T1 - Innovative lightweight floors made of prestressed CFRP-reinforced concrete – from research to construction practice N2 - The presented joint research project “CaPreFloor”, which started in 2023, aims to employ prestressed textile-reinforced concrete using carbonfibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) to design lightweight floor elements. This allows the reduction of common steel-reinforced concrete floors of 30 cm thickness to a maximum of 6 cm for office, residential, and hotel buildings. Lower material consumption significantly contributes to the conservation of resources and minimises the carbon footprint. In addition, the prefabrication of these floor elements results in high and consistent quality, short construction times and enhanced reusability of the components. A team of experts from various research and practice fields works on this project to achieve the set goal. Currently, open questions include the anchorage and load transfer of the prestressed CFRP reinforcement, structural failure indication, the behaviour of CFRP reinforcement and high-performance concrete at elevated temperatures, as well as fire resistance and sound insulation. As a result, an extensive test programme on different size scales will be conducted. Practical aspects, such as design, field of application and life cycle, as well as the development of an automated production plant, are also considered. The paper will present considerations related to the geometry and design, material selection, manufacturing, ecological footprint, and intended experimental test programme. Four different geometries and two different CFRP reinforcements are being examined. As a result, the developed floor must fulfil all practical requirements in building construction.

Das Carbongelege besteht aus Carbonfasern in einer Kunststoffmatrix. Mit dieser Bauweise können dünnwandige und damit ressourcenschonende Deckenelemente realisiert werden. Der Wechsel von massiven zu filigranen und vergleichsweise leichten Bauteilen führt jedoch aufgrund der geringeren Masse und der damit einhergehenden schnelleren Erwärmung zu einer Abnahme des Feuerwiderstands. Ferner führt die Erweichung der Matrix im Brandfall zu einer Abnahme der Verbundfestigkeit zwischen Carbongelege und Beton. Die Brennbarkeit des Carbongeleges sowie die Abplatzneigung des verwendeten Feinbetons stellen weitere Herausforderungen für den baulichen Brandschutz dar. Der Beitrag stellt Versuchsergebnisse zum Abplatz- und Hochtemperaturverhalten von Carbonbeton vor, die im Rahmen des Verbundvorhabens „Vorgespannte Carbonbetondecken mit reduzierten Querschnitten“ (CaPreFloor) erzielt wurden. Für die Untersuchung der Tragfähigkeit bei hohen Temperaturen wurden 4-Punkt-Biegeversuche an balkenförmigen Prüfkörpern (150 x 30 x 6 cm³) mit einlagiger Carbonbewehrung und instationärer Temperaturbeanspruchung durchgeführt. Neben dem Vorspanngrad des Carbongeleges wurde auch der Gelegetyp variiert. Im Bereich der konstanten Biegezugzone erfolgt die einseitige Erwärmung mittels elektrisch betriebener Heizmatten. Während der kontinuierlichen Erwärmung werden die Prüfkörper mit einer konstanten Kraft belastet, deren Betrag aus zuvor durchgeführten Biegeversuchen bei Raumtemperatur abgeleitet wurde. Die Abplatzversuche werden mit Einheits-Temperaturzeitkurve an rechteckigen (60 x 60 x 6 cm³) und kreisrunden (Ø 47 x 6 cm³), plattenförmigen Prüfkörpern am 1m³-Ofen der BAM durchgeführt. Die kreisrunden Prüfkörper sind zusätzlich mit einem Stahlring zur Behinderung der thermischen Dehnung des Betons versehen. Um den Einfluss des Geleges auf das Abplatzverhalten zu analysieren, werden sowohl Prüfkörper mit Carbongelege als auch unbewehrte Prüfkörper untersucht. Die daraus resultierenden Erkenntnisse fließen in die weitere Entwicklung der vorgespannten Carbonbetondeckenelemente ein. Anhand von realmaßstäblichen Brandversuchen wird der Feuerwiderstand dieser Bauteile im weiteren Projektverlauf bestimmt.

Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass bei Raumtemperatur kein signifikanter Einfluss der Vorspannung auf die Bruchkraft vorliegt. Mit steigender Temperatur nimmt die Biegetragfähigkeit infolge des Festigkeitsverlustes von Beton und Carbonbewehrung sowie durch das Schmelzen der Tränkungsmatrix deutlich ab. Zwei Versagensmechanismen konnten identifiziert werden, d.h. Zugversagen bei hoher Vorspannung und Verbundversagen bei niedriger Vorspannung. Die Abnahme der Verbundfestigkeit ist auf das Erweichen der Tränkungsmatrix bei Überschreitung der Glasübergangstemperatur zurückzuführen. Bei Temperaturen oberhalb von etwa 200 °C ist keine Tränkungsmatrix und daraus resultierende Verbundwirkung mehr vorhanden. Darüber hinaus wurden im Rahmen von Abplatzversuchen drei Schutzmaßnahmen zur Vermeidung von Betonabplatzungen im Brandfall untersucht, d.h. reaktives Brandschutzsystem (RBS), zementgebundene Brandschutzplatten sowie Zugabe von Polypropylenfasern (PP-Fasern) zur Betonmischung. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der Typ des Carbongeleges die Wirksamkeit der Schutzmaßnahmen beinflusst. Während die Zugabe von PP-Fasern das Abplatzen bei beiden untersuchten Gelegetypen verhindern konnte, war dies bei RBS und Brandschutzplatten nur bei einem Gelegetyp erfolgreich. Die Ursache der Abplatzungen ist auf das temperaturbedingte Schmelzen und die damit einhergehende Volumenzunahme der im Gelege Q85 vorhandenen Hilfsfäden zurückzuführen. Dies führt zu einer Rissbildung parallel zur brandbeanspruchten Betonoberfläche. Der Dampfdruck im Beton ist trotz reduzierter Erwärmungsgeschwindigkeit zu hoch, weshalb es zum Abplatzen kommt. Im Gegensatz dazu bewirkt das Schmelzen der PP-Fasern eine Erhöhung der Permeabilität des Betons. Dadurch kann der entstehende Wasserdampf frühzeitig entweichen, sodass der Dampfdruck unterhalb der kritischen Schwelle bleibt, die für das Abplatzen erforderlich wäre.

Especially in the case of tension bars, where mostly circular or rectangular solid sections are used, intumescent coatings offer an efficient measure to improve the fire resistance taking advantage of profile-following application and low coating thickness requirements. Thus, the architectural appearance of slender profiles can be preserved. The paper describes real-scale mechanically loaded and unloaded fire tests of circular and rectangular solid steel tension bars with intumescent coating. The aim of these tests is to investigate the influence of the different profile types as well as different bar orientations on the performance of intumescent coatings. The results are used to specify a normative test and assessment procedure to be implemented in a new European standard for determining the contribution of intumescent coatings to the fire resistance of circular or rectangular bars used as tension members.

A1 - Hothan, Sascha T1 - European test standard intumescent coatings applied to steel tension bars with solid section N2 - Intumescent coatings are used in civil engineering to improve the fire resistance of steel constructions. Due to the thin coating thickness and the profile-following application, the architectural appearance of the steel structure can be preserved. EN 13381-8 provides regulations to determine the contribution to the fire resistance of intumescent coatings applied to steel beams and columns. The scope of this standard excludes tension members and steel members with solid sections. For products that have already been successfully tested and assessed on beams and columns, EN 13381-10 offers the possibility based on unloaded fire tests to extend the scope of application of intumescent coatings to tension bars with solid sections. This approach contradicts the national safety level in Germany, where mechanically loaded testing is mandatory. Therefore, a new part of the test standard series EN 13381 is currently developed to enable the application of intumescent coatings on steel tension bars with solid section based on mechanically loaded fire tests. BAM has already carried out numerous fire tests on loaded steel tension members with intumescent coatings. Currently, in the BAM research project FIRESTEMIC, the influence of the steel bar orientation and the profile type on the thermal performance of intumescent coatings are investigated. Both questions concerning the thermal protection ability of intumescent coatings were analysed based on three different test sets, which were carried out in the tension furnace (Fig. 1a). The fire exposure corresponds to the standard temperature-time curve according to EN 1363-1. This paper summarises the main findings from the fire tests conducted in the FIRESTEMIC project. The results serve as an experimental background for the proposal of the new standard. Regarding the bar orientation, a new test setup was developed and proposed for the new standard. The two tested commercial water-based intumescent coatings with applied dry film thickness from 1.5 mm to 2.5 mm showed only a slight dependence on the bar orientation. In terms of the steel profile type, circular and rectangular solid sections with identical section factor and applied dry film thickness were tested. It was observed that the circular solid bars with diameter 30 mm heat up faster compared to the solid rectangular bars with dimension 30×30 mm (Fig. 1b). Also at larger steel bars, i.e. diameter 40 mm and dimension 40×40 mm, the same trend occurred. Thus, it is recommended for the new test standard to allow a transfer of the test results from circular to rectangular solid sections. In addition, the paper will describe and explain the test and assessment procedure proposed for the newly developed standard.

Exposed to fire, the intumescent coating reacts and forms a thermal protective char around the steel member. Thus, the heating of the steel is significantly slowed down and the fire resistance can be improved. Information regarding the scope of application and the durability of intumescent coatings are given in national approvals or European Technical Assessment documents. Due to the environmental conditions, intumescent coatings are subjected to ageing effects, which can reduce the durability and their thermal protection performance. To predict the durability for several years, during the approval procedure the behaviour of intumescent coatings is predominantly extrapolated based on accelerated artificial ageing. The established German and European assessment procedures to test and assess durability assume a working life of at least 10 years. Additional evidence may be required for longer periods. However, at present there is no method of verifying the thermal performance of existing structural members on site. For this reason, BAM is conducting the research project "INSIST" [1] to develop a minimally invasive in situ test method to determine the fire resistance of existing steel structures with applied intumescent coating. The investigation includes the development of a mobile prototype furnace. The paper describes the test setup, the developed prototype furnace, and the results of the performed test programme on uncoated and coated steel specimens. Based on this, recommendations for the test procedure are given.
