FIBER CONCRETE FOR 3-D ADDITIVE TECHNOLOGIES

Open-source 3-D printing technologies for education: Bringing additive manufacturing to the classroom

Objective: 3-D printing technologies have the potential to improve both Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education and Career and Technical Education (CTE), as well as integrating these two educational emphases and providing opportunities for cross-curriculum engagement. The objective of this study is to investigate the potential of open-source (OS) technologies in an ed...

Stereoscopic 3 D Technologies

Instead, this report focuses mainly on stereoscopic 3D methods, mentioning other technologies to place them in context. The future trends will develop on the technologies available at this moment in time, so it seems sensible to concentrate on the short term. However, this review tries to highlight the dependencies and relationships between different options available for the deployment of 3D d...

Developing a 3 D finite element model for reinforced concrete

Microplane Model M6f for Fiber Reinforced Concrete

The new microplane model M6f for fiber reinforced concrete features several improvements over the earlier versions: (i) An explicit volumetric-deviatoric split to no split transition formulation in tension which eliminates spurious contraction under tension that the earlier models suffered; (ii) tension-compression load cycles are now correctly simulated using the loading/unloading rules prescr...
