The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for an automated reinforced concrete construction system for onsite slip-form molding and casting a variety of cementitious mixes in a cast in place leave in place externally moldable flexible reinforced containment sleeve providing a wide variety of interchangeable full-scale molding configurations simultaneously optimizing a wide variety of cementitious mix curing characteristics, further having optional internal reinforcement net(s), for layer wise interlocking additive printed brick deposition providing improved slip-form mold casting of a wide variety of reinforced concrete structures; the present invention further includes a variety of operating platforms suitable for on and offsite constriction as disclosed herein.

A forming system includes a frame and two forming walls. The two forming walls are positioned at a distance from each other to define a first vertical wall course. One forming wall is supported by the frame such that the one forming wall can be translated toward or away from the respective other forming wall. The frame can be raised to raise the two forming walls to be positioned to pour a second vertical course on top of the first vertical course. The translation of the one forming wall allows for the pouring of the first vertical course with horizontally extending rebar that extends through the one forming wall outside of the first vertical wall course, to tie in to a subsequently poured floor slab. The translation permits the vertical raising of the one forming wall, without striking the extending rebar, to pour the second vertical course on the first vertical course. A worker's platform is provided that is supported by the frame and vertically movable by raising the frame. The worker's platform is located below the one forming wall on a side of the one forming wall opposite the respective other forming wall and is retractable to also clear the extending rebar during raising of the frame.

A concrete forming system for reducing the time and labor required for the framing, pouring, and curing of concrete walls. The concrete forming system generally includes concrete forms including a first wall, a second wall opposing the first wall, and a pair of sidewalls. A cavity is formed between the walls; with an opening being fluidly connected to the cavity. A first vehicle is connected to the first wall and a second vehicle is connected to the second wall. Using the vehicles, the positioning and orientation of the walls may be adjusted. After the walls have been placed and oriented, the vehicles will hold the walls in place as concrete is poured into the cavity through the opening. The concrete is allowed to cure into a structure; after which the vehicles and walls may be moved to another location to repeat the process.

The invention relates to a self-climbing system (10), in particular a self-climbing formwork system, comprising at least one climbing rail (12, 14) which is guided on at least two climbing shoes (16, 16, 16), in particular an upper and a lower climbing shoe, wherein the climbing shoes (16, 16, 16) can be fastened on and/or on top of a cured concreting section (18, 18, 18), and an actuator (20). The invention is characterized in that a circulating drive means is arranged along the climbing rail (12, 14), at least over a length portion (L) of the climbing rail (12, 14), can be moved relative to the climbing rail (12, 14) by means of the actuator (20) and can be selectively blocked or unlocked in the region of a climbing shoe (16, 16, 16) and/or in the climbing shoe (16, 16, 16) by means of at least one fixing device. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a method for operating a self-climbing system (10) according to the invention. The invention opens up an improved climbing principle for self-climbing systems (10) whereby, for example, continuous climbing becomes possible.

A system and method are provided for instructing users on the fabrication of a volumetric module. Aspects thereof comprise receiving project documents related to fabrication of a volumetric module, generating fabrication information for instructing users on fabrication of the volumetric module, storing the fabrication information, creating a mesh network of actionable links based on parametric relationships comprising an intuitive, navigable mapping for accessing the stored fabrication information, providing a user interface to interact with the intuitive, navigable mapping to perform any one or more of (i) accessing the fabrication information to perform one or more steps in the fabrication of the volumetric module, and (ii) providing feedback regarding the fabrication information to facilitate review and updating to the fabrication information, and continuously updating the stored fabrication information and mesh network.
