Abstract
This study investigates the use of incinerator bottom ash (IBA) as a supplementary cementitious material to mitigate early age shrinkage in 3D printed engineered cementitious composites (3DP-ECC). IBA was processed through milling and thermal treatment before incorporation into 3DP-ECC. The fresh and hardened properties, hydration kinetics and products, early age shrinkage, and microstructural characteristics of 3DP-ECC with IBA were evaluated. Results indicate that pre-treated IBA reduces autogenous shrinkage and plastic shrinkage by 56 % and 30 %, respectively. The substitution of IBA increases the volume fraction of macropores (>1000 nm) of 3DP-ECC at 3 days and 7 days by approximately 300 % and 500 %, respectively, alleviating early age shrinkage. Sustainability analysis reveals that the incorporation of IBA can reduce the normalized embodied energy and carbon footprint of 3DP-ECC by over 17 %. These findings provide a promising approach to utilizing waste materials in mitigating early age shrinkage in 3DP-ECC towards sustainable digital construction.
期刊介绍:
Cement & concrete composites focuses on advancements in cement-concrete composite technology and the production, use, and performance of cement-based construction materials. It covers a wide range of materials, including fiber-reinforced composites, polymer composites, ferrocement, and those incorporating special aggregates or waste materials. Major themes include microstructure, material properties, testing, durability, mechanics, modeling, design, fabrication, and practical applications. The journal welcomes papers on structural behavior, field studies, repair and maintenance, serviceability, and sustainability. It aims to enhance understanding, provide a platform for unconventional materials, promote low-cost energy-saving materials, and bridge the gap between materials science, engineering, and construction. Special issues on emerging topics are also published to encourage collaboration between materials scientists, engineers, designers, and fabricators.
