Designing Polypropylene Fiber Reinforcement For 3D Concrete Printing: Rheology Control, Thixotropic Recovery and Mechanical Performance

12.02.26 | Wen Si, Mehran Khan, Ciaran McNally (University College Dublin)

This study examines the influence of polypropylene (PP) fibre length and dosage on the rheological and mechanical performance of cementitious mortars and their validation in 3D printed concrete (3DPC).

Damping Ratio Identification of a Volumetric Modular High-Rise Building

09.01.25 | Hollie Moore, John Hickey, Brian Broderick, Breiffni Fitzgerald (Trinity College Dublin)

The damping ratio of a structure is a critical value in determining the acceleration response of a building and is best characterised through in situ monitoring. However, there are very limited reports of the damping ratios from modular buildings. This paper reports research performed through in situ monitoring of a high-rise modular building.
