Abstract
Errors that occur on the side shape of Free-form Concrete Panels (FCP) can cause errors in the FCP construction stage. Therefore, the error generated in FCPs must be reduced. Accordingly, side mold development and research are being carried out. However, in the case of studies using side silicone molds, there was no detailed information about the specifications and application methods of molds, and there was no support between molds. When producing FCPs with the method stated above, there is a high possibility for the mold to be pushed due to the side pressure of concrete, which can cause errors on the side shape of FCPs. Therefore, two new types of side silicone molds were developed in this study. In order to verify the performance difference between the newly developed mold and existing molds, FCP production tests and error analysis were performed. In result, the developed mold decreased the average error difference of the FCP side by 3–5 times compared to the existing mold. In addition, the significance of the average error difference with the produced FCP was verified, and results showed that the difference of the average error was significant at a 95% confidence level.
