EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE OF 3D- PRINTED CONCRETE BUILDINGS

The research investigates how 3D concrete printed buildings behave through examinations of printing methods,
materials, structural strength, durability, and safety performance. The new structures require reliability testing, so
we gathered experimental data about 3D printed concrete parts through mechanical property analysis, stress tests,
and long-term performance measurements. The research demonstrates that particular material pairings with
specific printing methods result in enhanced strength and durability, producing parts that perform better than
predicted under simulated earthquake forces. The results obtained hold special importance because they apply to
the construction of healthcare facilities, including resilient medical centers in disaster-prone areas. The capability
to build 3D printed structures with high safety standards would speed up the deployment of healthcare services
through rapid-response hospitals in challenging locations. The research improves additive manufacturing in
construction and demonstrates how 3D printed concrete can reshape healthcare architecture, creating more logical
future projects. The findings indicate that additional focused research should be dedicated to developing and
implementing 3D-printed concrete solutions to enhance safety, durability, operational efficiency, and flexibility
in healthcare facilities and other applications.
