Abstract:
Traditional cap ceilings, self-supporting vaulted structures once prevalent in historical masonry construction, are experiencing renewed interest due to their potential for material efficiency and reduced waste. This resurgence comes amidst a pressing need to reduce material consumption in construction. However, the contemporary fabrication of such vaulted structures presents practical challenges. Leveraging advancements in 3D printing, this research seeks to revive cap ceilings by integrating h...     »
