Concrete Form

Abstract

A panel made of concrete-retaining mesh or lath is covered with concrete to form a fault-line defining the boundaries of a foundation break block.

1 . A panel for use in pouring concrete, comprising:
 a plurality of generally upright reinforcing members, each having a central bend;   a first mesh attached to the reinforcing members panels to receive support therefrom;   a second mesh a attached to the reinforcing members panels to receive support therefrom;   the first and second mesh being attached to the reinforcing members in such a manner as to present a gap between the first and second mesh,   the gap being proximate to the central bends of the reinforcing members; and   a wiper disposed in the gap.   
     
     
         2 . The panel of  claim 1 , further comprising means for hanging the wiper in the gap. 
     
     
         3 . The panel of  claim 1  encased in concrete. 
     
     
         4 . The panel of  claim 3  including a fracture in the concrete proximate the panel. 
     
     
         5 . A wall assembly made of a plurality of the panels of  claim 1 . 
     
     
         6 . A break block at least partially bounded by the panels of  claim 1 . 
     
     
         7 . A method of pouring concrete comprising the steps of:
 forming a network of rebar;   incorporating into the network of rebar a wall assembly formed of a plurality of the panels of  claim 1  to form a break block; and   pouring concrete to cover the wall assembly.
