Abstract
3D printing techniques have been recently adopted in the construction industry. It mainly utilizes additive manufacturing which is the fabrication process depositing successive layers of materials without any formworks. Conventional cementitious materials may not be directly applicable to 3D printing because 3D printable cementitious materials is required to satisfy such characteristics as pumpability, extrudability, and buildability in a fresh state. This study aimed to investigate rheological properties and required performances of 3D printable cementitious materials, by reviewing existing studies. Test methods and equipments, evaluation results and characteristics of mixture additives were compared. Based on reviews of existing studies, this study indicates that the viscosity is mainly relevant to the pumpability of 3D printable materials whereas the yield stress and thixotropy are important in securing buildability of the materials.
