Abstract
A spacing web frame assembly for a molded construction form for use in forming a reinforced concrete wall including a pair of inner and outer vertically-oriented attachment studs and a reinforcing wire truss assembly having ends attached to the inner and outer attachment studs to provide a predetermined spacing distance between the inner and outer attachment studs. The studs are visible to the outside when the molded foam panels are attached thereto and the concrete is then added to form the walls. The studs may be formed of either wood or metal, depending upon the type of attachment fasteners desired to be driven into the studs.
Claims30
A reinforced concrete wall, comprising:
- a plurality of molded rectangular members having inner and outer surfaces and a vertically-oriented recess at the outer corner of each rectangular member;
- a plurality of spacing web frame assemblies attached at either end to the vertical edges of the outer surface of each rectangular member, each spacing web frame assembly including a pair of inner and outer vertically-oriented attachment studs, and a reinforcing assembly having ends attached to the inner and outer attachment studs, the inner and outer attachment studs fitting snugly into the space formed by a combination of two adjoining recesses to permit an outer surface of each stud to remain visible and to provide a predetermined spacing distance between the inner and outer attachment studs;
- and
- concrete contained between the plurality of molded rectangular members.
A spacing web frame assembly for a molded construction form for use in forming reinforced concrete walls, comprising:
- a pair of inner and outer vertically-oriented attachment studs;
- a reinforcing wire truss assembly having ends attached to the inner and outer attachment studs to provide a predetermined spacing distance between the inner and outer attachment studs, each of the attachment studs including a wooden member having a groove to receive one end of the reinforcing wire truss assembly;
- adhesive applied to the grooves;
- and
- a plurality of mechanical fasteners installed at predetermined points along each one of the wooden attachment studs securing the reinforcing wire truss assembly in the grooves in conjunction with the adhesive.
A spacing web frame assembly for a molded construction form for use in forming reinforced concrete walls, comprising:
- a pair of inner and outer vertically-oriented attachment studs;
- and
- a reinforcing wire truss assembly having ends attached to the inner and outer attachment studs to provide a predetermined spacing distance between the inner and outer attachment studs,
- wherein each of the attachment studs includes a metallic member shaped to receive one end of the reinforcing wire truss assembly, and
- wherein said reinforcing wire truss assembly includes at least three wires, two of the wires forming the ends of the reinforcing wire truss assembly and at least one remaining wire is shaped in an oscillating, back-and-forth arrangement between the two ends.
A spacing web frame assembly for a molded construction form for use in forming reinforced concrete walls, comprising:
- a pair of inner and outer vertically-oriented attachment studs;
- a reinforcing wire truss assembly having ends attached to the inner and outer attachment studs to provide a predetermined spacing distance between the inner and outer attachment studs, each of the attachments studs including a polymeric composite member having a channel to receive one end of the reinforcing wire truss assembly;
- and
- a securing means for securing the reinforcing wire truss assembly in the channel, and
- wherein said reinforcing wire truss assembly includes at least three wires, two of the wires forming the ends of the reinforcing wire truss assembly and at least one remaining wire is shaped in an oscillating, back-and-forth arrangement between the two ends.
A method for forming a reinforced concrete wall consisting of a plurality of molded rectangular members spaced apart with a plurality of spacing web frame assemblies including a pair of inner and outer vertically-oriented wooden attachment studs and a reinforcing assembly having ends attached to the inner and outer wooden attachment studs, comprising the steps of:
- forming a groove in the center of each of the wooden attachment studs, the groove having a predetermined depth and width for snugly receiving one end of the reinforcing assembly;
- applying an adhesive into the groove;
- inserting one end of the reinforcing assembly snugly into the groove;
- installing a plurality of mechanical fasteners at predetermined points along each one of the wooden attachment studs so as to prevent the withdrawal of the end of the reinforcing assembly prior to setting of the adhesive in the groove;
- placing two of said plurality of molded rectangular members between each of the spacing web frame assemblies such that the studs are contained in a combination of vertically-oriented recesses formed at outer corners of each molded rectangular member;
- and
- introducing concrete into the space between the pair of molded rectangular members.
A method for forming a reinforced concrete wall consisting of a plurality of molded rectangular members spaced apart with a plurality of spacing web frame assemblies including a pair of inner and outer vertically-oriented metallic attachment studs and a reinforcing assembly having ends attached to the inner and outer metallic attachment studs, comprising the steps of:
- forming a channel in the center of each of the metallic attachment studs, the channel having a width greater than the diameter of an end of the reinforcing assembly;
- inserting one end of the reinforcing assembly loosely into the channel;
- filling the space formed between the end of the reinforcing assembly and the metallic attachment stud with a foam component such that there is no metal-to-metal contact between the end of the reinforcing assembly and the metallic attachment stud;
- placing a pair of molded rectangular members between each of the spacing web frame assemblies such that the studs are contained in a combination of vertically-oriented recesses formed at outer corners of each molded rectangular member;
- and
- introducing concrete into the space between the pair of molded rectangular members.
A method for forming a reinforced concrete wall consisting of a plurality of molded rectangular members spaced apart with a plurality of spacing web frame assemblies including a pair of inner and outer vertically-oriented polymeric composite attachment studs and a reinforcing assembly having ends attached to the inner and outer polymeric composite attachment studs, comprising the steps of:
- forming a channel in the center of each of the polymeric composite attachment studs, the channel having a width greater than the diameter of an end of the reinforcing assembly;
- inserting one end of the reinforcing assembly loosely into the channel;
- filling the space formed between the end of the reinforcing assembly and the polymeric composite attachment stud with a foam component,
- placing a pair of molded rectangular members between each of the spacing web frame assemblies such that the studs are contained in a combination of vertically-oriented recesses formed at outer corners of each molded rectangular member;
- and
- introducing concrete into the space between the pair of molded rectangular members.
