Abstract

The efficiency of 3D concrete printing significantly depends on the mortar performance, which can be improved and controlled by adding a shotcrete accelerator. This targeted control is implemented by adding a small accelerator dose to an injection nozzle before extrusion. In this article, a study is conducted on the suitability of the material for this application. For this purpose, a shotcrete accelerated printable mortar is investigated. Comparing physical and physicochemical results leads to an in-depth understanding of the chemical processes and their effects on physical behaviour, which enables a positive assessment of the accelerator for 3D concrete printing injection method.
