This work aims at evaluating the anisotropy (direction-dependency) in terms of mechanical
performance and bonding properties of entirely construction and demolition waste (CDW) …

This study investigated the bond performance of printed construction and demolition wastes
(CDW)-based geopolymer, providing utilization of CDW in green materials through high tech …

Nature has developed numerous design motifs by arranging modest materials into complex
architectures. The damage-tolerant, double-bouligand architecture found in the coelacanth …

Microstructural phases and mechanical properties of lamellar 3D-printed and cast hardened
cement paste (hcp) elements were investigated using a lab-based X-ray microscope at two …

This paper investigates the spatial characteristics of microstructural phases in relation to the
fracture toughness in Mode-I/II and transport behavior in two orthogonal directions of …

This study uses neutron radiography to evaluate the drying of printed cement paste samples
containing cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). CNCs have previously been used in printed …

This paper presents the mechanical properties of composite beams additively manufactured
by 3D-printing of layers of mortar on top of custom-designed (also 3D-printed) steel plates …

Enhancing fracture toughness and ductility of brittle materials such as concrete remains a
challenge. Nature offers numerous mechanisms to enhance fracture toughness using …

This paper presents perspectives and progress in the emerging field of architected
infrastructure materials. Recent developments in advanced and additive manufacturing with …

Layer-by-layer additive manufacturing (AM) of cement-based elements requires an
understanding of the fresh-state characteristics of the materials. The focus of this work was …
