Mapping the bibliometric progression of 3D concrete printing: a concise review
摘要
The introduction of 3D concrete printing (3DCP) marks a substantial milestone in construction technology, enabling greater design flexibility, reduced material waste, and faster construction timelines. This bibliometric review examines current and emerging trends in 3DCP research, identifying critical areas for advancement. This review examines the development trajectory of 3DCP research by analyzing leading publications, authors, affiliations, and funding organizations. Additionally, the paper discusses the progression of 3DCP, from early efforts in robotics and materials science to current developments in large-scale applications and sustainability. The evaluation provides a roadmap for future studies by identifying potential research gaps and upcoming themes through the use of keyword co-occurrences. This analysis is a valuable tool for practitioners and researchers seeking to make significant contributions to the field of 3DCP. This study will further enhance the potential of this technology and its integration into traditional construction practices.
