The combination of high-performance concrete (HPC) with advanced or additive technologies provides new possibilities for constructing architecturally attractive buildings with high material requirements. The purpose of this study was to develop a dry mixture made from high-performance concrete that could be distributed directly in advanced or additive technologies of solutions in pre-prepared condition with all input materials (except for water) in order to reduce both financial and labor costs. This research specifically aimed to improve the basic strength characteristics\u2014including mechanical (assessed using compressive strength, tensile splitting strength, and flexural strength tests) and durability properties (assessed using tests of resistance to frost, water, and defrosting chemicals)\u2014of hardened mixtures, with partial insight into the rheology of fresh mixtures (consistency as assessed using the slump-flow test). Additionally, the load-bearing capacity of the selected mixtures in the form of specimens with concrete reinforcement was tested using a three-point bending test. A reference mixture with two liquid plasticizers\u2014the first based on polycarboxylate and polyphosphonate and the second based on polyether carboxylate\u2014was modified using a powdered plasticizer based on the polymerization product Glycol to create a dry mixture; the reference mixture was compared with the developed mixtures with respect to the above-mentioned properties. In general, the results show that the replacement of the aforementioned liquid plasticizers by a powdered plasticizer based on the polymerization product Glycol in the given mixtures is effective up to 5% (of the cement content) with regard to the mechanical and durability properties. The presented work provides an overview of the compared characteristics, which will serve as a basis for future research into the development of additive manufacturing technologies in the conditions of the Czech Republic while respecting the principles of sustainable construction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/buildings14082269","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,23]],"date-time":"2024-07-23T14:26:50Z","timestamp":1721744810000},"page":"2269","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Utilization of High-Performance Concrete Mixtures for Advanced Manufacturing Technologies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3964-8643","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oldrich","family":"Sucharda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Building Materials and Diagnostics of Structures, Faculty of Civil Engineering, VSB\u2014Technical University of Ostrava, Ludvika Podeste 1875\/17, 708 00 Ostrava-Poruba, Czech Republic"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-0931-5985","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Radoslav","family":"Gandel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Building Materials and Diagnostics of Structures, Faculty of Civil Engineering, VSB\u2014Technical University of Ostrava, Ludvika Podeste 1875\/17, 708 00 Ostrava-Poruba, Czech Republic"}]},{"given":"Petr","family":"Cmiel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Building Materials and Diagnostics of Structures, Faculty of Civil Engineering, VSB\u2014Technical University of Ostrava, Ludvika Podeste 1875\/17, 708 00 Ostrava-Poruba, Czech Republic"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-5414-695X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jan","family":"Jerabek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Building Materials and Diagnostics of Structures, Faculty of Civil Engineering, VSB\u2014Technical University of Ostrava, Ludvika Podeste 1875\/17, 708 00 Ostrava-Poruba, Czech Republic"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6433-4892","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vlastimil","family":"Bilek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Building Materials and Diagnostics of Structures, Faculty of Civil Engineering, VSB\u2014Technical University of Ostrava, Ludvika Podeste 1875\/17, 708 00 Ostrava-Poruba, Czech Republic"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"37","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cemconres.2018.05.006","article-title":"3D Printing Using Concrete Extrusion: A Roadmap for Research","volume":"112","author":"Buswell","year":"2018","journal-title":"Cem.
