WELDED WIRE REINFORCEMENT FOR MODULAR CONCRETE FORMS

摘要

A welded wire reinforcement is used in combination with insulated concrete form blocks having opposed panels joined by form ties. A method of construction forms building structures with insulated concert form blocks. The reinforcement member bas a base bar and a plurality of arms extending downwardly from the base bar and is utilized to provide increased internal strength to a modular concrete wall system. The welded wine reinforcement provides vertical and horizontal support without requiring any extra time or material to connect a vertical reinforcement to the concrete forms of the wall system. An alternate embodiment of the reinforcement member includes a horizontal base bar, arms extending downward and perpendicular from the base bar, and a plurality of end pieces attached to t he arms to form a discontinuous bottom bar. The base bar and bottom bar are slidably received in rebar chairs defined bar the form ties. Another embodiment of the reinforcement member is utilized for reinforcing a modular concrete wall form with a ledge.
