  • Patent number: 4824350
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sliding shuttering system for producing concrete structure walls, particularly for conical and/or sloping reinforced concrete structures with annularly closed, varying cross-sections. Especially in the case of sloping structures with upwardly diverging wall regions, the hitherto known sliding shuttering systems can only be used to a limited extent with regards stability and security. In order to be able to perform a sliding process even in the case of extreme structure configurations, the support is made rigid and is mounted on angularly adjustable piles, at least one of the pairwise associated piles being fixed to the support to prevent horizontal shifting.

  • Patent number: 4804320
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sliding process for producing concrete structure walls and a sliding shuttering means for erecting or installing monolithic block brackets, praticularly in the case of annular structures. In order to permit a continuous installation of block brackets in the case of a favorable force transfer between the structure wall and the sliding shuttering, the invention provides for the integration into the sliding shuttering of shuttering forms which are substantially complimentary to the block brackets to be installed. In height regions without block brackets, the shuttering form is terminated in aligned manner on the wall side of the structure and is opened on reaching the height level of the block bracket to be installed. After providing the block bracket, on raising the sliding shuttering, the shuttering form is again closed at the top height level of the block bracket.
