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.

In this paper, three kinds of poly(acrylate-co-methylacrylate) with different number average molecular weight(Mn) were synthesized and studied for the effects on the mechanical properties and the fluidities of the cement mortar admixtured with them. The physical properties of the cement mortar are more favorably enhanced by the poly(acrylate-co-methylacrylate) of Mn,, 5,000 than that of Mn, 2,000∼3,000. And the optimum dosage was decided to ca. 0.6 % of cement weight in cement mortar. However, the dispersion abilities of the polymers in cement mortar was not kept long time. This last result could not be explained by the theory that the fluidity of the cement mortar added with the slow releasing polycarboxylates is kept by the releasing of the carboxylic group of the copolymer in alkaline solution of cement paste.

This study aims at evaluation of the fire resistance performance of cementitious materials for fire protection of tunnel. For this purpose, the research procedure was divided into three parts. First, base mix proportion with different material type were determined by fire test. Second, the fire test of cementitious materials for fire resistance were performed on base mix proportions to evaluated their performance. Third, the performance of cementitious materials for fire resistance compare to the target value and existing commercial products. If the performance of developed cemetitious materials for fire resistance were satisfied the target value, this studies were stopped. But, this research return to first process if the performance of cementitious materials for fire resistance are not satisfied the target value. As a result of this study, the spalling did not happen for develop and existing commercial product. Also, developed cementitious materials for fire resistance are shown with excellent compressive strength, flexural strength, and bond strength, because it used a height density aggregate. And developed cementitious materials has sufficient resistance for fire.

In order to develop urban underground spaces, even microcracks should be reinforced. In this paper, the grouting injection performance for microcracks was investigated considering the viscosity and particle size of the grouting materials, injection pressure, and crack width. There are two types of typical grouting materials used for filling micro-cracks. One is a chemical liquid grouting material which is a solution type and the other is a cementitious grouting material which is a suspension type. The injection performance of the grouting materials for microcracks is generally influenced by the viscosity, and the injection performance of the cementitious grouting material is additionally affected by the particle size. From laboratory tests, the viscosity was calculated inversely to provide a suitable viscosity measurement method for each grouting material. The groutability ratio based on the relationship between the crack width and the particle size was evaluated to estimate the grouting feasibility of the cementitous grouting material through microcracks.

In this study, we prepared a core material based on the inorganic materials in liquid form for applying an inorganic-based core material to a core material for the self-healing capsules as a part of the basic study to manufacture of self-healing capsule that can heal cracks of cementitious composite. Manufactured core material based on the inorganic materials were applied directly to the cement composite before its encapsulation, were evaluated the effect on performance of cementitious composite as wall as repair performance of the cracks in the cracks. The test results showed that core material based on the inorganic materials was effective to improve the compressive and adhesion strength, had an absorption, permeation water, penetration of chloride iones and freeze-thaw resistance performance. Through the results of this paper, we want to utilize the results as a basis data of the performance of the cement composite that can be obtained when applied to inorganic core materials based on self-healing capsules and future advances localized self-healing capsule technology.

The purpose of this study is to investigate experimentally the material strength and tensile deformation behavior of highly ductile high-strength cement composites reinforced by synthetic fibers. Materials and mixture proportions were designed to make composites with a strength level of 80 MPa in compression. Two kinds of polyethylene fibers with different properties were employed as reinforcing fibers. A series of experiments on density, compressive strength, and deformation performance was performed. Experimental results showed that the tensile behavior and cracking patterns of cement composite strongly depends on the types of reinforcing fibers. It was also demonstrated that the cement composite with a compressive strength of 77.7 MPa and a tensile strain capacity of 7.9% can be manufactured by using a proper polyethylene fiber.

Recently, a variety of new cement-based materials have been developed, and attempts to predict the properties of these new materials are increasing. In this study, we aimed to predict the rheological properties of binary blended pastes. The cementitious materials used in the study included Portland cement (PC), fly ash (FA), blast furnace slag (BS), and silica fume (SF). The three binder components, fly ash, blast furnace slag, and silica fume, were blended with cement as the foundational composition. We predicted the yield stress and plastic viscosity of the pastes using the YODEL (Yield stress mODEL) and Krieger-Dougherty's equation. The predictive model's performance was validated by comparing it with experimental results obtained using a rheometer. When the rheological properties of the binary blended paste were predicted by reconstructing the properties and parameters used to predict the individual materials, it was evident that the predictions made using the proposed method closely matched the experimental results.
