Abstract

The construction industry is likely to undergo considerable changes in order to enhance its productivity, optimize material usage, and improve workmanship. In the recent few decades, various automation technologies like 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) have been introduced in the construction industry to automate the construction process. 3D Concrete Printing is an emerging method that can be used for fabricating the building and building components straight from a digital model into consecutive layers devoid of the use of any temporary supports or subsequent vibration. It is necessary to examine the existing processes, potentials, and limitations associated with 3DCP, and identify future research aspects to understand its applications in the construction industry. The primary goal of this study is to summarize the previous works of literature from both technical and non-technical aspects. Hence, this article provides a state-of-the-art analysis of recent accomplishments in the field of 3D printing of civil structures and construction components as well as recommendations for future research.
