This paper compiles selected predictive analytical and numerical tools which can be used to
model and understand the mechanisms of importance at different stages during and …

Aggregates with realistic non-convex morphologies and their surrounding interfacial
transition zones (ITZs) significantly affect the diffusivity of concrete. Herein, we initially …

Different extrusion systems have been widely used in previous studies, researches on the
influence of nozzle directions and scrapers on properties of 3D printing concrete (3DPC) …

An ability to measure and monitor the rheological characteristics of concrete is important for
3D printing applications. Printable concretes need to have high yield stress and viscosity for …

Granular materials as typical soft matter, their transport properties play significant roles in
durability and service life in relevant practical engineering structures. Physico-mechanical …

The most singular characteristic of pervious concrete is its interconnected porosity that
allows water to flow through at high rates. The objective of this paper is to develop and …

Numerical and experimental study of aggregate blocking in extrusion of mortar is presented.
The studied system consists of a pipe with a nozzle at the tip. Fresh mortar is modeled by …

The most distinguished characteristic of pervious concrete is its connected porosity that
allows water to percolate. And the permeable capacity will decrease rapidly once the …

In this study, a three-dimensional model of a concrete pump truck conveying pipe was
established, and a computational fluid dynamics-discrete element method (CFD-DEM) …

The interface transition zone (ITZ) is the weakest area in the concrete three-phase medium,
which directly affects concrete strength, stiffness, and durability. Because the ITZ has small …
