T1 - Electrochemical realkalisation of carbonated "Dalle de Verre" windows T2 - Proceedings of the 3rd RILEM spring convention and conference (RSCC 2020) N2 - Concrete-glass windows or commonly referred to as “Dalle de Verre” windows are prevalent in historical monuments across Europe. “Dalle de Verre” windows were made by placing cut stained glasses, of various shapes and sizes, into a steel reinforced concrete frame. In addition to the steel reinforcement, a few steel wires run across the concrete elements to hold the glass windows into place. Much of these structures have been damaged due to carbonation of the thin concrete covers and consequent corrosion of the steel reinforcement; and exhibit several cracks due to the expansive nature of corrosion products formed at the steel–concrete interface. This study focussed on understanding the efficacy of electrochemical realkalisation in reinstating the passive state of the steel reinforcement embedded in such concrete glass windows. Simulant “Dalle de Verre” windows (representative of windows at Kaiser-Wilhelm Gedächtniskirche) were produced using different cements with a water/cement ratio of 0.6 and carbonated under accelerated conditions. Post carbonation, the concrete glass windows were electrochemically realkalised using a sacrificial anode. The influence of highly alkaline conditions due to electrochemical realkalisation on the glass-concrete interface has also been investigated. This study shows that the passive state of the steel reinforcement in “Dalle de Verre” windows, particularly at the Kaiser-Wilhelm Gedächtniskirche (memorial church) in Berlin, can be reinstated using the electrochemical realkalisation method.

Für den Einsatz in explosionsgefährdeten Bereichen werden oft Werkzeuge aus speziellen Nichteisen-Metalllegierungen (NE-Metall) verwendet. Für diese sogenannten funkenarmen Werkstoffe und deren mögliche Schlagpartner gibt es bisher keine umfassenden Untersuchungen mit Aussagen zur Zündwahrscheinlichkeit. Die TRGS 723, Abschn. 5.15, fordert den Nachweis der Funkenfreiheit der verwendeten Werkstoffpaarung. Jedoch sind Werkzeuge keine Geräte oder Schutzsysteme im Sinne der Richtlinie 2014/34/EU. Deshalb ist es nicht möglich, Werkzeuge in Übereinstimmung mit dieser Richtlinie zu zertifizieren. Der Nachweis der Erfüllung dieser Anforderungen ist durch Zertifizierungen im sogenannten "gesetzlich nicht geregelten" Bereich möglich. Die BAM bietet diese Zertifizierung für "Funkenarme Werkzeuge" im Rahmen ihres Zertifizierungsprogrammes an. Die bisherigen Ergebnisse der hier vorgestellten Untersuchung haben gezeigt, dass es keine funkenfreien, metallischen Werkzeuge (non-sparking Tools) gibt. Entscheidend ist im Hinblick auf die TRGS 723, ob zündfähige Funken entstehen oder nicht. Es ist immer die Frage, worauf die Werkzeuge im praktischen Anwendungsfall schlagen oder fallen gelassen werden können, d.h. aus welchem Material der mögliche Schlagpartner besteht. Dies können metallische Schlagpartner, aber auch Betonoberflächen sein. Unterschiedliche Kombinationen von Werkstoffen ergeben bei Schlagbeanspruchung im explosionsgefährdeten Bereich jeweils unterschiedliche Zündwahrscheinlichkeiten. Aber auch die Höhe der beim Einsatz der Werkzeuge möglichen kinetischen Schlagenergie und der Brenngas/Luft-Atmosphäre im betreffenden explosionsgefährdeten Bereich sind wichtige Einflussgrößen.

Unfortunately, the thermal properties of some components complicate the evaluation of TG results. Various hydrate phases, like ettringite (AFt), C-S-H and AFm decompose almost simultaneously in the temperature range up to 200 °C. Additionally, physical bound water is released in the same temperature range. In the temperature range between 450 °C and 600 °C the decomposition of calcium hydroxide and amorphous or weakly bound carbonates takes place simultaneously. Carbonates, like calcite, from limestone powder or other additives may be already contained in the noncarbonated sample material. For this research an attempt was made to minimise the influence of these effects. Therefore, differential curves from DTG-results of non-carbonated areas and areas with various states of carbonation of the same sample material were calculated and evaluated. Concretes based on three different types of cement were produced and stored under accelerated carbonation conditions (1 % CO2 in air). The required sample material was obtained by cutting slices from various depth of previously CO2-treated specimen and subsequent grinding. During the sample preparation, a special attention was paid that no additional carbonation processes took place. As reference method for the determination of the carbonation depth the sprayed application of phenolphthalein solution was carried out. Microscopic analysis where examined to confirm the assumptions made previously. Furthermore, the observed effect of encapsulation of calcium hydroxide by carbonates caused by the accelerated carbonation conditions was examined more closely.

Tage der Standortauswahl N2 - Die Hauptfunktion von Verschlussbauwerken für End- und Zwischenlager von radioaktiven Abfällen besteht in der Erhaltung der geologischen Barriere. Vor allem soll ein potenzieller Stofftransport durch eine möglichst geringe Permeabilität des Bauwerks verhindert bzw. auf vernachlässigbare Werte herabgesetzt werden. Die in-situ-Permeabilität des Verschlussbauwerks steht dabei in direktem Zusammenhang mit dessen Poren- und Makrostruktur, welche bei Bauwerken auf Basis von Beton insbesondere durch Schwind-verformungen und durch thermisch induzierte Rissbildung infolge der Reaktionswärmeentwicklung des Bindemittels gestört werden kann. Die Betone müssen daher neben einer hohen chemischen Langzeitstabilität auch eine geringe bzw. langsame Wärmeentwicklung während der Erhärtungsreaktionen aufweisen. Als hybride Zemente werden Mischungen aus Portlandzement, Betonzusatzstoffen und einem alkalischen Aktivator bezeichnet. Dabei können u. a. Alkalisulfate, Alkalicarbonate, Alkalisilicate und Alkalihydroxide als Aktivatoren zum Einsatz kommen. Aufgrund ihrer hohen chemischen Stabilität im salinaren Milieu sind Betone aus solchen Zementen potenziell besonders gut als Verfüllmaterial für End- und Zwischenlager im Steinsalz geeignet. In der vorliegenden Studie wurden daher hybride Zemente hinsichtlich ihrer Wärmeentwicklung in einem isothermen Kalorimeter sowie hinsichtlich Phasenbestand und Festigkeiten untersucht. Hybride Zementleime wurden auf Basis von Portlandklinker, Hüttensandmehl, Flugasche und Natriumsulfat hergestellt und die Zusammensetzungen systematisch variiert, um den Einfluss der Komponenten auf Wärmeentwicklung, Phasenbestand und mechanische Eigenschaften der Leime zu untersuchen; zusätzlich wurden zu Vergleichszwecken ein Zementleim auf Basis der Betonrezeptur M2 sowie eine alkalisch aktivierte Flugasche untersucht.

Für die architektonische Wirkung des Charlottenburger Tores waren die beiden ca. 22 Meter hohen Kandelaber auf der Charlottenburg zugewandten Seite des Tores bedeutsam. Die Stiftung Denkmal ließ die Kandelaber seit Mai 2007 mit dem Ziel rekonstruieren, dem Tor, seiner Umgebung und der Straße des 17 Juni den historischen Gesamteindruck wiederzugeben. Im Rahmen der Rekonstruktion wurde die Grundsatzentscheidung getroffen, dass die Wiederherstellung der komplett zerstörten und auch nicht mehr in Fragmenten vorhandenen Kandelaber nicht unter Anwendung der Bautechnik von 1900 durchgeführt werden sollte. Die Zielsetzung war viel mehr, mit moderner Bautechnik die Anmutung der Kandelaber von 1903 wiederherzustellen, die in Verbindung mit anderen baulichen Elementen, wie der Charlottenburger Brücke und des Charlottenburger Tores, den historischen Gesamtkomplex bilden.

This makes them potentially applicable as repair systems for damaged steel-reinforced concrete structures, which are exposed to chloride attack. For this purpose, the influence of the activator composition, i.e. the SiO2 and Na2O concentration of the alkaline solution on a) the compressive strength, b) shrinkage and mass change and c) the resistance against chloride penetration of four alkali-activated slag mortars (AASM) were studied. An ordinary Portland cement-based mortar was used as the reference sample. Increasing SiO2 and Na2O concentrations increased the strength, shrinkage and mass loss of the AASMs. The resistance of the mortars against chloride penetration was evaluated using the non-steady-state migration coefficient Dnssm obtained from NT BUILD 492. The results indicate that the Dnssm is related to differences in the pore solution of the AASMs rather than to differences in their microstructure. An upcoming study of the authors is going to evaluate this hypothesis by the accelerated chloride penetration (diffusion) test.

Global trend has shifted towards offshore energy, which can be obtained from either carbon intensive or renewable options, hence requiring structures such as rigs, platforms, and monopiles. Most of these structures adopt easily installable construction techniques, where lower foundation need to be connected with the super structure by mean of grouted composite joints. Generally, these composite connections have exterior sleeve, interior pile and infill grout. Being located in remote offshore conditions, connections can experience considerable adverse loading during their lifetimes. Degradations were reported inside similar connections, which were installed in last three decades. Besides, grouting in the offshore sites may often be proven difficult, which eventually leads to reduced capacity of connections in the long run. Thus, repair and rehabilitation of such connections should be planned ahead to minimize operational delays and costs in the future. This study aims at characterizing the nature of crack generation in grouted connections and thereby identifying the potential of repair using suitable repair material. Scaled grouted joints were manufactured using a novel mold, and connections were loaded under static load to visualize the main failure pattern. The failure mechanism and loading capacity are found compatible to previous results from earlier literature. Grouted connection was then repaired using cementitious injectable grout. The effectiveness of the repair system is also discussed.

Corresponding pastes were characterized by XRD, SEM, chemical analysis, 29Si MAS NMR and 1H-29Si CPMAS NMR after water storage and after acid exposure. The mortars exhibited a high resistance against sulfuric acid attack, with the best ones conforming to the requirements of DIN 19573:2016-03. The analytical results showed that this was due to precipitation of silica gel at the acid-mortar interface, which formed a mechanically stable layer that protected the subjacent mortar and thus inhibited further degradation. The addition of GGBFS decreased the acid resistance via formation of expansive calcium sulfate phases.

In the present work, two brick clays, a low-grade kaolinitic clay, and a mixed clay composed of 50% brick clay and 50% low-grade kaolinitic clay were studied regarding transformations on calcination, and strength and durability performance as well as pore structure of mortars made with the blended cements. All calcined clays exhibited pozzolanic reactivity, with the performance of the brick clays inferior to the low-grade kaolinitic clay. However, the mixed clay performed very similar to the low-grade kaolinitic clay, which points to a viable option for optimal use of brick clays in cementitious systems. The carbonation resistance of the blended cement mortars was generally worse than that of the plain Portland cement mortar, as expected, but the former exhibited a significantly improved chloride penetration resistance. The latter improvement was due to pore structure refinement in the blended cement mortars, compared to the Portland cement mortar.

However, slag-based mortars, in particular, are prone to shrinkage and associated cracks. In this respect, the application of steel fibres is one solution to reduce the formation of shrinkage induced cracks and to improve post cracking behaviour of these mortars. This study investigated the influence of two different types of steel fibres on the tensile properties of two alkali-activated mortars. Direct tensile tests and single fibre pull-outs were performed to analyse the determining failure modes both on macro and micro scale. Mechanical testing was accompanied by non-destructive testing methods such as digital image correlation and acoustic emission for a detailed analysis of the fracture process.

The mortars with calcined clays exhibited decreased workability (slump flow), but this effect could be mitigated by employment of a conventional superplasticizer; however, compressive strength of the hardened mortar was lowered in some cases. While the kaolinitic clay generally yielded the highest strength, the performance of a brick clay could be increased by grinding to higher fineness and by mixing it with the kaolinitic clay.

Here, we describe a new additive manufacturing process for alkali-activated materials that is based on selective laser-heating of lithium aluminate/microsilica slurries. The new process-material combination allows to manufacture elements with complex geometries at high building rates and high accuracy. The process is versatile and transferrable to structures of sizes differing by orders of magnitude. The mechanical strength of the obtained materials was in the range of values reported for conventional metakaolin-based geopolymers, and superior to what has been hitherto reported for alkali-activated materials produced by additive manufacturing. This mechanical performance was obtained despite the fact that the degree of reaction of the lithium aluminate and the microsilica was low, suggesting that significant reactions took place only at the surface of the microsilica particles.

Dabei bleiben Prozessrückstände wie Deinkingschlämme, Sortierrückstände und Faserreststoffe übrig. Zusammengefasst als Papierschlamm verwerten die Recycler diesen Reststoff thermisch in dezentralen Heizkraftwerken. Die dabei anfallende Papierasche hat mit den Anteilen der Hauptoxide von 59 M.-% CaO, 22 M.-% SiO2 und 13 M.-% Al2O3 eine ähnliche chemische Zusammensetzung wie Portlandzement, wobei sich die Mineralphasen unterscheiden. Durch eine Aktivierung der Papierasche können jedoch hydraulisch aktive Phasen wie Mayenit (C7A12) und Belit (C2S) erzeugt werden. Die Mineralphase Mayenit reagiert schnell mit Wasser zu Calciumaluminathydraten, wodurch der Bindemittelleim schnell ansteift. Die festigkeitsbildenden Calciumsilicathydrate (CSH) in Bindemittelleimen entstehen bei einer späteren Reaktion von Belit mit Wasser. Zur Aktivierung dient eine hydrothermale Calcinierung. Dabei wird Papierasche mit einer Aktivatorlösung (Wasser oder KOH) gemischt und bei 200 °C hydrothermal behandelt, wobei sich Hydratphasen ausbilden. Diese Zwischenprodukte dehydratisieren durch eine anschließende Calcinierung zu reaktiven Calciumsilicaten und Calciumaluminaten. Wie sich die Parameter des Aktivierungsprozesses auf die Mineralphasen auswirken, war Fokus der Untersuchungen. Mit thermogravimetrischen Analysen der Zwischenprodukte konnten die Reaktionsprodukte nach dem hydrothermalen Prozessschritt bestimmt werden. Den größten Einfluss auf den Mineralphasenbestand hat hierbei die Alkalität der Aktivatorlösung. Im zweiten Prozessschritt, der Calcinierung, ist die Temperatur der wesentliche Faktor für die Ausbildung reaktiver Phasen. Die Ergebnisse kalorimetrischer Untersuchungen an Leimen aus den calcinierten Proben dienten der Auswahl der optimalen Calcinierungstemperatur. Die gesamte Reaktionswärme war für die Proben, welche bei einer Calcinierungstemperatur zwischen 700-800 °C hergestellt wurden, am höchsten.

Due to their large size and remote locations, cylindrical grouted joints are often adopted between substructure and foundation in these offshore platforms and wind structures such as monopiles. However, these connections are composite structures with exterior sleeve, interior pile and infill mortar. Degradation and settlements were reported inside similar connections, which were installed in last three decades. Besides, grouting in the offshore sites were proven difficult to obtain ideal load bearing capacity. In-situ loading conditions were also found to be affecting the failure mechanism inside such connections. This study aims at characterizing the nature of cracks generated in these grouted connections under both static and cyclic loading. Scaled grouted joints were manufactured using a novel reusable mold, and connections were loaded to failure to visualize the main failure patterns. An assessment between failure under these two types of load is drawn along with comparison to previously available literature.

However, while extensive data is available about kaolinitic clays in this context, other clays such as illitic clays appear to be under-studied. Therefore, in the present study, two illitic clays were compared to two low-grade kaolinitic clays in terms of transformations in the calcination temperature range 650–900 °C, and performance of the calcined clays in blended cement pastes as measured by strength evolution, heat release, hydrated phase formation and portlandite consumption. The illitic clays required a higher calcination temperature for complete dehydroxylation of their illite than what is necessary for dehydroxylation of kaolinite. These higher calcination temperatures also led to particle sintering, significantly decreasing the specific surface area of the illitic clays, particularly for the clay with the higher Fe2O3 content. Nevertheless, while the kaolinitic clays generally exhibited the best performance as SCM, the illitic clay with lower Fe2O3 content performed similar to the kaolinitic clays when calcined at optimum temperature and applied at a moderate substitution rate. These findings demonstrate that several different clays have the potential to be used as SCM and indicate possible routes to identify suitable deposits for this purpose.

T1 - Towards a better understanding of tuff stone deterioration T2 - Monument Future: Decay and conservation of stone. - Proceedings of the 14th international congress on the deterioration and conservation of stone N2 - Stone deterioration is the result of a complex interaction of external physical, chemical and biological forces with the mineralogical-petrophysical properties of the stone. With a better understanding of how these properties are linked to material behavior and durability, more effective measures for stone conservation can be developed. Studying these interactions in tuff is particularly complex due to the naturally high heterogeneity of tuff rocks. The first aim of a current research project is to combine the results of recent and older studies on tuff deterioration. Furthermore, the literature overview is complemented by our own investigation of Weibern and Ettringen tuff, with a focus on pore structure characteristics.

Being located in remote offshore conditions, these connections can experience considerable adverse loading during their lifetimes. Degradation was reported inside similar connections, which were installed in the last three decades. Grouting in the offshore sites may often be proven difficult, which eventually leads to reduced load-bearing capacity of connections in the long run. Thus, repair and rehabilitation of such connections should be planned ahead to minimize operational delays and costs. In this study, scaled grouted connections were manufactured using a novel mould, whose integrity were monitored using digital image correlation (DIC). The connections were loaded under static load to visualize the main failure pattern using distributed fibre optic sensors and acoustic emission (AE) analysis. Grouted connections were then repaired using a cementitious injectable grout. The effectiveness of the grout injection was monitored using dye penetration technique. Finally, specimens are reloaded to identify the potential of such repair for grouted connections.

However, concretes based on blended cements or magnesium oxychloride cements, which are commonly considered for this application, can deteriorate severely due to a significant heat of hydration and associated deformation and cracking. Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) offer a potential solution to this problem because of their low heat release during hardening. To explore their suitability for the construction of sealing structures in evaporite rock, various AAMs with salt aggregate were studied regarding fresh properties, heat release, mechanical properties and microstructure. The heat of reaction of the AAMs was up to 55% lower than that of a blended cement designed for sealing structures, indicating significant benefits for the intended application. Other relevant properties such as mechanical strength and permeability depended strongly on the mix-design of the AAMs and curing conditions.

T1 - One-part geopolymers and aluminosilicate gel-zeolite composites: factors influencing microstructure and engineering properties T2 - Proceedings of the 42nd International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites: Ceramic Engineering and Science Proceedings Volume 39, Issue 3 N2 - Mixing and curing of geopolymers and related alkali-activated materials without storage and handling of highly alkaline solutions possesses advantages regarding safety and economic viability. One possible approach is to produce these materials from solid silica feedstocks and solid sodium aluminate, and subsequent mixing with water. We present a comparison between geopolymers and aluminosilicate gel-zeolite composites synthesized by this route from different silica feedstocks (by-product silica from chlorosilane production, microsilica, rice husk ash) and with different SiO2/Al2O3 ratios, using results from XRD, NMR, SEM, thermal analysis, mechanical and acid resistance testing. The use of rice husk ash favors formation of a fully amorphous geopolymer with high strength. Utilization of the other silica feedstocks leads to formation of aluminosilicate gel-zeolite composites, the amount and kind of zeolites depending on the feedstock and the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio. These composites show beneficial dehydration behavior, viz. no distinct dehydration step of thermal strain, with the phase assemblage after heating to 1000°C controlled by the starting composition. Mortars produced from both, the geopolymers as well as the composites, exhibit high resistance to sulfuric acid attack, making them promising materials for the construction and the repair of industrial and sewer structures.

In this research project, we are developing a design approach aiming to predict the ideal amount and properties of a grout for a specific soil situation and desired improvement of pile bearing capacity after Installation and during service time. Both numerical and experimental tests have been carried out to investigate the injection process during which a highly viscous grout is injected into the soil under high pressure to displace and compact the surrounding soil without fracturing it. The implicit Material Point Method (MPM) based on a mixed formulation is the numerical technique chosen to deal with the expected large deformations and the arbitrary shape of the developing grout bulb. The usage of MPM prevents both the need of remeshing and the numerical instability induced by extensive mesh distortion. For validation with experimental results, we have constructed a testing chamber with one transparent sidewall. This chamber enables us to observe the injection process directly at the transparent vertical window and to measure the in-plane soil displacements and strains by means of the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique. The results already reveal the interrelation of soil and grout properties for a successful usage of this common ground improvement technique.

T1 - Investigation of calcined brick clays from Central Germany for use as a sustainable pozzolan T2 - Proceedings of the International Conference on Sustainable Materials, Systems and Structures (SMSS2019), Vol. 1: New Generation of Construction Materials N2 - The production of Portland cement causes a substantial environmental impact, since the calcination of limestone results in high emissions of carbon dioxide. The use of supplementary cementitious materials such as calcined clays as partial replacement for Portland cement offers a solution to limit this environmental impact. This paper investigates four clays from deposits in central Germany with the aim of obtaining pozzolans for the production of Portland-pozzolana cement. The results obtained show that the calcined clays possess pozzolanic properties, which differ depending on calcination temperature and the relative amounts of Kaolinite and 2:1 clay minerals.

T1 - Shrinkage and bond behaviour of one-part alkali-activated mortars T2 - Proceedings of the International Conference on Sustainable Materials, Systems and Structures (SMSS2019), Vol. 3: Durability, Monitoring and Repair of Structures N2 - Mortars for application on concrete, e.g. repair mortars or protective coatings, need to have a durable bond to the substrate. This bond is determined by the adhesion between the two materials and by the differential deformations of the mortar and the substrate. In the present contribution, the hygric deformations (shrinkage/expansion) of novel one-part alkali-activated mortars and their bond to concrete substrates are studied. Shrinkage of the mortars was studied at 50 % r.H., while expansion was studied on mortars stored over an open water surface (> 99% r.H.). The bond behaviour was studied by pull-off tests according to DIN EN 1542 and by optical microscopy. The alkali-activated mortars exhibit hygric deformations much lower than the deformations of an established, commercial mortar for sewer maintenance that was tested as reference in parallel with the alkali-activated mortars. The bond behaviour of the alkali-activated mortars depends strongly on their mix-design and curing. Optical microscopy showed that in the mortars with lower bond strength, cracks developed in the mortar during curing. Mortars with appropriate mix-design and curing did not exhibit cracking, and their pull-off strength (up to >3 MPa) conformed to the requirements of relevant standards.

T1 - Powder-bed 3D printing by selective activation of magnesium phosphate cement: Determining significant processing parameters and their effect on mechanical strength JF - Open Ceramics N2 - The present work addresses powder bed binder jetting additive manufacturing by selective magnesium phosphate cement activation. Despite the potential of this technology to aid the digitalization of the construction industry, the effect of processing parameters on the mechanical performance of printed materials has not yet been studied to generate a guideline for the further development of the technology. Statistical methodologies were used to screen the effect of four printing process parameters (printing speed, layer thickness, raster angle, and build direction on flexural and compressive strength). As the exploited technology works with constant fluid pressure, the physical interpretation of the effect of each factor can be considered taking into account the interactions between the binder materials in the powder bed. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that printing speed and layer thickness significantly affect mechanical performances. Furthermore, the layout of samples for the printing process is preferable to be parallel the printhead movement. An anisotropic behavior was observed, and the samples subjected to compressive forces parallel to the layer plane possessed lower strength values. This effect can be interpreted as a result of a weak area of low density in between layers, leading to a pronounced delamination under compression. Even though the strength of the printed material is not suitable for a structural concrete, it can be marginally improved by design of experiment and optimized for non-structural applications, such as for porous artificial stone. Design of experiment coupled with ANOVA methods can be used in the future to support the development of novel material mixtures, thus expanding the fields of application of this novel additive manufacturing technology.

T1 - Workability and mechanical properties of ultrafine cement based grout for structural rehabilitation: A parametric study on the partial replacement with SCMs T2 - Proceedings of the International Conference on Concrete Repair, Rehabilitation and Retrofitting (ICCRRR 2018) N2 - Grouting is a universal repair and strengthening technique, which is constantly used for structural remediation of concrete components, trenches, mine subsidence, dam joints, restoration of masonry structures, and geological stabilizations. Having an extremely small particle size of only few microns, ultrafine cements are ideal for grouting applications due to their superior permeability and compressive strength properties of the hardened cement paste compared to that of the less-expensive, but coarser ordinary Portland cements. Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are often used to replace ultrafine cement in order to modify certain properties and to reduce costs. The aim of this experimental study is to investigate the effect of three supplementary materials: microsilica (MS), fly ash (FA), and metakaolin (MK) on the workability, and mechanical properties of an ultrafine cement based grout with a constant water-binder ratio and constant superplasticizer content. Maximum percentages of replacement with ultrafine cement were 6% by volume of cement for MS and 16% for FA, and MK. In general, results suggest that the workability is improved by addition of FA, whereas is reduced, when modified with MS and MK. The compressive strength of grout after cement replacement remains comparable to that of pure cement grout. However, there is a tendency of the MS to positively affect the compressive strength opposite to FA, whereas flexural strength is positively affected by FA. Based on the results, it is evident that grouts with Hägerman cone flow more than 500 mm and compressive strength of more than 90 MPa after 28 days can be produced.

They are particularly favoured in rehabilitation of structures due to penetrability and convenience of application. Grouts for repair applications typically require high-performance properties such as rapid strength development and superior shrinkage characteristics. Sometimes industrial by-products referred as supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) are used with neat cement due to their capabilities to provide binding properties at delayed stage. Micro silica, fly ash and metakaolin are such SCMs, those can modify and improve properties of cement products. This study aims at investigating long-term mass loss and linear shrinkage along with long-term compressive and flexural strength for grouts produced from ultrafine cement and SCMs. A series of mixtures were formulated to observe the effect of SCMs on these grout properties. Properties were determined after 365 days of curing at 23oC and 55% relative humidity. The effect of SCMs on the properties are characterised by statistical models. Response surfaces were constructed to quantify these properties in relation to SCMs replacement. The results suggested that shrinkage was reduced by metakaolin, while micro silica and fly ash had positive effects on compressive and flexural strength, respectively.

T1 - Concrete casting robustness improvement due to active rheology T2 - MATEC Web of Conferences N2 - With ongoing innovation in process technology, the challenges of concrete technology are more and more focused on the rheological optimisation for these processes, since improper mixture stability or poor compaction ability negatively affect the concrete homogeneity and quality. However, along with the increasing complexity of today’s concrete mixture compositions, concrete becomes more prone to failure regarding the casting process. Variable properties of the raw materials typically cause changing workability. The reasons can be found among others in scattering water contents, physical or chemical properties of the cement or varying environmental temperatures. Robustness in the delicately adjusted rheology, however, is of utmost importance for modern and future process technology, from sprayed concrete over pumpable concrete towards 3D-printing, with regard to the long-term strength, the function and the durability. Typically, material induced changes cannot be identified easily due to the complex interactions of concrete constituents. Therefore, a precise and prompt counteraction is impossible. However, it is known that the yield stress can be controlled by addition of supplementary superplasticizer or stabilising agent. In combination with computerized process observation tools that can rapidly interpret and react on changes in the rheology, it is therefore thinkable, that only these two admixture types can adjust the rheology steadily and permanently, regardless of the actual root cause for observed macroscopic rheology change. The presentation will firstly give a comprehensive overview of effects at the interface between pore solution, particles and hydrates, which affect the rheology of fresh concrete. Secondly, ways are recommended how the rheology can be actively manipulated before eventually computerized methods are demonstrated that help to actively and rapidly assess and counteract performance scatter during steady casting processes.

However, alternatives can be bio‐based polymers such as polysaccharides from various sources. These are easily accessible all over the world, do not demand for complicated processing, and typically they are more sustainable than many established materials, which are crude oil‐based. The paper presents the effects of acacia gum, cassava starch and the gum of triumfetta pendrata A. Rich on the rheological performance of cementitious systems. It is shown that acacia gum can be as efficient as polycarboxylate based superplasticisers, cassava starch can reduce the yield stress slightly with little effect on the plastic viscosity, and the gum of triumfet ta pendrata A. Rich increases the thixotropy of cement pastes with plasticizing polymers significantly.

Microfine cements are intensively used for high strength mortar and grout products. They are ideal for injection grouting in structural repair. Such grouts should have suitable rheological properties to be injectable, especially those used in repair and rehabilitation. The use of superplasticizers (SP) in these products is thus becoming increasingly crucial to achieve favorable workability and viscosity properties. A difficulty in such grouts is the plastic shrinkage due to finer particles used. It is thus necessary to determine optimum SP and shrinkage reducing admixture (SRA) dosages for a microfine cement based grout. In this study, a saturation dosage was decided from two Polycarboxylate ether (PCE) based SPs in relation to neat cement using slump flow and rheological parameters. A range of grout mixtures was formulated containing micro silica (MS) and fly ash (FA), and tested for suitable rheological and mechanical parameters. Based on the results, a grout mixture with MS and FA was selected to determine optimum SRA content. According to the results, a SP dosage of 3% by weight of neat cement is sufficient to achieve saturation. The grout material including MS and FA can produce comparable properties to neat cement grout. MS is found to improve compressive strength within the range considered, whereas a higher FA content provides favourable rheological properties. Finally, a SRA dosage of 4%, which could reduce the shrinkage by about 43% after 28d days, is determined for the grout system.

For all these applications it is necessary to have tailored rheological properties. Rheology can be described by values of yield stress and plastic viscosity, which can be determined for example by evaluation of rheometer measurements. But for different materials various rheometers with different geometries and stirrers are being used. To see the effects from paste in concrete, it is necessary to investigate mixes of paste, mortar and concrete, stepwise. But currently there exists no device, which is calibrated for these different systems at once. Due to this fact, conventional tests such as V-funnel efflux-time and flow diameter were determined, as well as rheometer data in different cell sizes and geometries. In this study the assessment of rheological effects in the binder on the rheology of mortar and concrete was investigated by using combination of two rheometers.

The grinding performance was evaluated in two different programs and the characterization included chemical and mineralogical composition, particle morphology, and physical properties. Performance evaluations were carried out in blended pastes and mortars, including flow properties, hydration kinetics, soundness, pozzolanic activity, and compressive strength. Coarser-than-cement admixtures allowed better flow performance, greater dimensional stability and more economical production, while finer-thancementn admixtures improved mechanical performance by both filler effect and cementing activity.

Internationale Baustofftagung ibausil N2 - Während für die Bauwirtschaft in den meisten Ländern der nördlichen Halbkugel die Instandhaltung bestehender Strukturen und Infrastruktur im Vordergrund steht, geht es in vielen Ländern der Südhalbkugel in der Hauptsache um die Schaffung von Bauwerken und Infrastruktur zur Verwirklichung angemessener Lebensbedingungen, was wiederum das schnelle Wirtschaftswachstum weiter befeuert. Beton ist als Massenbaustoff, trotz landläufig anderer Bewertung, aufgrund seines im Vergleich zu anderen Baustoffen günstigen CO2-Footprints und der globalen Verfügbarkeit hierbei aktuell ohne Alternative. Allerdings ist Beton nach Wasser das am zweithäufigsten genutzte Produkt auf Erden [1] und die globale Nachfrage und Produktion steigt dramatisch. Dies hat Konsequenzen für das globale Klima, denn gerade die als Bindemittel eingesetzten Portlandzemente verursachen bei ihrer Herstellung selbst unter modernsten Produktionsbedingungen große Mengen an CO2. Deshalb müssen für zukünftige nachhaltigere Technologien neuartige Betone entwickelt werden, die bei gleicher oder verbesserter Leistungsfähigkeit, einen geringeren Bedarf an Portlandzement aufweisen. Um den CO2-Ausstoß, der mit der Betonherstellung verbunden ist zu minimieren, müssen Anteile an Portlandzement im Bindemittel reduziert und durch nachhaltigere Ersatzstoffe ausgetauscht werden. Darüber hinaus muss das eingesetzte Bindemittel im Beton so effizient wie möglich ausgenutzt werden. Das heißt, ein Bauteil oder Bauwerk sollte gerade so viel Bindemittel enthalten, wie für die Tragfähigkeit und Dauerhaftigkeit erforderlich ist. Hierfür erscheint der Einsatz von leistungsfähigen bauchemischen Produkten unumgänglich. Diese können zum einen die veränderten Verarbeitungseigenschaften, die Zementersatzstoffe mit sich bringen, ausgleichen und gleichzeitig helfen, den Gesamtwassergehalt zu minimieren, so dass das Bindemittel seine maximale Leistungsfähigkeit erzielt. Fließmittel sind aktuell die wichtigsten Zusatzmittel für Beton. Sie reduzieren den Wasserbedarf und ermöglichen, Zement im Beton effizienter auszunutzen. Darüber hinaus sind Stabilisierer wichtig zur Erhöhung der Robustheit, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die bautechnischen Herausforderungen der Zukunft – vom Pumpen über weite Distanzen, dem Spritzen, dem Betonieren bei extremen Klimabedingungen bis hin zum 3D-Druck.

Structural grouting is a widely used remediation technique for concrete components, trenches, mine subsidence, dam joints, restoration of masonry structures, and geological stabilizations. A structural grout system should be injectable in narrow spaces and hence include ingredients with finer particles. Ultrafine cements are ideal for these type of demanding grouts due to their superior properties compared to that of the less expensive, but coarser ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are often used to replace OPC clinker based binder in order to modify certain properties and to reduce costs. The most commonly used SCMs are fly ash (FA), and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). For various special applications microsilica (MS), and metakaolin (MK) are also used. Identifying the optimum replacement contents of OPC by SCMs are a challenge during the design of such grouts. The aim of this experimental study is to investigate the effect of the selected SCMs (FA, MS and MK) on the slump flow, time of efflux, viscosity, shrinkage, and compressive and flexural strength of ultrafine cement based grouts with constant water-binder ratio and superplasticizer content. The test program was formulated using Box-Behnken design principles. Maximum percentages of replacement with ultrafine cement was 6% by volume of cement for MS and 16% for FA, and MK. The results suggest that most investigated grouts have the potential to be used for structural applications. The appropriate quadratic models are then formulated through statistical tools and presented as response surfaces. The trends indicate that fly ash improves the rheological properties, whereas microsilica and metakaolin positively affect shrinkage and mechanical properties to some extent. Based on the influence of SCMs and priorities among the properties, Decision Matrix Analysis (DMA) is carried out to select the most suitable ones among the SCMs. The analysis suggests that microsilica and fly ash are more suitable as SCMs than metakaolin without affecting the properties.

T1 - Influence of high-charge and low-charge PCE-based superplasticizers on Portland cement pastes containing particle-size designed recycled mineral admixtures JF - Journal of Building Engineering N2 - Design : and use of engineered recycled mineral admixtures obtained from industrial and mineral waste are promising strategies to increase the range of materials suitable for use in cement-based composites. In this work, Portland cement-blended pastes containing mineral admixtures designed for improving particle packing were evaluated in the presence of low- and high-charge polycarboxylate-based superplasticizers. The powders were obtained from basic oxygen furnace slag, iron ore tailings, quartz mining tailings, and quartzite mining tailings. The zeta-potentials of the particles were obtained via electrophoretic mobility. The flow properties were evaluated by rheological tests performed in a Couette type rheometer. The hydration kinetics was evaluated by isothermal calorimetry and an adapted method based on the Vicat needle test. The high-charge PCE and the finer mineral admixtures produced more stable blends. Coarser mineral admixtures led to increased flowability and delayed hydration compared to finer ones. Steel slag powders presented the most significant plasticizer effects, but also the largest setting delays and segregation tendency. Quartz-rich superfines reduced the setting delays caused by the superplasticizers. In summary, both superplasticizers were effective in improving flow properties, but the high-charge PCE was effective in preventing segregation in pastes containing mineral admixtures coarser and heavier than cement.
