Freek Bos is an Assistant Professor in the Department of the Built Environment,
Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e).
His research is in the area on 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP). Freek’s key interests include
structural behavior of printed concrete during printing, structural behavior of printed concrete
after printing in relation to print parameters, achieving structural ductility in printed concrete,
and additive manufacturing processes for concrete in general.
In the course of Freek’s research, two reinforcement concepts have been developed
that appear very promising: on-line addition of reinforcement cable and3D printable Strain-Hardening
Cementitious Composites (SHCCs; collaboration with the TU Delft).
His group intends to pursue further research on both developments. These findings can be used to
make 3D concrete printed buildings structurally safe.
Therefore, they constitute an important step in the development and applicability of the technology.
