Abstract:

Ohbayashi corporation has been engaged in the construction of a block of flats which, upon its completion, will be the tallest reinforced concrete building in Japan. A computerised comprehensive control system was developed for the reinforcement work for efficiency in the management work and, at the same time, mechanisation and automatisation of processing and assembly were promoted to ensure precision and reduction of labour. The level of automatisation has not been as high as it could have been, but the system has been functioning well as a total system aimed at CAD/CAM and has been of effect in raising the quality and reducing labour and term of works.
