Abstract

The prospect of sustainable and productive construction through efficientmaterial use, freeform capabilities, and industrialising the construction industry have motivated a surge in academic research and industry activity in the field of extrusion-based additive manufacturing of cementitious material or 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP). Recently, residential buildings have been constructed in several countries by incorporating 3DCP in the building method. However, significant innovation and development are required to utilise this digital fabrication method in the construction of multi-storey residential buildings. A construction system that can design and fabricate a structural concrete frame for such buildings while capitalising on the strengths of 3DCP in combination with traditional concrete fabrication methods is desired. Therefore, this paper aims to formulate a development strategy for a digital construction system, consisting of off-site 3DCP and precast concrete construction that can design and fabricate a multistorey structural building frame. Systems engineering tools are used to formulate this development strategy. An ideal concept system, termed the reference case, is defined. Goals for the construction system are selected, and a system breakdown is performed by identifying tasks and subtasks. Existing technologies and methods that can complete these tasks are identified from the relevant literature and are selected according to the system goals. The failure modes of the selected technologies and the required experimental tests to validate the design of elements are identified. Finally, conceptual drawings of frame elements, a sub-frame, and the on-site assembly of a sub-frame are provided.
