Abstract

Masonry vaults are mechanically efficient structures but deemed uneconomical because of falsework construction. Even a craft like thin-tile vaulting, which does not require centering to support the vault during construction, needs time-consuming guidework to aid the builders follow the vault’s geometry. However, this visual support can be digitized, using augmented reality to create digital guidework. The proposed methodology provides a framework that empowers vault builders to remain in control of their analog craft by providing only the right digital visual information. This methodology was developed through a preliminary prototype that led to a demonstrator built in an uncontrolled outdoor environment. Construction results showed productivity gain around 30% in terms of time, and shape accuracy under 1% of the span. The static holographic projection of the guidework could be extended in future research into an interactive aid, through mixed reality for further construction productivity and accuracy, as well as for training and design.

增强型薄瓦拱顶结构的数字导向系统

砌体拱顶是一种机械效率高的结构，但由于施工错误而被认为是不经济的。即使是像薄瓦拱顶这样的工艺，在施工过程中不需要居中来支撑拱顶，也需要耗时的指导工作来帮助建造者遵循拱顶的几何形状。然而，这种视觉支持可以数字化，使用增强现实来创建数字指南。提出的方法提供了一个框架，使拱顶建设者能够通过只提供正确的数字视觉信息来控制他们的模拟工艺。这种方法是通过一个初步的原型开发出来的，这个原型导致了一个在不受控制的室外环境中建造的演示器。施工结果表明，在时间方面，生产率提高了约30%，形状精度低于跨度的1%。在未来的研究中，导具的静态全息投影可以扩展为交互式辅助工具，通过混合现实进一步提高施工效率和准确性，以及培训和设计。
