Abstract:
There is a need to further study mixtures for three-dimensional concrete printing (3DCP) that incorporate fractions of large aggregates to develop more robust composition and achieve a feedstock with lower embodied energy. The main scope of this article is the scaling up of the solid constituents in such 3DCP mixtures.
