T1 - Multilayer concrete pavers - solutions for the mitigation of the urban heat island effect N2 - The large scale application of self-cooling concrete pavers is a future-oriented approach to reduce the urban heat island effect in inner-city areas. Making use of evaporation enthalpy, these new pavements counterbalance the absorption of solar radiation and the subsequent transfer of heat to the surrounding environment. The concrete pavers consist of a permeable top-layer and a storage layer. As the different requirements of these layers demand different concrete mixtures they are developed and optimised for their respective functions. This paper presents some results of the concrete mixture design and Solutions that combine a sufficient compressive strength as well as good water transportation properties for the face concrete layer.

Hence cities are growing and as a result the building density and the land sealing rise. Concrete as commonly used building material in urban structures provides a high heat storage capacity. Therefore the microclimate in cities has become warmer than in the surrounding areas. This phenomenon is called Urban Heat Island Effect. To mitigate this situation a large scale application of self-cooling concrete pavers is an approach to reduce the urban heat island effect. Making use of evaporation enthalpy, this new type of pavements counterbalances the absorption of solar radiation and the subsequent transfer of heat to the surrounding environment. The typical double-layer structure of concrete paving stones can be maintained. The mass concrete acts as a water storage layer and is covered by a permeable face concrete. As the different requirements of these layers demand different concrete mixtures, they are developed and optimised for their respective functions. This paper presents some suitable no-slump concrete mixtures that combine a sufficient compressive strength as well as good water transportation properties for the above mentioned approach.

A major process step within the treatment of waste paper is the de-inking. It is a floating process yielding paper sludge as a waste product. About 50 % of this residue is used as a fuel. In several cases it is burnt at temperature of about 850 °C and thereafter the accrued ashes are collected in the flue gas filter. During the combustion, kaolinite and calcium oxide generate gehlenite and larnite. Calcite is the main component of waste paper sludge ash (PA).The chemical and mineralogical composition of PA suggests using it as a supplementary cementitious material. In modern construction materials technology, workability aspects gain importance, since for most modern materials the rheology and compaction ability are relevant for the operation at a hardened state. It was observed that PA significantly increases the water demand of powder systems, which can cause serious problems during the casting of mineral binder systems containing PA. It is therefore obvious that binder systems containing PA might demand for the use of superplasticizers. Superplasticizers are polymers with anionic backbone that cause electrostatic and steric repulsion effects upon adsorption on surfaces of particles and hydration phases. In this paper interactions between superplasticizers and waste paper sludge ashes are discussed and analysed. Based on observations of changes in the zeta potential and the dispersion of the particle system, the influence of the charge density of superplasticizers is observed and time dependent effects are demonstrated.

T1 - From waste materials to products for use in the cement industry N2 - Industrial wastes (bottom ash, crushed concrete fines, filter residue, paper ash and lignite fly ash) have potential for use in building materials, for instance as raw materials for clinker production, as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) or mineral additions in concrete. The properties of the products are dependent on the reactivity of the waste materials used, which can be classified as inert, latent hydraulic or pozzolanic. In this study, waste materials were first characterised. This was followed by theoretical considerations of the mentioned application options. Experiments were limited to evaluation of potential as SCMs and, for this purpose, activity index measurements and calorimetric and thermogravimetric analyses were performed. Finally, the synergetic effects of various waste materials were considered. Paper ash (calcium oxide source) and filter residue (amorphous silicon dioxide source) showed the best prospects for use as cementitious material components.

The increased building and infrastructural construction caused the transformation of the landscape and to an increased land sealing in these areas. Consequently, the increased land sealing influences the air temperatures in the cities, since houses, streets and squares heat up continuously. As a result, the city and metropolitan areas became significantly warmer than their surroundings - the effect is known as Urban Heat Island (UHI). These changes have a negative impact for the quality of life. To deal with the negative effects of UHI, a high level of technical and financial effort is necessary. The costs caused by the UHI effects are in the range of several billion US dollars worldwide per year. The recent studies on UHI showed that the established methods like parks and green spaces or bright coatings for roof areas will soon not be able to effectively cope with the UHI effect in urban areas. Therefore there is a need for additional methods to mitigate UHI effect in the cities. The streets, sidewalks and squares represent approximately 30% to 40% of the inner cities areas. If these areas are designed functionally, they can have a significant impact on the UHI. This contribution focuses on development of a concrete paving stone with self-cooling properties. For the cooling effect the evaporative cooling is used. The paving stone is able to store large quantities of water and deliver during appropriate environmental conditions. This paper deals with the results of the long-term experiments on the test-fields under different climatic conditions. To interpret the test-field-results, laboratory tests were carried out as well. The paper presents and discuss the obtained results, and points out the difficulties occurred.

Particularly inner cities have been affected by these environmental changes because of the materials used to build houses, streets and infrastructure. The most common building material is concrete. It shows a specific heat capacity, while the heat conductivity for Standard concrete is low. Thus, the use of concrete generates a high capacity of heat storage. In addition, extensive soil sealing also contributes to the temperature rise of inner city areas compared to their surroundings. To mitigate this so-called urban heat island effect, a self-cooling concrete paver was developed. This paver is able to store water. The evaporation of the water at elevated temperatures provides a cooling effect. This paper focuses on determination of this new paver’s capability to cool the surface and the surrounding. The new paver’s cooling Qualities were analysed in a series of laboratory tests. To prove the results outside of laboratory conditions, two fields (12 m × 8 m) with self-cooling and reference pavers were installed in Spain. This paper presents and discusses the results of the tests. Correlation between reduced surface temperature of the self-cooling concrete pavers and the air temperature is examined.
