Inspired by nature, this study employed the Bouligand structures, as observed in the dactyl
club of mantis shrimp, to enhance the performance of 3D-printed Strain-Hardening …

Abstract Strain-Hardening Cementitious Composites (SHCC) have gained widespread
attention as self-reinforcing materials in 3D concrete printing. Meanwhile, owing to the layer …

Abstract Strain-Hardening Cementitious Composites (SHCC) have demonstrated superior
mechanical performance, which could potentially solve the challenges of adding …

3D concrete printing (3DCP) has limitations in weak interlayer bond strength and
reinforcement integration. To tackle these challenges, this study aims to develop and deposit …

Automatically adding or even printing steel reinforcements into a 3D-printed concrete
structure is antithetical to the design freedom as well as construction ease and efficiency …

Engineered cementitious composites (ECC), as a self-reinforcing material featuring the
characteristic of multiple cracking and strain hardening, provides a feasible solution to …

This study used a novel eco-friendly lightweight sand fine (LSF) to prepare green lightweight
and high-strength ECC (GLH-ECC) for 3D printing. Orthogonal design, analysis of variance …

Conventional concrete structures often rely on labor-intensive and wasteful formwork
systems. In contrast, 3D concrete printing (3DCP) technology offers a more efficient …

In the present work, mortar beams reinforced with polymeric reinforcing elements are
manufactured using Polylactic acid (PLA), inspired by crack propagation deflecting …

While interest in 3D printing of concrete (3DCP) and structures has been growing, a major
obstacle for implementation of 3DP construction method is the need for steel reinforcement …
