Abstract

A major portion of today’s construction cost is attributed from a labor cost, and this labor cost tends to increase every year. Therefore, construction industries worldwide propose several modern solutions to cut back the labor cost, which consequently lead to lower overall construction cost. A 3D printing (3DP) technology using cement mortar can be one of such solutions proposed to lower the labor cost. Many research programs determining the 3DP concrete panel are being carried out. This study presents results from a scaled test of a complex shaped 3D printed wall panel with the dimension of 1.3 m height by 0.9 m width by 0.125 m thickness. The experiment aims to investigate its load carrying capacity behavior and failure mode under an axial compression loading. Test results indicate that the axial load capacity of the tested 3DP panel is significantly lower than that calculated from the material compressive strength. It is found that the geometry of the scaled panel plays an important role in the hardened performance characteristics. The 3DP wall panel was failed by the panel geometry, not by the maximum material performance due to the delaminating behavior between the layers during loading. The results from this study offers technical information used for a future optimized design of 3D printed structures in terms of shape, amount of material used, load carrying capacity, and possible failure modes.
