DELIVERABLES
D2.1
Identification of the scope and analysis of the results of using SCENE-B in housing typology: Gaining insights into the strengths and weaknesses of 3D concrete printing (AC) in residential construction, explore opportunities for improvement and innovation, and addressing potential threats to the technology's widespread adoption in the context of various residential typologies.
D2.2
List of building elements best suited for SCENE-B: The recognition of building elements and structures predestined for the use of concrete with new material properties is about leveraging the material's inherent strengths while also embracing innovations that enhance its performance, durability, and sustainability.
D2.3
Comparative analysis of building regulations in the EU.
WP3 Digital Toolkit
LEADER: Sintef Digital
Develop a high-fidelity digital twin that embeds the constraints of the specific concrete AM process in the digital representation. Develop and verify an intuitive architectural design tool that allows for effective exploration of the design space.
DELIVERABLES
D3.1
Digital twin of concrete AM process: Report on implemented algorithms and routines for modelling the AM process and providing interfaces on which the design tool can be based.
D3.2
Digital tool for architectural design: A tool, or suite of tools that provides architects with intuitive approaches to designing concrete AM parts, accounting for the constraints of the process.
WP4 Digital Fabrication
LEADER: Mechatronics Innovation Lab
The overall objective of this WP is to demonstrate that the new concrete material developed in WP5 (Concrete material design) is usable for material extrusion, and that required pumpability, flowability and buildability is achieved, in addition to meeting performance properties as expected. The final demonstration will be carried out by realizing designs that have been developed in WP2 (Architectural design).
DELIVERABLES
D4.1
Performance data from printing with unreinforced material: Performance data from testing the material developed in WP5 (Concrete material design) will be fed back to WP5 for iterative development, and ultimately to WP2 (Architecture) and WP3 (Digital toolkit). The performance data will be based on use with actual equipment, and include performance of pumpability, flowability and buildability.
D4.2
Technology for including aluminium reinforcement in the extruded material: Developed hardware and associated automation for introducing aluminium reinforcement into the material mix during deposition.
D4.3
Performance data from printing with reinforced material: Performance data from testing the material developed in WP5 reinforced with aluminium fibres will be documented, and eventually submitted to WP2 (Architecture) and WP3 (Digital toolkit).
D4.4
Design guideline document: A document including design restrictions and guidelines for how to design buildable structures for digital fabrication using aluminium fibre reinforced concrete material. This document will be fed into WP2 (Architecture) and WP3 (Digital toolkit).
D4.5
Prototype constructional elements: Actual demonstrator designs, developed in WP2 (Architecture) and with support from WP3 (Digital toolkit) will be realized through digital fabrication.
WP5 Concrete Material Design
LEADER: SINTEF Community
Develop a concrete mix with low environmental impact suitable for extrusion-based layer deposition (3D printing). This concrete will be based on the proven recipe for a low-pH concrete mix enabling the integration of fibres from a variety of materials (such as aluminium, glass, cellulose, carbon fibres, -including recycled waste materials, for example discarded wind turbine blades) in the extruded concrete. This will allow for production of a corrosion-free fibre-reinforced additive construction (3D printing) concrete with vastly improved properties. Fibres will improve bonding between the deposited layers, and thus allow free-forming with sufficient crack-bridging properties. The binder composition gives the possibility for use of seawater and sea sand in the mix.
It will also be developed numerical model for FEM simulation of mechanical properties evolution from placement to the final set.
DELIVERABLES
D5.1
Extrudable concrete mix: The material composition of the mix together with the preparation procedure.
D5.2
Assessment of seawater and sea sand in concrete mix: Comparative report on seawater and sand influence on concrete mix performance.
D5.3

D5.4
Assessment of AM concrete mix with aluminium or waste-derived fibre: Comparative report on aluminium fibre reinforcement influence on concrete mix performance.

DELIVERABLES
D7.1
Periodic and 6-monthly intermediate progress reports: Reports for submitted for M6, M12, M18, M24, M30, M36. We expect that full progress reports will be requested for M12, M24 and M36. In addition to this, intermediary reports will be prepared for M6, M18 and M30, these will provide input and indicate if there are any issues that are in need of mitigating actions.
WP8 Portfolio Activities
LEADER: SINTEF Manufacturing
This work package aims at exploring synergies and collaborations among the projects of the portfolio, to maximize the achievement of the scientific results, the exploitation potentials, the outreach opportunities with key stakeholders, the identification and overcoming of major barriers to introduce novel technologies to the architecture engineering construction industry. The portfolio consists of 10 projects.
Portfolio projects will be expected to exchange information on the results achieved within their projects, their research methodologies, experimental tests, techno-economic input data in order to explore synergies and achieve more impact than one single project can achieve. The exchange of information for the purpose of EIC portfolio activities will fall under the conditions and non-disclosure obligations as specified in the EIC Work Programme 2023 (Annex 6, section 2.2).
