The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a canal component which comprises a connection portion 104, 106 designed to come into contact with a component 100, in particular an adjacent canal component, which is to be connected to the canal component 100, the method comprising the following steps: providing a concrete base body, coating the base body with a plasticized plastics material 110 in the region of the connection portion 104, 106 and in the region of an internal wall (108) of the base body facing the canal inner space 106, and curing the plastics material (110).

The present disclosure relates to a 3D printer for construction for printing and forming various structures, in which agitating blades 45 capable of auto-rotation are mounted inside a nozzle 10 discharging a printing material such as concrete or mortar, to thereby enable agitation of a fluid printing material inside the nozzle 10.

According to the present disclosure, agitation of the fluid printing material inside the nozzle 10 of the 3D printer for construction may be facilitated to prevent material segregation and maintain a homogeneously mixed state of materials constituting the fluid printing material.

A method and an apparatus for casting concrete products by mold casting, where concrete mix is fed in a casting mold from a casting apparatus moved above the mold, and the concrete mix is vibrated with a vibrator assembly located at least partially in the area inside a nozzle of the casting apparatus, wherein the concrete mix is vibrated in the area inside the nozzle with the vibrator assembly performing only vertical vibrating motion.

In some embodiments, a method may include preparing building forms including at least some cementitious materials. The method for preparing forms may include mixing substantially dry cementitious material particles with closed cell foam particles to form a substantially dry composition. In some embodiment, at least some of the cementitious material particles may adhere to at least some surface deformations on the surface of the closed cell foam particles. In some embodiments, the method may include mixing a second portion of water with the substantially dry composition for a second period of time to form a partially wet composition. In some embodiments, a method may include forming a building form including at least some cementitious materials from the partially wet composition. In some embodiments, the closed cell foam particles may include expanded polystyrene. In some embodiments, a ratio of the water to cementitious material particles may range from 0.20 to 0.40.
