Abstract

This research aims to investigate the effects of different parameters involved in particle-bed concrete printing on the quality of aggregate-bed concrete printing products. In particular, particle size and grading of aggregates were investigated by adopting two groups of single-size aggregates and a group of mix-size aggregates. The printed products were characterized by mechanical performance, CT scanning and visual appearance. The result reveals that the 3D printed products have layered structures, which is different from conventional casting concrete. The mechanical properties and macrostructure of printed specimens were significantly influenced by the adopted aggregate size and grading.
