Abstract
3D concrete printing (3DCP) is an efficient digital construction method, and 3DCP compatible reinforcing techniques are constantly being explored. 3D printing engineered cementitious composites (3DP-ECC) play the “self-enhancement” characteristic, which is anticipated to do away with the limitations of traditional reinforcement techniques. A series of experiments were carried out to study the effect of the composite cementation system with different dosages of sulfoaluminate cement (SAC) and ordinary Portland cement (OPC) on the flowability, shape retention, rheological performance, and green strength of the fresh 3DP-ECC. The results of rheological and working performances indicate that the M3 (7.5% SAC) is of suitable open time, and excellent extrudability, buildability and shape-retention-ability behavior, all of which are desirable for 3DP-ECC applications. And a quadratic connection between the static yield stress and green strength was found. In addition, evaluation methods for extrudability and buildability are proposed.
