Insulated concrete form and method of using same

摘要

A connector for a pair of opposed spaced concrete forming panels. The connector comprises an elongate spacer member having flanges formed thereon intermediate a central portion thereof and each opposite end thereof. A portion of at least one end of the spacer member is sized and shaped to selectively engage an elongate panel bracing member. A composite insulated concrete form and a method of using the insulated concrete form are also disclosed.

1. A form for concrete comprising:
a first foam insulating panel; a second foam insulating panel spaced from the first foam insulating panel defining a space therebetween; a plurality of spacer members attached to the first and second foam insulating panels, wherein a first portion of each of the plurality of spacer members extends through the first foam insulating panel; a first elongate panel bracing member removably supporting the first foam insulating panel in a vertical position; a first layer of reinforcing material attached to, contacting and substantially covering a primary surface of the first foam insulating panel such that the first layer of reinforcing material is disposed between the first foam insulating panel and the first elongate panel bracing member; a first cap member attached to the first portion of each of the plurality of panel spacer members, such that at least a portion of the first layer of reinforcing material is captured between the first foam insulating panel and the first cap member; a second elongate panel bracing member removably supporting the second foam insulating panel in a vertical position; and a second layer of reinforcing material attached to, contacting and substantially covering a primary surface of the second foam insulating panel such that the second layer of reinforcing material is disposed between the second foam insulating panel and the second elongate panel bracing member.
