Abstract

The effects of the concave exponential evolution of structuration rate (Athix) with aluminum sulfate-based hydration accelerating admixture on the physical and mechanical properties of concretes for 3D printing were investigated. Three printable concrete mixes were produced. The results showed that Athix did not have major implications on the physical and mechanical properties while using multiple batches for printing. However, it changed the behavior of critical deformation and interlayer adhesion. In some cases, it provided greater compressive strengths and favored physical/chemical interlayer bond, which points to the possibility of increasing the printing window.
