Chen, Y. (author), Rahmani, Hossein (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author)The implementation of extrusion-based 3D concrete printing (3DCP) in large-scale constructions is currently limited by concerns regarding rheology control and the sustainability of this process. To address these issues, this study presents an approach to develop limestone-calcined clay-based cementitious (LC3) materials accelerated by Ca(NO...journal article 2023

Chen, Y. (author), Zhang, Y. (author), He, S. (author), Liang, X. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author)In 3D concrete printing, fast structuration is a prerequisite for ideal buildability. This paper aims to study the impact of inorganic additives, i.e., CaCl<sub>2</sub> and gypsum, on structural build-up and very early-age hydration of limestone-calcined clay-cement (LC3) pastes within the first 70–80 min. Results show that, increasing the...journal article 2023

Pluymakers, Anne (author), Bakker, R.R. (author), Ter Steege, F.B. (author), Versluis, B. (author), Barnhoorn, A. (author)Many rocks contain planar heterogeneities, in the form of open fractures, veins and/or stylolites, but scarce data exist on how strength and fracture pattern formation is affected by the presence of a singular planar heterogeneity in an otherwise uniform matrix. The mechanics of stylolite-bearing and/or fractured limestone is of interest to...journal article 2023

(author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author)Autogenous shrinkage may be a critical issue concerning the use of limestone-calcined clay-cement (LC3) in high-performance concrete and 3D printable cementitious materials, which have relatively low water to binder (W/B) ratio. Adding an internal curing agent, i.e., superabsorbent polymer (SAP), could be a viable solution in this context....journal article 2023

(author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author)Limestone-calcined clay-cement (LC3), as one of the most promising sustainable cements, has been under development over the past decade. However, many uncertainties remain regarding its rheological behaviors, such as the metakaolin content of calcined clay. This study aims to investigate the effect of increasing the content of fine-grained...journal article 2023

Chen, Y. (author), Zhang, Y. (author), Šavija, B. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author)Formulation of quaternary blended system containing ordinary Portland cement or clinker, slag, limestone and calcined clay (LC2) appeared to be a viable approach to developing low-clinker cements without severely sacrificing mechanical performance at later ages. This paper investigates the effect of two material parameters, i.e., LC2-to-slag...journal article 2023

Chen, Y. (author)Extrusion-based 3D concrete printing (3DCP), as one of the emerging techniques, has received considerable attention from both academia and industry, due to its numerous benefits for concrete construction, through enhancing the freedom of architectural design, eliminating formwork, optimizing material use, and decreasing wastes, labors and costs....doctoral thesis 2021

(author)In 3D concrete printing (3DCP), it is necessary to meet contradicting rheological requirements: high fluidity during pumping and extrusion, and high stability and viscosity at rest to build the layered structure. In this paper, the impact of the hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)-based viscosity-modifying admixture (VMA) on the 3D printability...journal article 2020

Chen, Y. (author), Yalçinkaya, Ç. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Recently, our group attempted to develop the ternary blended (Portland cement, calcined clay and limestone) cementitious material for 3D concrete printing (3DCP). Due to the elimination of formwork during the layer-by-layer casting process, the printed material should have favorable elastic properties and green strength at the fresh state. A...conference paper 2019
