Abstract: A method and an apparatus for setting up a concrete form for the subsequent forming of a concrete member therein and for continuously supplying a concrete form with concrete. The apparatus for setting up the concrete form includes a deck brush for cleaning the deck portions of an elongated concrete form, stem brushes for cleaning the stem portions of the concrete form, nozzles for spraying pressurized lubrication fluid onto the form, strand pulling and placing devices for placing reinforcing strands in the stem portions of the concrete form, rams for depressing the strands down into the stem portions after tensioning thereof, and a deck reinforcing material dispensing system which simultaneously straightens and dispenses deck wire onto the deck portion of the concrete form.

Abstract: A side weld plate for joining adjacent concrete slabs together by welding. An elongated body is provided having a body section for embedment in a concrete slab and a flange section for positioning adjacent an edge of the concrete slab. The flange surface provides upon embedment of the body section in the concrete slab, an exposed weld surface which allows for adjacent concrete slabs also having a side weld plate to be welded together.
