Abstract:
A static mold for casting a building footing and building wall monolithically from cementitious material using a removable footing form and a foamed resin wall form permanently retained as a part of said building wall and footing monolith in combination, said foamed resin wall form comprising:first and second major interior surfaces spaced apart from and facing each other between which said cementitious material is poured;first and second major exterior surfaces;a base having first and second minor surfaces;said footing form comprising:first and second footing mold walls, each having a first end, a base extending from said first end longitudinally to a second end along a first longitudinally extending edge, and a top spaced transversely from said base along a second longitudinally extending edge;a spacer separating said first and second footing mold walls from each other and thereby forming an open space therebetween for said cementitious material;a first support having a surface extending from said first footing mold wall towards said second footing mold wall and extending longitudinally along said first footing mold wall for vertically supporting said first minor surface of said foamed resin wall form, and having a first support spacer that maintains a gap between said first minor surface of said foamed resin wall form and said cementitious material that is larger adjacent said footing mold walls and smaller distal to said footing mold walls to facilitate separation of said footing form from said foamed resin wall form and said cementitious material; anda second support having a surface extending from said second footing mold wall towards said first footing mold wall and extending longitudinally along said second footing mold wall for vertically supporting said second minor surface of said foamed resin wall form, and having a second support spacer that maintains a gap between said first minor surface of said foamed resin wall form and said cementitious material that is larger adjacent said footing mold walls and smaller distal to said footing mold walls to facilitate separation of said footing form from said foamed resin wall form and said cementitious material;said foamed resin wall form further supported horizontally and transverse to said longitudinally extending edge by interaction between said first footing mold wall, said second footing mold wall and said first and second major exterior surfaces;said support separable from said cementitious material and said foamed resin wall form subsequent to a curing of said cementitious material without disrupting either said cementitious material or said foamed resin wall form.
