SYSTEM FOR FORMING A STRUCTURE HAVING LOAD-BEARING CAPABILITIES

摘要

A system (10) for forming a structure having load-bearing capabilities is provided. This system (10) includes a material (18) capable of conforming to a desired shape and an activator (16) that includes a pre-measured amount of fluid. Both the material (18) and (16) the activator are contained within an activator-impervious sealed pouch (12). The pouch (12) is clamped or sealed so as to isolate the conformable material (18) from the activator (16) by creating two separated areas (22 and 24) within the pouch (12). In use, a device clamping the pouch (12) is removed or an internal frangible seal (26) of the pouch (12) is broken so as to allow the activator (16) to be mixed with the conformable material (18). Following this, the pouch (12) is opened, and the activated material (18) is removed. The activated material (18) then may be applied to a surface where it hardens and forms a structure having load-bearing capabilities (10).
