Development and Performance Evaluation of Fibrous Pseudoplastic Quaternary Cement Systems for Aerial Additive Manufacturing
Aerial additive manufacturing (AAM) represents a paradigm shift in using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs, often called ‘drones’) in the construction industry, using self-powered and untethered UAVs to extrude structural cementitious material. This requires miniaturisation of the deposition system. Rheological properties and known hydration times are important material parameters. Calcium aluminate cement (CAC) systems can be advantageous over purely ordinary Portland cement (OPC) binders as they promote hydration and increase early strength. A quaternary OPC/pulverised fuel ash (PFA)/CAC/calcium sulphate (CS) system was combined with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibres and pseudoplastic hydrocolloids to develop a novel AAM material for miniaturised deposition. CAC hydration is affected by environmental temperature. Intending material to be extruded in situ, mixes were tested at multiple temperatures. OPC/PFA/CAC/CS mixes with PVA fibres were successfully extruded with densities of ≈1700 kg/m, yield stresses of 1.1–1.3 kPa and a compressive strength of 25 MPa. Pseudoplastic OPC/PFA/CAC/CS quaternary cementitious systems are demonstrated to be viable for AAM, provided mixes are modified with retarders as temperature increases. This study can significantly impact industry by demonstrating structural material which can be extruded using UAVs in challenging or elevated in situ construction, reducing safety risks.
