Structural Reinforcement Methods for 3D Printed Concrete

There are various ways different companies use steel or fibers to increase the flexural and tension strength of printed concrete.

Thank you for the informative videos. Civil Engineering undergrad watching from Uganda Africa hoping to change my country with such new tech.

[@automateconstruction]

Awesome Uganda could be a great place to implement this tech

[@copphee]

Thank you Jarett for this video it was exactly what I was looking for. In my opinion all 3d printed buildings must use concrete mixed with fibers but also be provided with a base seismic insulation system as the dumping rubber bearings. Even if new materials will be developed guaranteeing a higher tensile resistance I would still prefer to use an anti seismic system. Keep up the good work!

[@automateconstruction]

Thanks I need to learn more about anti seismic systems and construction in seismic zones that’s something a lot of people bring up.

[@dejayrezme8617]

Thanks, really interesting video! I was looking into 3D printed houses a while back. They have a huge potential for rebuilding villages or cities which will become important in the future. I also imagine they could be used to bring back a more ornate and beautiful architecture compared to the modern style. It could even produce "photocopies" of classical architecture.

Will this replace TMT bars to some extent?

[@dragonflymadfw]

Will that work in high clay content soil such as Texas?

Industrial engineer working as tooling designer for 5+ years here, why do you print in straight angels? Radius will do you wonders. Also, why are you using so much volume when printing? Thanks! Respect for your efforts!

[@symple-pedia8211]

Would it be cheaper to have your house partitions and walls made of 3D printed concrete than regular brick works?

[@automateconstruction]

That’s the goal, the printer is a big fixed cost though so it takes many units to realize economies of scale that will bring the price down.

[@3dbunkers]

3D future is also moving into the 3D PRINTED BUNKERS. Printed in a day and super fast and cheap! The design is limited to your imagination.

[@RoqueMatusIII]

Question, will prestressed Precast Concrete ever be replaced with 3d Printing? For example Aashto Griders Beams, etc etc?

[@automateconstruction]

That doesn’t seem particularly likely in the short term unless there is some serious development in the materials sector

[@RoqueMatusIII]

@@automateconstruction Okay thank You. Just had to ask because I do not want to learn something that will eventually turn obsolete.

[@automateconstruction]

Roque Matus I don’t think anything is truly safe from one day becoming obsolete.

[@RoqueMatusIII]

@@automateconstruction That's why the first principle approach of thinking is so important. (Physics)

[@fermadelpenny2132]

All those methods slightly improve the concrete tension resistence. But will be never enough for seismic areas. Ever ever.

[@automateconstruction]

That’s why I think many companies will move away from concrete and towards new synthetic materials with the desired properties

Hi bro i from india want to make 3D concrete machine as my project i like to make the mechine bro.. plz

Hi, do you have a phone number where you can be contacted? My mom is interested in 3D home building and she does not use social media.

I was just thinking about the inlay reinforcement idea and found your video..lol....anyways...have you ever thought about the way toothbrushes are made? might be a way to add reinforcement to either the front of or behind the extrusion head. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2PTnXyXoZt7o7c

[@automateconstruction]

For truly crack preventing reinforcement the cables or fibers need to be in tension while the concrete is curing

[@MountainManMike]

@@automateconstruction so a fiber/reinforcement that slightly shrinks as it cures or cools down? Is that correct?

[@wangyuzhang]

I still trust rebar.
