Description of Work Packages

Explore the architectonic possibilities in digital fabricated concrete structures
Predict the future concrete architecture with new digital fabrication techniques in mind
Provide the project with 3D CAD drawings to be executed

WP leader: Superpool

Select and modify suitable formwork materials and associated formwork for load-bearing structures that can be processed using robot technology (robustness, reusability, environment, costs)
Selection and development/modification of suitable release agents for the TailorCrete formwork materials (surface appearance of concrete, reusability of formwork)

WP leader: Danish Technological Institute

Select reinforcement types
Modification/development of reinforcement processing techniques
Select and validate a technique to monitor the amount and distribution of fibre reinforcement during production of structures on an industrial scale
Identification of possible barriers in codes and standards

WP leader: Chalmers

Develop optimal processing for non standardised formwork suitable for industrialised production
Achieve a high degree of automation in the process of digital fabrication

WP leader: University of Southern Denmark

Review and assessment of the parametric design tools available today
Develop a design system based on the resulting formwork and processing techniques acquired in WP3 and WP5
Implement the developed design system in existing digital design tools

WP leader: ETH Zürich

Obtain tools for planning of the casting process i.e. how to select rheological properties and casting technique for the individual application
Optimise the SCC mix composition targeting the required rheological properties for the individual application

WP leader: Danish Technological Institute

Plan full-scale prototype structures that verifies the methods developed WP1 to WP6
Execute the planned full-scale prototype structures

WP leader: Dragados

Costs: The TailorCrete concept: Production of unique structures at mass customised prices
Sustainability: Evaluation of possible environmental challenges, and overall sustainability of the TailorCrete concept
Safety: Impact of the TailorCrete concept on safety issues

WP leader: Czech Technical University

Do existing standards create barriers for the use of the TailorCrete concept
Which existing EU directives or regulations may serve as “drivers” or barriers for the use of the project results?

WP leader: Danish Technological Institute

To make suitable recommendations for the exploitation of the project results by Consortium members and other relevant external parties
To disseminate results of TailorCrete to the construction sector and the wider public
