Abstract
A device for forming, reinforcing, joint sealing and edge protecting of a concrete slab panel, wherein the concrete slab panel having a volume, a length, a width, and a surface. The device comprising of an elongated post having a body, a top end and a bottom end with a plurality of elongated grooves extending along the body; a mounting frame has a length, a width and a thickness. The mounting frames having a connecting means to connect the mounting frame to the posts. The present invention eliminates the needs for saw-cut lines for crack inducement and acts as a joint sealer for the concrete slab to relieve the tensile stresses.

A device for subdividing a continuous concrete slab into a plurality of a polygon concrete slabs over a prepared subgrade surface area to prevent curling, wherein the continuous concrete slab having a thickness, the device comprising:
- a. a plurality of polygon shaped elements constructed by a plurality of mounting frames and mounting posts, wherein each said mounting frame forming a side of said polygon shaped element and each said mounting post forming a vertex of said polygon shaped element;
- b. each said mounting post having a body, a top, a bottom and a connecting means, wherein said post is perpendicularly placed over said prepared subgrade surface area, and
- c. each said mounting frame having a frame-length, a frame-height, a frame-thickness, a frame-bottom end and a frame-top end, said mounting frame connects to said post by a connecting means,
- whereby said mounting frames act as saw-cut lines to induce cracks and as joint sealers between said polygon shaped elements.
