly connected to the formwork carrier. The invention also relates to the use of a connector for detachably connecting a formwork carrier to a formwork shell and to a method for connecting a formwork shell to a formwork carrier of a formwork module. Finally, the invention relates to a method for separating a formwork shell from a formwork carrier of a formwork module.

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.

Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture provide for a mold system for molding structures (e.g., sand castles) from one or more various types of molding substances (e.g., sand, clay, snow). In one embodiment, a mold system comprises a split mold comprising at least two mold sections. In one embodiment, a modular mold system allows for different types of mold sections with corresponding joining elements to be joined together to create forms for molding various types of structures. In some embodiments, mold sections are configured to facilitate the breaking of a vacuum created when molding substances are packed into the mold system, thus making it easier to separate a mold from the formed structure.

The 2×4 Coupling Plate allows two boards to be reversibly coupled so that the lengths of the two boards may be added together. The coupling plates allows both boards to be separated without damaging them. This device allows a concrete fabricator to assembly two 2×4 boards together and hold them together to form a structure to contain liquid concrete. Once the concrete is set, the installer removes the two boards from the coupling plate so that the boards can be used on another concrete form.

The present invention relates to a self-supporting, prefabricated, folding form structure or mechanism to be used in the construction industry. It is based on various types of geometries, providing enhanced strength and stability for the concrete and other building material casting process. The object of this invention is a foldable, prefabricated, self-supporting form and does not require a structure. It is configured in a variety of geometric shapes and is based on structural elements that have internal casting chambers or ducts interconnected between each other through perforated holes. This is done by means of internal assembly channels or cavities forming casting chambers. The casting chambers are interconnected with each other, through holes drilled in the structural elements. This way the form features an assembly between its walls through cracks or assembly cuts, creating an architecture of superior engineering that provides higher resistance and stability.

The invention relates to a functional panel for receiving surface loads comprising a plurality of veneer layers that are arranged one on top of another and are connected together in a materially bonded manner, wherein a part of these veneer layers has an A-fibre direction, and another part of these veneer layers has a B-fibre direction oriented at more or less 90° to the A-fibre direction. The functional panel has a central plane defined substantially in the middle of the functional panel in the in the thickness direction. The cumulative thickness of the veneer layers with the A-fibre direction differs from the cumulative thickness of the veneer layers with the B-fibre direction on a first side of the central plane, and the cumulative thickness of the veneer layers with the A-fibre direction differs from the cumulative thickness of the veneer layers with the B-fibre direction on the second side located on the opposite from the first side of the central plane. As a result, the functional panel has an asymmetric structure in its thickness direction. The invention also relates to the use of a functional panel as a formwork shell for the formwork of a building part, and a method for producing the formwork of a building part with at least one functional panel.
