Agricultural Waste Applied to Mortar and Its Potential for 3d Concrete Printing
摘要
The cement industry is responsible for global CO₂ emissions of between 7% and 8% annually, as well as consuming large amounts of energy and relying on the intensive extraction of raw materials for production. The extensive exploitation of essential natural resources, such as sand, contributes to environmental degradation. To mitigate these impacts, there is a need for more sustainable alternatives; this research will investigate agricultural waste. Among these possibilities, the use of agricultural waste, which also poses environmental risks due to improper disposal, has excellent potential. As well as mitigating environmental impacts and being able to replace materials or incorporate them into the mix. Although there are already studies on the use of agricultural waste in mortars, few refer to the use of this waste in conjunction with 3D printing in concrete (3DCP) technology. 3DCP has established itself as an innovative technology with a strong technological, sustainable and social appeal, positioning itself as an ally to the construction industry in mitigating impacts. This work aims to compile information from studies on agricultural waste in cementitious matrices, analysing its potential for application in 3D printing in concrete.
