The most well known usage of concrete

Page 3: TailorCrete The start of a minor revolution in the construction industry

Liquid stone – design freedom not for everyday use

Page 4: TailorCrete The start of a minor revolution in the construction industry

Challenges - formwork

Page 5: TailorCrete The start of a minor revolution in the construction industry

Challenges - reinforcement

New possibilities with Self compacting concrete (SCC)

Page 7: TailorCrete The start of a minor revolution in the construction industry

New possibilities with robots

The main goal of TailorCrete is to develop and demonstrate an industrialised process for producing unique, tailor-made structures using a radically new

and cost effective approach =production of singular TailorMade concrete

structures at mass production costs.

The concept involves both on-site and pre-fabricated elements and both load-carrying and

facade elements.

A new bridge Oparno on the Prague – Dresden highway

Bridge under construction (2008-2010)

Arch span 135 m Budget ~20 mil. €

Optimal position of cooling pipes

Arch casting continues through the whole year – varying temperature Massive casted arch segments could attain temperature over 90oC during

summer which is unacceptable 12 cooling pipes inserted in the arch Two criteria

Temperature bellow 70oC (possible delayed ettringite formation)Reasonable stress field and temperature gradients
