Abstract: A forming system includes a frame and two forming walls. The two forming walls are positioned at a distance from each other to define a first vertical wall course. One forming wall is supported by the frame such that the one forming wall can be translated toward or away from the respective other forming wall. The frame can be raised to raise the two forming walls to be positioned to pour a second vertical course on top of the first vertical course. The translation of the one forming wall allows for the pouring of the first vertical course with horizontally extending rebar that extends through the one forming wall outside of the first vertical wall course, to tie in to a subsequently poured floor slab. The translation permits the vertical raising of the one forming wall, without striking the extending rebar, to pour the second vertical course on the first vertical course. A worker's platform is provided that is supported by the frame and vertically movable by raising the frame.

Abstract: A stripping corner for an inside form, such as for forming the inside corner of an elevator core in building construction for pouring concrete, is provided that includes a powered actuator that forcibly collapses the perimeter of the inside form, particularly the inside corners of the form, to allow displacement of the inside form from the formed concrete surface to strip the inside form from the concrete.
