• <br /> 31 <br /> l I ' 4. Use the guide groove located at the top center of each wall-form to keep vertical <br /> alignment of cells. Every two-foot long wall form has a guide groove at the midpoint. <br /> Be vigilant that this guidegroove lines up with the joints of the wall forms in rows above <br /> and below the guide groove. This alignment ensures that the interior vertical column of <br /> concrete and rebar maintain plumb. If not plumb, the structural integrity of the wall is <br /> compromised. If the joints are not lined up with the guide groove the waliforms must be <br /> cut to bring back in proper alignment. <br /> 5. Every other row of wall forms must be flipped in order for the cut-out channel in the wall <br /> form to create a horizontal beam. Stack the wall forms flat surface to flat surface <br /> followed by notched surface to notched surface for the next course. Remember"Flat to <br /> Flat,Notch to Notch". <br /> 6. Use corner boards as a guide to keep the wall plumb and level. <br /> 7. Tap any protruding wallforms flush using a rubber mallet. Plumb wall sections using <br /> strongback bracing as necessary. <br /> 8. Prior to infilling wall forms with concrete prepare several patch kits for any places in the <br /> wall where a block may crack, allowing cement to ooze out from wall. Have plywood <br /> pieces (2'x 3' or 3' x 4' scraps) and 3" coarse threaded deck screws close for quick <br /> application against any weakened wall section. <br /> 6.0 Lintels <br /> The wallform configuration is capable of performing as a self-contained lintel for a variety of <br /> window and door applications. A review of typical lintel applications is provided(Figures 5),but <br /> a design professional should be consulted for actual construction details. <br /> Typical Lintel Load Capacity <br /> CLEAN SPAN CAPACITY LewN./T.
