Abstract Scope |
3D-printed concrete has become a major focus in the commercial construction industry as the demand for low-cost infrastructure has increased. The topics of interest have primarily been housing and livable structures. Many nontraditional applications have surfaced as industry and research fields have grown. For example, the Worlds Advanced Savings Project, designed eco-friendly clay-based housing made from local raw earth in a printable material format. One downfall in the current industry is the required amount of post-processing and additional rebar reinforcement.
One particular area of interest is the behavior of 3D-printed steel fiber-reinforced cementitious material under high energy impact and blast loading conditions. This study will look at the performance of additively manufactured concrete structures in correlation with the particular structure design and resultant energy dissipation. The performance and energy dissipation characteristics will aim to show the viability and effectiveness of these structures in extreme applications.
