Abstract

This article describes the development of a new method for construction robotization of building superstructures built of large and heavy materials. It also highlights some examples of how the T-UP System has been used in superstructure construction. The article can be of great interest to civil engineers and researchers dealing with construction systems.

Summary

The article headlined “Totally Mechanized Construction System for High-Rise Buildings (T-UP System)” is written by S. Sakamoto, H. Mitsuoka. It’s taken from the scientific magazine “Construction and Building Materials” (on the website http://www.journals.elsevier.com/).

In the first part the author points out that to totally mechanize construction work in building production, particularly through the introduction of robots, construction methods must be developed. In developing new construction methods, the characteristics of construction machinery must be carefully considered, and new machines and materials must be developed. The emphasis is made on mechanized construction that is most effective in the construction of building superstructures built of large and heavy materials.

The second part is devoted to transportation and assembly. The author states that to maximize the efficiency of mechanized construction, a continuous cycle of transportation and assembly with each type of member must be used to build superstructures. Through repetitions of this cycle, it should be possible to build superstructures quickly and without interruption.

In conclusion the author underlines the fact that to develop mechanized construction systems, the machine systems and material systems to be incorporated must be examined, and the configurations of the building components must be systematized and classified.
