Abstract
A system for tilt-up concrete panel forming for use on a casting surface comprising an elongated base strip having an elongated groove in an upper surface, having a chamfered edge, and having a bottom surface adapted to be adhesively attached to the casting surface. The base strip has a support edge on the upper surface for receiving and supporting an elongated wooden panel form. A plurality of brackets each have a bottom section for mating with the elongated groove of the base strip at spaced intervals along the base strip, and the brackets further including a support section for supporting a side of the panel forms. Suitable clips can be added to the support sections of the brackets to impart a camber to an end of the concrete panel being formed.

A system for tilt-up concrete panel forming for use on a concrete casting surface comprising
- an elongated base strip having an elongated groove in an upper surface, having a chamfered edge, and having a bottom surface adapted to receive an adhesive along the length of the bottom surface for securing the base strip to the casting surface, the base strip having a support edge on the upper surface adjacent an upper end of the chamfered edge for receiving an elongated panel form, and
- a plurality of brackets each having a bottom section with at least one inclined edge for enabling the brackets to snap into the elongated groove of the base strip at spaced intervals along the base strip, the brackets further including an upstanding support section for supporting a side of a panel form, and the brackets including an angled brace fixed to the upstanding section and extending downwardly at an angle and having a bottom for engaging the casting surface.
A system for tilt-up concrete panel forming for use on a concrete casting surface comprising
- an elongated base strip formed of plastic having an elongated groove in an upper surface, having a chamfered edge, and having a bottom surface adapted to receive an adhesive along the length of the bottom surface for securing the base strip to the casting surface, the base strip having a support edge on the upper surface adjacent an upper end of the chamfered edge for receiving an elongated wooden panel form, and
- a plurality of metal or plastic brackets each having a bottom section with at least one inclined edge for enabling the brackets to snap into the elongated groove of the base strip at spaced intervals along the base strip, the brackets further including an upstanding support section for supporting a side of a panel form, and the brackets including an angled brace fixed to the upstanding section and extending downwardly at an angle and having a bottom for engaging the casting surface, the upper end of the support section of each bracket having a groove for facilitating attachment to the panel form.
