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.

Abstract An analytical framework suited for the analysis of shear‐critical ultra‐high performance concrete (UHPC) members is presented. The numerical methodology utilizes a nonlinear finite element analysis formulation integrated with an artificial neural network (ANN) that characterizes the UHPC tension response based on its mix design. In addition, a

Abstract A total of four reinforced concrete (RC) columns were tested to compare the structural capacities of RC columns produced by natural perlite aggregates and conventional concrete. The structural performance of the RC columns made from natural perlite aggregates was compared to conventional RC columns regarding the same concrete strength levels ...

Abstract Fiber addition is a common strategy to enhance concrete's durability, avoiding cracks and reducing penetration of harmful agents. In this research, a sustainable fiber‐like material obtained from mechanical recycling of dismantled wind‐turbine blades and made up of glass fiber‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) fibers and microfibers, balsa wood, and ...

Abstract Whether concrete structures are cracked, how wide these cracks are, and whether they must be regarded as damaging, is a central issue in structural health monitoring. Ultrasonic measurements evaluated with the sensitive Coda Wave Interferometry (CWI) have the potential to detect cracks early—long before they become visible. This paper presents
