Form assembly for concrete slabs and methods of assembling same
A form assembly includes an outer frame having a predefined shape. The frame includes at least two segments that are coupled together at a coupling portion. Each segment includes a first flange and a second flange positioned a predefined distance from the first flange. The first flange includes openings that extend substantially therethrough and the second flange includes openings that extend substantially therethrough and that are substantially concentrically aligned with the first flange openings. A lifting apparatus is positioned in a location that is bounded by the frame. Rebar members are coupled to the frame such that at least a portion of one of the rebar members is positioned within one first and second flange openings. At least four rebar segments are coupled to the lifting apparatus such that the rebar segments define an X-shape within the form assembly to facilitate maintaining the frame in the predefined shape.
