Concrete is the second frequently used material in our planet. Being the most consumed construction material for infrastructures and buildings, the demand for concrete is very high at present and expected to have the same significance in the future. On the other hand, conventional concrete could not be considered as an environmentally friendly construction material. This comes from the perspectives of reducing natural resources, high energy consumption, and produce a huge amounts of construction waste. 3D printing construction with earth materials provide the potential solutions to reshape the construction world and answering the current demands of sustainability, energy efficiency and cost in construction. This paper presents a review of 3D printed constructions made from earth materials benefits, limitations and current applications.

Digital production has been applied in many branches of the industry; however, the construction industry was an exception. Applying this new technology could help to reshape the construction world as we know it today. Using 3D printing technologies in construction offers significant potential to increase efficiency in terms of speed construction, waste reduction, design freedom, reduce human error as well as green building construction materials. In the current research, the authors review the structural and non-structural applications of the 3D concrete printing, as well as the potential applications, challenges, and possible solutions, respectively.

Re-life of aged load-bearing structures may be more efficient and economical than complete re-building. Nowadays, the strengthening of an RC structure can be designed using non-linear FE analysis, taking a realistic structural behaviour into account. Within the current article, this process is demonstrated in connection with the strengthening of a monolithic RC slab. The slab must be strengthened due to a change of function which increases live load. To ensure satisfactory operation in SLS for increased load, the flexural strengthening of the slab by CFRP strips and bonded steel plates was considered. Static verification of the slab for original and increased loads is performed by linear FE analysis. The load-bearing capacities of the original and the strengthened slabs are also determined by non-linear FE calculation. A comparative analysis of the results highlights the effectiveness of different strengthening methods in increasing the stiffness and SLS capacity of the slab. To perform real-time monitoring of the slab in question, an SHM system is also suggested with the installation of three different types of sensors. This system increases the safety of operation and reduces future maintenance and strengthening costs.

The 3D printing technologies have been initially developed in the 1980s. Currently, these technologies have become an integral part of modern product development and have been successfully applied in a wide range of industries including automotive manufacturing, biomedical, consumer, food, and construction. Since material efficiency is becoming a critical design driver in the construction industry, many strategies for improving material efficiency have been developed such as recycling materials, reusing components, reducing waste, extending life spans, etc. Furthermore, in the design phases, there are different design models that reduce the use of materials such as hollow‐core and pre‐stressing construction systems, or by applying concept of Topological Optimization. Topology optimization is a design method used in 3D printing technologies to reduce material without affecting the functionality of an object.

This review paper provides a report on the up-to-date research on the 3D printing technology for the concrete in terms of materials. It reviews the required characteristics of concrete rheology, printing process and discusses the challenges for reaching compatible mix proportions using eco-friendly binders, aggregate, and chemical admixtures. The recent research on the durability behaviour of 3D printed concrete needs future research and identification.

The extremal distribution is noteworthy because, unlike the normal distribution (Gaussian distribution) and t-distribution (Student distribution) prevalent in engineering, it is generally asymmetric, and therefore is well suited for modeling the actual compressive strength distribution of concrete.

As possible failure criteria MC2010 refers to those of Rankine, Drucker-Prager and Mohr-Coulomb, respectively, and to modifications or combinations of them. After a brief overview of these failure criteria the characteristics of Mohr-circle are described. Next chapter discusses why the Modified Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion fails in case of concrete. Displaying the Mohr-circles of different bi- and triaxial test series reveal that neither the straight nor the parabolic failure criteria fit. The failure patterns of uniaxial compressive and tensile test specimens prove that concrete fails due to principal tensile stresses/strains in separation and concrete is not a frictional material. The proposed Extended Rankine failure criteria are based directly on the principal stresses. The criteria limit the greatest- and the actual smallest principal stress, respectively. This latter is function of the two other principal stresses. It is shown that the Ultimate Strength Surface cannot be properly described as stated by CEB Bulletin Nr. 156.
