[0018] The application will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments, but the application is not limited to these embodiments.
[0019] An embodiment of the application provides a honeycomb-shaped shear wall structure based on 3D printing, as shown in the figure, the shear wall structure comprises: Figures 1 to 3 a shell 1 formed by 3D printing, which has a plurality of longitudinal cavities 11 inside, and the plurality of cavities 11 are distributed in a honeycomb shape in the cross section of the shell 1; a plurality of steel mesh sheets 2 arranged at different heights in the shell 1; the steel mesh sheet 2 has a plurality of through holes 21, the plurality of through holes 21 correspond to the plurality of cavities 11 one by one, and each through hole 21 is matched in size with the corresponding cavity 11; a plurality of steel cages 3 corresponding to the plurality of cavities 11; each steel cage 3 is connected with the plurality of steel mesh sheets 2; a preset functional material fixed in the plurality of cavities 11; a concrete material filled in the empty areas in the plurality of cavities 11. In the embodiment, the shell 1 can be printed by a special 3D printing concrete material (such as a fiber reinforced cement-based composite material), and the cavities 11 distributed in a honeycomb shape not only provide space for the steel cage 3 and the preset functional material, but also effectively disperse the hardening shrinkage stress of the concrete after pouring, reduce the wall cracks, and thus improve the mechanical properties of the shear wall.
[0020] In the embodiment, as shown in the figure, the spacing between the adjacent steel mesh sheets 2 is equal. For example, the spacing can be 15 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm, etc.
[0021] Figure 5 Specifically, as shown in the figure, each steel mesh sheet 2 comprises: a plurality of steel rings arranged in an array in the transverse direction, and adjacent steel rings are connected with each other; the plurality of steel rings arranged in an array form a plurality of through holes 21, and the size of each through hole 21 is greater than the cross-sectional size of the corresponding cavity 11. The steel ring can be circular, polygonal or "8" shaped.
[0022] Figure 4 a plurality of transverse steel bars 23 arranged at intervals on the plurality of steel rings arranged in an array; each transverse steel bar 23 is connected with the corresponding steel ring. In the embodiment, the "8" shaped steel ring 22 is adopted, as shown in the figure, and the "8" shaped steel ring 22 can be prepared by a steel bending process. As shown in the figure,
[0023]
[0024] Figure 6 Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of "8" shaped reinforcing ring 22 are arranged in a row on the horizontal plane and welded to each other, and two transverse reinforcing bars 23 are distributed and welded on both sides of the row of "8" shaped reinforcing ring 22, for strengthening the connection. In practical application, a row of "8" shaped reinforcing ring 22 can be further arranged on the upper surface of the row of "8" shaped reinforcing ring 22, and the inclination directions of the two rows of "8" shaped reinforcing ring 22 are opposite, so that the two rows of "8" shaped reinforcing ring 22 are cross-welded together, which can enhance the strength of the reinforcing mesh 2.
[0025] By layering a plurality of reinforcing mesh 2 in the cavity 11 of the shell 1, an anchoring structure is formed between the reinforcing mesh 2 and the shell 1, which improves the mechanical properties of the shell 1. At the same time, the reinforcing mesh 2 provides anchoring points for the arrangement of the reinforcing cage 3, which improves the arrangement accuracy of the reinforcing cage 3 and is beneficial to improve the gripping force between the reinforcing cage 3 and the concrete, thereby enhancing the shear resistance and ductility of the shear wall.
[0026] As shown in Figure 7 The reinforcing cage 3 can be prefabricated according to the size of the cavity 11 of the shell 1, and the reinforcing cage 3 can be composed of longitudinal reinforcing bars, hoop reinforcement bars, and tie bars, etc., which are adapted to the spatial form of the honeycomb-shaped cavity 11.
[0027] The preset functional material in the first embodiment is at least one of a mechanical functional material, an electrical functional material, an optical functional material, and an energy conversion functional material. The mechanical functional material includes damping shock-absorbing materials (such as lead rubber and viscoelastic materials), the electrical functional material includes intelligent sensing materials (such as carbon fiber sensing wires and piezoelectric ceramic sheets), and the energy conversion functional material includes phase change energy storage materials (such as paraffin-based composite phase change materials) and thermal insulation materials (such as rock wool and aerogel).
[0028] By setting the preset functional material in the cavity 11 of the shell 1, the comprehensive performance of the shear wall can be improved, and different preset functional materials can be set according to the actual situation to meet the needs of buildings in terms of heat insulation, energy storage, damping, self-repairing, intelligent response, etc.
[0029] The preset functional material can be embedded in the cavity 11 in the form of a prefabricated module or precise pouring, and works cooperatively with the reinforcing mesh 2, the reinforcing cage 3, and the concrete material to give the shear wall specific functions such as temperature regulation, energy dissipation and shock absorption, or state monitoring, etc.
[0030] In the first embodiment, the outer wall of the shell 1 has a connecting structure; a plurality of shells 1 can be connected to each other through the connecting structure. The connecting structure can be a prefabricated mortise and tenon type connecting structure, such as a tenon and a groove, or other forms of connecting structure.
[0031] The connecting structure is arranged on the shell 1, so that the multiple shear walls can be connected and assembled on the construction site, the assembling efficiency is improved, and the 3D printed shear wall can be widely applied to the fabricated building system.
[0032] The concrete material is fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete or ordinary concrete, and the fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete is used in the first embodiment. The fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete is poured into the cavity 11, used for filling the gaps around the reinforcement cage 3, the steel mesh 2 and the preset functional material, and used for solidifying the shell 1, the reinforcement cage 3, the steel mesh 2 and the preset functional material into an integrated whole through material bonding and mechanical engagement, so that a composite structure with cooperative stress of each part is formed, and the comprehensive performance of the shear wall is improved.
[0033] The second embodiment of the present application provides a construction method of the above-mentioned any one kind of 3D printed honeycomb-shaped shear wall structure, and the construction method comprises the following steps. S1, multiple steel meshes 2 and multiple reinforcement cages 3 are made.
[0034] S2, a shell 1 with a honeycomb-shaped cavity 11 is printed layer by layer by using a 3D printing device, after each layer of the shell 1 is printed, a steel mesh 2 is arranged on the upper surface of the printed shell 1, and the next layer of the shell 1 is continuously printed, until the shell 1 reaches a preset height.
[0035] S3, the printed shell 1 is cured for a first preset time, the first preset time is 3d-7d, and when the compressive strength reaches more than 70% of the design value (confirmed by detecting the test block under the same condition), the subsequent process can be performed.
[0036] S4, multiple reinforcement cages 3 are correspondingly placed into multiple cavities 11 of the shell 1 by hoisting or other methods, and each reinforcement cage is connected with multiple steel meshes by binding or welding.
[0037] S5, the preset functional material is placed into the cavity 11 and fixed at a suitable position. For example, the thermal insulation material is pasted on the inner wall of the shell 1, and the damping and shock absorption material is fixed in the gap of the reinforcement cage 3, so as to ensure that the preset functional material has no relative displacement with the reinforcement cage 3, the shell 1 and other structures.
[0038] S6, the concrete material is poured into the empty areas of the multiple cavities 11 from the pouring opening reserved at the top of the shell 1 according to the preset condition, and is cured for a second preset time after pouring. The preset condition includes that the pouring speed is less than or equal to 1.5m / h, so as to ensure that the concrete material is filled into all cavities 11 and wrapped around the reinforcement cage 3; the second preset time is 14d-28d. The standard curing time is: 7 days of film covering and moisture retention, 14 days of natural curing, and 28 days of curing until the compressive strength reaches the standard.
[0039] If multiple shear wall structures need to be combined and assembled, the assembly can be performed through the connecting structure on the side wall of the shell 1. Taking the mortise and tenon connecting structure as an example, the tenon of the previous shear wall structure is aligned with the mortise of the subsequent shear wall structure, pressure is applied to make the mortise and tenon tightly engage, if necessary, high-strength grouting material can be injected at the mortise and tenon joint to enhance the connection stiffness, forming an overall lateral force resisting structure, thereby realizing the close connection of multiple shear walls.
[0040] The present application improves the mechanical properties of the shell 1 by layering multiple steel mesh sheets 2 in the shell, forms an anchoring structure between the steel mesh sheet 2 and the shell 1, provides anchoring points for the layout of the steel reinforcement cage 3, improves the layout accuracy of the steel reinforcement cage 3, and is beneficial to improve the gripping force between the steel reinforcement cage 3 and the concrete, thereby enhancing the shear resistance and ductility of the shear wall. At the same time, the steel mesh sheet 2 can be laid at the same time when the shell 1 is layered and printed, and is anchored in the shell 1 layer by layer during the printing process, solving the problem of insufficient steel anchoring caused by the traditional "post-reinforcement" method. On this basis, by embedding the steel reinforcement cage 3 in the honeycomb cavity 11 of the shell 1, a double steel reinforcement constraint system of "layered shear skeleton + full-height main force skeleton" is formed, which enhances the interfacial bond strength of steel and concrete and reduces stress concentration. At the same time, this constraint system can effectively transfer shear force and disperse bending moment under reciprocating load, thereby significantly improving the overall bearing capacity, seismic ductility and durability of the shear wall. In order to improve the comprehensive performance of the shear wall, different functional materials are arranged in the cavity 11 of the shell 1 according to the actual situation to meet the needs of buildings for heat insulation, energy storage, damping, self-repairing, intelligent response and other aspects. In addition, the present application also provides a connecting structure on the shell, which is convenient for connecting and assembling multiple shear walls on the construction site, improves the assembly efficiency, and makes the 3D printed shear wall widely used in prefabricated building systems.

Although the preferred embodiments are disclosed above, they are not intended to limit the present application. Any skilled person in the art can make some changes or modifications to the disclosed technical content without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present application, which are equivalent to equivalent embodiments and belong to the scope of the technical solution.
