Fabricating Complexity in Concrete with #iceformwork
ESR9- SIMULATING CONCRETE FORMWORK
AUTHOR: VASILY SITNIKOV
In order to minimize the amount of cement involved in concrete constructions, the concrete industry today chooses to reduce the share of cement in the total mass of concrete. This approach leads to lower mechanical properties of...
#iceformwork – A New Type of Formwork for Ultra-High Performance Concrete
ESR9- SIMULATING CONCRETE FORMWORK
AUTHOR: VASILY SITNIKOV
To increase performance of concrete constructions, concrete industry chooses to reduce the amount of cement in concrete they use. This approach leads to lower mechanical properties of concrete, resulting in thicker floor slabs and...

ESR9- SIMULATING CONCRETE FORMWORK
AUTHOR: VASILY SITNIKOV
Concrete is the most used material in the world. This simple fact preconditions a countless variety of technologies that branch in all thinkable ways from the very basic concept of casting. Besides an ever extending catalog of mixture...
Concrete Technology Advancement
ESR9- SIMULATING CONCRETE FORMWORK
AUTHOR: VASILY SITNIKOV
The research aspires to establish a greater role for simulation in concrete design and building technology, to make it an intrinsic and deeply integrated tool that mediates the design between technological stages. The impetus for...
ESR09- SIMULATING CONCRETE FORMWORK
The PhD student will investigate and develop methods for the simulation of formwork in architecture. This will entail research into the transformation between states of fluidity and solidity germane to casting, the dynamic relationship between casting material, formwork and environmental factors, and the architectural possibilities and consequences.
