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.

Disclosed herein is a concrete form apparatus that can be utilized to establish a rigid perimeter within which concrete can be poured for curing. A first component of the concrete form apparatus can be composed of a flat rigid material that is rectangular in shape and includes perforations along the lengthwise dimension of the material such that, when the material is folded along the perforations, an internal cavity is formed. The second component of the concrete form apparatus can be composed of a material having dimensions sized in accordance with the internal cavity of the folded material such that the first component can be folded along the perforations in the manner described above to encapsulate the second component within the internal cavity. Adhesive layers can be applied to prevent the concrete form apparatus from separating, and layers of the concrete form apparatus can be coated with a waterproofing substance.

The present invention relates to the creation of structures comprised of earthen-mixed composites. This forming system allows for the efficient creation of structures with relatively low cost, time, and labor with exceptional accuracy. Moreover, the system employs accessible and simple construction materials, allowing users of all skill levels to create structures that may serve as dwellings, educational, working, recreational sites, and the like.

A connector assembly (400) for connecting a pair of formwork panels (200) with each other is disclosed. The connector assembly (400) includes a base component (402) having an arm, a first opening (602) formed on the arm, and a locking portion (406) formed at an end of the arm and adapted to be removably inserted in a second opening formed by alignment of respective slots (204) of the pair of formwork panels (200). The connector assembly (400) further includes a handle component (404) adapted to be partially disposed in the base component (402) through the first opening (602) formed on the arm. The handle component (404) is adapted to be operated to rotate the arm such that the locking portion (406) is rotated within the first opening (602) to partially lock the base component (402) in the first opening (602) for connecting the pair of formwork panels (200).
