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.

A stud form of a type used in forming a preformed concrete wall panel 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, each leg portion portion including a support portion adapted to support a portion of an insulation panel;
- and
- means for integrally connecting the stud form to the wall panel.
A preformed concrete wall panel comprising:
- a solid portion;
- a plurality of vertical concrete studs;
- a plurality of insulating panels;
- 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, each leg portion including a support portion for supporting a portion of an insulation panel extending between adjacent stud forms;
- and
- means for integrally connecting the stud form to the solid portion of the wall panel.
A system for forming preformed insulated concrete walls 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 insulation panels;
- 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, each leg portion including a support portion for supporting a portion of an insulation panel extending between adjacent stud forms;
- and
- means for integrally connecting the stud form to the wall panel.
