On the emergence of 3D printable Engineered, Strain Hardening Cementitious Composites (ECC/SHCC)

While interest in 3D printing of concrete (3DCP) and structures has been growing, a major obstacle for implementation of 3DP construction method is the need for steel reinforcement and the challenges this presents to the 3DP process. Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC), also known as Strain-hardening Cement-based Composites (SHCC), hold promise to attain structural integrity, durability, reliability and robustness without steel...
