Given its superior merits, 3D-printed concrete (3DPC) has transformative implications for the development of digital and green buildings. However, the poor interfacial properties of 3DPC may hinder the widespread adoption of 3DPC, as the construction industry is inherently risk-averse. To address this challenge, we propose a robust peridynamics model to predict interlayer bond strength and realistic crack propagation paths accurately. Assuming that the pore structure in the interfacial region is the primary factor affecting interfacial adhesion, a novel interfacial-controlled peridynamics model is developed using poroelasticity. By introducing a straightforward relation between interface and matrix fracture energy, our numerical model gains another significant advantage: its simplicity, as only one coefficient needs to be calibrated. The effectiveness and reliability of the proposed framework are validated through several numerical examples. Furthermore, as a first attempt, we investigate the interfacial failure of 3DPC, considering the filament heterogeneity under complex loading patterns. The competition between crack penetration and kinking modes of 3DPC is investigated. The results show that such competition significantly influences the final damage distribution, thereby offering valuable guidance for early prevention strategies. The present work provides deeper insights into the interfacial fracture behavior of 3DPC and lays the theoretical groundwork for its practical and large-scale implementation.

A numerical procedure for the simulation of both fogging and the defogging process on the glass door of a vertical refrigeration display cabinet for chilled food is presented. The large scale problem within the cabinet (convective air flow and heat transfer, moisture mass transport, unsteady conduction through a multi-glazed door) is modelled via a commercial CFD code, whereas the water layer is modelled, via in-house user defined routines, as a collection of tiny droplets in order to take into account the surface wetting properties, the latent heat contributions and the area effective wet fraction. Local water layer equivalent thickness and time needed for the complete defogging are evaluated for different indoor conditions. The influence of anti-fog coatings is investigated comparing different droplets contact angle, from 30° to 90°.

Advancements in automated building defect detection technology are essential for preserving historical architecture. Although existing intelligent technologies have made notable progress in detecting defects in modern residential buildings, their application to historical buildings faces significant challenges due to the complexity of structures, material diversity, and long-term natural and human-induced deterioration. This study focuses on historical buildings in Guangzhou, China, and introduces a dedicated task for detecting defects in such buildings. To support this task, a high-quality, customized dataset has been developed as a research foundation. To address challenges such as image blurriness during data collection and the complex structural characteristics of historical buildings, this study proposes a baseline model named Deblur-DetNet. The model employs a two-stage approach that integrates image deblurring and defect detection, significantly enhancing both accuracy and robustness. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method performs exceptionally well in the task of historical building defect detection, particularly in identifying fine-grained defects. This research provides robust technical support for the protection and restoration of historical buildings and establishes a solid foundation for further studies in cultural heritage preservation.
