3D printing workshop at TU Braunschweig as part of Digital Concrete 2024

Braunschweig, September 2nd, 2024: As part of the 4th RILEM International Conference on Concrete and Digital Fabrication, a reinforced component made of Celitement-based concrete was printed at the TU Braunschweig. The Shotcrete 3D Printing (SC3DP) process researched in the SFB Additive Manufacturing in Construction – AMC TRR 277 was used. It was impressively demonstrated that Celitement is also suitable for highly rheologically demanding applications. The workshop was complemented by a lecture on Celitement by Dr. Thomas Neumann (SCHWENK Zement). We would like to thank Robin Dörrie (Institute for Structural Design at TU Braunschweig) for the initiation and successful implementation. We would also like to thank Falk Martin (Beton und Naturstein Babelsberg GmbH) for the development of the concrete mix design and the technological support.

The construction sector is linked in many ways to the problem of the global increase in CO2 emissions. In addition to the emissions that arise during the manufacture of building materials and the of structures (“grey CO2”, “grey energy”), emissions released over the life of the building object must be taken into account.

If you want to find out more about these topics, the majority of us will use Internet search engines such as Google and enter the appropriate search terms.

In this context, most of the search queries apparently relate to the materials area and in particular to the construction materials cement and concrete.

A compilation of the hits for typical search queries on Google for corresponding terms in connection with these two building materials results in the following statistics (as of 11/11/2021):

So there is a particular search for climate-neutral cements and concretes. In the German-speaking area, especially with the attribute “green”, for example “green cement technology” or “green cement start up”. In English, terms like “climate neutral” or “low carbon” have a high number of hits.
