Abstract

The anisotropic behavior of the 3D concrete printing elements represents a crucial key feature to be closely investigated. It is mainly due to the layered extrusion process, the most widespread digital concrete technology, which creates weak planes at the interface, known as “Cold Joints”, by placing material layer upon layer. To investigate the interface bond failure mechanism, the bond strength at the interface between layers was measured in this study, especially with respect to printing time gap between layers. In particular, this work provides a characterization of the mechanical properties of 3D printed concrete elements’ interfaces through the design and the implementation of an experimental setup supported by DIC technique, in order to study the shear behavior of layer interfaces. The study investigates different 3d concrete elements produced with 100 s, 200 s, 1800 s as time gap between layer deposition, showing a significant decrease in terms of maximum load up to about 50% for the elements realized with the higher value of resting time compared to bulk elements.
