Insulated fireproof concrete form system
View Patent ↗An insulated fireproof concrete form system. The system includes a pair of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks oriented parallel to each other. A pair of insulating blocks are disposed on a pair of internal surfaces of the pair of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks. The pair of insulating blocks are horizontally staggered relative to the pair of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks. A plurality of rods connects the pair of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks.
1. An insulated fireproof concrete form system, comprising:
a pair of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks oriented entirely parallel and defining a core therebetween;
a pair of insulating blocks disposed on a pair of internal surfaces of the pair of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks;
the pair of insulating blocks being horizontally staggered such that a first end of each insulating block of the pair of insulating blocks extends beyond a first end of each autoclaved aerated concrete block of the pair of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks; and
a plurality of rods connecting the pair of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks, the plurality of rods extending through each insulating block of the pair of insulating blocks, across the core formed thereby, and into the pair of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks.
2. The insulated fireproof concrete form system of claim 1 , wherein the insulating blocks are vertically staggered, such that a top edge of each insulating block of the pair of insulating blocks extends above a top edge of each autoclaved aerated concrete block.
3. The insulated fireproof concrete form system of claim 1 , wherein the pair of insulating blocks are made of an expanded polystyrene material.
4. The insulated fireproof concrete form system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of rods are basalt ties.
5. An insulated fireproof concrete form system, comprising:
a pair of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks oriented entirely parallel and defining a core therebetween;
a pair of insulating blocks disposed on a pair of internal surfaces of the pair of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks;
the pair of insulating blocks being horizontally staggered such that a first end of each insulating block of the pair of insulating blocks extends beyond a first end of each autoclaved aerated concrete block of the pair of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks; and
a plurality of rods connecting the pair of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks, the plurality of rods extending through each insulating block of the pair of insulating blocks, across the core formed thereby, and into the pair of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks;
wherein the plurality of rods is made of a non-conductive material;
wherein the insulating blocks are vertically staggered, such that a top edge of each insulating block of the pair of insulating blocks extends above a top edge of each autoclaved aerated concrete block.
6. The insulated fireproof concrete form system of claim 1 , wherein the core is of a uniform thickness across the entire area of the pair of insulating blocks.
