3D Printed Concrete: Curing Regimes, Environmental Stressors, and Sustainable Performance offers a concise and practical synthesis of emerging innovations in 3D printed concrete, covering its thermal degradation, early-age strength prediction, CO2 curing, and recycled material utilization. The book provides a fundamental understanding of the material and its manufacturing process, as well as insight into optimizing 3D printed concrete for sustainability and durability under real world conditions. Uniquely focusing on the integration of mechanical performance, environmental exposure, and carbon reduction strategies, readers will come away with a better understanding of the physical and chemical mechanisms affecting printed concrete under heat and moisture exposure, the ability to implement maturity models and predictive tools for early-age strength and printing schedule control, and the knowledge to apply CO2 curing and recycled fine aggregates in order to reduce emissions and enhance structural performance. Materials and mix-design requirements and the effects of printing parameters on quality are each covered as well.Provides a concise, practical synthesis of 3D printed concrete, covering its thermal degradation, early-age strength prediction, CO2 curing, and recycled material utilizationPresents simplified maturity models and regression-based strength prediction equations for application in design, quality control, and digital construction workflowsCovers mechanics-based insight into environmental effects, including high-temperature degradation, anisotropic behavior, and moisture temperature coupled strength developmentOutlines sustainability-driven design solutions, such as approaches for using CO2 curing and pretreated recycled fine aggregates to enhance strength and reduce the carbon footprint
