CPW: a rule-based system A is reinforced concrete beam B is a reinforced concrete slab A is connected to B A and B are constructed together If (X is a reinforced concrete beam) AND (Y is a reinforced concrete slab) AND (X is connected to Y) Then (X and Y are constructed together)
Project Leader: Robin Drogemuller (CSIRO) Email: Robin.Drogemuller@csiro.au
A possible construction sequence when reinforced concrete columns, beams and slabs are erected monolithically: • Place column reinforcement • Place column formwork • Erect scaffolding and formwork for beam and slab • Place beam and slab reinforcement • Pour concrete of column, beam and slab Column reinforcement Column formwork Beam and slab formwork Beam and slab reinforcement Column, beam and slab concrete
