New Framework Could Standardize 3D Printed Construction in Earthquake Zones

Researchers at IIT Guwahati have successfully tested full-scale 3D printed concrete walls under simulated earthquake conditions and created a validated design framework for seismic applications. The findings, published in the Journal of Building Engineering, provide a standardized approach for using 3D printed construction in earthquake-prone zones.
