This thesis explores a transformative approach to construction by integrating topologically optimized 3D printed formwork with fiber embedding between print layers. The research aims to revolutionize traditional construction methods by enhancing structural integrity, material efficiency, and overall performance. Topological optimization algorithms are employed to design intricate yet robust formwork structures, minimizing material usage while maintaining load-bearing capacity. Concurrently, reinforcing fibers strategically embedded within 3D printed layers enhance mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and crack resistance. Experimental studies validate the methodology, demonstrating superior performance compared to conventional construction. The research emphasizes the economic feasibility of this approach through a cost-benefit analysis, showcasing potential long-term advantages such as reduced material costs and faster construction timelines. In conclusion, this innovative methodology offers a sustainable, efficient alternative, poised to reshape the construction industry by creating a more resilient and environmentally conscious built environment.
