Abstract:
An apparatus for installation of paving materials has a screed that is configured to extend across a gap between first and second forms, wherein the first and second forms are piecewise parallel with respect to each other. The screed has at least a first section that is coupled to a second section. The screed has a first height adjusting member with a first seat surface for slidable contact along the first form and a second height adjusting member with a second seat surface for slidable contact along the second form. The first and second height adjusting members are adjustable to set the height and angle of the at least first and second sections of the screed within the gap.
Abstract:
A method produces a composite material using a mixing system. The composite material comprises at least one aggregate, e.g. rock and/or glass, and the reaction product of a two-component polymeric binder composition comprising a first component, e.g. an isocyanate component, and a second component, e.g. an isocyanate-reactive component. The mixing system includes a mixing apparatus. The method includes the step of providing the aggregate, the first component and the second component into the mixing apparatus. The method further includes the step of mixing the first and second components to produce the reaction product of the two-component polymeric binder composition, and the step of applying the reaction product of the two-component polymeric binder composition to the aggregate within the mixing apparatus to produce the composite material. The composite material can be used for forming a paved structure, such as a sidewalk or a roadway.
Abstract:
A prefabricated mold for construction of a concrete pavement capable of being easily assembled, installed and disassembled and being repeatedly re-used is provided. The prefabricated mold includes coupling segments taperedly installed at both upper and lower ends of the mold to be butt-coupled to each other, fixing rod insertion holes formed through an upper central region of the mold and formed through the coupling segments formed at both sides of the mold, coupling grooves installed in a plural number to protrude from an inner surface of the mold having an internal space formed therein, finishing plates having a plurality of protrusions formed therein to be inserted into the coupling grooves, fixing rod insertion holes formed at the mold having a slope segment installed at a front upper portion thereof by injection-molding the mold using a synthetic resin material, and fixing rods inserted respectively into the fixing rod insertion holes to fix the mold on the ground.
Abstract:
A method for making a reinforced concrete structure and reinforcement agents are provided. In some embodiments, the method includes obtaining a mold for the reinforced concrete structure. A lattice is formed within the mold, where the lattice includes inter-locking ringed fibers and where each inter-locking ringed fiber is a fiber formed into a ringed structure that is inter-locked with at least one neighboring inter-locking ringed fiber in the lattice. The lattice is then encased by filling the mold with concrete. In some embodiments, the reinforcement agents are a plurality of ringed fiber-structures, each of which is coiled into a ringed structure that may or may not inter-lock with at least one neighboring ringed fiber(s)-structure.

Abstract:
The concrete form is a structure having a user-selectable shape allowing for the creation of an opening in a concrete surface, such as a concrete patio, with the opening having the user-selectable shape. The form includes a plurality of wall members, which are joined together to form a closed continuous wall having the user-selectable shape. The wall members are each secured to the ground, and the user pours liquid concrete on the ground exterior to the closed continuous wall. The closed continuous wall defines the opening and prevents flow of the liquid concrete within the opening. Following hardening of the concrete, the form may be removed, leaving an opening in the concrete surface, having the user-selectable shape, in which the user may plant flora and the like.
Abstract:
A concrete forming system including an elongated member for extending from an exterior portion of the forming system to an interior portion of the forming system whereby the concrete or other pourable formable material exerts pressure on the interior portion of the elongated member and secures it with respect to the form members. A slidable member fits onto the exterior portion of the elongated member, the elongated member and the slidable member are secured to one another through perforations provided in both and through use of a securing pin to hold them rigid with respect to the formed border.
