Abstract: Three green three-dimension printing concrete (3DPC) mixtures were made with biochar (BC), waste wind turbine blade powder (WTBP), and a pre-packaged 3DPC material (Sika-752). The mixtures were used to print small and larger beams with various fill patterns/rates. The results indicate that use of 3%BC (wetted with mixing water) and10% WTBP improved fluidity, especially slump, of the 3DPC mixture. 3%BC slightly reduced strength and ductility of the 3DPC. 10% WTBP decreased strength but increased ductility of the printed specimens. Optimized infill can improve load capacity. The use of BC and WTBP in 3DPC has promising potential in construction engineering applications.
