Since the advent of three-dimensional concrete printing (3DCP), several studies have shown potential strain hardening cementitious composites (SHCC) as a self-reinforcing printable mortar. However, only few papers focus on achieving sufficient buildability when developing SHCC. This study investigates role particle size distribution (PSD) in relation to properties mixture fresh state and harden...
