Abstract

This paper addresses the material buildability challenge in extrusionbased 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) applications, since this is paramount to increase production rates of vertical elements such as columns. We utilized oscillatory rheology to determine the early-age structural build-up curves of 3DCP mixes comprising White Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), Calcium Aluminate Cement (CAC), limestone filler, sand, viscosity modifying agent, retarder, and a plasticizer. Such curves served as basis to verify whether a geometry is printable, allowing for tuning the printing process parameters. The material characterization approach is validated through a case study, in which a column was designed – defining the structural build-up requirements – and printed using a robot-based 3DCP at a 0.68 m/h vertical build rate. Such case study and lessons thereof provide valuable insights into the link between design, material properties and 3DCP process parameters, setting the basis for a comprehensive study on the early-age structural build-up measurements to support 3DCP mix design.
