ABSTRACT:
A system for constructing concrete culverts is disclosed wherein reusable outer form and rebar supporting assemblies are set in place in an excavation and are used to form outer portions of the floor and outer walls of the culvert. Forming the outer walls of the culvert is facilitated by anchoring the lower regions of the form assemblies in the outer region of the floor as it is being poured by means of concrete anchors, which remain set in the concrete but are removable from the form assemblies. As a particular feature of this invention, the form assemblies are each provided with a protective wall spaced from the form assembly and adjacent walls of the excavation, forming a protective space where workers may work while being protected from collapse of walls of the excavation. As a further feature of this invention, a rebar supporting apparatus is disclosed as constructed of an L-shaped plate disposed for being fixed to timbers forming a riser for an inner wall of the culvert, with a vertical support provided with ledges or lips at a selected spacing to support the horizontal rebar for the interior wall, and which in turn are used to support vertical sections of the rebar positioned to be embedded in the riser. As yet another feature of this invention, an adjustable cable assembly is disclosed for anchoring top regions of the form assemblies together for pouring the outer walls, while the lower regions of the walls are anchored as described.
