Dieser Beitrag stellt eine neuentwickelte automatisierte Variante der Prüfmethode in einem Minireaktor vor. Dabei werden die Dehnungen von Betonprismen nicht, wie beim konventionellen Test manuell, sondern automatisch in entsprechend ausgerüsteten Prüfbehältern gemessen. Neben einer Reduzierung des Messaufwands bringt die automatisierte Prüfung im Minireaktor weitere Vorteile. Die Dehnungssignale werden, anders als bei der konventionellen Messung, quasi-kontinuierlich aufgezeichnet und bilden das Expansionsverhalten der Prismen detailliert ab. Außerdem bleiben Unterbrechungen der AKR-provozierenden Lagerung aus, die bei der konventionellen Prüfung notwendig sind. Im Beitrag werden die automatisierte und konventionelle Prüfung anhand der Dehnungen von Prismen zweier Gesteinskörnungen verglichen. In Übereinstimmung mit vorhergehenden Untersuchungen sind im Minireaktor gemessene Dehnungen systematisch kleiner als manuell gemessene. Als mögliche Ursache werden Unterschiede im Auslaugverhalten experimentell untersucht. Zur Überprüfung der Einstufung der zwei Gesteinskörnungen erfolgen außerdem Referenzprüfungen in der Nebelkammerlagerung bei 40 °C. N2 - The Concrete Prism Test at 60 °C (60 °C-CPT) is a common method to evaluate the susceptibility of concrete and aggregates to the Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR). This paper presents a new device for an automated version of the 60 °C-CPT. The system monitors the expansion of concrete prism automatically. Compared to the conventional test method, effort and time consumption are notably reduced. The nearly continuous recording of expansion signals allows for studying of ASR-mechanisms in more detail than the conventional test. In addition, the interruptions of ASR-provoking storage, necessary for manual measurements, are avoided. The presented study compares results of conventional and automated testing of two types of aggregate. In accordance with previous findings, continuously stored prisms generally expand less than the conventionally tested prisms. To find a possible explanation, differences in leaching of alkali from the concrete prisms were quantified. For verifying the alkali-reactivity of the two aggregates, they were also classified in the fog chamber test at 40 °C, the German reference method.

T1 - Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) - On-site investigatioons on a bridge with a mobile LIBS-system JF - The e-journal of nondestructive testing & ultrasonics N2 - LIBS is on the step from a laboratory application to on-site analysis. A validated mobile LIBS-system for on-site application on building materials is under development at BAM in cooperation with industrial partners (system developers and companies), who will use this technique for investigation on building structures like bridges and parking decks. The system is designed to measure the content of harmful species like chlorine, sulfur or alkalis, to give the engineer a tool for the estimation of the condition of concrete structures and for quality assurance during concrete repair work on-site. In these work results of on-site measurements on a chloride contaminated bridge are shown. Further work will focus on providing guidelines to establish LIBS as a standard procedure for chemical investigations of building materials.

A1 - Weise, Frank A1 - Meng, Birgit T1 - Alkali-silica reaction in concrete pavements JF - Key Engineering Materials - Concrete under Severe Conditions - Environment and Loading N2 - A significant number of German concrete motorway pavements have shown damage only a few years after construction. The alkali-silica-reaction (ASR) is often one of the reasons for this damage. German guidelines and regulations focus on the optimisation of the concrete composition to avoid damage due to ASR. Moreover, diverse research projects have dealt with the development and optimisation of ASR performance test methods with and without external alkali supply. However, the influence of other parameters on the occurrence and intensity of a damaging ASR had not yet been taken into account. Such parameters include, e.g., insufficient curing and the modifications of concrete’s porosity due to the use of slip form pavers. Likewise, the increased traffic loading had not yet been considered. The Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) assesses these parameters and processes in a number of projects. These projects aim primarily to increase the durability of the concrete pavements, in particular by improving preventive measures that may be taken before or after the construction of concrete pavements. This paper gives a short overview of BAM’s projects concerning ASR in concrete pavements. Furthermore, results regarding the influence of the cyclic traffic loading on ASR are presented.
