Modular Concrete Form System And Method For Constructing Concrete Walls

US Patent:
5836126, Nov 17, 1998
Filed:
Jun 2, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/459461
Inventors:
Thomas E. Harkenrider - Carlsbad CA
Scott D. Pinkerton - Bonita CA
Robert W. Buck - Lake Forest CA
Jeffrey L. Hanson - Chino CA
Assignee:
The Salk Institute of Biological Studies - La Jolla CA
International Classification:
E04B 500
US Classification:
52410
Abstract:
A system for forming architectural concrete walls comprises a plurality of modular form units (32), each form unit comprising a generally rectangular support frame, a backing sheet (34, 36) and an overlying facing sheet (56; 58), each facing sheet having a facing surface defined by a plastic material, an elastic seal (68) along an edge of the form unit for positioning between adjacent form units for preventing water leakage, a minimal number of tie holes (26) extending through each form unit, a seal tube (74) assembly for positioning between the tie holes, and a tie rod (80) for each tie hole. An architectural concrete wall having minimal tie holes and surface cavities and a highly polished marble-like surface is formed of a concrete mix including diatomaceous earth to impart a grey marble color and appearance.
