Large shell structures made of concrete or stone are hardly ever built any more. The reason is that their construction requires large, expensive supporting structures. A completely new construction ...

3D concrete printing (3DCP) technology is already known to offer a more efficient approach to constructing buildings. A new type of 3DCP, however, is said to be even better, resulting in walls that ...

The distinctive shell structures form part of what was Norwich Sports Village, which opened in Hellesdon in 1988 [John East/Twentieth Century Society] A leisure centre's "majestic" concrete domes ...

Concrete shells are efficient structures, but not very resource efficient. The formwork for the construction of concrete domes alone requires a high amount of labor and material. A very resource ...

The University of Michigan researchers have developed a method for creating ultra-lightweight, waste-free concrete using 3D printing technology called the "Shell Wall." Researchers at the University ...

In an article recently published in the journal Additive Manufacturing, researchers discussed the utility of automated robotic concrete spraying in the digital manufacturing of ribbed concrete shells.

An alternative for resource intensive formwork for the construction of concrete domes has been developed. It is now used in a test dome for the Austrian Federal Railways Infrastructure. Concrete ...

The Princeton University course on German thin-shell structures in fall 2012 that resulted in the exhibition "Evolution of German Shells: Efficiency in Form" was co-taught by Sigrid Adriaenssens and ...

The new CI-LVPO-KT offers contractors and advanced DIYers the convenience of the Crack-Pac kit with the necessary materials for a commercial-grade structural concrete repair solution.
