Seismic Design Provisions for 3D-Printed Buildings

Abstract

AbstractThere is a rise in global interest, particularly in the United States, in the construction of three-dimensional (3D)-printed buildings. This surge in popularity is attributed to their cost-effectiveness, rapid construction, flexible designs, and ...Practical ApplicationsThe aim of this study is to present design provisions, supported by analysis and experiments, to help engineers design or evaluate 3D-printed buildings under seismic loads. The proposed method determines the required length of 3D-...
