Construction by contour crafting using sulfur concrete with planetary applications

Khoshnevis, Behrokh, Yuan, Xiao, Zahiri, Behnam, Zhang, Jing, Xia, Bin·2016·Rapid Prototyping Journal

Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to report on the experiments with the Contour Crafting Automated Construction process using sulfur concrete as the choice of construction material. Design/methodology/approach Several experiments have been performed at centimeter and meter scales. A finite element analysis simulation model for the behavior of sulfur concrete-based structures has been developed. Experimental results were compared with the results of simulation. Findings Sulfur concrete has numerous terrestrial applications and is potentially an ideal construction material for planetary construction. Originality/value Experimental samples of sulfur concrete were fabricated using a novel mixer/extrusion system. The mechanism was proven to be durable and stable after more than 500 h of work.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Khoshnevis et al. performed preliminary studies on the feasibility of CC technology with sulfur concrete as an alternative binding agent to water, which requires much less energy than competitive construction materials and is 100% recyclable.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
