In the anniversary edition of beton – The Journal for Construction and Technology, an outstanding project of the Institute of Structural Design and Building Construction (KGBauko) is featured: the 3D-printed free-span concrete floor system. The project demonstrates how advanced 3D-printing technologies and innovative structural design can be combined to realize structural solutions that were previously impossible to achieve.

The free-span concrete floor system is remarkable not only for its technical precision but also for the efficiency and flexibility it offers throughout the design and construction process. We previously reported on the realization of the project in December. The new feature article in beton provides a more detailed look at the design process, material selection, and the engineering challenges encountered during its development and construction.

Read the full article online or in the current issue of beton to learn more about the significance of this innovation for the construction industry and for research in structural design and building construction.
