Abstract
D-printed concrete (3DPC) is an innovative construction method that offers great design flexibility, material and labor efficiency, compared to conventional construction techniques. Enhancing the insulation of the 3DPC walls is essential for energy-efficient buildings. This study aims to investigate the combined effect of infill pattern (shape) and infill count (number of internal repeating units across the wall width) on the thermal performance of 3DPC walls. A parametric analysis is conducted to study the effect of using four different infill shapes and varying infill numbers on the heat flux through 3DPC walls. The results reveal that both infill geometry and repetition count significantly affect thermal transmittance, with optimized designs reducing heat loss effectively.
