Adjustable radius form assembly

An adjustable radius form assembly for use in the construction of curved structures, said form assembly comprising:

• at least two walers having adjacent ends connected together at a connection at said adjacent ends thereof and being pivotable with respect to one another at said connection;
• an adjuster group interconnected between and spaced laterally from said walers, said adjuster group including a first adjuster attached to one of said walers, and a second adjuster connected to another of said walers, said first and second adjusters each having a channel formed therethrough;
• and
• a stabilizing member having a length, said stabilizing member inserted through said channels of said first and second adjusters and being adjustably secured therein, said first and second adjusters being adjustable along said length of said stabilizing member which corresponds to a desired angle of rotation of one of said walers with respect to another of said walers.

An adjustable radius form assembly for use in the construction of curved walls, said form assembly comprising:

• at least two laterally spaced vertical strongbacks;
• at least two vertically spaced walers;
• at least two vertically spaced connectors extending from each strongback, said connectors being equally spaced along each strongback;
• means for holding each of said connectors in a fixed position along said strongbacks;
• and
• a first fastener on each of said connectors for releasably securing said walers to said strongbacks.

A method of constructing a curved shaped form assembly comprising the steps of:

• providing a first set of at least two horizontal members connected together at adjacent ends;
• determining a desired curvature;
• adjusting a group of first two horizontal members of the first set to the desired curvature by:
• (i) pivoting one horizontal member with respect to the other horizontal member at the adjacent ends;
• (ii) releasably securing the one horizontal member with respect to the other horizontal member to maintain a first angle of rotation;
• connecting a third horizontal member to the group of the first set;
• pivoting the third horizontal member with respect to an opposite end of one of the first two horizontal members;
• releasably securing the third horizontal member to create a second angle of rotation with respect to one of the first two horizontal members;
• mounting a plurality of vertically extending members to the horizontal members;
• and
• adjusting the horizontal spacing between the vertically extending members.
