Definitions

  • This invention relates to construction of buildings using concrete forms. More particularly, this invention relates to a system adapted to temporarily carry a structural load of a building during construction, while the concrete cures, such that construction is not limited by the cure time of concrete components.
  • Concrete forms for a concrete structure are well known in the construction industry. Such forms are often referred to as Insulating Concrete Forms (or “ICFs”), and hold the shape of the concrete while it cures.
  • ICFs Insulating Concrete Forms
  • opposing panels of Styrofoam® (Dow Chemical Co.), or other insulating foam panels are interconnected by braces that maintain proper spacing between the panels and maintain the desired form for the concrete structure while the concrete is placed and cured.
  • the braces of opposing panels may also provide support for positioning rebar or other reinforcing materials between the panels while the concrete is being placed and is hardening.
  • foam panels with bracing are typically used, the panels could not independently support construction on a floor above while the concrete wall is being placed and cured.
  • a series of vertical wall braces are typically placed on one or both sides of the concrete forms, secured to a base, and attached to the concrete forms to provide lateral support to the concrete forms during and/or after the concrete is placed.
  • Diagonal braces also may be attached to an upper portion of the vertical wall braces to provide additional lateral support.
  • Brackets or other similar structures may also be attached to the vertical braces near the top of the concrete forms to provide workers with access during assembly of the upper portions of the concrete forms and pouring of the concrete.
  • stiffbacks and diagonal bracing provided support for the concrete forms while laterally supporting concrete placed and not yet cured. Also, such stiffbacks previously could not provide support for building construction above while supporting the placed, uncured concrete wall.
  • the present invention provides a significant savings in time and cost in constructing a building structure using concrete forms, and an assembled floor above the walls.
  • Prior systems required concrete to be placed in a concrete form wall system and allowed to cure upon a first day, followed by assembly of trusses and subfloor decking for the floor above on a subsequent day, and placing of a concrete floor on the following day(s).
  • the method of constructing a concrete structure provided herein allows the concrete formed walls and floor assembly above the walls to be erected and concrete wall and floor above to be placed on the same day as desired.
  • a method of constructing a building structure which allows construction of a floor or other construction above the wall to proceed while concrete walls are placed and cured.
  • the method includes assembly of a plurality of adjustable braces attached to concrete forms capable of providing structural support for construction above and for an uncured concrete wall in the forms, where each adjustable brace has an elongated first support and an elongated second support dimensioned to enable the first support to slidably engage the second support.
  • the first and second supports may be dimensioned to allow one to be telescoped into at least a portion of the other along their longitudinal length.
  • a plurality of apertures are spaced along both first and second supports to allow the apertures in the first and second supports to align as the first and second support slide relative to each other.
  • the apertures are adapted to accept one or more fasteners to secure the first support and the second support together to form the brace of an adjustable length capable of providing structural support along the length of the brace.
  • a cap is provided adjacent an end portion of the first support and is adapted to provide support for trusses for a floor above the concrete forms.
  • the adjustable braces assembled with the wall forms are thus able to temporarily provide structural support to enable construction of a floor above to proceed, as well as provide support for placed concrete walls while the concrete cured to become structural bearing components for the building.
  • the adjustable braces vertically span the concrete forms to provide structural support for the construction of the floor above, usually from the foundation or floor below the concrete forms.
  • the cap may comprise an upper portion adapted to support the upper chord of a steel truss and a nesting portion capable of allowing an end web portion of the steel truss to be positioned.
  • the upper portion of the cap may have upper support surfaces spaced to support the upper chord of a steel truss and provide for a passage there between of the web of the truss.
  • the cap may also comprise a lower portion dimensioned to engage the first support such as to be received by an end portion of the first support or to receive the end portion of the first support.
  • the method may also include placing the adjustable brace adjacent concrete forms and then positioning metal trusses on the caps.
  • the method may also include assembling a steel cover, typically of L-shaped metal pieces, over the top and upper edges of the concrete forms. Workers then may fasten subfloor decking to the assembled trusses. The presence of a passage in the cap permits an upper chord to rest on the cap while a web portion of the truss is positioned in a nesting portion from the top chord to a bottom chord of the trusses.
  • the method also comprises placing concrete above the concrete form over the subfloor decking, with the adjustable braces attached to the concrete forms independently supporting the trusses, subfloor decking and the concrete floor.
  • the adjustable brace system provides a temporary support structure bearing the load of the truss, decking and concrete above the decking as well as lateral support for the ICF, while the concrete in the wall system cures.
  • the adjustable brace system may be removed once the concrete has sufficiently hardened to independently bear the structural load of the building.
  • An adjustable brace system for insulating concrete forms comprising a first support, a second support, and a cap.
  • the first and second supports are dimensioned such that the first support slidably engages the second support, or vice versa.
  • the first support may telescope into a portion of the second support, and be capable of providing structural support along the longitudinal length of the adjustable brace.
  • a plurality of apertures is located in the first and second supports to enable the apertures in the first support to align with apertures in the second support and allow adjustment of the length of the adjustable brace.
  • Fasteners such as support pins are inserted into the apertures to secure the first and second supports together and fix the adjustable length of the brace.
  • first support and the second support may each comprise a web, a first flange attached to a first edge of the web, and a second flange attached to a second edge of the web, in a generally C-shape cross section.
  • the plurality of apertures may be located along the first and second flanges of the first and second supports.
  • the cap is adapted to be positioned adjacent the end portion of the first support and support a truss in position for a floor structure above.
  • the cap may provide at least one support surface adapted to support one or more chords of a steel truss, with a nesting portion to allow a web portion of a truss to pass through, so that the truss is supported in structural position to support subfloor decking.
  • the cap may comprise an upper portion to provide support for the chord of a truss, with a nesting portion through which a web of the truss may extend, to position the truss for construction of a floor above the concrete wall forms and wall structure.
  • the cap may additionally comprise a lower portion connected to an end portion of the first support of the adjustable brace and a stop, for example in the form of a plate, positioned between the upper portion of the cap and the lower portion of the cap.
  • the stop may have a length and width greater than the dimensions of the first or second support.
  • the stop may additionally contain a gap that communicates to provide for positioning of a truss positioned for construction of a floor structure above the concrete wall forms and wall structure.
  • the lower cap portion may additionally comprise one or more reinforcing members extending from a first flange of the lower cap portion to a second flange of the lower cap portion.
  • the first flange and the second flange of the lower cap portion may additionally comprise one or more apertures.
