About Transforming Waste Into High-Performance 3D Printable Cementitious Composite

The objective of the project Transforming waste into high-performance 3D printable cementitious composite (TRANSITION) is to develop a high-performance cementitious composite which repurposes a large proportion of oil shale ash and is suitable for extrusion-based additive manufacturing (3D printing) of full-scale structural elements and buildings. The main result of the project is a precisely balanced pre-blended mixture of dry components with a reduced environmental impact. When mixed with water, the mixture forms a plastic mass that can be pumped and extruded then it hardens into a rock-like composite with the serviceability required for concrete structures.
