Abstract 3D concrete printing (3DCP) has challenges in weak interlayer bond strength and steel reinforcement integration. Existing methods to improve the interlayer bond strength and integrate steel reinforcement have limitations in automatic operation and limited mechanical performance improvement. Strain hardening cementitious composites (SHCC), with the high tensile strength and tensile strain capacity, have the potential to achieve self-reinforced structures in 3DCP. Nevertheless, the wider adoption of SHCC in 3DCP is limited by the high cost of fibers and fiber agglomeration during printing.
To fill the gap, this study investigates the use of SHCC as bonding agent of… More >
