Steel-Wire Mesh Reinforcement of Topology-Optimized 3D-Printed ECC Beams: Experimental and Numerical Investigation
Engineered cementitious composites (ECC) exhibit tensile strain hardening and multiple cracking, providing an inherent self-reinforcing capability that endows ECC with suitability for the complex forms enabled by topology optimization and 3D printing. To extend such optimized structures to a broader range of engineerin...
