Low-carbon cementitious composite incorporated with biochar and recycled fines suitable for 3D printing applications: hydration, shrinkage and early-age performance by Karol Federowicz, Krzysztof Cendrowski, Paweł Sikora

“…A reference mix (REF) was established, followed by the development of eight additional mixes, with four incorporating biochar and four incorporating recycled fines, each replacing 1.25%, 2.5%, 5%, and 10% of the cement volume. The findings indicate that recycled fines have a neutral effect on the spread flow diameter of the mixture but increase initial deformations in printed elements. …”
