Patent ID: 11286667

Abstract:
A plurality of seismic foundation frames are utilized to secure rebar in a fixed location to produce a cementitious supporting form that is embedded in the poured concrete and reinforces the concrete. The frame has an open construction with a plurality of openings to allow the concrete to flow therethrough and to provide increased surface area for reinforcement. The frame has pin openings and rebar openings for receiving and retaining pins or rebar respectively, such as when the frames are stacked. A frame has rebar retainers for retaining rebar that extends perpendicularly to the surface of the frame to a second frame at an offset distance. A flexible containment sleeve is configured around the frames and may be fastened to the frame to create a sleeved form for receiving a cementitious mix. The containment sleeve has apertures for controlled permeation to control the rate of cure of the cementitious mix.
