Missouri S&T and Purdue University are pleased to invite you to the upcoming workshop on:
Rheology and 3D Printing of Concrete
August 5 – 7, 2024 │ Missouri S&T, Rolla, MO
This workshop is co-sponsored by the DOT University Transportation Center (DuRe-Transp), based at the University of Texas at Arlington, and the NSF AccelNet 3D Concrete Printing Network (3D Concrete) of Arizona State University
The objective of the workshop is to bring together students and researchers interested in topics of rheology and 3D printing of concrete. Key topics include common rheological models; testing methods for the rheology of cementitious systems; evaluation techniques for 3D printed materials; and use of bio-inspired/ architectured materials in 3D printing. The workshop will feature panel discussions and presentation of case studies related to 3D printing. Presenters include Kamal Khayat from Missouri S&T; and Purdue’s Jan Olek, Dr. Pablo Zavattieri, Dr. Jeffrey Youngblood, Yu Wang, and Szymon Skibicki from West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin, Poland. Representatives of RCAM Technologies and COBOD will highlight case studies related to 3D printing of concrete. The workshop will provide all attendees with the opportunity to actively engage in discussions, share their expertise, and form valuable, long-lasting connections.
