Abstract

Previous research has shown that the material properties of a three-dimensional printed strain hardening cementitious composite (3DP-SHCC) can significantly vary, depending on the printing system with which it is produced. However, limited research has been performed on the reproducibility of hardened mechanical properties under identical printing conditions. In this study, the consistency of hardened properties, including compressive strength, flexural strength and deflection, and tensile strength and strain, was tested from materials printed during three separate but identical printing sessions. The research shows that with 3DP-SHCC, significant variations in mechanical properties between printing sessions can be expected.
