Um den hohen konservatorischen, bauphysikalischen, bautechnischen, künstlerischen und stadträumlichen Anforderungen gerecht zu werden und mögliche Lösungen erstmalig umfassend auf ihre Effektivität zu untersuchen, war die Zusammenarbeit von Denkmalpflegern, Restauratoren, Architekten, Ingenieuren, Geologen, Materialwissenschaftlern und Bauphysikern notwendig. Das durch die Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (DBU) geförderte Projekt zielte darauf ab, in einem Modellvorhaben mit seinen Partnern, der Technischen Universität Dresden (Institut für Bauklimatik), der Universität Göttingen (Abt. Strukturgeologie und Geodynamik), der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (Fachgruppe 7.1, Baustoffe) und unter Beteiligung der Universität der Künste (Fachbereich Konstruktives Entwerfen und Tragwerkslehre) in Berlin, eine innovative und nachhaltige Wintereinhausungskonstruktion auf die besondere Situation der Marmorskulpturen der Schlossbrücke anzupassen und ihre Wirksamkeit zu überprüfen.

For these tests, the specimens are stored in an ASR-provoking environment, where the reaction is accelerated by elevated temperature and humidity. To measure the length change, the storage must be interrupted for at least a few minutes. Düring the 60 °C Concrete Prism Test (60 °C-CPT), the specimens are cooled down to 20 °C for 24 hours, to ensure the same hygrothermal conditions for every measurement. This limits the number of measurements during the test period and may lead to additional effects, that probably influence the expansion development. With a recently developed device, it is possible to continuously monitor the expansion ofprisms without interrupting the ASR-provoking storage. Due to the dense database of this automated test, the results can contribute to a better understanding of the ASR-process. This study compares results of the automated and conventional 60 °C-CPT. Tests of different aggregates showed, that the results of the automated and conventional test are consistent, but the expansions during the conventional test are generally higher. Preliminary results led to the conclusion, that the cooling for the measurements leads to additional expansions. Therefore, a modified threshold should be discussed for the automated 60 °C-CPT.

Mit der damals noch relativ jungen Technologie entstanden elegante, teilweise gewagte Bauwerke mit großen Spannweiten, welche die Vorteile der Materialien Stahl und Beton geschickt kombinieren. Die Standsicherheit einiger dieser Brücken ist heute gefährdet. Die Ursachen liegen in der enorm gewachsenen Belastung durch Schwerverkehr, teilweise ungenügender Wartung und in konstruktiven und Materialschwächen, die der mangelnden Erfahrung mit der Technologie in der Bauzeit geschuldet sind. Ein neuralgischer Punkt der Bauwerke sind die in den Beton integrierten Spannglieder. Infolge von Korrosion und Ermüdung können Elemente der Spannglieder reißen, wodurch die für das Tragwerk notwendige Spannung und somit die Tragfähigkeit reduziert werden. Nicht bei allen Brücken kündigen sichtbare Risse im Beton oder auffällige Verformungen den Tragfähigkeitsverlust bzw. das finale Versagen rechtzeitig an. Die Schallemissionsanalyse ist die derzeit einzige Methode, das Reißen einzelner Spannstähle zuverlässig und mit wirtschaftlich vertretbarem Aufwand zu detektieren. Trotzdem es schon einige Spannbetonbauwerke gibt, die mit Schallemissionsanalyse überwacht werden, ist das Verfahren noch wenig bekannt. Außerdem fehlen technische Richtlinien, was die Ausschreibung und Vergabe von entsprechenden Aufträgen und die Bewertung der Angebote sehr erschwert. Um sowohl Baulastträger als auch Dienstleistungsanbieter in den Vergabeverfahren und im Betrieb der Monitoringsysteme zu unterstützen, hat sich eine Gruppe von Experten aus den Bereichen Bauingenieurwesen und Schallemission zum Entwurf einer Richtlinie „Detektion von Spanndrahtbrüchen mit Schallemission“ zusammengefunden. Mit diesem Beitrag wird die Richtlinie vorgestellt, deren Bearbeitung bis zur SCHALL 23 abgeschlossen sein soll.

T1 - Winter Shelters For Marble Sculptures Of The Schlossbrücke Berlin: Climatic Constraints N2 - The long-term exposure of marble objects leads to a successive deterioration of the rock fabric and may cause severe damage on cultural heritage objects. The magnitude of disintegration depends on the rock fabric as well as on the climatic conditions. Some types of marble show no considerable damage even if they have been exposed in northern Europe for several decades or centuries. In contrast, other marble varieties are showing severe damage after a few years of weathering. The present study shows that marble decay, along with the initial thermal degradation, is mainly influenced by the hygric and thermo-hygric load, respectively. The influence of the rock fabric on the resistivity against weathering is also documented. The factors causing marble decay were compared to extensive climate data, which were collected during a scientific project that was started with the aim to develop a covering system for marble sculptures in Berlin. Based on the hygrothermal material properties of the marble and on the climatic conditions, the heat and moisture Transport inside the material and hence the hygrothermal load changes were calculated with a high spatial resolution. The calculations showed that the temperature and moisture fluctuations inside the material are mainly controlled by the dimensions and orientation of the sculptural elements. The current state of preservation was investigated by two-dimensional ultrasonic tomography. The results show a good correlation to the calculated distribution of the hygrothermal load. Based on this finding, requirements on a protective winter shelter system for the sculptures were defined. The project results show that in addition to protective covers, regular inspection and maintenance combined with regular cleaning ensures an effective and sustainable protection of marble objects in northern Europe.

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.

High-cyclic loadings in such structures lead to a high relevance of the subject of fatigue. A proper assessment of the fatigue strength of concrete demands therefore a basis of reliable experimental data and the development of standardized testing methods. This article presents first results of an ongoing research program of BAM (Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung) which is a part of a joint project (WinConFat) funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. The subproject investigates the effects of size and slenderness of the specimens on the fatigue behaviour of high strength concrete at different stress levels. Not only the fatigue strength, but also the fatigue process itself is monitored by means of several measurement methods. Strain measurements are used to calculate the load dependent elastic modulus in the fatigue hysteresis as indicators for fatigue development. Furthermore, the application of non-destructive methods like acoustic emission analysis and ultrasonic measurement in laboratory tests gives a deeper insight into damage processes under cyclic loading. The results shall be used to improve design rules for concrete members under fatigue load and to develop or improve non-destructive techniques for in-service structural health monitoring.

Bending beams are used, for example, in bridge girders or joists. The strength related failure modes at maximum loading can be divided into bending and shear failure that could occur with or without indication. Conventional design concepts used in practice for designing structural elements subjected to bending aim at failure modes with sufficient indication (e.g. large deflections or cracks), as it occurs in the case of secondary flexure-compression-failure. These indicators can also be used to identify structural changes of civil infrastructure systems (e.g. bridges) using non-destructive testing methods for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). However, profound knowledge on the determining failure modes of bending beams is required for the reliable application of structural health monitoring. Therefore, resulting effects of different thermal and mechanical loads on the response of a structure are investigated by means of a bridge demonstrator. The results of this investigation are used for developing a monitoring system. Different non-destructive testing (NDT) methods have been used for analyzing the deformation behavior of a reinforced concrete beam in bending. The suitability of the different measuring techniques will be discussed by means of the obtained experimental results. For this purpose, the deformation behavior of a reinforced concrete beam having a span of 2.75 m was investigated in a four-point bending flexural test at laboratory scale. The focus is on the characterization of determining failure modes by the NDT methods and the comparison with classical measuring techniques (e.g. deformation measurements by displacement transducers). The bending tests have been accompanied by Acoustic Emission analysis (AE), optical deformation measurements using Stereophotogrammetry (SP) and Digital Image Correlation (DIC). The conducted tests have shown that the three-dimensional detection of deformations and resulting strains with optical techniques is beneficial for analyzing the damage mechanism of loaded structures and related crack formation and propagation. Optical techniques can be supplemented by acoustic emission testing which gives detailed information on crack formation and progressing damage. The combination of both techniques offers the application as efficient monitoring system for larger structures.

T1 - Innovative measurement techniques for characterising internal damage processes in concrete due to ASR N2 - This paper describes an innovative, non destructive measurement methodology that has already been successfully applied. For the first time a combination of continuous recording of length change, acoustic emission and ultrasonic velocity as well as discontinuous 3-dimensional micro X-ray computed tomography (µ-3DCT) measurements has been carried out. This unique combination of innovative measurement techniques enables a continuous monitoring of internal damage processes in concrete samples due to theASR. Three phases of the ASR process have been observed in both types of concrete storage by application of the above mentioned continuous methods. In the beginning the hydration of concrete dominates, followed by the crack formation due to the ASR and finally the occurred cracks are presumably filled with reaction products. Moreover, the formation of cracks can be temporally and spatially visualized by µ-3D-CT. Microscopic analysis confirm the µ-3D-CT results.

Because of the sensors constant coupling to the medium, highly sensitive data analysis techniques, such as the correlation between signals and their attenuation, are applied to detect changes in the signal due to propagating cracks. The accuracy of the detected onset of the crack is evaluated with the nondestructive testing methods acoustic emission and Digital Image Correlation. It shows that with embedded ultrasonic sensors crack propagation can be detected before it is visible on the surface of the concrete.

For this, a detailed numerical analysis of the medium was first conducted using the spectral finite element method. Subsequently, measurements were conducted on a reinforced beam sample before and after mechanical-load-induced cracking. It was concluded that for the considered configuration, waves passing through the cracks dominated the tip-diffracted ones. In addition, substantial changes in the travel time and amplitude of the signals were observed when cracks were present.

These extreme conditions require ductile behavior under tensile loading, which is obtained solely by the working mechanism of steel fibers. Profound knowledge on the working mechanism of the steel fibers is necessary to optimize this material. Usually, this knowledge is obtained by means of classical destructive measuring techniques. Adopting measuring techniques from non-destructive material testing helps to analyze and to identify the different stages of the fracture mechanism of UHPFRC in detail. The application of different non-destructive measuring techniques is shown exemplary on tensile tests conducted on an UHPFRC mix and its applicability for analyzing the fracture behavior of such concretes is discussed. The main focus is on the characterization of the relevant failure modes under tensile loading by the different measuring techniques and the comparison with classical measuring techniques (e.g. extensometer). The tensile tests have been analyzed by optical deformation measurements using digital image correlation (DIC), acoustic emission analysis (AE), and 3D computed tomography (CT).

Cylindrical grouted sleeve connections are usually adopted in these WTG structures to connect the upper structure and foundation for ease of installation. These structures including grouted connections experience considerable adverse loading during their lifetimes. Settlements were reported inside similar connections used in energy structures especially oil and gas platforms, which were installed in last three decades. Thus, repair and rehabilitation of such connections in existing wind structures should also be planned ahead to keep them operating in the future. The nature of failure and crack generation in grouted connections are crucial prior to adopt a strengthening strategy. This pilot study is carried out to actualize the failure mechanism in the grouted connection, when subjected to axial loading. A novel reusable scaled cylindrical grouted connection with shear keys was designed and tested for its load bearing behaviour. The mechanical test was accompanied by classical measuring techniques (e.g. displacement transducer) as well as non-destructive measuring techniques (e.g. digital image correlation (DIC), acoustic emission analysis (AE)). The failure mechanism incorporating slippage of the shear keys and cracking of the grout was investigated. The capacity and applicability of such test mould were also discussed. The knowledge is expected to pave way towards repair of deteriorated grouted connections with similar geometry and failure pattern.

T. T1 - Joint sealing systems for pavements - A new approach towards a performance related evaluation of capability and durability N2 - Joint sealants influence decisively the performance and service life of pavements although they account for only a small fraction of the total investment. Motivated by the damages observed and the resulting, increasing maintenance efforts, the Federal German Government recognizes the need for performance-evaluated joint sealing systems with improved capability (fitness-for-purpose) and durability. A literature study showed that an identification of the actual mechanical system behavior under realistic loads as well as a prediction regarding the durability (fatigue, climatic effects) of joint sealing systems are either completely lacking in most of the relevant evaluation methods or have only been incompletely addressed previously. Furthermore an imbalance between commonly used test methodologies and the actual development status of modern modified sealing materials exists, i.e., the current test methods are not effective in evaluating the performance of tailor-made products. In this paper, the authors suggest a methodology to overcome the present situation. In contrast to the existing, predominantly empirical evaluation and selection of joint sealing materials and systems for pavements, the new approach is defined by verified performance under relevant and superimposed loads. This new approach is expected to allow a more engineered joint design. In addition to the adaptation of performance-oriented material identification tests, a special focus was placed on the development and installation of a complex test facility for the investigation of the service capability and durability of joint sealing systems in building constructions in general. This paper presents an attempt at the realization of this approach for pavement joints with the help of our new joint sealant test equipment utilizing a specific, adapted load function, which comprises cyclic movements (slow and fast acting), as well as crucial climatic exposures. The test data and its interpretation are discussed. For example, the actual mechanical behavior of the various joint sealing systems as well as the relevant maximum loading of cohesive and adhesive bonds can be deduced and used to differentiate between systems. Furthermore, information gained allows discrimination of products within the various joint sealing systems. The test results will also enable numerical simulations, e.g., of different joint designs or materials by finite element analysis. The fatigue behavior is detected by analysis of cycle-dependent changes of the mechanical system characteristics. The evaluation methodology further allows investigation of the degradation mechanisms of specific system failures and, thus, enables service life prediction by reproducing the performance of the complete system under realistic conditions. Constructional defects and material flaws can be activated and detected by the performance-related test methodology, thus identifying possible corrections to material selection and application procedures. The potential of the proposed evaluation methodology is discussed for several thermoplastic and reactive joint sealing systems.
