Research
This section compiles research carried out during the past three years.
Buildability experiments on modes of failures in 3DCP
Validating the structural model for collapse of 3D concrete specimens under Plastic collapse.
Validating the structural model for collapse of 3D concrete specimens under Buckling.
Validating the structural model for collapse of 3D concrete specimens under Flexural collapse.
Robotic fabrication strategies
Step 1 - Optimization of fabrication strategy in Full-scale considering different objective functions.
Step 2 - Defining Fabrication strategies in Full-scale and Small-scale. F1 represents printing and entire leg at a time, while F2 and F4 considers printing two and four legs in sequence, respectively, which requires the use of travel moves but with increased layer return time.
Step 3.1- Impact of fabrication strategy on Full-scale optimized design
Step 3.2- Impact of fabrication strategy on Small-scale optimized design
