3D Printing of Concrete

3D printing (or additive manufacturing) of concrete has opened new possibilities for automated, efficient, and design-flexible construction. This book brings together contributions from leading experts worldwide to present the scientific foundations and emerging applications of 3D-printed concrete, covering its properties, materials, modeling, and selected case studies from construction practice.

This book reviews the fresh and hardened properties of 3D-printed concrete, as well as existing reinforcement strategies; discusses novel printable materials and mixture design approaches for improved sustainability and performance; presents advances in computational modeling and artificial intelligence technologies; and examines recent construction applications and future opportunities.

This book is primarily intended for researchers and professionals working in concrete materials, additive manufacturing, and digital construction.
