摘要:
An insulated concrete wall is constructed by securing at least one tie assembly (14) to a panel (12) of insulative material, securing the tie assembly and panel to a pair of spaced forms (60, 68), and pouring concrete into an open space defined by the forms adjacent the panel. The concrete is then allowed to set, and the forms are removed. The tie assembly (14) includes an elongated tie (16) having a central region (24) adapted to remain in place in the wall subsequent to construction and a pair of opposing end regions (26, 28) adapted to be detached after removal of the forms. In addition, the assembly (14) includes an elongated retainer body (18) formed of heat insulative material and received on the tie (16), and a pair of face plates (20, 22) retained on the body on either side of the panel (12).
摘要:
An attachment element for use with a concrete wall construction that includes a layer of concrete and a layer of an insulative material that is held against a face of the layer of concrete. The attachment element includes an elongated body member having a first portion that is adapted and arranged for embedment in the layer of concrete as the latter hardens and a second portion that is positioned longitudinally of the body member from the first portion. The second portion is adapted and arranged so as to extend outwardly from the face of the concrete and through a closed slot formed in the layer of insulative material. The attachment element also includes an elongated face plate that is attached to the second portion of the body member adjacent an outer end of the latter. The face plate is positioned so as to extend transversely of the body member and the same is adapted and arranged at the outer surface of the layer of insulative material in a position to extend laterally outwardly away from the body member and across the outer surface beyond the periphery of the slot. The entirety of the attachment element other than the face plate is small enough in size to permit insertion thereof through the slot during use.
