Working group meeting F+P at TU Chemnitz

10/26/2020 The first physical meeting of the working group "Systems and concepts of production"

  1. took place on 7th of October 2020 in Chemnitz. Thanks to the organization of Prof. Gelbrich and her team, we were able to have a lively exchange under strict hygiene measures. Besides the presentations of the current status of the single subprojects, a common glossary was approved and the subprojects were structured with respect to their technical and scientific content. The participants were divided into a production-oriented and a structural component-oriented group in which technical discussions and common (sub-) goals were defined. At the end of the meeting, the production of fresh-in-fresh concrete facade elements by means of concrete spraying and concrete printing was demonstrated.

Working Group Meeting "Digital Models“

08/04/2020 The meeting of the working group "Digital Models" took place on August 4th 2020 as a video conference. Essential contents were the joint developments of goals and tasks of the group. Therefore, the participants used a digital whiteboard on which everyone could work on goals and necessary methods simultaneously. Afterwards, acquired synergies and topic areas were brought together and were assigned to the different projects. The meeting was framed by a presentation of Dr.-Ing. Mario Wolf (Digital Engineering Chair, Ruhr University Bochum) on the topic "The administrative shell in the reference architecture model Industry 4.0".

Career development & equal opportunities

08/11/2020 DFG-funded collaborative projects in cooperation with the Department of Organizational and Human Resources Development at the Ruhr University Bochum developed the series „Career development & equal opportunities“. The events in this series serve to promote career development and gender awareness among young researchers. The SPP 2187 is part of the concept. The researchers of our priority program are cordially invited to participate in the events.

Web meeting of the working group "Systems and concepts of production"

07/07/2020 The working group "Systems and concepts of production" met in a web conference on July 7th 2020 to discuss its internal organization and its interfaces with the other working groups. The main toppics of the meeting were the thematic structuring of the working group as well as the interaction between the subprojects. In addition, a glossary for unified definitions of terms is being compiled by all participants, which will be successively expanded. In future regular online meetings, problems of individual sub-projects will be discussed on the basis of short impulse lectures.

Online meeting of the "Design and detailing" working group

07/02/2020 On July 2nd 2020, a web meeting of the working group "Design and detailing" took place. The meeting was opened by a keynote lecture given by Prof. Dr.-Ing. M.Arch. Lucio Blandini (Werner Sobek AG) on the topic "Kuwait International Airport Terminal 2 - Design and construction". He explained the realization of the shell structure of the newly built Airport Terminal 2 in Kuwait to the researchers. Among other things, it consists of a total of approx. 37,000 hybrid, adaptive steel-concrete modules. The presentation was well received by the participants and linked to the topics of the working group. In the working group the common goals and interfaces were discussed both within and between the other working groups. In short presentations of the projects, first synergies and suggestions for possible interactions were identified.

Kick-off meeting

03/02/2020 On 27th and 28th of February 2020, the kick-off event of the DFG-funded priority program "Adaptive modularized constructions made in flux" took place in the event centre of the Ruhr-University Bochum. About 60 researchers from the disciplines of structural engineering, industrial manufacturing, construction informatics, control engineering and mathematics came together. Important contents were the presentations on the 13 subprojects, the initiation of working groups and various organisational arrangements.

Guest article in the DBV circular

12/15/2019 Circular 263 (December 2019) of the Deutscher Beton- und Bautechnik-Verein e.V. (DBV) has been published, in which the contents and objectives of the SPP as well as the participating institutes are presented in a guest article entitled "Faster construction through intelligent prefabrication - the priority program 2187".

SPP at Deutscher Bautechnik-Tag

03/19/2019 Within the framework of the Deutscher Bautechnik-Tag in Stuttgart (07.03. & 08.03.2019), Prof. Mark gave a keynote speech on the objectives of the priority program in the so-called Arena. The ideas of a fast construction method with building structures made of adaptive individual modules produced in flow production met with great interest among the more than 1,500 participants from the construction industry, research and administrative institutions and engineering offices. The program is scheduled to start at the end of 2019.

Summer School „Line Geometry for Lightweight structures“ at TU Dresden

07/10/2018 From the 10th to the 28th of September 2018, the Working Group Geometric Modelling and Visualisation of the TU Dresden will organise the Summer School "Line Geometry for Lightweight Structures" (LGLS). In interdisciplinary projects with international participants and speakers, the Summer School communicates current research from the SPP 1542 (Lightweight Structures with Concrete) and on the topic of robot technology in civil engineering.
