Abstract
The use of shotcrete for hard rock tunnel linings has drawbacks such as irregular surfaces and rebounds. By contrast, extrusion-based 3D concrete printing presents a promising solution with precise deposition and reduced rebound. This study discusses the potential of 3D printing for tunnel linings, focusing on mitigating shear failure and addressing interfacial detachment. Achieving high strength early for stable adhesion to rock surfaces is paramount for countering shear failure. A twin-pipe pumping system was introduced utilizing a helical static mixer to blend concrete involving chemical triggers, effectively managing the stiffness and fluidity during pumping. In addition, the adhesion to the substrate must be addressed. Based on the above discussion, this study offers insights into the fundamental challenges, paving the way for advancing extrusion-based 3D concrete printing for tunnel linings.
