Diese Flächen wirken als Wärmespeicher, so dass an Sonnentagen eine Temperaturdifferenz bis zu 10 K zwischen Stadt und umliegendem Land entstehen kann. Verstärkt wird dieser sogenannte Urban Heat Island Effect (UHIE) durch die meist direkte Abführung des anfallenden Regenwassers in die Kanalisation, wodurch eine Kühlung durch stetige Verdunstung unterbunden ist, Mit steigender Urbanisierung wächst auch die Bedeutung dieses Phänomens. Innerstädtische Hitzeinseln ziehen direkte wirtschaftliche und soziale Folgen nach sich, da hohe Temperaturen eine teure Klimatisierung der Städte bedingen. So entsteht ein erhöhter Verbrauch an Ressourcen sowie zusätzliche Abwärme. Das Wohlbefinden und die Gesundheit der Bevölkerung verschlechtern sich bei sehr hohen Temperaturen, was zu sinkender Leistungsfähigkeit und sogar zu einer erhöhten Sterberate führen kann. T2 - 18.

Today concrete no longer consists of cement, water, and aggregates, but can be enhanced significantly by using supplementary additions and chemical admixtures. Advancements in admixtures eventually facilitated the development of new concrete types such as self-compacting concrete (SCC) and high performance concrete (HPC) by uncoupling the workability from the water-cement ratio (w/c). While for traditional concrete types the major mixture parameter for the workability and strength were the w/c and the grading of the aggregates, for SCC and HPC the performance parameters are more complicated and the performance depends highly on the powder components. This makes the system more sophisticated and in parallel more prone to scatter during the production. The complexity and difficulty to predict the effects of changes in the process and mixture makes it very difficult to identify the right potentials for savings.

T1 - Einfluss der Partikelvolumenfraktion auf die Rheologie und die Effektivität von Polysaccharid-Stabilisierern in Gegenwart von Polycarboxylatether-Fließmitteln N2 - Zur Untersuchung der Wirkungsweise von ST ohne und in Gegenwart von FM wurden Untersuchungen an Zementleimen mit unterschiedlichen Φρ und variierten St-Modifikationen durchgeführt. Folgendes kann zusammengefasst werden: Mit zunehmendem Φρ nimmt der Einfluss aller beobachteten ST auf To und Πpl gegenüber dem wässrigen System ab. Bei hohem Φρ reduzieren alle ST Πpl. Diutan Gum und die hochmodifizierte Stärke können aber ein erhöhtes -r0 bewirken. In Gegenwart von FM werden ST insbesondere bei höheren FM-Dosierungen wirksam mit Bezug auf erhöhtes Πpl. Erhöhtes t0 erzielten nur ST-DG und ST-npg. Setzfließmaßversuche konnten darüber hinaus zeigen, dass Stärken besonders effektiv wirken, wenn der Feststoffgehalt sehr hoch ist, während Diutan Gum eine höhere Wirksamkeit aufweist, wenn höhere Wassergehalte im System sind. Die Wirkungsweise von ST ist sehr stark von p und der Gegenwart von FM abhängig. Die Ergebnisse zeigen. dass für Stärken die Modifikation eine sehr große Rolle spielen kann und dass weitere Untersuchungen zeigen müssen, inwieweit ST auf bestimmte Anwendungen maßgeschneidert werden können.

A1 - Ferrara, L. A1 - Dehn, F. T1 - Design of concrete for high flowability: progress report of fib task group 4.3 N2 - Flowable concretes can differ significantly from traditional vibrated concrete. Concrete types like self-compacting concrete (SCC), ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) and high performance fibre reinforced cementitious composites (HPFRCCs) require novel mix design approaches. This has consequences for the production and the performance in the hardened state. Mix designs for flowable concretes can incorporate a wide variety of innovative admixtures or components: e.g. superplasticisers increase the flowability and allow for significant reduction of the water content, shrinkage compensating admixtures or superabsorbent polymers support sound and damage free curing processes, viscosity modifying admixtures enhance the robustness, and new fibre types allow for sophisticated and tailored structural performance. The new Model Code has limitations regarding the application of flowable concrete, e.g. thresholds for the minimum aggregate size and the maximum strength. Provisions are added to include fibres for structural design. fib Task Group 4.3 aims at facilitating the use of innovative flowable materials for designing concrete structures and considers three aspects of flowable concrete: material properties, production effects and structural boundary conditions and performance. This paper reports about the progress of fib TG 4.3 related to the mix design of flowable concrete and discusses the present state-of-the-art concerning admixtures and robustness.

T1 - Mode of operation of polysaccharide stabilising agent in cement based systems and interactions with superplasticisers N2 - Polysaccharides are incorporated into cement based systems in order to modify the rheological properties. Typically cellulose ethers, sphingan gums or starch ethers are applied. Depending upon their chemistry, molecular architecture, and adsorption tendency, polysaccharides interact differently with the entire cementitious system. Some stabilising agents like diutan gum mainly affect the cementitious paste; other stabilising agents like starch tend to interact with the sand fraction and even with the coarse aggregates. Cellulose shows more divers performances. Often stabilising admixtures like polysaccharides are used, when sophisticated rheological properties are adjusted. Therefore, polysaccharides are often used in combination with superplasticisers. This can cause interactions, particularly when the stabilising agent shows a strong tendency to adsorb on particle surfaces. Adsorptive stabilising agents may reduce the amount of adsorbed superplasticisers, thus affecting both viscosity and yield stress, while non-adsorptive stabilising agents mainly affect the plastic viscosity independently of the superplasticiser. Due to the strong influence of superplasticisers on the yield stress, influences of the stabilising agent on the yield stress retreat into the background, so that their major effect is an increase of the viscosity. The paper provides a comprehensive overview of how different polysaccharide superplasticisers affect cementitious flowable systems and points out the challenges of the combined use of polysaccharides and superplasticisers. Based on rheometric experiments and Observations of the hydration process, time dependent effects on the workability as well as of the hydration of cement are presented.

A1 - Kühne, Hans-Carsten A1 - Meng, Birgit T1 - Correlation between setting, heat evolution, and deformations of cementitious binder systems depending on type and amount of superplasticizer N2 - Today polycarboxylate ether based superplasticizer (PCE) is commonly used in concrete technology when high flow properties and water reduction are specified. The ionic strength of the polymers’ backbones determines the adsorption behaviour of polymers on clinker and early hydration products. The amount of required polymers for specified flow properties and the performance over the time of casting is thus determined by the molecular structure of the superplasticizer. The time depending consumption of polycarboxylate ether polymers strongly affects the reaction of aluminates and sulphate ions as well as the hydration process in general. Hence, the choice of polymers for particular flow properties greatly affects the very early properties of cementitious materials such as setting, heat evolution and autogenous deformations. In order to better understand how PCEs influence the early properties, mixes from cement, limestone filler, viscosity modifying agent and water were varied with a high and a low charge density superplasticizer in differing amounts. Results are presented from measurements with an automatic Vicat device, an isothermal heat flow calorimeter, and shrinkage cones. Tests were conducted at 5, 20, and 30 °C. It is shown that in presence of PCE the final set correlates well with the inflexion point of the heat flow curve, which emphasises the interrelation between C-S-H formation and setting. No such clear correlation can be found for the initial set, which is attributed to the fact that the initial set is rather a rheological than a structural phenomenon, so that other effects overlap with C-S-H formation. The results demonstrate that for a given polymer concentration low charge density polymers yield earlier setting than high charge polymers. However, this influence is overridden by the influence of the total amount of polymers in a cementitious system. Since PCE is typically added according to rheological specifications, and low charge PCE typically requires higher amounts of polymers than high charge PCE for comparable flow performance, low charge PCE retards setting more than high charge PCE. The paper furthermore points out that there is no significant influence of the polymer type or amount on the early deformations. Since type and amount strongly affect the hydration, it is demonstrated that early setting causes higher strain after the final set. It is hence concluded that higher PCE solid contents reduce the risk of early cracks that occur at time of setting, when a solid structure has already been formed but without resistance against cracks yet.

In an ongoing work, the influence of com and cassava starches on some properties of concrete such as compressive strength, heat of hydration and creep are examined. Various percentages (0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2 %) of starches by weight of cement were added to concrete mixes prepared in the laboratory. Preliminary results of compressive strengths showed that both starches have some positive impact (e.g. there was 5.3 % increase in strength due to a 1 % addition of com starch by weight of cement in comparison to the control while cassava starch of the same percentage gave 4.9 % increase in strength) at certain percentages of starch addition to concrete at 28 days. The creep and hydration results shows the starch additions compares well and in some instance performs better.

T1 - Efficiency of high performance concrete types incorporating bio-materials like rice husk ashes, cassava starch, lignosulfonate, and sisal fibres N2 - Over the last decades concrete has evolved from a simple mass construction material towards a sophisticated multi-component system. The design parameters for the mixture composition of concrete have significantly increased from strength based towards overall or specific performance based. As a result the variety of concrete has increased yielding a number of special concrete technologies such as Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC), High-Performance Concrete (HPC), Strain Hardening Cement Based Composites (SHCC), and many others. Due to their complex mixture compositions and a multitude of possible interactions between constituents, these concrete types are preferably composed of special components like well-defined powders and sophisticated chemical admixtures. This makes such concrete technology expensive and limits their application to regions with the required material supply chains. The paper puts focus on materials, which are less well studied in conjunction with high performance concrete, but which are available in many developing countries, and in particular sub-Saharan Africa. The paper shows how sec can be designed without polycarboxylate ether superplasticizer and well defined fillers, but with lignosulphonate, cassava starch and rice husk ash. The positive effect of well processed rice husk ashes is demonstrated. Furthermore results are presented of SHCC where typical components like polyvinyl alcohol fibres and fluy ash are replaced by sisal fibres and limestone filler, respectively. The results point out that high performance concrete applications do not have to be limited to a boundary framework with availability of well-defined raw material supply structures and sophisticated admixtures or fibres. Concepts are presented how innovative concrete technologies can be developed based on indigenous materials.
