T1 - Interlaboratory study on rheological properties of cement pastes and reference substances: comparability of measurements performed with different rheometers and measurement geometries N2 - This paper presents the results of an interlaboratory study of the rheological properties of cement paste and ultrasound gel as reference substance. The goal was to quantify the comparability and reproducibility of measurements of the Bingham parameters yield stress and plastic viscosity when measured on one specific paste composition and one particular ultrasound gel in different laboratories using different rheometers and measurement geometries. The procedures for both in preparing the cement paste and carrying out the rheological measurements on cement paste and ultrasound gel were carefully defined for all of the study’s participants. Different conversion schemes for comparing the results obtained with the different measurement setups are presented here and critically discussed. The procedure proposed in this paper ensured a reasonable comparability of the results with a coefficient of variation for the yield stress of 27% and for the plastic viscosity of 24%, despite the individual measurement series’ having been performed in different labs with different rheometers and measurement geometries.

Zur Bewertung des Ausbauasphalts ist es daher notwendig, die Modifizierungen an der Mischanlage zu identifizieren. Die Ausbildung des Bindemittelsacks beim Erweichungspunkt Ring und Kugel ist charakteristisch für die Modifizierung. Hierdurch können wachsmodifizierte Bitumen (WmB) recht präzise und Polymermodifizierten Bitumen (PmB) teilweise identifiziert werden. Mittels Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) werden die Schmelztemperaturen der Wachse erfasst. Hierdurch können WmB identifiziert und die Wachsarten unterschieden werden. Die Analytik mittels Dynamischem Scherrheometer (DSR) startet mit der Bestimmung der Äquisteifigkeitstemperatur EG*T. Bei EG*T werden Frequenz-, Amplituden- und MSCR-Tests durchgeführt. Die Grenze des LVE-Bereichs dient der Identifizierung von WmB. Anhand der Kennwerte bei 0,1 Hz können PmB erkannt werden. Die Rückformung (MSCRT) dient der Identifizierung von Mehrfachmodifizierungen. Da Gummimodifizierte Bitumen (GmB) bei der Extraktion erkannt werden, können alle Modifizierungsarten identifiziert werden. In den FTIR-Spektren (Fourier-Transformations-Infrarotspektroskopie) der modifizierten Bitumen verursachen einige Polymere und Wachse charakteristische Banden, wodurch diese erkannt werden. Die Identifizierung der übrigen Additive erfolgt mithilfe einer multivariaten Auswertung, wodurch mit Ausnahme der GmB (nicht erforderlich) alle Additive erkannt werden. An Stichproben konnte zudem eine Abgrenzung von Mehrfachmodifizierungen sowie eine Abschätzung der Zugabemenge erreicht werden. DSR und FTIR ermöglichen beide eine schnelle, einfache und zielsichere Identifizierung der Bitumenmodifizierungen. Durch die FTIR-Analytik können die Modifizierungen mit der größtmöglichen Präzision bestimmt werden. Die DSR-Analytik erlaubt dafür zusätzlich eine baupraktische Bewertung der Bindemittel. As polymer, rubber, wax and multi-modified bitumen are used for asphalt road construction since many years, they increasingly occur in reclaimed asphalt. To assess the reclaimed asphalt, it is therefore necessary to identify the modifications in the mixing plants. The formation of the binder bag at softening point ring and ball is characteristic for modification. In this way, wax modified bitumen (WmB) can be identified rather precisely and to a less extent polymer modified bitumen (PmB) can also be identified. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is used to record the melting temperatures of the waxes. In this way, WmB can be identified and a differentiation can be made between the wax types. The analysis by means of the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) starts with the determination of the equi-stiffness temperature EG*T. Frequency-, amplitude- and MSCR-tests are performed at EG*T. The limit of the LVE range is used to identify WmB. PmB can be identified based on the characteristic values at 0.1 Hz. Creep recovery (MSCRT) is used to identify multi-modifications. As rubber modified bitumen (GmB) is identified on extraction, all types of modification can therefore be identified. Several polymers and waxes cause characteristic bands in the FTIR spectra (Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy) of modified bitumen, which enables the identification of these additives. The other additives except the GmB (not necessary) can be identified by means of multivariate model. Further, due to random evaluations, the differentiation between single- and multi-modification as well as the estimation of the content of some additives is possible. DSR and FTIR both enable fast, simple and accurate identification of the bitumen modification. The modification can be determined with the greatest possible precision by using FTIR analysis. On the other hand, DSR analysis allows additional practical assessment of the binder on site.

T1 - Identification and quantification of additives in bituminous binders based on FTIR spectroscopy and multivariate analysis methods N2 - Bitumen is a crucial building material in road construction, which is exposed to continuously higher stresses due to higher traffic loads and changing climatic conditions. Therefore, various additives are increasingly being added to the bitumen complicating the characterisation of the bituminous binder, especially concerning the reuse of reclaimed asphalt. Therefore, this work aimed to demonstrate that the combination of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy with attenuated total reflexion (ATR) technique and multivariate evaluation is a very wellsuited method to reliable identify and quantify additives in bituminous binders. For this purpose, various unmodified and modified binders, directly and extracted from laboratory and reclaimed asphalts, were investigated with FTIR-ATR spectroscopy. The determined spectra, pre-processed by standard normal variate (SNV) transformation and the determination of the 1st derivation, were evaluated using factor Analysis (FA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and partial least square regression (PLSR). With this multivariate evaluation, first, a significant model with a very high hit rate of over 90% was developed allowing for the identification of styrene-butadiene copolymers (SBC), ethylene-copolymer bitumen (ECB) and different waxes (e.g. amide and Fischer-Tropsch wax) even if the additives do not show any additional peaks or the samples are multi-modified. Second, a quantification of the content is possible for SBC, ECB, and Amide wax with a mean error of RMSE B 0.4 wt% and a coefficient of determination of R2[90%. Based on these results, FTIR identification and quantification of additives in bituminous binders is a very promising method with a great potential.

A1 - Stephan, D. A1 - Nytus, N. A1 - Radenberg, M. A1 - Weigel, Sandra T1 - Post carbon road - The endless cycle of bitumen reuse N2 - In Germany, the reuse of asphalt has a long tradition. Since the 1980s, the reclaimed asphalt has been recycled achieving a reuse rate of around 90% and thus a very high value in the last years. In the future, instead of the amount, the quality of the reclaimed asphalt will be more important because the recycled asphalt will be reused again and again. Thus, these asphalt mixes are in the second or even third cycle of reuse. Concerning this situation, the question arises if asphalt can be reused several times without any loss in quality. An important factor affecting the asphalt quality is the binder bitumen. During the production, construction and service life, the ageing of this binder occurs causing a hardening of the bitumen. To compensate this hardening, additives for the reclaimed asphalt in terms of rejuvenation agents (rejuvenators) gain in importance. With these rejuvenators, the physical properties of bitumen can be modified e.g. the hardness and the stiffness reduced. However, the mechanism of the rejuvenation agents and the effects of the bitumen chemistry are largely unknown because the composition of the products varies very strongly. But with growing knowledge about these mechanisms and effects of the rejuvenation agents, the chemical composition and thus the physical and ageing behavior of bitumen can be targeted modified by the use of suitable rejuvenators. In this work, the actual results of the project Postcarbone road should be presented including investigations about the chemical and physical mechanisms as well as the efficiency of different rejuvenators. Further, a model for the cyclic reuse of bitumen should be developed. Based on this model, the choice of a suitable rejuvenation agent for the considered bitumen or rather asphalt should be possible. The project Postcarbone road (392670763) is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).

Several researchers have studied the production of Portland cement clinker and metallic iron from BOFS via a reductive treatment. In this study, we applied a carbothermal reduction of BOFS in a technical-scale electric arc furnace and characterised the clinker-like products. Those clinker-like non-metallic products (NMPs) had a chemical and mineralogical composition comparable to clinker for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and contained large elongated alite crystals as major component. The pure NMPs reacted more slowly and achieved a lower degree of hydration compared with commercial OPC. If the reactivity of the products can be further increased by employing specific adaptations, it can be used as a full clinker substitute for OPC. Nevertheless, it is also an option to use the material without further modifications as a cement component or concrete addition, which contributes to the strength development in both cases.

T1 - Sequential learning to accelerate discovery of alkali-activated binders N2 - Alkali-activated binders (AAB) can provide a clean alternative to conventional cement in terms of CO2 emissions. However, as yet there are no sufficiently accurate material models to effectively predict the AAB properties, thus making optimal mix design highly costly and reducing the attractiveness of such binders. This work adopts sequential learning (SL) in high-dimensional material spaces (consisting of composition and processing data) to find AABs that exhibit desired properties. The SL approach combines machine learning models and feedback from real experiments. For this purpose, 131 data points were collected from different publications. The data sources are described in detail, and the differences between the binders are discussed. The sought-after target property is the compressive strength of the binders after 28 days. The success is benchmarked in terms of the number of experiments required to find materials with the desired strength. The influence of some constraints was systematically analyzed, e.g., the possibility to parallelize the experiments, the influence of the chosen algorithm and the size of the training data set. The results show the advantage of SL, i.e., the amount of data required can potentially be reduced by at least one order of magnitude compared to traditional machine learning models, while at the same time exploiting highly complex information. This brings applications in laboratory practice within reach.

T1 - Accelerating the search for alkali-activated cements with sequential learning N2 - With 8% of man-made CO2 emissions, cement production is an important driver of the climate crisis. By using alkali-activated binders, part of the energy-intensive clinker production process can be dispensed. However, as numerous raw materials are involved in the manufacturing process here, the complexity of the materials increases by orders of magnitude. Finding a properly balanced binder formulation is like looking for a needle in a haystack. We have shown for the first time that artificial intelligence (AI)-based optimization of alkali-activated binder formulations can significantly accelerate research. The "Sequential Learning App for Materials Discovery" (SLAMD) aims to accelerate practice transfer. With SLAMD, materials scientists have low-threshold access to AI through interactive and intuitive user interfaces. The value added by AI can be determined directly. For example, the CO2 emissions saved per ton of cement can be determined for each development cycle: the more efficient the AI optimization, the greater the savings. Our material database already includes more than 120,000 data points of alternative binders and is constantly being expanded with new parameters. We are currently driving the enrichment of the data with a life cycle analysis of the building materials. Based on a case study we show how intuitive access to AI can drive the adoption of techniques that make a real contribution to the development of resource-efficient and sustainable building materials of the future and make it easy to identify when classical experiments are more efficient.
