A modular concrete form structure including a series of at least three vertically extending rows of concrete form panels to be joined together in side-by-side relation as a gang for use in the formation of straight or curved concrete walls. The panels have confronting slotted panel margins about their perimeters. Fasteners secure the confronting panel margins in side-by-side relation. A series of spaced vertically aligned a horizontally positioned mini-walers are provided for mounted disposition in lapped engagement against the confronting slotted panel margins. The mini-walers each have a width exceeding the width of the form panel and being of sufficient additional width to extend over joints formed between the confronting slotted panel margins at opposite sides of each panel to provide a backing. Fasteners are provided for securing the spaced vertically aligned horizontally positioned mini-walers to the panels. An upright strongback structure is mounted in abutment against said spaced vertically aligned horizontally positioned mini-walers generally in right angle relation thereto. Fastener means secures the strongback structure in unitary assembly with the panels.
In a modular curved concrete form structure, wherein the improvement comprises a pair of curved sections with one section having a greater diameter, each section including a series of at least three vertically extending rows of modular concrete form panels joined together in curving side-by-side relation as a gang providing a generally curved surface concrete forming area, the panels each having confronting slotted panel margins about its perimeter, fasteners securing the confronting panel margins in curving side-by-side relation, a series of spaced vertically aligned and horizontally positioned modular flat sided walers mounted in lapped engagement against said confronting slotted panel margins, said walers each having a width less than the width of a pair of the panels but exceeding the width of one of said form panels only being of sufficient additional width to extend over joints formed between the confronting slotted panel margins at opposite sides of each panel to provide a backing, fasteners securing the spaced vertically aligned horizontally positioned walers to the panels, upright strongback structure mounted in abutment against said spaced vertically aligned horizontally positioned walers generally in right angle relation thereto, and fastener means securing said strongback structure in unitary assembly with said panels.
In a modular concrete form structure wherein the improvement comprises a series of at least three vertically extending rows of reusable concrete form panels to be joined together in side-by-side relation as a gang in the formation of a curved concrete wall, the panels having confronting slotted panel margins about their perimeter, fasteners securing the confronting panel margins in each series in side-by-side relation, a series of spaced vertically aligned and horizontally positioned walers for said panels and being mounted in lapped engagement against said confronting slotted panel margins, said walers each having a width less than the width of a pair of the panels but exceeding the width of one of said form panels and only being of sufficient additional width to extend over joints formed between the confronting slotted panel margins at opposite sides of each panel to provide a backing, fasteners for securing the spaced vertically aligned horizontally positioned walers to the panels in each series, upright strongback structure for each series mounted in abutment against said spaced vertically aligned horizontally positioned walers generally in right angle relation thereto and tie rod fastener means securing said strongback structures with said panels thereby connecting said transversely spaced first and second rows of panels in unitary assembly in readiness for a concrete pout to form a concrete wall.
