This study investigates the influence of different printing set-ups and materials on bond strength reinforcement manually placed between 3D printed concrete layers. An identical experimental campaign was performed at two institutes in Switzerland Italy. Each institute used its own process, which consisted either a set on-demand mix or high yield stress material. Two types (reinforcing bar Ø8 mm steel wire Ø1 mm) three production configurations (casting with parallel perpendicular to...
Abstract The construction sector is experiencing significant technological innovations with digitalisation tools and automated techniques, such as additive manufacturing. Additive manufacturing utilising cement-based materials can potentially remove the technological/economic barriers associated innovative architectural/structural shapes which are not suitable for conventional formworks adopted concrete material. However, in “free-form” digital fabrication concrete, mechanical properties...
