  • Concrete tie with reusable wedge
    Publication number: 20070235628
    Abstract: An improved tie rod for use in concrete construction is provided. The tie rod has opposing ends, referred to as ears that may be used as wedges in a subsequent concrete construction operation. In a first wall form system, the ears of the tie rod are broken off when the forms are stripped from the cured concrete structure. The ears of the tie rod have tapered shapes enabling them to be used as wedges in a second or subsequent wall form system. The wedges are used with pins that secure abutting edges of adjacent wall form panels.
