Abstract

3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) requires rapid structural buildup from cementitious mixes for shape retention and three-dimensional layer stacking. Several tests, including gravity-driven, compressive strength, rheometer, and penetrometer tests, are available for assessing printing concrete structural buildup. Among these tests, penetrometer tests stand out due to their cost-effectiveness, portability, shorter testing time, lesser material requirements, and familiarity within the construction industry. However, a critical evaluation of the penetrometer instrument's performance for characterizing structural build-up of printing concrete mixtures is currently lacking in available literature. Keeping in view the literature gap, this study offers a comprehensive overview of four representative penetrometer test methods, including the Vicat needle test, fall cone penetrometer test, discrete-point wise fast penetration test, and continuous-slow penetration test, all utilized for testing a representative stiff and accelerated 3D printing concrete mixtures. This research provides valuable insights into the opportunities and limitations of penetrometer tests in characterizing 3DCP.
