Frei geformte Betonbauteile: Finden einer Fertigungsmethode

Due to the complexity of the freeform shapes it is often not possible to distinguish any repetitive elements in freeform buildings at all. Most freeform building designs consist of many single or double curved surfaces which require complex shapes for the mould and element edges. Since the costs of the moulds (formwork) for precast concrete make up a significant percentage of the final price per element or per square meter, the feasibility of freeform buildings in precast concrete is still far from optimal. The PhD research carried out at Delft University of Technology, Faculty ofCivil Engineering, aims to improve the applicability of precast concrete through the development of a flexible mould. At the end of the research the design specifications of vital parts of the flexible mould should be described, and supported by theoretical and experimental study as a proof of concept.
