Visualisation of Co-operation in the Construction of a Monolithic Building

Institute of Mathematics Poznañ University of Technology ul.Piotrowo 3a, 60-965 Poznañ, Poland

When a monolithic construction is being erected, a strict regime must be followed on the thickness of a concrete layer and on the layer's solidification time. This regime can only be satisfied if all the cooperating ele ments (a concrete mixer, a crane, gangs working at the top of a building) harmonize. Assuming constant parameters of the co operating elements (but no constant increase of the construction within a 24-hour period is required), this paper presents the CoMB program, which dynamically visualizes this harmonization and reports the percentage of usage of co-operating elements. A didactic aspect of such a visualisation is outlined.
