Investigating the Rheological Properties of Ultra High Strength Concrete Made with Various Superplasticizers [PDF]
Ultra-High Strength Concrete (UHSC) is a high-strength and highly ductile material formulated to provide compressive strengths exceeding 130MPa. UHSC materials typically have a very low water-to-cementitious ratio (w/cm), which requires the use of ...

Enhancing printability of 3D printed concrete by using metakaolin and silica fume
Abstract This study investigates the effects of incorporating metakaolin (MK) and silica fume (SF) on the fresh and hardened properties of 3D printed concrete (3DPC). Five mix designs were prepared with MK replacement levels of 0%, 10%, 12.5%, and 15%, along with one mix containing 10% MK and 5% SF.
