3D Printing for Construction in the Transformation of the Building Industry
by Bárbara Rangel Ana Sofia Guimarães João TeixeiraAs concrete revolutionised construction in the 20th century, digitalisation is transforming the building industry (BI). Process automation and 3D printing (3DP) are commonplace in the industry and our homes. However, due to BI’s scale and complexity, Additive Manufacturing (AM) is in its native stage. Ongoing scientific research has been providing knowledge that will simplify the integration of 3DCP in the market, exploring its materiality, technologies, and design methodologies. This book provides an overview of the latest research achievements of the design possibilities that 3DP for construction (3DC) can offer in the various fields of construction, particularly architecture and engineering.
3D Printing for Construction with Alternative Materials (Digital Innovations in Architecture, Engineering and Construction)
by Bárbara Rangel Ana Sofia Guimarães Jorge Lino Leonardo SantanaThis book explores the latest achievements and design possibilities that 3D printing for construction (DPC) can offer, the alternative materials to natural aggregates or cement and even the 4th dimension that is already starting in this area. DPC materiality is starting to be explored in architecture as a new design language to reach not only outrageous forms but also to leverage the building process and its performance. Like Corbusier explored the concrete potentiality of concrete to release the façade and the plan, 3DPC is allowing to straighten design freedom with building performance. Industry and Scientific research are offering design professionals possibilities to start a new design movement. New paths are also starting to be tracked to reduce even more this building system footprint, stalking alternatives to Portland cement (PC). Today is already possible to build with the soil from the buildings’ ground. Leftovers from various industries are opening possibilities to decrease the PC and natural aggregates rate in printable mortars. From the industry, salt is becoming a possibility to be used in 3DPC. Sugar can ashes are improving the mortar performance reducing adjuvants. Construction and demolition waste can substitute natural aggregates and even offer new textures and color possibilities. Finally, to close this edition, the latest steps on the use of Phase Change Materials in additive manufacturing are collected to raise awareness to the next step of AM, the 4D printing.

3D-Spannungsanalyse von linear elastisch homogenen Körpern: Analytische Lösungsmethoden für kontinuumsmechanische Probleme (essentials)
by Manfred Hahn Rafael D. JarzabekManfred Hahn und Rafael D. Jarzabek stellen zwei neue analytische 3D-Lösungen in der Kontinuumsmechanik vor. Diese analytischen Lösungen können zur Verifikation von numerischen Lösungsmethoden herangezogen werden. Beginnend wird in diesem essential die geschichtliche Entwicklung der analytischen Lösungsmethoden in der Kontinuumsmechanik für den 2D- und 3D-Raum und die daraus entstandenen Probleme aufgeführt. Da die Weiterentwicklung der analytischen Methoden aufgrund der mathematischen Schwierigkeiten vor einigen Jahrzehnten stagnierte und die Anwender numerische Methoden wegen der Entwicklung des Computers bevorzugten, wurden fortwährend nur noch numerische Lösungen für spezielle Probleme berechnet. Heute ist die Mathematik aber weiter, sodass nun doch neue analytische Lösungen gefunden werden können. Dazu stellen die Autoren die ursprünglichen Lösungsansätze vor und vergleichen sie mit dem neuen Lösungsverfahren von Pagano.
