On the one hand, additive manufacturing in construction or 3D concrete printing is the development of existing technologies for concrete pouring in monolithic housing construction, on the other, it creates the prerequisites for the transition to a fundamentally new level of labor productivity in construction, which is based on automated execution construction operations and a reduction in the share manual labor while reducing material consumption and increasing the flexibility of architectural and space-planning design of buildings and structures. To reduce barriers to the wide application of additive manufacturing in construction, it is necessary to develop reasonable approaches to the design and calculation of buildings and structures erected using this technology, based on the features of printed concrete structures and an empirical assessment of possible differences in their operational properties from similar ones created using traditional molding technologies. This article discusses the results of the research and development work stage carried out by the authors. The main aim of the research was to obtain an experimental data for the development of recommendations for the design of buildings concrete structures created using the technology of additive manufacturing in construction, in terms of studying the effect of anisotropy of some strength characteristics concrete products made using a construction 3D concrete printer by layer-by-layer extrusion with vertical screw feeding of a dispersion-reinforced concrete mix.
