Abstract
A stud form and system for forming a preformed concrete wall panel having a solid portion and a plurality of vertical concrete studs joined to the solid portion. The stud form includes a substantially U-shaped channel having a face portion that defines an elongated plane and leg portions extending along side of and away from the elongated plane to define a predetermined channel depth. The stud form further includes means for integrally connecting the stud form to the solid portion of the wall panel with the channel opened toward the solid portion.
Claims17
A stud form of a type used in forming a preformed concrete wall panel having a solid portion and a plurality of vertical concrete studs joined to the solid portion, the stud form characterized by:
- a substantially U-shaped channel having a face portion that defines an elongated plane and leg portions extending along side of and away from the elongated plane to define a predetermined channel depth;
- and
- means for integrally connecting the stud form to the solid portion of the wall panel with the channel opened toward the solid portion.
A preformed concrete wall panel comprising:
- a solid portion;
- a plurality of vertical concrete studs;
- a plurality of stud forms, each associated with a vertical concrete stud and having:
- a substantially U-shaped channel having a face portion that defines an elongated plane and leg portions that extend along side of and away from the elongated plane and define a predetermined channel depth around the associated stud;
- and
- means for integrally connecting the stud form to the solid portion of the wall panel;
- and
- a plurality of insulating panels extending between adjacent stud forms.
A system for forming preformed insulated concrete walls including a solid wall portion in a single pour, the system comprising:
- a frame assembly that defines the overall perimeter of a wall;
- means for forming top and bottom beams within the frame assembly;
- a plurality of stud forms extending between the top and bottom beam forming means, each stud form including:
- a substantially U-shaped channel having a face portion that defines an elongated plane and leg portions extending along side of and away from the elongated plane to define a predetermined channel depth;
- and
- means for integrally connecting the stud form to the solid portion of the wall panel with the channel opened toward the solid portion;
- and
- insulation panels extending between the top and bottom beam forming means and the stud forms.
