Abstract

This paper describes the realisation of Striatus 2.0: Phoenix, a permanent, 3D-concrete-printed, dryassembled, unreinforced-masonry arched footbridge composed of dry-assembled, 3D-concrete-printed blocks (Fig. 1). The research presented in this paper details the improvements that were made to the novel integrated design, engineering, and fabrication framework and to the manufacturing and assembly processes used in the realisation of Striatus (Bhooshan et al., 2022a, b; Dell’Endice et al., 2023). This paper builds on the relevance of the computational masonry paradigm to deliver the ecological promises of 3D concrete printing (3DCP) and provides a detailed comparison between the two iterations of the bridge (Figs. 2, 3).
