A pre-cast concrete form for cast-in-place beams and columns and a method of forming the same. The form includes a form body having a channel through a length thereof and a shear bonding key along the length, the channel being adapted to receive cast-in-place concrete therein to form a beam or column. The shear bonding key is integrally formed in the body and has a grooved portion and a ribbed portion for bonding the cast-in-place concrete to the form body. The form body may further include a reinforcing stirrup tie cast therein and extending into the channel, adapted to secure the form body to an opposed form body. The form body may include a plurality of shear bonding keys and reinforcing stirrup ties spaced apart along the length thereof. The method includes the steps of positioning a pre-cast concrete form having a channel extending therethrough, pouring the cast-in-place concrete into the channel of the form, and bonding the concrete to the form with a shear bonding key integrally formed along the channel of the form. This method may further include the step of securing opposed forms together with a reinforcing stirrup tie extending from the forms into the cast-in-place concrete.
