A knitted sweater 🧶 and 3D-printed concrete 🧱... what's the connection?

Inspired by the interwoven structure of a knitted sweater, Assistant Professor Zhou Wen and her team developed the "concrete stitching" approach, where concrete layers are interlocked to create an interwoven pattern that enhances the overall structural performance.

The result? The design improved the performance of the printed concrete in the weakest direction. The toughness of the stitched design increased by over 340%.

An idea from everyday life, reimagined to inspire innovations in engineering. 💡

CEE alumna Vimalatulasi Vetrivel is a principal project manager at the Land Transport Authority – We Keep Your World Moving, managing projects such as the construction of train stations on the Cross Island Line (CRL).

She is also a founding member of the Association of Women in Construction Singapore (AWiCS), which was formed to support more women advancing in the built environment industry. Vimalatulasi hopes the association will help reshape the perception of the construction industry as more than just concrete, steel and mud.
