Abstract

A novel shear test method on shear bond behavior of 3D printed interlayer interfaces and interstrip interfaces was proposed in this study. Thereafter, the effect of different replacement ratios of recycled sand, printing intervals, and surface treatments were investigated. The test results showed that under the same printing condition, the interfacial shear strengths of interlayer interface and interstrip interface were similar to each other. The interfacial shear strength slightly decreased with the increase of the replacement ratio of recycled sand, while it sharply decreased with the extension of printing interval time. The interfaces in 3D printed recycled mortar had higher time sensitivity compared with 3D printed natural mortar. Considering that discontinuous construction will introduce inferior interfaces in 3D printed concrete components, effective surface treatments should be conducted. According to the test results, the improvement effect of surface treatments was epoxy paste > cement paste > surface wetting > no treatment.
