Profile

M. Mirza Abdillah Pratama (Mirza) earned his B.Eng. degree from Diponegoro University, Indonesia in 2014 and a M.Eng. in Structural Engineering from Diponegoro University, Indonesia in 2015. He joined as a lecturer at Department of Civil Engineering and Planning, Faculty of Engineering, State University of Malang (Universitas Negeri Malang), Indonesia from 2016 until present. His research mainly concerns concrete materials, and also finite element modelling. He focuses the research on graded concrete and its prospective development. During his career, he joined non-degree training in Delft University of Technology (2019), Oregon Institute of Technology (2021), and the University of Sheffield (2022). He hold a professional degree in civil engineering (Engineer) from Brawijaya University in 2022. Currently, he is working as a PhD student in Civil and Structural Engineering at the University of Sheffield, the United Kingdom.

Research Project: Performance of 3D printed concrete under demanding conditions

Supervisor: Dr Behzad Nematollahi, Dr Giacomo Torelli

Additive construction technology (ACT) can allow the free-form construction of concrete structures with complex geometries without the use of expensive and waste-generating formwork. In addition, the ACT could decrease the number of injuries and deaths in the construction industry by replacing dangerous low-skilled construction work with safer high-skilled work. However, there are challenges to be overcome before 3DCP can be routinely implemented in the construction sector. For example, no study is available on the performance of additively manufactured concrete under multiaxial stresses. In addition, there are very limited studies on the performance of additively manufactured concrete under elevated temperatures. This project aims to fill these knowledge gaps by investigating the performance of additively manufactured concrete members under multiaxial stresses and elevated temperatures. This project is expected to facilitate the adoption of the ACT in the construction industry.
