Structural application of 3D concrete printing

3D concrete printing technology enabled a new progress in industrialization, optimization and automatization of processes in contemporary construction works. This paper shows the commonly used methods of concrete 3D printing. Advantages, disadvantages and perspectives for further development of this technology are emphasized. Structural applications as an example of using this technology are shown. The analysis of existing knowledge about the influence of deterioration mechanisms on printed concrete was made. Evaluation of 3D concrete printing technology in terms of different aspect of sustainability has been done
