3D Printing System for Vertical Construction

BACKGROUND Most 3D printing systems sequentially apply their layers from above. Such systems have distinct challenges when creating vertically reinforced concrete structures such as walls or columns. Most vertical reinforced concrete structures contain reinforcing bars that give the structure strength after the concrete has cracked. It is possible...

Real Time Measurement of Moisture and Hydration of Concrete

BACKGROUND Concrete derives its strength from calcium silicate hydrate, a product of the hydration reaction that takes place when water is mixed with cement. A process known as curing, which involves providing continuous moisture and maintaining or providing heat to the concrete mixture, promotes the formation of calcium silicate hydrate. Curing conditions...
