Form work management based on ubiquitous computing for high-rise building construction

The recent development of ubiquitous computing has resulted in an improvement of management performance through real-time monitoring and control. Especially, in high-rise building construction with reinforced concrete structures, form work requires effective management systems to reduce the duration and cost of structural frame work and subsequent activities. Recently, a concrete curing management system by adapting a ubiquitous computing environment has been developed as a method for effective quality management. However, the system has difficulties in its application to form work management. Therefore, this study intends to develop a form work management system in high-rise building construction based on ubiquitous computing. This study presents the results of the first phase of the present research.
