Central Asia’s First #3DPrinted House Built to Withstand 7.0 Earthquakes

Central Asia’s First 3D Printed House Built to Withstand 7.0 Earthquakes   Earthquakes occur daily around the globe, and conventionally built structures often struggle to withstand them.   In Kazakhstan, BM Partners recently introduced Central Asia’s first 3D printed house in Almaty, a city prone to severe seismic activity. Covering 100 m² (1076 SF), the house was constructed in under 2 months, with the walls #3Dprinted in just five days using COBOD’s #BOD2 printer. The house is built with extra-strong concrete, typically used for skyscrapers and bridges, with a compression strength of nearly 60 MPa (8500 PSI), far exceeding Kazakhstan’s conventional materials. This makes the structure resilient enough to withstand earthquakes as strong as 7.0 on the Richter scale. The #concrete mix was made from locally sourced materials and the admixture from COBOD International and @CEMEX, tailored to suit specific regional needs.   This project clearly demonstrates how advanced materials and innovative building techniques can be applied to create structures more efficiently and sustainably while ensuring high structural integrity.    Do you want to learn more about this project?
