New mix design for 3D printed mortar incorporating recycled fine aggregate

3D printing for construction is an emerging technology with significant potential to replace conventional formwork-based methods. However, printable mortars remain unsustainable due to the high consumption of cement and natural sand. This study addresses this limitation by developing a novel mix design that simultaneou...
