First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- placing a quantity of plastic concrete on a horizontal concrete forming deck comprising;
a first concrete forming panel having a first primary surface adapted for forming and contacting plastic concrete and a second primary surface opposite the first primary surface;
a first layer of insulating material contacting and substantially covering the second primary surface of the first concrete forming panel; and
a second panel contacting and substantially covering the first layer of insulating material; and
a plurality of deck support members extending transversely with respect to the second primary surface of the first concrete forming panel, wherein the first primary surface of the first concrete forming panel defines a plane and wherein no portion of each of the deck support members is in the plane;
substantially covering the quantity of plastic concrete with a second layer of insulating material; and
leaving the second layer of insulating material on the quantity of plastic concrete for a time sufficient for the quantity of plastic concrete to at least partially cure.

Abstract
The invention comprises a flying table concrete form. The flying table concrete form comprises a concrete forming deck comprising a first concrete forming panel having a first primary surface adapted for forming and contacting plastic concrete and a second primary surface opposite the first primary surface, a layer of insulating material contacting and substantially covering the second primary surface of the first concrete forming panel, and a second panel contacting and substantially covering the layer of insulating material. The flying table concrete form also comprises a plurality of deck support members extending transversely with respect to the second panel, wherein the first concrete forming panel defines a plane and wherein no portion of the deck support members are in the plane defined by the first concrete forming panel. A method of using the flying table concrete form is also disclosed.

14. A method comprising:
-
placing a quantity of plastic concrete on a horizontal concrete forming deck comprising; an insulated panel comprising; a first panel of wood or plywood having a first primary surface and an opposite second primary surface, wherein the first panel contacts the plastic concrete; a first layer of polymeric foam insulating material contacting the second primary surface of the first panel, wherein the first layer of polymeric foam insulating material has an R-value of greater than 4; and a plurality of deck support members extending transversely with respect to the second primary surface of the first concrete forming panel, wherein the first primary surface of the first concrete forming panel defines a plane and wherein no portion of each of the deck support members is in the plane; substantially covering the quantity of plastic concrete with a second layer of insulating material, wherein the second layer of insulating material has an R-value of greater than 1.5; and leaving the second layer of insulating material on the quantity of plastic concrete for a time sufficient for the quantity of plastic concrete to at least partially cure. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
