Abstract: A load transmitting device for use in transmitting load from a tie rod to a beam used as a support for a concrete casting formwork, has a bridging member which bridges between adjacent lateral flanges of the beam, and restraint means acting between the bridging member and a surface of the beam facing oppositely to the flange surfaces bridged by said member, in such a manner as to resist bending of the flanges engaged by the bridging member as a result of bending force applied to the bridging member by the tie rod loading the flanges at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the beam.

Abstract: A formwork panel is formed from metal longitudinal members and metal transverse members interconnected by devices such as screws to form a dismountable formwork panel. The panels may be interconnected by other connector devices to form larger composite panels of various sizes and shapes. The panels may be formed from a kit of parts for easy assembly and disassembly at a construction site.
