ABSTRACT:
A forming system for construction includes thin shell concrete block elements and connecting tie members which can be assembled into forms of various shapes and sizes to receive poured concrete. The block elements are dimensioned and configured to be produced in a standard concrete block machine mold, and include alternating dovetail-shaped grooves for receiving connecting tie members and tapered grooves for breaking the vacuum between the block elements and the mold, all of the grooves being parallel to permit the blocks to be slid out of the mold. The tie members have dovetail-shaped end portions received in the dovetail grooves and a plurality of apertures which can receive a stop member to support the tie member to project a selected distance above the block elements and serve as guides for the next course of elements. The wall system is held together by a top plate bearing on the top course of block elements and anchored directly to the foundation with flexible, coilable cables. Other tie members are configured to secure the block elements to existing structures, and still others are designed to hold the block elements against earth or other fill material to define a retaining wall.
