APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR FORMING AN ELEVATED DECK

摘要

A system and method for forming an elevated deck and support beam within a structure enables the pouring of one or a succession of superposed decks above a floor or other supporting surface. The system includes a plurality of profiles which alone or in combination define concrete-receiving reservoirs for forming poured in place support beams, with the elevated deck being poured contemporaneously therewith for support on the beams. The profiles include first and second preferably divergent sidewalls which are connected by middle member which serves as a base or bridge between the sidewalls. The profiles are complementally configured to nest with one another to provide a span across structural walls, and may be provided with complementally configured end caps.
