Digital Concrete for Sustainable Construction Industry (2021-10)¶

Recent research and industry have seen a great deal of digital production techniques with concrete and cemented materials, and the advanced techniques of industrialisation such as the 3D printing. 3D printing is an attention seeking technology in recent times, which in future years can have huge social and economic effects. The building industry and research projects around the world have focused on automatic construction systems. The possibility of revolutionising building is not only through cost reduction but also through enhanced sustainability and usefulness. There are major challenges, including understanding the early age hydration, and regulating the connection to rheology, the integration of strengthening and the overall connection between the processing, material and performance, both in structural and in terms of durability. This research article describes a state of the art 3D concrete printing with historical knowledge and progress with equipment, materials and computer modelling. This paper presents current progress, modern and up to date approach. It is essential to interdisciplinary action since the subject combines many different areas and is led thus far by areas such as architecture. The literature review examines the state of the art in the recent advancements of construction industry of digital concrete manufacture guiding the research difficulties so far.
