Abstract

Article presents a scientific approach to creating a complex production process automation system for construction of monolithic buildings and structures (MBS). Specific features of systems with complex structure which present themselves in the way they function and by the interaction of local control systems within integrated system for production process automation were discovered. Justification is given to the structure of creation of local systems for automation of MBS construction processes and their functioning within interconnected complex control system. Model for optimal transportation of concrete mixture to the pouring site with sliding thermo-active formwork with hydraulic actuators is presented in the article. The model is integrated by parameters of physical and mechanical processes. Concept of production process automation for construction of MBS was outlined. The concept is implemented in accordance with specific operational and technological and IT support of integrated system for automated control. The greatest potential for increasing the rate of housing construction is possessed by the technology of monolithic housing construction. However, traditional methods of erecting monolithic structures are associated with increased labor intensity, a significant share of manual operations, and the lack of objective instrumental control of the quality of concrete work, which significantly affects the increase in the time and cost of construction. A radical solution to the problem of increasing the efficiency of monolithic housing construction technology is possible only through the integrated use of automation, robotization and microprocessor technology. A method and means have been developed for automating the processes of feeding, distributing, laying and compacting concrete mixture, which make it possible to fundamentally change not only the nature of the work of construction workers, but also its organization, productivity, quality and intellectual saturation. The technical requirements for the automated structures of switchgears are formulated, based on taking into account the specific technological conditions for the production of concrete works. A criterion is proposed and a methodology for choosing the optimal kinematic structure of an automated switchgear for the production of concrete works is developed. The problem of determining the geometric characteristics (the length of the links, the angles of rotation of the joints), the distribution booms for the given constructive and technological conditions of concreting has been solved.
