Concrete forming panel with flexible barrier
First Claim
1. A concrete forming panel for use in construction of a self-sustaining concrete structure from a concrete mix containing flowable constituents which are capable of migrating from a concrete pour during curing of the mix, said forming panel comprising:
- a load-bearing face plate having a front face adapted to receive at least a part of the concrete pour thereagainst during curing of the mix;
structure projecting rearwardly from said face plate; and
a flexible barrier element mounted on said structure in spaced relationship to said front face for impeding migration of the constituents out of the pour past the barrier element until the concrete mix has cured.

Abstract
A forming panel and method for using the same in construction of self-sustaining concrete wall structures is provided wherein a flexible barrier element is provided along a margin on the forming panel for impeding the flow of water and fine particles of a concrete mix pour past the barrier element. The margin may be along the perimeter edge of the forming panel or along an opening interior to the perimeter of the forming panel. When located near the perimeter, the flexible barrier element may be positioned in a slot extending parallel to the margin and located in the frame. When located near an interior opening, the barrier element may be provided on a reinforcing member positioned around the opening or on a door which shifts to improve access through the opening during placement of forming ties or the like. The forming panel may be coupled with adjacent forming members to provide a wall system, and two wall systems may be connected by forming ties to provide a channel for receipt of a concrete pour therebetween.
