Abstract

Abstract

3D concrete printing technique has become the main means of intelligent construction because of its advantages of digitalization, automation and intelligence. The paper firstly introduced the basic principle and corresponding approaches of 3D concrete printing. A comparative analysis of domestic and foreign research on the performance requirements of fresh printable concretes, mechanical properties of hardened concrete, concrete rebar settlement technique, structural mechanical properties and construction examples was followed. In addition, a summary of domestic and foreign 3D concrete printing equipment was conducted. Finally, several future research orientations were proposed, included 3D concrete printing with coarse aggregate, mix design for 3D concrete printing, composite reinforcement arrangement technique, applicability analysis for 3D concrete printing technique, assembly printing equipment and platform integration, etc.
- 3D printed concrete,
