Optimisation of prefabricated construction processes

异地施工在世界各地越来越受欢迎，并在许多方面显示出巨大的潜力。异地施工可以减少施工成本和时间，提高质量和现场安全，仅举几例。然而，实现有效的模块化策略的技术是有限的，研究也很少。对于非现场模块化建造技术在大型和复杂项目中的应用，如小型模块化反应堆，已经确定需要进一步研究如何实现成功的模块化。参数设计技术将与优化技术相结合，并作为一种接近答案的方法进行研究。

Shifting construction off-site is growing in popularity around the world, and shows great potential in many regards. Off-site construction can reduce construction cost and time, improve quality as well as on-site safety, to name but a few. Techniques for achieving an efficient modularisation strategy are however limited and poorly studied. For the application of off-site modular construction techniques to large and complex projects such as Small Modular Reactors, it has been identified that further research is required into how to achieve successful modularisation. Parametric design techniques will be combined with optimisation techniques and investigated as a method to approach an answer.
