Abstract
A transition system for concrete forms includes a first concrete-forming panel having a first thickness and arranged to receive a first attachment mechanism, a second concrete-forming panel having a second thickness greater than the first thickness and arranged to receive a second attachment mechanism, and a transition strip sized for placement between the first and second concrete-forming panels. The transition strip includes a first side edge sized to match the first thickness and arranged to receive the first attachment mechanism, a second side edge sized to match the second thickness and arranged to receive the second attachment mechanism, a skin extending between the first and second side edges and arranged to cooperate with the first concrete-forming panel and the second concrete-forming panel to form a generally uninterrupted concrete-forming surface, and a plurality of stiffeners extending between the first side edge and the second side edge.
