“Advanced Construction and Building Technology for Society” Proceedings of the CIBW119 CIC 2012 Workshop “Advanced Construction and Building Technology for Society” Editors: Thomas Bock (Prof. Prof. h. c./SRSTU Dr.-Ing./Univ.Tokio) Christos Georgoulas (Dr.-Ing.) Thomas Linner (Dipl.-Ing.) 24 Oct 2012 Laboratory of Building Realization and Robotics (br)2 Technische Universität München (TUM), Germany Foreword CIB Working Commission, W119 on “Customized Industrial Construction” has been established as the successor of former TG57 on Industrialization in Construction and as a joint CIB-IAARC Commission. Prof Dr Ing Gerhard Girmscheid, ETH Zurich, Switzerland (Coordinator of the former TG57) and Prof Dr Ing Thomas Bock, Technische Universität München, Germany are the appointed Coordinators of this Working Commission. The workshop is hosted by the Chair for Building Realization and Robotics located at TUM within the Bavarian high tech cluster, the Master of Science Course “Advanced Construction and Building Technology” and by IAARC-Academy representing the research training program of the International Association for Automation and Robotics in Construction (IAARC). The workshop will concentrates international researchers, practitioners and selected top-students coming from 8 different professional backgrounds (Architecture, Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Business Science, Interior Design, Informatics, Mechanical Engineering). Industrialization in Construction will become more customer oriented. Systems for adaptable manufacturing and robot technologies will merge the best aspects of industrialization and automation with aspects of traditional manufacturing. Concepts of mass customization can be implemented via the application of robots in construction and building project/product life cycle as prefabrication processes, on site and in service as socio technical systems. Topics include, but are not limited to the following aspects of Automation and Robotics in Construction: Industrialized Customization in Architecture: Mass Customization off site, Factory Production, Logistics and Factory Networks, Production Logistics/ Site Automation and Robotics: Mass Customization on site, Site Automation, Site Robotics, Site Logistics for Automation, Systems and Technologies, Automation and Robot oriented Site Management Service Science through Automation and Robotics: Mass Customization of performance oriented environments, Automation and Robotic Assisted Living, Service Robotics, Personal Assistance, Demographic change design and management of socio technical systems by human ambient technologies in daily life especially for aging society. Automation and Robot Oriented Design: Design and Buildings Structures Enabling efficient use of Automation and Robotics, Modularization, Product Structure, Building Information Modeling Automation and Robotics Deployment Strategies: Innovative business processes, automation and robot oriented management, human-machine communication, socio technical aspects, socioeconomic aspects, history of automation and robotics Due to insufficient number of submissions, the current CIBW119CIC Workshop has been postponed for next year (2013). The included submissions in this set of Proceedings comprise contribution of the 2011 MSc ACBT students, which are going to be orally presented to the new academic year (2012-2013) MSc ACBT students. We would like to inform you that the call for the next official CIBW119 Workshop will be made in March 2013, hopefully to obtain a greater number of submissions in order to successfully host the event.

This industrialization introduces the mass production concept along with other strategies like mass distribution, mass marketing and mass media1. Mass production covered most industries in our life and one of the newsiest industries which adopt mass pro- duction strategy is building construction industry. However, a combination of advances in information and technology (Robotics and advanced equipment ) is making the production increasingly possible to mass customize - to rapidly re- spond to consumers with customized products at mass-production prices2. Mass customization in prefabricated building construction industry is a new strong tool based on integrating organizational structure over the whole value chain corre- sponding with information flows between enterprises product, machinery, robots, customer and all complementary sub- processes3 but in the other hand this mass customization should be controlled by some guidelines depending on some aspects like the type of building (wood, brick or concrete ), architectural aspect, location and climate where the products are targeted. Method By studying and analyzing the different types of prefabricated building construction methods (linear production, 2D production, 3D production ) which apply the principle of mass customization production the author pre- sents the degree of customization for each method, the type of relationship between the factory and the customer and the rules which control this relation. Results & Discussion After studying and analyzing those methods of prefabricated construction and the relationship between the customer and the factory, the author considers a set of general guidelines for building design should be adopted as standards in building mass production industry according to all the data and information acquired in this research and with the respect of architectural and civil engineering standards in

C24 (characteristic value of concrete, 24 MPa) was used in the experiment conducted. Ordinary Portland cement (OPC), high fineness and SO3 OPC (HFS_OPC), and Early Portland cement (EPC) were selected as the study materials. The unit weights of cement were set to OPC 330, 350, and 380. Further, a concrete mixture was prepared with a triethanolamine (TEA)-based chemical admixture to HFS. A raw material analysis was conducted, and the compressive strength, temperature history, and maturity (D h) were examined. Then, the vertical formwork removal time was evaluated · according to the criterion of each country.

Veronika Ondryášová AUTHOR VEDOUCÍ PRÁCE prof. Ing. RUDOLF HELA, CSc. SUPERVISOR BRNO 2018 1 2 3 Abstrakt Diplomová práce se zaměřuje na problematiku vlivu vlastností vstupních surovin pro výrobu kvalitních povrchů architektonických betonů. V úvodní části je popsána definice architektonického betonu a také výhody a nevýhody jeho realizace. V dalších kapitolách jsou uvedeny charakteristiky, dávkování či chemické složení vstupních materiálů. Kromě návrhu receptury je důležitým parametrem pro vytvoření kvalitního povrchu betonu zhutňování, precizní uložení do bednění a následné ošetřování povrchu. Popsány jsou také jednotlivé druhy architektonických betonů, jejich způsob vyrábění s uvedenými příklady na konkrétních realizovaných stavbách. V praktické části byly navrženy 4 receptury, kde se měnil druh nebo dávkování vstupních surovin. Při tvorbě receptur byl důraz kladen především na minimální segregaci čerstvého betonu a omezení vzniku pórů na povrchu ztvrdlého betonu. Klíčová slova Architektonický beton, vstupní suroviny, bednění, separační prostředky, cement, přísady, pigment. Abstract This diploma thesis focuses on the influence of properties of feedstocks for the production of quality surfaces of architectural concrete. The introductory part describes the definition of architectural concrete with the advantages and disadvantages of its implementation. In the following chapters, the characteristics, the dosage or the chemical composition of the input materials are given. Besides the design of the mixture, important parameters for the creation of a quality surface of concrete are compaction, precise placement in formwork and subsequent treatment of the surface.
