Thin-section fiber reinforced concrete and ferrocement. A study on digital design process of the materialization of free form design architecture, in 2009 Autumn Annual Conference of the Architectural Institute of Korea 29(1): 221–224.ĭaniel, J. Keyword : free-form, concrete panel, subordinate vertex, offset geometry, quality connectionīae, K. This paper academically contributes to the automatic creation of joint details of FCPs implemented by BIM. The developed mathematical solutions practically support the production of FCPs with precise installation to ensure aesthetic quality of the building. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to develop a solution of subordinate vertices for quality connections of external free-form concrete panels. However, it is difficult to calculate offset geometry easily and quickly, and no research has been conducted on this topic. When producing free-form concrete panel (FCP) using materials such as GFRC (glass fiber reinforced concrete), engineers or manufacturers should precisely calculate the offset value or geometry of each member at the junction point of three or more FCPs before it is constructed.
3D-designs of free-form buildings are developed using a computer due to difficulty of shape implementation.
