Comparative Study About Mechanical Properties of Strutural Standard Concrete and Concrete with Addition of Vegetable Fibers [PDF]
Materials Research, 2017 This paper explored the effect of adding organic fibers from either bamboo or sugarcane on the mechanical properties of concrete. Cylindrical and prismatic specimens were made containing 2% and 5% v/w (volume to weight) of vegetable fibers to concrete.

Assessment of Printability of Concrete based on Packing of Aggregates [PDF]
The fluidity of concrete is a key parameter that determines the printability of the mixture in an extrusion-based printing process. The printability of concrete is influenced by the relative proportions of aggregate and paste, paste rheology and the ...

Advancements in sustainability of 3D concrete printing: Presenting low-carbon mixtures for additively manufactured concrete structures in practice [PDF]
3D concrete printing (3DCP) is regarded as an environmentally friendly construction technique with minimum waste generation. However, challenges persist, particularly in the composition of 3D printable concrete mixtures. The need for specific rheological

Enhancing Sustainable Concrete Properties by Green Vegetable Substance
International Journal of Engineering and Technology, 2018 From several points of view, disposal of waste materials in an environment is respected to be a significant problem because of its very low biodegradability and existence in huge quantities. Waste of plastic and metal bottles caps, cans of juices and soft drink, and tires rubber being among the most pronounced.

Rheological Modifiers in Optimizing Quick Nozzle Mixing Technology for 3D Concrete Printing [PDF]
Quickly mixing concrete at or near the printing nozzle is a new technique developed by the authors to improve 3D concrete printing technology. Quick nozzle mixing (QNM) solves the inherent problem in 3D concrete printing due to the opposing rheological ...
