Bracket assembly and form side walls for forming concrete structural components
First Claim
1. A system for retaining a flowable and curable building material to form a portion of a foundation of at least a portion of a structure of interest, the system comprising:
- side walls receiving and retaining the building material in a channel bound by the side walls, the side walls disposed in a predetermined configuration suitable for the portion of the foundation, the side walls including a first side wall and a second side wall, at least one of the first side wall and the second side wall defines an interior cavity therein;
a venting conduit disposed within the structure of interest and coupled to the interior cavity to form a first passage; and
a bracket assembly retaining the side walls in the predetermined configuration, the bracket assembly including;
two or more reinforcement posts; and
a separator bar having a first end, a second end opposed from the first end, and a plurality of apertures disposed along a length of the separator bar, the plurality of apertures including a first set of apertures disposed proximate the first end and a second set of apertures disposed proximate the second end, the first set apertures and the second set of apertures are sized to receive and retain a pair of the reinforcement posts at locations to establish a width of the first side wall, a width of the second side wall and a width of the channel being formed therebetween.

Abstract
A system is provided for retaining a flowable and curable building material to form a portion of a foundation of a structure of interest. A first and second side wall receive and retain the building material in a channel bound by the side walls. At least one of the side walls defines an interior cavity. A venting conduit is disposed within the structure of interest and coupled to the interior cavity to form a first passage. A bracket assembly retains the side walls in the predetermined configuration and includes two or more reinforcement posts and a separator bar. The separator bar has a first and second set of apertures proximate a first and second end that are sized to receive and retain a pair of the reinforcement posts at locations to establish a width of the components of the side walls and the channel being formed therebetween.
