Testing and analysis of the structural behavior
3D-printed reinforced-concrete elements
Additive manufacture (AM) and/or 3D printing with concrete represents a highly innovative and future-oriented production technology for the construction industry. For one, linkage with modern information and communication technology results in automated production and, second, it enables production of a great variety of forms with high cost efficiency at the same time – even for the smallest quantities – of (steel-reinforced) concrete elements.
Most investigations currently focus on the concrete material itself (e.g., pumpability and green strength of the fresh concrete), on which a number of...
