ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | 3D concrete printing (3DCP) has several benefits in terms of reduction in construction cost, time and waste. Complex geometries can be attained which allows for structural optimization of structures. Currently, there are no standards for the design of 3D printed concrete structures. For 3DCP to be widely used in the construction industry and to reap its benefits, there is a need to study mechanical properties of 3D printed concrete. Currently, 3DCP generally manufactures concrete elements in modular components. Precast concrete is similar to 3D printed concrete in the aspect that modular components are assembled on site to build the structure. Therefore, it is crucial to study the mechanical behavior of 3D printed concrete joints. A type of joint that was traditionally manufactured by cast in-situ concrete and later commonly manufactured by precast technology is concrete shear key joints in segmental bridges. Analogous to 3D printed concrete joints, the mechanical behavior of precast concrete shear keys was studied extensively, and standards were developed before precast technology is accepted as a construction method for segmental bridges. Therefore, the concrete shear key joint is an excellent type of joint to be used for studying the mechanical behavior of 3D printed concrete. In this study, concrete shear keys were designed and manufactured by 3DCP with different joint inclination angles. Slant shear tests were carried out in the specimens to study the failure mode and to obtain shear capacity values. The experimentally obtained values are then compared with values from current prediction models. | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/221317 |
