An Automatic Mechatronic Complex for Erecting Monolithic Structures

Monolithic construction holds one of the leading places in modern civil engineering. All advantages of monolithic construction are fully displayed when using slip forms and erecting high-rise buildings and structures. The most effective application of slip forms is revealed while erecting chimneys, television and observation towers, tower silos, cooling towers, methane tanks, stiffening cores of buildings. Erection of monolithic objects in a slip form provides high rates of construction, good surface quality, continuous technological process, seismic stability of a structure. An important advantage of this construction method is the possibility to automate technological operation. Although nowadays a slip forms automation is mainly reduced to the control of design position, horizontal position of the working floor and automatic control of hoisting jacks. High rates of erecting monolithic structures in a slip form, the possibility of erecting high-rise objects with conic or hyperbolic profile require solution of the tasks to carry out complex automation of slip forms.
