Digital Construction Site

Description

Digitale Baustelle

The “Digital Construction Site” stands out as a unique and large-scale research infrastructure, offering an environment to explore digital technologies within authentic construction site conditions. This application-focused and adaptable research facility opens up exceptional new opportunities for investigating the potential of a digital and integrated design and production process. The infrastructure comprises a gantry system featuring a fully-automated mixing plant designed for the 3D printing of 1:1-scale building components. Additionally, it includes a mobile robotic unit for collaborative digital construction processes, along with testing and measurement equipment for on-site material characterization and component analysis. The “Digital Construction Site” is a collaborative effort involving the Institute for Construction Engineering and Management (ibb), the Institute of Geodesy and Photogrammetry (IGP), the Institute of Structural Design (ITE), and the Institute of Building Materials, Concrete Structures and Fire Safety (iBMB).

Description

ebtV
  • Portable, battery-powered, compact net-independent rheometer for fresh concrete
  • Measurement of the fresh concrete's flow resistance
  • Operation in two different modes:
    • P-mode: for the common or vibrated and stiff concretes
    • V-mode: for modern concretes such as self-compacting or self-consolidating concretes, SCC and UHPC
GOM Aramis/Pontos

Description

GOM

By means of digital image correlation, movements and deformations can be captured optically and thereby contact-free, which allows conclusions to be drawn about e.g. strains, stresses and consequently also material characteristics.
