Abstract
Digital concrete is advancing due to growing economic incentives for construction automation. Achieving more sustainable concrete construction requires carbon reduction, and digital concrete technologies enable material-saving designs. By decoupling production strength from design strength, two-component (2K) systems utilizing aluminate precipitation offer the most flexibility, allowing more sustainable mixes with higher substitution levels. However, 2K aluminate systems are complex and demand a deeper understanding of their chemistry and strength buildup. This article reviews the basics of 2K aluminate systems, specifically aluminum sulfate-based and calcium aluminate cement/calcium sulfate-based systems, and their use in an inline active mixing reactor. An example reaction engineering analysis predicts the degree of reaction in a given reactor design, relating it to yield stress. The two chemical systems are compared, and future research recommendations are provided.
