Abstract

In recent years, the use of modular buildings is increasing more and more because of these systems are characterized by rapid installation, whether the module arrives on-site already assembled or it is being assembled on-site itself. These systems can include hybrid solutions, where the module is assembled on-site including also elements obtained by means of innovative technologies, such as 3D printing involving sustainable materials such as earth. This study focuses on a comparison of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) between a traditional non-structural wall and an innovative 3D printed one using earth-based material. Also, out-of-plane wall resistance is discussed for different seismic actions, considering the Italian seismic hazard map.
