Abstract
Abstract A method of forming a composite building construction in which, an angular flap piece, having a first portion and a second portion separated by a tractable bend line, is partially embedded in a slab. A hardenable fluid material is poured around the first portion and against the second portion so that upon solidifying the fluid material forms the slab in which the first portion is embedded and with which the second portion maintains a contact and subsequently the second portion is peeled away from the slab by bending the flap piece at the bend line so as to fashion a transverse reinforcement for the slab.
