International Classification:

E04B 1/16

US Classification:

264031000, 249002000

Abstract:

An embodiment configured according to principles of the invention of an apparatus for transferring a load between a first concrete slab and a second concrete slab, defining a joint, includes a plate configured to transfer a load between concrete slabs, a form having a slot configured to closely receive a first portion of the plate prior to pouring concrete thereon, and a sheath configured to receive a second portion of the plate. An embodiment configured according to principles of the invention of a method of forming concrete includes providing a plate configured to transfer a load between concrete slabs; providing a form having a slot configured to closely receive a first portion of the plate; positioning the form to receive concrete; inserting the first portion in the slot wherein a second portion of the plate is exposed; pouring a first volume of concrete on the form and the second portion; curing the first volume of concrete and defining a first slab; removing the form from the first slab and exposing the first portion; and disposing a sheath on the first portion. An embodiment configured according to principles of the invention of a method of forming concrete includes providing a plate configured to transfer a load between concrete slabs; providing a form having a slot configured to closely receive a first portion of the plate; positioning the form to receive concrete; inserting the first portion in the slot wherein a second portion of the plate is exposed; disposing a sheath on the second portion; pouring a first volume of concrete on the form and the sheath; and curing the first volume of concrete and defining a first slab. An embodiment configured according to principles of the invention of a method of forming concrete includes providing a form configured to secure a sheath thereto, thereby orienting an exterior of the sheath for contacting concrete when poured thereon; positioning the form to receive concrete; securing the sheath to the form; pouring a first volume of concrete on the form and the exterior; and curing the first volume of concrete and defining a first slab.

US Classification:

052741100

Abstract:

An embodiment configured according to principles of the invention includes a plate defining a hexagon having a base parallel with joint between concrete slabs. Another embodiment includes a hexagon-shaped plate having an elastomer-coated first portion and a second portion, and a form having a slot configured to closely receive the second portion. A further embodiment includes a plate having compressive and/or resilient edge banding disposed on a plate edge that is not parallel to the joint. Apparatuses and methods for retro-fitting existing concrete stabs for transferring a load with a new adjacent concrete slab also are disclosed.

Abstract:

Disclosed is a radiant barrier including a first reflective layer, a second reflective layer and a support interposed therebetween. The reflective layers and the support essentially do not define a pocket. The support has sufficient rigidity such that, when bowed, said support develops an outward force that is sufficient to maintain the radiant barrier in an installed position, for example between roofing rafters.

Abstract:

Protection barriers, such as floor protection barriers, and methods for making and using same. The protection barrier can include a base sheet and an energy absorbing layer. The base sheet can have two or more paperboard layers and one or more sizing layers. A first paperboard layer can form a first surface of the base sheet, a second paperboard layer can form a second surface of the base sheet, and the one or more sizing layers can be disposed between the first and second paperboard layers. The energy absorbing layer can be secured to the second paperboard layer.
