3D concrete printing has great potential to enhance the development of the construction industry with the benefits of reduced construction waste and decreased labor dependency due to no formwork requirement, ease of construction of complex geometries, and low cost. 3D concrete printing technologies will enable recycled and high-performance materials in printable concrete components, which cannot be used with traditional construction methods. Despite these benefits, it is still not standard in the construction industry because of the lack of fundamental research on the thermal and energy performance of the 3D printed structural elements. There are even less study investigating the energy performance of an actual 3D printed concrete building and the impact of climate change on 3D printed concrete buildings. The effects of energy consumption on the environment and the relationship between energy consumption and the prevailing weather conditions are becoming a significant concern. Due to climate change, the equilibrium between the local climate and the buildings is vulnerable to a substantial shift, which offers a unique threat to buildings. The main objective of this thesis is to examine how climate change will affect 3D concrete printed structures and to compare the energy efficiency of 3D printed structures to conventional buildings. Additionally, it provides a comprehensive analysis based on 3D printing techniques for concrete utilized in the construction sector by conducting an on-site experiment of the first 3D concrete printed office in Turkey, located in the ISTON Factory.

Energy consumption of a day-occupied building utilizing phase changing material incorporating gypsum boards Akgül, Çağla; Gürsel Dino, İpek (null; 2018-09-14) In the architecture, engineering and construction industry, there is an urgent need for a shift to low-energy, sustainable buildings to address the environmental concerns, increase occupant comfort demands and lower the operational cost of buildings. In this direction, one of the most effective technologies is using PCM’s (phase change materials) as part of building envelopes. PCMs can increase building performance by increasing the thermal storing capacity of buildings by decreasing the heat transfer betwe...
Modelling of strengthened hollow brick infills BARAN, MEHMET; Ozcelik, Ramazan; Sevil, Tugce; Canbay, Erdem (2013-02-01) Strengthening the existing hollow brick infill walls by bonding high-strength precast concrete panels or applying steel fibre reinforced mortar was found to be an occupant-friendly seismic retrofitting technique for the buildings in use with deficient reinforced concrete structural systems. Both techniques convert the existing non-structural hollow brick infill walls into load-carrying structural members. To verify the effectiveness of the techniques, 20 reinforced concrete frames with hollow brick infill w...
Analytical study on seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete buildings using steel braces with shear link Durucan, Cengizhan; Dicleli, Murat (2010-10-01) This paper is focused on a proposed seismic retrofitting system (PRS) configured to upgrade the performance of seismically vulnerable reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. The PRS is composed of a rectangular steel housing frame with chevron braces and a yielding shear link connected between the braces and the frame. The retrofitting system is installed within the bays of an RC building frame to enhance the stiffness, strength and ductility of the structure. The PRS and a conventional retrofitting system usin...
Seismic Strengthening with Precast Concrete Panels - Theoretical Approach Baran, Mehmet; Canbay, Erdem; Tankut, Tugrul (2010-01-01) An economical, structurally effective and practically applicable seismic retrofitting technique has been developed on the basis of the principle of strengthening the existing hollow brick infill walls by using high strength precast concrete panels. The technique would not require evacuation of the building and would be applicable without causing much disturbance to the occupant. For this purpose, a total of eighteen reinforced concrete frames with hollow brick infill walls were tested under reversed cyclic ...
Seismic behavior of semi-precast concrete shear walls Golnesa Karimi, Zindashti; Binici, Barış; Canbay, Erdem (null; 2017-10-11) Successful seismic performance of well-designed and constructed precast concrete members is crucial for sustainable, economical and high speed construction. The main disadvantage of precast concrete is the difficulty of detailing the connection region between the vertical and horizontal load bearing elements to ensure structural integrity. Double wall system, being a semi-precast approach, consists of two precast reinforced concrete layers encasing a cast-in-place concrete layer which is usually employed to...
