Abstract: A panel to be applied to a building comprises a structural support and a concrete wythe located on one side of the support. Brackets are used to attach the wythe to the support, at least one of which permits relative sliding movement between the wythe and support. The one bracket is formed from a pair of overlapping members, one of secured to the wythe and the other of which is secured to the support. The overlapping members are dimensioned to allow relative sliding movement in the plane of the support.

Abstract: An adjustable support bracket assembly is described for supporting a building wallpanel or other heavy article on a vertical support structure, e.g. a column. The assembly includes a pivot pin which is fixed to the vertical support structure, e.g. welded to an inner edge face of a column with a portion of the pin projecting laterally beyond an edge of the column. A substantially horizontal support member is pivotally supported at the inner end thereof on the pivot pin and has a load bearing portion extending outwardly beyond the outer edge of the vertical support structure. This horizontal support member also includes a pivot arm portion projecting upwardly or downwardly from the horizontal portion and having a threaded hole in the pivot are portion remote from the horizontal portion. A threaded bolt is mounted in the threaded hole of the pivot arm and this bolt is adapted to engage the vertical support structure, e.g.

Abstract: A connector assembly is described for concrete structural elements, such as concrete crypt modules for mausoleum structures. The connector assembly includes a top corner member connectable to a concrete structural element with a horizontal top plate extending along the top of the structural element and a vertical edge plate extending down one side of the structural element. The vertical edge plate has an inwardly stepped portion extending downwardly from the top of the structural element and terminating in a horizontal shelf portion and the horizontal top plate has a recess adapted to extend into the concrete. One edge of the recess and the top end of the vertical edge plate have opposed interlock projections. The assembly also includes an interlock plate means having projections for engaging the opposed interlock projections and one edge of the plate means has a downwardly projecting flange terminating above the corner member shelf portion.

Abstract: A closure and seal assembly is described for joining the edges of concrete structural panels. The arrangement comprises three main components, namely a pair of elongated pocket members each adapted to be embedded in a vertical corner of a concrete structural panel and an elongated spline member adapted to connect between the pocket members. Each pocket member has an inner pocket with an elongated opening slot and a pair of resilient sealing strips fixed to the edges of the slot and adapted to extend into the pocket. The spline has a web portion with T-flanges on the side edges thereof with the spline being adapted to be snugly held between the pocket sealing strips and the T-flanges being adapted to be held within the pockets.

Abstract: Concrete form-work includes: (a) an edge beam including an elongated edge plate having a front face and a rear face, a pair of web portions projecting outwardly from said rear face and a flange member joined to the free end of each web portion, each flange member including a plate portion extending outwardly of said web and substantially parallel to said edge plate and a lip portion extending inwardly of the web, (b) a pair of connector members each comprising a plate with a hole for receiving a stake, an off-set wedge-receiving flange at one edge of the plate and a connector flange at the opposite edge of the plate, said connector flange including a J-shaped hook portion for hooking around a said edge beam flange lip and an abutment face for engaging a stake and (c) a wedge member adapted to engage the off-set flanges of said connector member to hold the connector member and force the connector member abutment faces into tight engagement with a stake.
