A1 - Schmidt, Wolfram T1 - Acoustic emission for characterising the crack propagation in strain-hardening cement-based composites (SHCC) N2 - This paper presents the analysis of crack propagation in strain-hardening cement-based composite (SHCC) under tensile and flexural load by using acoustic emission (AE). AE is a non-destructive technique to monitor the development of structural damage due to external forces. The main objective of this research was to characterise the cracking behaviour in SHCC in direct tensile and flexural tests by using AE. A better understanding of the development of microcracks in SHCC will lead to a better understanding of pseudo strain-hardening behaviour of SHCC and its general performance. ARAMIS optical deformation analysis was also used in direct tensile tests to observe crack propagation in SHCC materials. For the direct tensile tests, SHCC specimens were prepared with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibre with three different volume percentages (1%, 1.85% and 2.5%). For the flexural test beam specimens, only a fibre dosage of 1.85% was applied. It was found that the application of AE in SHCC can be a good option to analyse the crack growth in the specimens under increasing load, the location of the cracks and most importantly the identification of matrix cracking and fibre rupture or slippage.

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.

Heutzutage besteht Beton nicht mehr länger nur aus Zement, Wasser und Gesteinskörnungen, sondern kann unter Anwendung von Zusatzstoffen und chemischen Zusatzmitteln erheblich verbessert werden. Gleichzeitig beschränken die Betonspezifikationen sich nicht mehr auf den Elastizitätsmodul und Druckfestigkeit, sondern Beton kann ebenfalls zur Erfüllung zahlreicher Anwendungskriterien wie Dauerhaftigkeit, Verarbeitbarkeit, Ästhetik, Brandverhalten und vieler anderer mehr beitragen. Gleichzeitig ist jedoch die Zusammensetzung von Beton wegen der Vielzahl an interagierenden Mischungskomponenten komplizierter geworden. Das Verständnis der Auswirkungen der veränderten Mischungskomponenten ist eine Herausforderung, aber auch der Schlüssel zu einer innovativen Betontechnologie.

Today concrete no longer consists of cement, water, and aggregates, but can be enhanced significantly by using supplementary additions and chemical admixtures. At the same time the concrete specifications are no longer limited to Young’s modulus and compressive strength, but concrete may need to be designed for a multiple of application criteria such as durability, workability, optics, fire behaviour, and many more. However at the same time, the composition of concrete has become more complex due to the higher number of mutually interacting mixture constituents. Understanding the effects of changed mixture constituents is challenging but a good understanding is the key to innovative concrete technology.

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.
