Filed:

Jul 3, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/614264

Inventors:

Michael Rodgers - Madison MS, US
Jerry Hensen - Lubbock TX, US

International Classification:

E04B002/00

US Classification:

052292000, 052506010

Abstract:

A lightweight poured-in-place concrete builiding component and method of construction in which a plurality of spaced apart structural members with outer regions and a retaining layer system create a segmented form into which a lightweight concrete slurry is poured. The retaining layer system includes a lath which extends across the structural members on at least one outer region of the structual members. The lath is configured to simultaneously support a significant amount of the lightweight concrete slurry within a segmented form and allow a small amount to exude through the lath, thereby reinforcing a concrete component once cured. Alternative embodiments include the introduction of a barrier between a significant portion of a lath and concrete slurry to, at least reduce the amount on concrete which exudes-through the lath. Other altnerative embodiments include the introduction of insulative materials to the concrete slurry to enhance the insulative qualitites of a concrete component.

Abstract:

A framed forming panel system a plurality of lightweight framed foam panels secured to a plurality of load bearing members having a user defined spacing to form a panel wall; ceiling for floor with a fastening region lattice. Each lightweight framed form panel composed a channel formed in a frame to receive a lightweight panel of foam. Fixation of framed panels to load bearing members in opposition to one another allows the panel walls, ceiling or floor to function as a form to retain an insulative mass placed within the voids created by the opposing framed panels.
