Abstract
The research field of topology optimization (TO) has yet to find its way into the daily construction b practice. With the fast evolution of the 3D concrete printing technology, however, this integration can take a large leap forward. The work reported in this paper explores the possibilities and challenges of applying TO for 3D printed concrete (3DPC) structures by using the Abaqus software. Some selected features of the optimization module are discussed with respect to their relevance for 3DPC elements, among others the orthotropic material behavior of 3DPC and stress-based optimization. Assessment of the results shows the need for additional research on the material behavior of 3DPC and the development of software features tailored to 3DPC.
