METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR FORMING CONSTRUCTION PANELS AND STRUCTURES

摘要

Method and arrangement for casting structures using form-work is disclosed applicable but no limited to on-site casting concrete construction panels for subsequent erection. Set back from form-work location are set-back buttresses (11) fixed to the work site surface. The set-back buttresses (11) support sliding risers (25-29) which can be secured in place relative to the set-back buttresses (11) and released and moved to and from the form-work location. The sliding risers (25-29) support form-work at the form-work location. A plurality of sliding risers (25-29) can be supported by the set-back buttresses (11) one above the other. In this way side- forms can be supported for structures of complex vertical profiles; for example, convex or concave walls, steps and stacks of construction panels may be moulded. Also disclosed are reusable side-forms which are supported by the sliding risers (25-29) and can be used as form work for construction panels. The side-forms can be butted together end to end and also end to face thereby continuous rectangular moulds can be made.
