Abstract
A modular form comprises a base plate, one or more connection units, a plurality of rebar supports. The base plate has a plurality of knock-outs, each knock-out being configured to be removed to generate a traversable by a pile. The connection units are aligned with respective knock outs, and are joined to the base plate and held above the base plate, to receive a pile to establish a connection between the pile and the form. The rebar supports are configured to support rebars above the base plate, and at least some of the rebar supports are configured to be joined to a portion of a connector, the remaining portion of the connector is: joinable to a rebar support of a second modular form, thereby joining the modular form to the second modular form; or joined to a form wall, thereby joining the modular form to the form wall.
Claims19
A modular form comprising:
- a base plate having a plurality of sides and at least one knock out, each of the at least one knock out being configured to be removed to generate a respective perforation configured to be traversed by a pile;
- one or more connection units aligned with a respective one of the at least one knock out, the connection units being joined to the base plate and held above the base plate, each connection unit being configured to receive a pile to establish a connection between the pile and the form;
- a plurality of rebar supports configured to support rebars above the base plate, wherein at least some of the rebar supports are configured to be joined to a portion of a connector, such that a remaining portion of the connector is:
- joinable to a rebar support of a second modular form, thereby joining the modular form to the second modular form;
- or
- joined to a form wall, thereby joining the modular form to the form wall, such that the form wall contacts the base plate and rises from the base plate;
- and
- at least one support bracket joined to an upper surface of the base plate and to at least one of the connection units.
A modular form comprising:
- a base plate having a plurality of sides and at least one knock out, each of the at least one knock out being configured to be removed to generate a respective perforation configured to be traversed by a pile;
- one or more connection units aligned with a respective one of the at least one knock out, the connection units being joined to the base plate and held above the base plate, each connection unit being configured to receive a pile to establish a connection between the pile and the form;
- a plurality of rebar supports configured to support rebars above the base plate, wherein at least some of the rebar supports are configured to be joined to a portion of a connector, such that a remaining portion of the connector is:
- joinable to a rebar support of a second modular form, thereby joining the modular form to the second modular form;
- or
- joined to a form wall, thereby joining the modular form to the form wall, such that the form wall contacts the base plate and rises from the base plate;
- and
- wherein the base plate has a recessed trough under at least one of the one or more connection units.
A modular form comprising:
- a base plate having a plurality of sides and at least one knock out, each of the at least one knock out being configured to be removed to generate a respective perforation configured to be traversed by a pile;
- one or more connection units aligned with a respective one of the at least one knock out, the connection units being joined to the base plate and held above the base plate, each connection unit being configured to receive a pile to establish a connection between the pile and the form, wherein each connection unit comprises an open or closed loop configured to be traversed by a pile;
- a plurality of rebar supports configured to support rebars above the base plate, wherein at least some of the rebar supports are configured to be joined to a portion of a connector, such that a remaining portion of the connector is:
- joinable to a rebar support of a second modular form, thereby joining the modular form to the second modular form;
- or
- joined to a form wall, thereby joining the modular form to the form wall, such that the form wall contacts the base plate and rises from the base plate;
- and
- a cap configured to receive a pile within the cap and be secured to the pile, the cap having an upper section and a lower section, the upper section being larger than the loop and the lower section having an outer surface configured to traverse the loop.
