| Yhteenveto: | 3D concrete printing is gaining ground in the construction industry. In
concrete printing, fresh concrete layers are deposited layer by layer manner like fused
deposition modelling process following a computer-aided design (CAD) model. The
structural capacity of the printed part mainly depends on the bond strength between the
old substrate and new overlaid concrete. Hence, it is essential to measure the inter layer
bond strength and its influencing parameters. In this paper, a novel geopolymer ink is
considered as reference material, that exhibits thixotropic property, suitable for 3D
printing application. The said geopolymer thixotropic build up rate was altered by adding
slag in two different percentages. From the experimental outcomes, it was found that,
rapid structural build-up and long delay time can cause poor bonding in the interface
properties of the printed structure. This delay time depends strongly on the thixotropic
behavior, the thickness of the layers and roughness of the interface between the two
layers. |
