Abstract

Disclosed is a modular poured concrete wall system that addresses the needs not optimally met by the prior art, where inexpensive small light interlocking forms are quickly and readily assembled, to produce the desired aesthetically pleasing appearance of a brick wall system. The forms remain in place as part of the final structure and finished surface of the walls. Thus, a footer track assembly is affixed to a standard concrete footer or foundation. Then the modular forms are assembled upon the footer track, stacked together to produce the appearance of a brick wall. As each row or two of forms are assembled, the forms are filled with concrete. Following the concrete pour, additional forms are assembled on the top of the prior forms, to produce additional rows. By repeating this process, the full height of the wall can be quickly reached. The method may include steel rebar, such as for horizontal bond beams and for vertical strength. In an alternative embodiment, curved modular forms may be assembled to produce a circular column, where the exterior surface is finished as a decorative brick appearance.

[0003] Not applicable.FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0004] This invention relates to a system of components and a method of use for creating a concrete wall system.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0005] Conventional masonry walls are typically built of poured concrete or stacked cinder or concrete blocks or bricks. These two types of construction, poured concrete and block, are used additionally for walls in commercial buildings, such as warehouses and hotels, and in residential homes. In preparing concrete walls for structural walls, a support element is needed to retain the concrete while it hardens. The support element conventionally takes the form of wooden form boards and steel bracing to retain the concrete wall as it hardens. The wooden forms are removed from the site once the concrete hardens. Such wooden forms may be...
