Automated and Reusable Concrete Prefabrication
Concrete prefabrication is evolving through digitalisation and automation. Traditional methods often underutilize the material, resulting in environmental impact and inefficiencies. This research focuses on integrating architectural design, segmentation, automated production, and component reuse to enhance sustainability while maintaining structural performance. Digital Architectural Design and Structural Optimisation Modern workflows begin with digital architectural design, enabling precise planning of concrete elements. Structural optimisation algorithms allow components to meet performance requirements while minimizing material usage. This step ensures that each element is designed efficiently before production. Segmentation and Automated Optimisation Large-scale concrete components are segmented digitally to optimize production and handling. Automated optimisation ensures each segment maintains load-bearing capacity while reducing material waste. This integration bridges desi...
