Abstract

Recently, the importance of the construction technology of the free-formed buildings is becoming more significant, as the interest and demand for the free-formed buildings are increasing. However, it takes much time and cost during the construction of free-formed buildings because the current construction technique of freeform concrete segments is manufactured by a formwork. Therefore, in this study, we suggested a new manufacturing process based on the LOM-type 3D printer for freeform concrete segments that can shorten construction time and reduce cost when constructing freeform concrete segments, and we also verified the feasibility of production process through mock-up test. The result shows that the suggested process shortened 47.8% of production time and saved 56.2% of cost compared to the existing steel formwork method. In conclusion, it is expected that the production method of freeform concrete segments using 3D printer will contribute to the improvement of productivity of freeform concrete segments construction and the activation of new construction method for free-formed building construction.

최근 비정형 건축물의 관심과 수요가 증가하면서 비정형 건축물 시공기술에 관한 중요도가 높아지고 있다. 그러나 국내의 비정형 콘크리트 부재 시공기술은 거푸집으로 제작하는 것에 많은 시공기간과 공사비용이 소요된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 비정형 콘크리트 부재 생산 시 생산기간을 단축하고 비용을 절감할 수 있는 LOM 방식의 3D 프린터를 이용한 비정형 콘크리트 부재 생산 프로세스를 제시하고, Mock-up test를 통해 생산프로세스의 타당성을 검증하였다. 연구결과, 본 생산 프로세스는 기존 강재 거푸집을 이용한 시공기술 대비 약 47.8% 제작기간 단축 효과와 56.2%의 비용절감 효과가 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과인 3D 프린터를 이용한 비정형 콘크리트 부재 생산 프로세스는 비정형 콘크리트 부재 생산의 생산성 향상을 비롯한 비정형 건축물 시공의 새로운 공법활성화에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
