Funded Activity Summary

Investigating the Pumpability and Extrudability of Concrete for 3D Printing. The project aims to develop a new rheological model for 3D printable concrete for construction. 3D concrete printing is an innovative and promising construction technique, but the main impediment to progress is lack of suitable material technology. In this study, a new stress and time dependent flow model will be formulated and implemented as a computational model. The model will facilitate the study of the effect of different concrete formulations, pumping and printer parameters on the primary printing properties, namely, pumpability, extrudability and buildability. The new model will also enable active control and modification of rheological parameters on-the-fly during large-scale printing, which is not currently possible.
