Abstract
A concrete construction () made by 3D concrete printing that contains: two or more layers () of cementitious material extruded one above the other, and at least one elongated steel element () reinforcing at least one of the layers (). The elongated steel element () has an elastic and plastic elongation at break that exceeds 4%. The high elongation of the elongated steel element gives an increased ductility to the concrete structure ().
