NDT to characterize 3D printed concrete interlayer bonds
3D printing in the construction industry involves extruding layer upon layer of concrete to create a desired structure. Layer interfaces can form cold joints, or bond weaknesses, that could compromise structural integrity. Furthermore, the unique characteristics and geometric constraints associated …

Utilising a water-based spraying method to improve 3D printed concrete
Three-dimensional concrete printing (3DCP) is a transformative technology poised to modernise the construction industry, yet its structural application is fundamentally limited by the anisotropic nature of the printed material. The weak interlayer bond strength between successively deposited …

Implementing Continuous Fiber Reinforcement for Concrete Additive Manufacturing
Concrete additive manufacturing is a promising alternative to standard concrete construction, but the inability to print reinforcement as part of the manufacturing process is a significant limitation. This thesis proposes a method of extruding continuous fiber reinforcement during the 3D printing …

Concrete Innovation Museum: A Symphony of Liquid Stone and Light
This thesis explores how diverse concrete construction methods—cast-in-place, precast, concrete blocks, and 3D concrete printing—can be integrated to shape spatial experience, manipulate sunlight, and enrich architectural expression. The project is sited in DuSable Park, a 3.4-acre remediated site …

Aggregate gradation impacts on fresh properties of 3D concrete printing mixtures
3D printed concrete (3DPC) offers potential benefits in construction efficiency, labor reduction, and material optimization, but its widespread adoption is limited by reliance on cement-rich mortar mixes and the lack of standardized mixture design frameworks. Existing literature on 3DPC identifies …

Novel Concrete Reinforcement for Wave Energy Converters
… this study investigates the behaviour of novel concrete reinforcement for the wave energy converters. The reinforcement included fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP), synthetic fibres, steel fibres and ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). 24 cube specimens were tested using a pull-out …

Fresh Mix Properties and Flexural Analysis with Digital Image Correlation of Additively Manufactured Cementitious Materials
Recently, additive manufacturing (AM), or "3D printing," is expanding into civil infrastructure applications, particularly cementitious materials. To ensure the safety, health, and welfare of the public, quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) methods via standardized testing procedures are …

Describing the rheology of vibrated, no-slump concrete for application in 3D-printing construction
Using an automated process like 3D printing in concrete construction could improve safety and performance while decreasing environmental impact and cost. But 3D-printed concrete construction still needs considerable development before it will be reliable. This research addresses the challenge of …
