Three Dimensional (3D) concrete printing is a unique construction technique that uses robots to print and build a structure layer-by-layer comparatively faster. There are special requirements for the concrete used in 3D printing applications.
This research intends to improve the fresh properties of concrete used in 3D printing construction applications addressing the unique requirements. The research findings contribute to improving the method for large-scale construction applications. Hence, a perfect solution for rapid and affordable housing in the future. Also, it would be beneficial to build houses in less accessible remote areas.
