Abstract
A form-work support arrangement for building form-work for moulding a concrete construction panel on top of a previously poured concrete panel (58). Generally the upper panel to be moulded has the same horizontal dimensions as the previously poured panel (58), the arrangement including an anchor bracket (60) adapted to be removably attached (66) to the previously poured concrete panel (58), an edge form bracket (48) adapted to be removably attached (16) to the anchor bracket (60), the edge from bracket (48) adapted to removably support an edge form (18) having an outer face, the outer face defining an edge of the concrete panel to be poured and positioned so that the outer face is generally above the edge of the previously poured concrete panel (58).
Claims11
A form-work support arrangement for building form-work used for moulding a concrete construction panel on top a previously poured concrete panel wherein the upper panel to be moulded has the same or smaller horizontal dimension as the previously poured panel said arrangement including:
- an anchor bracket adapted to be removably attached to said previously poured concrete panel;
- an edge form bracket adapted to be removably attached to the anchor bracket;
- said edge form bracket adapted to removably support an edge form having an outer face said outer face defining an edge of the concrete panel to be poured and positioned so that the outer face is generally above the edge of the previously poured concrete panel.
A form-work arrangement as in any one of the above claims wherein said anchor bracket is attached to the concrete panel by the use threaded bolts engaging said anchor bracket and said ferrules.
A form-work arrangement as in any one of the above claims wherein said anchor bracket is a right angled bracket having a base and a side, said base adapted to support said edge form.
A form-work arrangement as in any one of the above claims wherein said edge form bracket is a right angled bracket having a base and a side, said base adapted to engage said anchor bracket.
A form-work arrangement as in any one of the above claims wherein said anchor bracket has a tilting means to adjust the vertical orientation of said anchor bracket.
A form-work support arrangement for building form-work used for moulding a concrete construction panel on top a previously poured concrete panel wherein the upper panel to be moulded has the same or smaller horizontal dimension as the previously poured panel said arrangement including:
- a bottom bracket adapted to be removably attached to said previously poured concrete panel located on a base;
- a top bracket adapted to be removably attached to the bottom bracket;
- said bottom bracket adapted to be attached to the previously poured panel by the use of fixing means;
- said top bracket removably attached to the bottom bracket by the use of at least one fixing means passing through said top bracket and engaging an anchor means in the bottom bracket;
- said top bracket adapted to removably support a sideform having an outer face said sideform defining the outer face of the concrete panel to be poured.
A method of constructing concrete panels including the steps;
- of
- (a) preparing a casting bed,
- (b) securing edge forms to edge form brackets that are secured to the casting bed to define a void and with ferrules extending into said void,
- (c) pouring concrete into the void volume defined by the form-work and letting it cure to form a concrete panel,
- (d) coating said upper surface of the cured concrete panel with a bond breaker.
- (e) removing the edge form brackets supporting the edge forms from the casting bed,
- (f) securing anchor brackets to the first concrete panel using the cast ferrules,
- (g) attaching the edge form brackets supporting the edge forms to the anchor brackets to thereby define a second volume to be filled with concrete to define a second concrete panel.
