Abstract
In the current era, sustainability has gained significant importance within the field of civil engineering. The promising technology of 3D printing for cementitious materials addresses the mentioned challenges. This study provides a briefly overview of the sustainable approach to 3D printed concrete, covering both technological and material aspects. The paper presents a thorough analysis of the essential properties of 3D printed concrete from a sustainable perspective. Specifically, the composition of binders and aggregates is examined in relation to sustainable development. In case of technological aspects various research studies have demonstrated that the mentioned aspects of 3D concrete printing have the potential to achieve a minimum reduction of50% in CO2 emissions. Furthermore, modifying materials can help protect natural resources from depletion, and the use of alternative binders can further reduce CO2 emissions. The findings presented in this work pave the way for new directions in future research endeavors.
