Abstract: A plurality of seismic foundation frames are utilized to secure rebar in a fixed location to produce a cementitious supporting form that is embedded in the poured concrete and reinforces the concrete. The frame has an open construction with a plurality of openings to allow the concrete to flow therethrough and to provide increased surface area for reinforcement. The frame has pin openings and rebar openings for receiving and retaining pins or rebar respectively, such as when the frames are stacked. A frame has rebar retainers for retaining rebar that extends perpendicularly to the surface of the frame to a second frame at an offset distance. A flexible containment sleeve is configured around the frames and may be fastened to the frame to create a sleeved form for receiving a cementitious mix. The containment sleeve has apertures for controlled permeation to control the rate of cure of the cementitious mix.
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for an automated reinforced concrete construction system for onsite slip-form molding and casting a variety of cementitious mixes in a cast in place leave in place externally moldable flexible reinforced containment sleeve providing a wide variety of interchangeable full-scale molding configurations simultaneously optimizing a wide variety of cementitious mix curing characteristics, further having optional internal reinforcement net(s), for layer wise interlocking additive printed brick deposition providing improved slip-form mold casting of a wide variety of reinforced concrete structures; the present invention further includes a variety of operating platforms suitable for on and offsite construction as disclosed herein.
