Abstract

Abstract

The potential construction advantages of 3D printing technology are of great significance to promote the building industrialization, and its application to raw soil construction is one of the focuses of attention and research at home and abroad. Firstly, the preparation technology of 3D printing raw soil was reviewed from the aspects of the composition of 3D printing raw materials, the rheology of raw soil to meet the requirements of 3D printing, and the shrinkage and cracking caused by drying of raw soil. The extrudability and maximum height of raw soil from the printing nozzle were summarized. The influence of process parameters such as nozzle shape and size, printing speed and path on the molding of 3D printing raw soil was analyzed. This paper mainly summarized the research status of compressive strength and interlayer bond strength of 3D printed raw soil after hardening, and finally introduced the problems faced by 3D printing raw soil construction technology and the prospect of the future, which could provide a reference for the research and development of 3D printing raw soil construction technology.
