“Between 1776 and 1945, Washington intervened roughly once to one and a half times per year. During the Cold War this climbed to nearly 2.5 interventions annually. After the Cold War it surged to 4.6 per year, and since 2001 it has remained extraordinarily high at 3.6 annually.

During the Cold War, hostility levels were roughly symmetrical. But in every period before and after, the US displayed higher hostility levels than its adversaries – often significantly higher..”

Hey, netvets, remember Groverhaus? I feel like I could build a better, more batshit insane design of a dwelling. With a bespoke, self-made concrete printer. This has the added advantage of guaranteeing more building code violations, because those are all for concrete blocks or rebar-and-poured-in-forms concrete. Good idea?

@picofarad No, this would be entirely self-engineered printed concrete structural members, assembled as a building skeleton, then covered over with printed concrete wall cladding, with blow-in mineral wool insulation in the voids. The dual wall concept would therefore only be self-supporting over its own story, transferring the weight down to foundation piers through arches, beams, columns, and ties. I don't like the current percentage of unprinted parts in "3D printed houses".

@picofarad Also, I intend to add submanifold cold water plumbing and home-run hot water plumbing, in PEX, with bypassable fire protection sprinklers on the cold water pipes. Two separate electrical conduit PVC pipes--for high voltage AC, and low voltage AC and DC--with pull tape and wire already in the segments before placement. Being able to put pipes inside the wall before you finish building it is a great advantage.
in reply to picofarad

@picofarad Wood structures apply the wrong constraints. Commercial lumber sells straight sticks and rectangular boards, and carpentry assembles a stud wall and places it before infrastructure goes in and drywall finishes it.

A steel-beam skeleton is more apt. The beams and pillars support the structure, and all the work from there goes over it. Altering the support to use mainly compression and little tension, over fewer stories, is doable in reasonably sized reinforced concrete members.

in reply to picofarad

@picofarad The concrete replaces two elements. Printer 1 is a fixed-frame XYZ-axis printer. It prints concrete structural elements reinforced by basalt fiber: columns, arches, subflooring, &c. These are assembled into a building skeleton, much like the steel frame of a taller building. Printer 2 is a robot-arm. It first prints temporary rails onto the subflooring. Then it follows the track, printing the outer walls and sinusoidal subwalls, and filling voids with mineral wool.
