This study investigated the effect of nano-CaCO3 content on the hardness (H) and Young’s modulus (E) at the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) surrounding fibers and ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). Nano-CaCO3 was incorporated at varying contents from 1% to 4% by weight of cement.

This study evaluates the three-dimensional (3D) printing materials used in Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printing technology. 3D printing technology has been developing strongly, becoming an effective support tool in production and research.

The results of ultrasonic wave propagation experiments indicated that the presence of steel fibers at a 2% content increased the time of wave propagation. On the other hand, curing conditions, specimen maintenance time, and transmission path distance affected the ultrasonic wave propagation time in high-strength concrete.

Once the mechanical properties of printed TPU are characterised, a novel, low cost, and environmentally friendly method for concrete casting using printed TPU moulds is proposed in this thesis. Additively manufactured TPU mould is developed to cast complex concrete structures. A planar topologically optimized cantilever and a free-form 3D column are cast using the proposed TPU mould. Good surface quality is obtained for the cast concrete elements, and the moulds can be reused many times after cleaning.

One of the main objectives for this thesis is to provide an extensive literature review on the knowledge of the failure of trees in general and specifically Eucalyptus. By doing so, gaps in the literature and research will be revealed and then the remaining objectives will be selected experimental work filling the gaps for Eucalypts.

Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) is a multiple-composite material developed during the early 1970s. In SFRC, short steel fibers are randomly distributed in concrete. Steel fibers can prevent the development of micro-cracks inside the concrete and reduce the expansion and development of the macro-cracks, thus enhance mechanical performance of SFRC. However, there is lack of studies on the influence of flowability of fresh SFRC on the steel fiber distribution patterns and mechanical properties of hardened SFRC. In this research, steel fibers made by the thin-plate shearing method are used. Standard specimens are cast in which steel fibers are added to the concrete mix. The slumps ranging from 80 mm to 200 mm are employed as the parameter to reflect the flowability of SFRC.

This research investigates a means of negating such shortcomings and reaping the benefits of both LPBF additive manufacturing and traditional manufacturing methods by joining such parts together using laser welding in the autogenous mode (no fillers required). Based on the literature review conducted in this field and the gaps identified, a two-stage methodology was utilised, as per following.

Once the mechanical properties of printed TPU are characterised, a novel, low cost, and environmentally friendly method for concrete casting using printed TPU moulds is proposed in this thesis. The findings of this thesis will provide clear guidelines for the selection of processing parameters for additively manufactured TPU parts and the method of casting complicated concrete structures with additively manufactured TPU mould.
