Crack Evaluation in Double-Curved Concrete Elements

A new architectural concept is being developed nowadays - free-form design, which allows the architects to add personality to a building through the shape itself. To sustain this development, the existing and available production techniques have to be combined with new technological innovations. The flexible mould system uses the traditional...

Flexible mould for production of double-curved concrete elements

This thesis focuses on the consequences of deforming a flexible mould surface. Based on the findings a new mould design was developed in order research the deformation of the mould. Also a method was developed to obtain an accurate geometry of the mould surface.
