A printing method forms a continuous strand of building material for 3D printing of a structural part via a printing system. The printing system has a printing apparatus that dispenses building material out of the printing apparatus and shapes building material to form a strand of building material, and a discontinuous building material pump that discontinuously conveys building material for discontinuously dispensing conveyed building material out of the printing apparatus. The printing method includes the steps of: a) discontinuously conveying building material via the discontinuous building material pump and discontinuously dispensing conveyed building material out of the printing apparatus and shaping conveyed building material via the printing apparatus, and b) discontinuously moving the printing apparatus during the discontinuous conveying and the discontinuous dispensing such that the dispensed and shaped building material forms a continuous strand of building material.

A device that compensates for abrupt variations in fluid flow rate for a pump line is described. One or more aspects pertain to a system to accomplish automated in-situ placement of a concrete wall or embankment, where a fluid concrete is pumped into place, consolidated, and screeded to a finished surface, with remotely controlled or automated equipment.

A 3D printable clay-based mortar cementitious ink includes a blend of commercially available Type I/II Portland cement, and a fine and coarse silica sand. The ratio of Portland cement to fine sand or fine clay, may be approximately 1.02. The ratio of water-to-binder (Portland cement and SCM) may be approximately 0.55, and the ratio of water-to-powder (binder plus fine clay smaller than 75 microns) can be approximately 0.416. Included with the water and binder/powder mix is an admixture. According to one embodiment, the admixture can include a water reducing admixture, or plasticizer. The fine clay within the aggregate material is unprocessed, and the binder material is approximately 84 to 90 percent cement and 10 to 16 percent SCM. The unprocessed clay, or fine sand, does not undergo any heating, any chemical modification or sifting before being added to the aggregate material.

A large manipulator includes an articulated boom that can be folded out. The articulated boom includes boom segments including a last boom segment having a boom tip. The articulated boom includes an end hose and end-hose holder. The end hose is flexible, arranged on the last boom segment, and can be removably coupled to the last boom segment by the end-hose holder. The end-hose holder includes a holding bracket arranged on the last boom segment. The holding bracket is configured to be pivotable into a first pivot position, a second pivot position, and a third pivot position relative to the last boom segment.

In a sectional-type high wear-resistant double-layer straight tube and a method for preparing the same, the double-layer straight tube includes a protective outer tube and a sectional-type wear-resistant inner tube. The protective outer tube is nested outside of the sectional-type wear-resistant inner tube; the sectional-type wear-resistant inner tube includes at least two wear-resistant inner tube sections; and the wear-resistant inner tube sections are connected sequentially. The sectional-type wear-resistant inner tube at least includes a left inner tube section, a right inner tube section, and one or more middle inner tube section. The wear-resistant straight tube can greatly prolong the service life of the pipeline so that the cost performance of the pipeline is increased by more than a few times. It would also easily achieve mass production, the quality is stable and reliable, and the safety performance is high.

A method produces a part of a building. The part of a building has at least one first region and one second region, which adjoins the first region. In the first region, an installation structure is concealed by building material. The method includes the following steps: a) dispensing building material to produce the first region and providing the building material with a marking substance before, at the same time as, and/or after the dispensing operation, and b) dispensing building material to produce the second region.

A method and an apparatus for producing a concrete component, comprising concrete and a textile reinforcement composed of a reinforcement fiber strand (28), wherein first a yarn (20) is saturated with a mineral suspension (35) and forms the at least one reinforcement fiber strand (28). According to the invention, the reinforcement fiber strand (28) is fed by means of a moving device, so that the reinforcement fiber strand (28) is placed in a concrete strand (4), placed on a concrete layer (2), or placed on a vertical side surface of a plurality of concrete layers placed on top of each other, so that a perpendicular reinforcement is produced when arranged on the outside, and wherein the reinforcement fiber strand (28) is further enclosed by the concrete immediately upon placement or subsequently before the mineral suspension (35) has cured. The invention also relates to a reinforced concrete component (1).

An extruder apparatus for the extrusion of a strand of building material for 3D printing of a structural part includes an extruder nozzle and at least one inner element. The extruder nozzle has a discharge opening for the discharge of the strand of building material out of the extruder apparatus. The at least one inner element is designed for arrangement within the extruder nozzle for purposes of defining an inner edge of a flow cross section of building material within the extruder nozzle in order to specify an inner edge of a strand cross section of the discharged strand of building material.
