Reinforcement Strategies for Additive Manufacturing in Construction Based on Dynamic Fibre Winding: Concepts and Initial Case Studies

Whereas entire houses are reported to be built by means of 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP), automated integration reinforcement is still a vastly unresolved challenge and - undoubtfully crucial requirement for widespread adoption 3DCP in construction practice. The disruptive technology opens up the chance overcome insufficiencies conventional steel its rationalised orthogonal use. This paper discloses field options future exploring possible strategies different kinds cement-based Additive Manufacturing techniques using continuous textile fibres. A methodology introduced identify, compare assess new processes fibre based on robotic winding. Two novel approaches will described regarding Large Particle Shotcrete 3d Printing. Respective case studies presented order give basic proof concept.
