3D Concrete Printing Technology: Construction and Building Applications

Description

From the Back Cover Gain valuable insights into the unique nature of the concrete and technology used for 3D Concrete Printing. • Explores the factors influencing the mechanical properties of the 3D printed product out of magnesium potassium phosphate cement material • Includes methods for developing Concrete Polymer Building Components for 3D Printing • Provides methods for formulating geopolymer for 3D printing for construction applications A definitive guide to the special concrete and technologies used to construct buildings and building components, 3D Concrete Printing Technology: Construction and Building Applications provides valuable insight into the new manufacturing techniques and technology needed to produce the new additive needed to produce concrete materials. In this book, the Editors explain the Concrete printing process for the mix design and fresh properties high-performance printing concrete, along with commentary regarding their extrudability, Workability, and buildability. This is followed by a discussing of 3 Large-scale 3D printing of ultra-high performance concrete and its processing setup, computational design, printing process and materials characterisation. Properties of 3D-printed fiber-reinforced Portland cement paste and its flexural and compressive strength, density and porosity and the 3D-printing of hierarchical materials. 3D Concrete Printing Technology: Construction and Building Applications also covers topics such as the digital reproduction of historical building ornamental components, explaining the digital reproduction process and system composition, and algorithms for model slicing and nozzle path. The information presented in this book will enable the reader to analyse this emerging innovation and make their own assessment about its potential to transform the construction industry.
