Abstract/Executive Summary

3D Concrete Printing is starting to change how buildings are constructed by offering faster and more precise building methods with less material waste. In the Philippines, there is a growing need for housing that is both affordable and capable of withstanding frequent natural disasters such as typhoons and earthquakes. This study looks at the feasibility of using 3D printing technology through an 18 sq. m. conceptual housing model focused on disaster resilience. The study uses computer-aided design software and digital simulations, including STAAD.Pro and RWind, to test how the structures respond to seismic activity and extreme wind pressure. By using structural and aerodynamic validation using digital twins, the results show that the optimized curved design can reduce lateral wind drag by about 40% while maintaining structural integrity under Category 5 typhoon conditions. The study explores how 3D printing can serve as a more sustainable and practical alternative compared to traditional Filipino construction methods.
