Disclosed is settlement substrate for oyster technology, and, in particular, the present disclosure relates to a concrete settlement substrate for oyster and a preparation method thereof, and a construction method. The concrete settlement substrate for oyster has the characteristics of induction of rapid settlement and metamorphosis of sessile organisms thereto, promotion of long-term growth and good durability, and the oysters are settled on a surface of concrete. A reasonable spatial layout is utilized, such that each concrete pile (block) can effectively break waves and ensure smooth exchange between water bodies on two sides. After oysters settled to each concrete pile (block) breed a large amount, the water bodies can be purified, and the ecological environment in the surrounding sea area can be improved.

The invention relates to a method for layer-by-layer deposition of concrete by providing extrudable concrete. A first flow comprising a binder material and water and a second flow comprising a carrier material, an additional component and water are mixed in a static mixer to form a third flow of extrudable concrete. The material of the second flow has a shorter initial setting time than the material of the first flow. The first flow has a first viscosity V1 and the second flow has a second viscosity V2 so that the ratio V1/V2 ranges between 1/40 and 40. The third flow has a viscosity larger than the viscosity of the first flow and the second flow and a yield stress larger than the yield stress of the first flow and the second flow. The material of the third flow has an initial setting time shorter than initial setting time of the first flow.

The invention further relates to a system to extrude concrete, in particular for layer-by-layer deposition of concrete.
