The fiber orientation in 3DP-UHPC was investigated by X-ray computed tomography technology (X-CT) to validate the prediction model. Results indicate that the flow field in 3DP-UHPC comprises two distinct zones: a low-velocity gradient plug flow region, which minimally impacts fiber rotation, and a high-velocity gradient shear flow region which significantly affects fiber alignment. By reducing the viscosity of UHPC and increasing the extrusion speed, the velocity gradients in both zones are enhanced, optimizing fiber alignment in the printing direction. Based on the Jeffery equation, the velocity gradient coefficient is introduced to establish the relationship between velocity gradient and fiber rotation angle in different nozzle areas, thereby refining the previously proposed fiber orientation prediction model, and effectively controlling the relative error of fiber orientation coefficient to within 6 %.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":266,"journal":{"name":"Cement and Concrete Research","volume":"198 ","pages":"Article 108011"},"PeriodicalIF":13.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144827116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Complementary microstructural analyses included mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), N₂ adsorption, saturation degree, pore-connectivity factor, and water-accessible porosity. For non‑carbonated mortars, no generalized correlation was found between transport properties and microstructure due to the varying effects of different SCMs on critical/threshold pore diameter, pore-connectivity, and pore surface/solution interaction with transporting media. However, incorporating material coefficients (based on transport mechanism) alongside porosity resulted in a strong correlation across different mixes. After carbonation, low-clinker binders exhibited increased transport due to coarsened pore structures, higher connectivity, and reduced interaction of transporting media with pore surface/solution. Furthermore, a generalized correlation was found between mass transport properties and microstructural parameters in carbonated mortars across all mass transport mechanisms, indicating that microstructural differences from SCMs addition diminish after carbonation. Carbonation results in homogenizing key features such as hygroscopicity and pore surface/solution interaction with transporting media.
