Experimental and Numerical Investigation of an Innovative 3DPC Thin-Shell Structure

The development and application of new Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) material and 3D printing construction technology provide a basis for making up for the shortcomings of traditional thin-shell structures and building new thin-shell structures with better performance. In this paper, a new 3D Printing Composite (3DPC) thin-shell structure is proposed, which is prepared using a FRP plate as a permanent base mold and combining it with 3D printing cement technology. Both the typical experiment and finite element numerical simulation analysis of the 3DPC thin-shell structure are carried out. The results show that the maximum load capacity of the 3DPC thin-shell structure is increased by 53.3% as compared with the corresponding traditional concrete thin-shell structure. The presence of the FRP sheet effectively delays the generation of initial cracks and enhances the ductility of components.
