The New World of Concrete

This book compiles research findings focused on high-performance concrete and additive manufacturing, providing readers with targeted research practices and case analyses. The usage of high-performance concrete is growing exponentially, particularly in the design and application of complex structures. However, with the incorporation of reactive minerals, various admixtures, and fibers, research on high-performance concrete has become increasingly fragmented. Moreover, the corresponding mechanisms and principles governing its behavior have not received adequate attention. Against this backdrop, it emphasizes discussions and analyses of high-performance concrete research, especially mechanism studies. The field of printable concrete and its associated mechanical research is equally worthy of exploration, offering highly imaginative means for constructing novel future cities.
