Abstract
The described Concrete Form Brace With Multi-Depth Rebar Positioning is comprised of opposing attachment members, which secure the brace to the concrete form elements. The attachment members have a first top end, and a second bottom end. The corresponding bottom ends of the attachment members are connected by a spanning element, which spans the width of the concrete form. The attachment members and spanning element are further connected by a plurality of reinforcing struts. Rebar attachment means at multiple vertical depths within the concrete form are integrated or connected to the reinforcing struts to provide rebar securement means at multiple depths within the poured concrete. The preferred embodiment also features vertical spacing between horizontally placed rebar to accommodate “L” shaped vertical rebar placement for applications where vertical rebar is specified.
