Project 2A: Structural Integrity
This project develops structural systems and details for digital concrete that ensure reliable structural performance while maintaining fidelity to the aims of sustainability through material-efficiency. Approaches for connections and reinforcement that combine the strengths of digital and conventional concrete will be explored. The project is divided into two work packages, each of them examining different digital concrete processes for improved structural systems that are codecompliant and economically feasible, and thus more likely to be implemented in mass-market applications.
Project 2A comprises the following work packages:
1) Structural integrity of digital casting systems
2) Reinforcement for 3DCP
