Composite materials in building structures using 3D technology

Abstract

© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. In recent years, composite materials have occupied a significant place among building materials. Among them can be distinguished glass and carbon fiber, which are largely distributed in construction. They are widely used in the reconstruction of concrete structures, for the production of structural products-as a substitute for some metal and stone structures, which is caused, first of all, by their significant mechanical properties and lightness. However, their fragility and relative high cost is an obstacle to the widespread use of this material. The introduction of 3D-technologies allows to reduce the cost of manufacturing building structures from composite materials, to increase their quality and manufacturability. 3D technologies also simplify the erection process and enable the implementation of complex architectural solutions.
