Additive Fertigung von Betonkonstruktionen

What it is about

The module provides a comprehensive introduction to the additive manufacturing of concrete structures with a focus on the technical aspects of the printing process and the structure. You will learn basic information about materials, processes, design, structural planning and sustainability, and you will be able to assess different design and manufacturing approaches and develop your own solution ideas.

What you will be able to do

• Fundamental understanding of the additive manufacturing of concrete structures
• Explain multidisciplinary character and key concepts
• Compare design possibilities across disciplines
• Recognize method-specific risks and advantages
• Suggest alternative design and manufacturing approaches (fundamental)
• Independently develop further studies (academic or industrial)
• Explain pros and cons regarding sustainability compared to conventional concrete construction
• Consider ecological, economic and social impacts
• Reflect methods and knowledge with regard to sustainable development
• Develop inter- and transdisciplinary approaches to connect ecological, social and economic aspects
• Incorporate context-dependent and individual conceptions of sustainability
• Understand disciplinary language across disciplines, justify decisions and argue defensively

What the module consists of

• VorlesungIntroduction to topics, Vermittlung theoretischer Grundlagen und Praxisbeispiele
• Übung (freiwillig)Short exercises on static calculations to support relevant topics
• Diskussionen/KonstruktionsaufgabenApplication of theoretical content to concrete design problems

Teaching method
