STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING |
Course Objective |
For the last decade, additive manufacturing or 3D printing technology has been significantly developed. Additive manufacturing can be used with a wide variety of materials including ceramics, metals, polymers, and also concrete. Recently, 3D concrete printing (3DCP) has been getting attention from both academia and industry. Many advantages of 3DCP have been demonstrated, such as the elimination of formwork, waste reduction, design freedom, and significant saving in costs and labor. This technique, which brings automation in construction, is expected to replace traditional construction techniques in the near future. The objectives of this course are to introduce structural engineering students to the basics of additive manufacturing and its applications in construction, to familiarize students with different processes in 3DCP, and to teach students about the mechanical performance of 3D printed concretes and structures. |
