Abstract:
Rheology control is important for 3D printed concrete mixtures. Particle packing is influential in rheological control. This work discusses approaches to enable better rheological control through size-differentiated particles. Limestone of multiple sizes (as fillers that do not interfere much with hydration) and graphene (that alters hydration characteristics and products) are used. The work determines pathways to incorporate these materials with an overall view of enhancing fresh (and if possible, hardened) properties of 3D printed concretes.
