Insulated wall assembly

Abstract

A concrete form panel has a plurality of studs. A first and second panel are fastened to the studs to define concrete receiving cavities between the first panel and the second panel. A fastening strip attaches the panels to the stud and is vertically oriented. In addition, a netting may span the studs. An opening extending from panel to panel may create a concrete-to-concrete interface between concrete in the form panel and a concrete footing. A column may be formed in this fashion. Moreover, ports, such as windows and door, may be provided in wall assembly. The assembly may be attached by a truss anchor to a truss for a roof.

1 . A concrete form panel assembly comprising: 
 a frame comprising a plurality of studs;    a first panel and a second panel fastened to said plurality of studs, said first panel and said second panels spanning said plurality of studs to define a concrete receiving cavity between said first panel and said second panel and said plurality of studs; and    a fastening strip oriented vertically against at least one of said first panel and said second panel in alignment with said plurality of studs.    
   
   
       2 . The insulated concrete form panel assembly of  claim 1  wherein said fastening strip attaches said at least one of said first panel and said second panel to a stud of said plurality of studs.  
   
   
       3 . The insulated concrete form panel assembly of  claim 1  wherein said at least one of said first panel and said second panel comprises an insulating panel.  
   
   
       4 . The insulated concrete form panel assembly of  claim 1  wherein said at least one of said first panel and said second panel comprises a cementitious panel.  
   
   
       5 . A concrete form panel assembly comprising: 
 a frame comprising a plurality of studs;    a first panel and a second panel fastened to said plurality of studs, said first panel and said second panel spanning said plurality of studs to define a concrete receiving cavity between said first panel and said second panel and said plurality of studs;    a concrete wall received in said concrete receiving cavity, having a top surface and a bottom surface; and    a concrete body having an exterior surface wherein said exterior surface meets said concrete wall at a concrete interface with one of said top surface and said bottom surface, said concrete interface extending from about said first panel to about said second panel.    
   
   
       6 . The insulated concrete form panel assembly of  claim 5  wherein one of said concrete body and said concrete wall includes a groove for receipt in the other of said concrete body and said concrete wall.  
   
   
       7 . The insulated concrete form panel assembly of  claim 5  wherein said concrete body is filled separately from said concrete wall.  
   
   
       8 . The insulated concrete form panel assembly of  claim 5  wherein said concrete body comprises a footing.  
   
   
       9 . The insulated concrete form panel assembly of  claim 5  including a reinforcing member connecting said concrete wall to said concrete body, said reinforcing member embedded in said concrete wall and said concrete body.  
   
   
       10 . The insulated concrete form panel assembly of  claim 9  wherein said reinforcing member comprises a metal rod.  
   
   
       11 . A concrete form panel assembly comprising: 
 a frame comprising a plurality of studs;    a first panel and a second panel fastened to said plurality of studs, said first panel and said second panel spanning said plurality of studs to define a concrete receiving cavity between said first panel and said second panel and said plurality of studs; and    a netting mounted to said plurality of studs, said netting spanning said plurality of studs.    
   
   
       12 . The insulated concrete wall assembly of  claim 10  wherein said netting comprises a cloth mesh.  
   
   
       13 . The insulated concrete wall assembly of  claim 10  wherein said netting is embedded in at least one of said first panel and said second panel.  
   
   
       14 . The insulated concrete wall assembly of  claim 12  wherein said at least one of said first panel and said second panel comprises a cementitious panel, said netting embedded in said cementitious panel.  
   
   
       15 . The insulated concrete wall assembly of  claim 10  wherein said netting is sandwiched between said plurality of studs and at least one of said first panel and said second panel.
