Fresh concrete filling height is difficult to monitor in formwork where direct observation is limited. This study develops a contact-activated U-shaped carbon nanotube/epoxy (CNT/EP) composite sensor for real-time monitoring of this height. Its heigh...
A full-scale field investigation was performed to evaluate the lateral pressure exerted by fresh concrete on a 6.67 m-high single-sided wall formwork during on-site casting. Five embedded pressure sensors were installed at various elevations to enabl...
As the most comprehensive document types for the recording and display of real-world information regarding construction projects, 3D realistic models are capable of recording and displaying simultaneously textures and geometric shapes in the same 3D...
The concrete formwork process is a critical component of construction project control because failing to gain the necessary concrete strength can lead to reworks and, consequently, project delays and cost overruns during the project’s execution...
This paper verifies a method for fabricating concrete formwork with free-form curved surfaces by utilizing the bending deformation of an upper wooden plate supported by computer-controlled vertical actuators. In this study, a system was developed to...
Although accurately estimating the early age compressive strength of concrete is essential for the timely removal of formwork and the advancement of construction processes, it is challenging to estimate it in cool, cold, hot, or unmanaged conditions....
Mastering construction times is of paramount importance in making vernacular earth construction techniques attractive to modern clients. The work presented here is a contribution towards the optimization of the construction time of cob buildings. The...
Driven by progress in sensor technology, computer software and data processing capabilities, terrestrial laser scanning has recently proved a revolutionary technique for high accuracy, 3D mapping and documentation of physical scenarios and man-made s...
The application of Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) materials in rehabilitating bridges and constructing primary bridge components is increasing rapidly across the world because of their superior strength and durability characteristics when com...
Automated vision-based sensing for personal protective equipment (PPE) compliance in high-formwork support system (HFSS) construction environments faces three compounding challenges: extreme within-image scale variation, dense scaffold occlusions, an...
