Abstract

While 3D concrete printing is attracting attention due to its intelligent and automatic advantages, introducing reinforcement in the layer-by-layer process remains a major challenge. To address this issue, high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composites (HPFRCC) with self-reinforcing characteristic have been developed. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art on 3D printed HPFRCC (3DP-HPFRCC) with respect to fresh, hardened and durability properties, as well as microstructural features. The relationships between key fresh properties and printability are discussed in detail, including flowability, setting time, green strength and rheology. The anisotropy in the mechanical properties of 3DP-HPFRCC is evaluated and analyzed. The pore structure and fiber orientation are further examined to determine the mechanisms governing the mechanical properties of 3DP-HPFRCC. This review is expected to provide a systematic understanding on the performance of 3DP-HPFRCC and identify future research priorities for the widespread engineering applications.
