Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system 100 for constructing an insulated thermal mass concrete structure comprising four or more walls 100a, 100b, 100c, 100d. The system 100 comprises interconnected frame members 30, 30?, 30?, 30??, 30*, cross-ties 40 and corner members 33, 33?, which reduces the need for props or stays to support the walls 100a, 100b, 100c, 100d during curing of a concrete core poured between inner and outer layers, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25 attached to the frame members 30, 30?, 30?, 30??, 30*.
Abstract: Disclosed herein is an insulated thermal mass concrete wall (100) constructed using a system (10). The system (10) comprises an outer insulation layer (12) and an inner drywall layer (14) spaced apart from the outer insulation layer. Vertical frame members, formed from several frame member modules (16) that are connected one on top of another, extend between the outer insulation layer (12) and the inner drywall layer (14) to interlock the insulation and drywall layers and maintain a space there between for receiving uncured concrete (18), in which conduits (19) for services can be embedded.
