Although several techniques and approaches demonstrate these advantages, quality control during printing is highly challenging and rarely applied and harmonized standards are not existing. Due to the continuous mixing process used in 3D concrete printing, it is impossible to exclude variations in the dry mixture or water content, and a single test sample is insufficient to be representative for the whole structure. A defect in one layer during the printing can affect the entire integrity of the whole structure. This study shows the results of an arch designed as framework structure that was printed multiple times under the same boundary conditions using an extrusion-based 3D concrete printer. Each arch was tested for its mechanical strength and load bearing behavior. The results of the mechanical testing of the printed arches are compared with material data obtained by classical tests and discussed regarding their statistical significance.

Free contouring in civil engineering, which allows for entirely new designs, is a significant advantage. Although several techniques and ap-proaches demonstrate these advantages, quality control during printing is highly challenging and rarely applied. Due to the continuous mixing process used in 3D concrete printing, it is impossible to exclude variations in the dry mixture or water content, and a single test sample is insufficient to represent the whole structure. A defect in one layer during printing can affect the in-tegrity of the entire structure. Therefore, continuous and real-time process monitoring is required to record and document the printing process. At the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM), a test rig for 3D concrete printing was developed to monitor the properties during the printing process. This study investigates the relationship between geometric accuracy and process parameters (pressure, pump torque, print speed, layer height, water content) in extrusion-based 3D concrete printing. Using a high-precision laser scanner, the geometric measurements of printed concrete ele-ments are evaluated in real-time. The concrete elements are printed under controlled conditions with varied process parameters. Preliminary findings indicate a significant correlation between process variables and geometric ac-curacy.

Trotz hoher Verwertungsquoten werden Bau- und Abbruchabfälle zum Teil deponiert oder nur in Anwendungen mit geringen Qualitätsanforderungen eingesetzt, weil geeignete hochwertige Verwertungswege für solche sehr heterogen zusammengesetzte Körnungen mit hohem Feinanteil fehlen. Der Reststoff Mauerwerkbruch ist ein heterogenes SiO2-reiches Gemisch aus Ziegel-, Beton- und Leichtbeton-, Kalksandstein- und Porenbetonbruch sowie Putz- und Mörtelanhaftungen. Die uneinheitliche Zusammensetzung und mehr als 50 % Feinanteile durch die mechanische Aufbereitung verhindern eine unmittelbare Wiederverwertung als rezyklierte Gesteinskörnung. Eine Möglichkeit der effektiven Verwertung von Mauerwerkbruch stellt das rohstoffliche Recycling über einen hydrothermalen Stoffumwandlungsprozess dar, bei dem poröse Granulate entstehen. Aus den Eigenschaften der Hydrothermalgranulate, insbesondere ihrer Porenstruktur, ergeben sich Anwendungsmöglichkeiten als Filter- oder Speichermaterial, d. h. auch in Bereichen, die über den Bausektor hinausgehen. Hierbei können die Granulate Gesteinskörnungen natürlichen Ursprungs, z. B. Lavasand und Bims, oder aus natürlichen Rohstoffen hergestellte Körnungen, z. B. Blähtone, ersetzen. Somit wird ein Beitrag zur Schonung natürlicher Ressourcen und zur Energieeinsparung im Vergleich zur Blähtonherstellung geleistet. Ziel des ZIM-Kooperationsprojekts „HYTEGRA – Hydrothermalgranulate“ war die Entwicklung des Verfahrens zur Herstellung leichter Gesteinskörnungen durch die hydrothermale Behandlung eines Gemischs quarz- und kalkreicher Reststoffe. Als Ausgangsstoffe dienten ziegelhaltiger Mauerwerkbruch als SiO2-Träger und Papierasche aus dem Altpapierrecycling als CaO-Träger. Die vollständige Prozesskette von der mechanisch-physikalischen Aufbereitung der Reststoffe über die Formgebung der Grüngranulate bis zur hydrothermalen Härtung der Leichtgranulate wurde im Labormaßstab entwickelt und erprobt. Die Anwendung der Hydrothermalgranulate als Speichermaterial zur inneren Nachbehandlung von Beton und als Pflanzsubstrat sowie als Filtermaterial in Bodenfiltern zur Abwasserbehandlung wurde untersucht. Im Vortrag wird ein Überblick über die Ergebnisse des erfolgreich abgeschlossenen Projekts „HYTEGRA“ gegeben.

T1 - Schädigung von Stahlbetonplatten infolge eines harten Anpralls - Vergleich von halb-empirischen Methoden und experimentellen Ergebnissen N2 - Schutzbauwerke von systemkritischen Infrastruktureinrichtungen wie Betonwände und Betonbarrieren müssen Anprallereignissen oder schweren Unfällen in einem vertretbaren Maße widerstehen können. Anprallereignisse können verschiedenster Natur sein. Hierzu zählen Steinschlag, Fahrzeug- oder Flugzeuganprall oder auch Geschosseinschlag. Geschosseinschläge bzw. Bei den Anprall- oder Impaktereignissen wird zwischen hartem und weichem Anprall unterschieden, bei hartem Anprall verformt sich der Anprallkörper nicht oder nur geringfügig, bei weichem Anprall stark. In diesem Artikel werden Forschungsergebnisse zum harten Anprall auf bewehrte Stahlbetonplatten vorgestellt, welche über die letzten Jahre im Rahmen eines Kooperationsprojekts zwischen dem Institut für Massivbau (IMB) der Technischen Universität Dresden (TUD) und der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) durchgeführt wurden. Auf dem Gelände des Otto-Mohr-Labors (OML) der TUD steht hierfür ein speziell konzipierter Fallturm zur Verfügung. Der Aufbau im Fallturm lässt aktuell druckluftbeschleunigte Impaktversuche mit mittleren Anprallgeschwindigkeiten zu. Die durch Anprall geschädigten Stahlbetonplatten wurden anschließend bei der BAM mit Strahlung tomographisch untersucht. Diese Untersuchungen ermöglichen einen Blick auf die Schädigung und Rissstruktur im Inneren der Stahlbetonplatten. Ein Schwerpunkt der durchgeführten Untersuchung ist der Vergleich von Testergebnissen mit den häufig angewendeten halbempirischen Berechnungsmethoden zu den erforderlichen Wandstärken und den sich daraus ergebenden zulässigen Anprallgeschwindigkeiten. Bei diesem Vorgehen wird auch die mit analytischen Methoden abschätzbare Durchdringungsgeschwindigkeit bzw. Austrittgeschwindigkeit eines Projektils ermittelt und mit den realen Testergebnissen verglichen. Außerdem wird der Einfluss von sowohl externen als auch internen Strukturparametern auf Risse betrachtet und ein Fazit abgeleitet. Weiterhin werden laufende und zukünftige wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Anprall auf Betonstrukturen am IMB und der BAM genannt. T2 - 18.

Ettringite forms by reaction of sulfate contained in the cement or in some admixture with calcium aluminate (C3A) as cement component. The “late primary ettringite formation” promotes an increase in volume within the hardened concrete leading to cracks. To analyze the effect of substituting part of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) by a treated brown coal fly ash mortar bars were tested according to ASTM C452. This test method was originally developed to extrapolate from the internal to external sulfate attack and is based on the idea that by testing a concrete mixture containing sulfate the process of deterioration is accelerated because it does not have to diffuse into the concrete before reaction first. In addition to the samples prescribed in ASTM C452 further samples in the size of the German SVA procedure were tested also designed for accessing the external sulfate resistance. The results show that while the replacement of 25 % of cement by brown coal fly ash leads to length changes around the limit defined by ASTM, the substitution of 50 % cement exceeded the limit by a multiple. The progress of expansion is the very similar for the two geometries tested. In-situ XRD measurements confirmed that while for pastes made of OPC the formation of ettringite is completed after 20 hours, this is not true for the mixtures containing the brown coal fly ash. In a different study the effect of hydrothermal treatment on the phase composition of ultra-high-performance concrete was analyzed. The results show that the sulfate and aluminate resulting from the decomposition of ettringite are bound into new phases. If this binding is permanent this might allow the larger use of sulfate bearing raw materials.

In conventional construction methods, a sample is taken to be representative for one material batch. However, in 3DCP continuous mixing is used which results in variations during the mixing process. Therefore, one sample is not representative for the entire structure. This leads to the necessity of continuous and real-time process monitoring. This study focuses on the variations of pressure and temperature which are caused by changes in the material due to the ongoing mixing process. Changes in material, which is transported downstream, are influencing sensor signals in different positions with a time delay. In the following, the data is analysed to investigate if the changing material and the so caused change in pressure can be used to calculate volume flow.

Due to the complexity of the problem, it still causes damage to concrete constructions worldwide. The publication aims to illustrate the interdisciplinary research of the German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) within the last 20 years, considering all aspects of ASR topics from the macro to the micro level. First, methods for characterization and assessment of ASR risks and reaction products used at BAM are explained and classified in the international context. Subsequently the added value of the research approach by combining different, preferably nondestructive, methods across all scales is explained using specific examples from a variety of research projects. Aspects covered range from the development of new test-setups to assess aggregate reactivity, to analysis of microstructure and reaction products using microscopical, spectroscopical and X-ray methods, to the development of a testing methodology for existing concrete pavements including in-depth analysis of the visual damage indicator and the de-icing salt input using innovative testing techniques. Finally, research regarding a novel avoidance strategy that makes use of internal hydrophobization of the concrete mix is presented.

Since the aerosols of Phenolphthalein are suspected to be carcinogenic, efforts have been intensified to use alternative indicators for the determination of carbonation depth. The subject and aim of this research paper are to examine indicator solutions from Alizarin Yellow R, Thymol Blue and a Mixed Indicator. These indicator solutions are commercially available and are not suspected to be carcinogenic. For the purpose of this research, samples previously stored under accelerated carbonation conditions (1% CO2) were examined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and examination of the pH value.

Trotz hoher Verwertungsquoten werden Bau- und Abbruchabfälle zum Teil deponiert, weil geeignete und rentable Verwertungswege fehlen. Der Reststoff Mauerwerkbruch ist ein heterogenes SiO2-reiches Gemisch aus Ziegel, Beton- und Leichtbetonsteinen, Kalksandstein, Porenbeton, Putz und Mörtel. Die un-einheitliche Zusammensetzung und mehr als 50 % Feinanteile durch die mechanische Aufbereitung verhindern meist eine unmittelbare Wiederverwertung als RC-Gemisch. Eine Möglichkeit der effektiven Verwertung von Mauerwerkbruchmehlen stellt das rohstoffliche Recycling über einen hydrothermalen Stoffumwandlungsprozess dar, bei dem poröse Granulate entstehen. Aus den Granulateigenschaften, insbesondere der Porenstruktur, ergeben sich Anwendungen als Filter- oder Speichermaterial, d. h. auch in Bereichen, die über den Bausektor hinausgehen. Hierbei können die Granulate leichte Gesteinskörnungen natürlichen Ursprungs, z. B. Lavasand oder Blähtone, ersetzen und somit einen Beitrag zur Schonung natürlicher Ressourcen leisten. Im Fokus des aktuellen ZIM-Projekts HYTEGRA steht die Entwicklung eines solchen hydrothermalen Herstellungsprozesses und die umfassende Charakterisierung der hergestellten Hydrothermalgranulate. Als sekundäre Rohstoffquelle wird neben SiO2-reichem Mauerwerkbruch aus Bau- und Abbruchabfällen auch CaO-reiche Papierasche eingesetzt. Die-se Asche aus dem Altpapierrecycling weist ebenfalls ein erhebliches Verwertungsdefizit auf. Ihr Freikalk ermöglicht den Einsatz als Kalksubstitut. Die Herstellung der Hydrothermalgranulate erfolgt in einem mehrstufigen mechanischen Prozess mit abschließender hydrothermaler Behandlung. Das konventionell mechanisch aufbereitete Abbruchmaterial (RC-Gemisch < 32 mm) wird mittels Kugelmühle zu einem Mehl (< 120 µm) verarbeitet, welches im Intensivmischer unter Zugabe von Kalk und Wasser granuliert wird. Die Härtung der Grüngranulate erfolgt hydrothermal unter erhöhtem Druck in gesättigter Wasserdampfatmosphäre bei Temperaturen von etwa 200 °C. Während des Härtungsprozesses bilden sich aus Quarz (SiO2), Kalk (CaO) und Wasser Calciumsilicathydrat-Phasen, die für die benötigte Festigkeit und Porosität der Hydrothermalgranulate sorgen. Durch die Variation der Syntheseparameter Temperatur, Druck, Zeit und SiO2-CaO-Mischungsverhältnis während der hydrothermalen Härtung, aber auch durch die Prozessführung der Granulierung, wird die Variation und gezielte Einstellung der Eigenschaften der Hydrothermalgranulate ermöglicht. In Kooperation mit Industriepartnern werden die hergestellten Hydrothermalgranulate in verschiedenen Applikationsbereichen getestet, z.B. in Bodenfiltern zur Abwasserbehandlung sowie als temporärer Wasserspeicher zur inneren Nachbehandlung von hochfestem Beton und in Pflanzsubstraten. Im Tagungsbeitrag wird das Projekt HYTEGRA vorgestellt, insbesondere der hydrothermale Verwertungsweg unter Verwendung von Mauerwerkbruch und Papierasche im Labor- und Technikumsmaßstab sowie die Anwendung der hergestellten porösen Granulate als Filter- und Speichermaterial.

Diese Eigenschaften machen sie zu Baustoffen der Zukunft. Wasserbeständigkeit ist ein wichtiger Aspekt, der beim Einsatz beachtet werden muss. Es gibt verschiedene Ansätze zur Stabilisierung, Idealerwelse sollen dabei die positiven Aspekte des Lehms, wie beispielsweise die Luftfeuchteregullerung, bewahrt werden. Zement ist hierfür nur bedingt geeignet. Als Alternative zur Stabilisierung mit Zement wurden in einer Versuchsreihe Mischungen mit calclnierten Tonen untersucht. Diese bei 600 °C auf CO2 sparende Welse erzeugten, lokal verfügbaren Rohstoffe, können mittels Alkall-Aktivierung zu einem festen „Geopolymer" vernetzt werden. Zur Aktivierung wurde eine lokal verfügbare Biomasseasche aus Hackschnitzelholz, sowie Industriell hergestelltes KOH genutzt, da das in beiden enthaltene Kalium das umweltverträglichste Alkallion Ist. In einer Versuchsreihe wurde das Verhalten des reinen Lehms mit dem stabilisierten Material verglichen.

T1 - Electrochemical realkalisation of carbonated "Dalle de Verre" windows 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.

Obwohl die Vorteile der additiven Fertigung bereits durch zahlreiche Forschungs- und Demonstrationsprojekte gezeigt wurden, ist die Qualitätskontrolle während des Druckens äußerst anspruchsvoll und wird auch aufgrund fehlender harmonisierter Normen kaum angewendet. Aufgrund des kontinuierlichen Mischprozesses beim 3D-Betondruck ist es unmöglich Schwankungen des Trockenmörtels oder des Wassergehalts auszuschließen. Daher ist eine einzelne Stichprobe nicht mehr repräsentativ für das gesamte Bauteil und ein während des Druckens in einer Schicht auftretender Fehler kann die Integrität der gesamten Struktur beeinträchtigen.

This concerns both purely structural protection and protection against liquids penetrating the interior of the containment. Due to the dimensions of the containment structures, it is difficult to perform real scale impact experiments, so in the past decades plate geometries at medium scale have been used for investigations.

The following investigations deal with the single and multiple impact event (first hard impact and/or subsequent soft impact) on a RC specimen, which provides the basis for further investigations. A description of the test setup and the test procedure as well as a presentation of the test results from the impact tests are provided. Furthermore, the experimental program is presented, which the damaged RC specimens are to undergo to deal with the question of how much the impact-damaged RC structure has become permeable to liquid media, such as water and kerosene, depending on the intensity of the impact. The aim of these following investigations is to develop a test setup that can be applied to investigate the liquid penetration behaviour (LPB) of small, medium, and large-scale RC members. In addition to the liquid penetration experiments, the damaged specimens are to be examined by planar tomography to obtain the damage inside the specimen. The combination of damaging event, fluid penetration behaviour and tomography should enable a comprehensive understanding of the damage to the RC specimen.

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.

In the joint research project “REALight”, LWA were produced from masonry rubble in a thermal expanding process using a pilot production plant with a rotary kiln. Our research focuses on the characterisation of the novel LWA and their use in different hydraulically bound applications. Infra-lightweight concrete (ILC) was produced with the novel LWA, which accounts for two thirds of total aggregate volume, and Celitement, which is a hydraulic binder with a low carbon footprint. Its dry bulk density is ≤ 800 kg/m³. Strength and durability properties are comparable to ILC data from the literature. Lime-based repair mortars (LRM) containing LWA are beneficial for sandstone conservation due to their similar properties regarding porosity, water absorption and strength. A two-layer repair mortar system, which consists of a filling mortar to fill large voids and a covering mortar to modulate the surface texture to the historic sandstone, was developed. In our contribution, we present results of the LWA characterisation according to the European standard EN 13055:2016. Requirements and challenges of the use of the novel LWA in ILC and LRM are discussed. T2 - V. International Conference Progress of Recycling in the Built Environment (V.

N2 - Infra-lightweight concrete exhibits an extremely low dry bulk density of up to 800 kg/m³ while also providing sufficient strength, resulting in low thermal and acoustic conductivity. This allows it to be used as exposed concrete in wall panels without requiring an additional insulating layer. Using lightweight granular materials in infra-lightweight concrete appears to be promising for reducing its environmental footprint and thus enabling energy-efficient and sustainable construction. Lightweight granules are produced from mixed masonry rubble in a thermo-chemical process. In addition to being an alternative to conventional lightweight aggregates, their use also provides the opportunity to put waste products to good use. This article reports on lightweight granules, their use in infra-lightweight concrete, and related tests in comparison to conventional expanded clay.

For the calibration and validation of numerical models as well, blast tests must be carried out. However, true-scale prototype testing under different blast loading scenarios is not always feasible. Reliable small-scale experiments are a promising alternative. Application of dimensional analysis and similarity principals can be found in different engineering fields. For applications to the phenomenon of shock wave propagation, Hopkinson-Cranz or cube-root scaling is a well-established concept. When it comes to the scaling the structural response, research has predominantly focused on structures made of metallic materials. Scaled investigations with concrete or reinforced concrete (RC) structures remain limited, specifically under blast loading. In a preliminary study, we tested RC slabs at two different scales under near-field blast loading. Replica scaling, which is geometrical scaling while using the same materials at different scales, was implemented in the construction of the test specimens. The assessment of scaling and the discrepancy in its application was investigated by characterizing the blast loads, dynamic response, and damage. The experiments were supplemented by numerical simulations of these scenarios. The quantification of scenario-and-response-specific discrepancy can be used to modify the scaling laws, so that a blast assessment can be performed based on resource efficient small-scale tests.

The issues of choosing appropriate material models and comparison of results with multiple software tools will be discussed. This discussion forms the basis for a coherent approach to technical-safety assessment of blast effects on structures in its broader sense.

Such test results are necessary to clarify the causes within the scope of forensic investigations. To gain important insights into the behavior of structures and materials under such loading, field tests may also be performed in accordance with different test standards. To determine the resistance of building-structures after explosions, estimation of the residual load-bearing capacity in addition to the assessment of dynamic structural response and damage to the building components is important. In most cases an evaluation of structural integrity is based only on the visual damage, resulting in an overestimation of the residual capacity. The Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) operates the Test site for Technical Safety (TTS) on an area measuring about 12 km2 in the Federal State of Brandenburg for execution of true-to-scale explosion tests. At the TTS, building component testing was performed to assess the suitability of different non-destructive testing methods to characterize the dynamic structural response and damage resulting from the detonation of high explosives. Different blast-loading scenarios were realized by varying the net explosive mass and the standoff distance with all scenarios representing a near-field detonation. The test object was a reinforced concrete wall 2 m high, 2.5 m wide and 20 cm thick, fixed at both vertical edges. The dynamic loading of the wall was characterized with 8 piezoelectric pressure sensors flush-mounted on the front surface, thus measuring the reflected pressures from the shock wave. The tests were conducted with the aim of characterizing the global behavior of the wall under dynamic shock loading and the resulting local damage pattern, respectively. High speed digital image correlation was implemented in combination with multiple acceleration sensors to observe the rear surface of the wall to chart the dynamic deflection during the loading and to determine the residual deformation after the loading had ceased. In addition, one test specimen was instrumented with fiber optic sensor cables, both fixed to the rebars and embedded in the concrete-matrix, respectively. Firstly, these sensors were interrogated during the blast test by a distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) device using a particularly high sampling rate to measure the shock-induced vibrations in the structure with high temporal resolution. This delivers information on dynamics of compression and tension cycles from within the structure. Secondly, the local damage-pattern emerging during the series of blasts was determined via distributed fiber optic strain sensing (DSS) by interrogating the embedded fiber optic sensors with a high spatial resolution DSS device after each blast. This enabled the characterization of non-visual damage to the structure, in particular with regard to the formation of localized cracks in the concrete matrix. The DSS was further complimented by a structure-scanner based on ultrasonic measurements. Our contribution describes this new test approach in detail. Results of the three datasets, namely dynamic shock loading, global behavior of the test object and the local damage pattern will be presented. The suitability of the implemented measurement methods will be discussed in combination with the challenges in their application for technical safety evaluation of building components under explosive loading.

Using a drop tower, concrete slabs were subjected to controlled impacts with a 404 kg impactor dropped from a height of 9.5 meters. The tests included force measurements, photogrammetric evaluations, and 3D scans to analyze deformations and damage.

T1 - Balancing the Mechanical Performance and Environmental Sustainability of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete N2 - Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) can have improved durability and tensile properties, potentially enabling the more efficient use of concrete and lowering greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Yet, systematic quantifications of the environmental impacts of FRC, particularly when paired with changes to mechanical properties and the implications for material longevity, are limited. Herein, an assessment following the life-cycle assessment methodology for four common FRCs was performed, namely, those reinforced with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), steel (ST), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The analysis was bound to a cradle-to-gate scope, and solely virgin fiber material production was considered for the environmental impacts. Coupled changes in compressive and tensile strength, environmental impacts, and the role of material longevity and cost relative to unreinforced concrete were examined. Findings from this work show that, similar to unreinforced concrete, cement remains a key source of GHG emissions in FRC production. However, in FRCs fibers can drive additional emissions by up to 55%. Notably, PVA and ST led to the highest impacts and costs, which were minimal for inclusions of PP and PET. Yet ST contributed to the greatest benefits in flexural and compressive strengths. When the effects of longevity were integrated, FRC with PP reinforcement could offer desired emissions reductions with minimal increase in use period and cost, but the other fiber reinforcements considered may need to offer longer service life extension to reduce emissions compared with conventional concrete. These results indicate that FRC can enhance mechanical performance, but fiber type selections should be informed by the design life to achieve actual GHG emissions reductions.

We present an extended analysis of long-term multi–sensory monitoring and non–destructive testing (NDT) inspection of two laboratory specimens aiming at potential materials for sealing structures for nuclear waste repositories. Specimens with a volume of 340 litres made from newly developed alkali–activated materials (AAM) and established salt concrete (SC) were analysed using embedded acoustic emission and wireless radio-frequency identification (RFID) sensors, ultrasonic echo imaging, active thermography, and X–ray computed tomography. The monitoring analysis showed lower heat of reaction and 50% less acoustic emission events in AAM compared to SC. However, due to the surface effects of the AAM material, the number of acoustic emission events increased significantly after approximately two months of monitoring. Subsequently performed NDT inspections reliably located embedded sensors and confirmed the absence of major cracks or impurities. The presented laboratory results show the feasibility and potential of comprehensive NDT monitoring and inspection to characterise cementitious and alternative materials as well as the need for multi–parameter long–term monitoring. Thus, our study demonstrates that tailored NDT investigations will help to develop safe sealing structures for nuclear waste repositories.

As these sealing structures have high demands concerning integrity, we aim at advancing the available construction materials, monitoring, and inspection techniques within the project SealWasteSafe. A specifically developed alkali-activated material is compared to classical salt concrete. A comprehensive multi-sensory monitoring scheme is used at 150-340 l specimens to monitor setting and hardening of both materials. All sensors are demonstrated to resist the highly alkaline environments. Besides cabled and wireless temperature and humidity of the materials, strain variations using fibre optic sensors and acoustic emissions are recorded over periods of at least 28 days, partly for more than eight months. After hardening of the specimens, further nondestructive evaluations using ultrasonic echo and thermographic measurements are conducted. Preliminary results proof the suitability of the tested sensors and clearly highlight differences between the tested materials. Particularly, the newly developed alkali-activated material shows lower acoustic emission activity indicating less cracking activity. Additionally, unique ultrasonic methods will enable better images of potential internal objects and cracks at in-situ sealing structures. A largescale ultrasonic system is optimised to reliably detect objects at a depth exceeding 9 m while still obtaining a good resolution. Modelling studies show the potential of further increasing the distance between individual transducer arrays. Additionally, a new ultrasonic borehole probe using phased arrays allowing for beam focussing is constructed and tested. Laboratory measurements at a halfcylindrical concrete specimen coincide well with the previous modelling. In total, the presented safe materials, detailed monitoring approaches and ultrasonic quality assurance methods will help to obtain safe sealing structures within salt as a host rock. The concepts can partly be transferred to sealing structures in alternative host rocks and will also be valuable for non-nuclear waste repositories.

The material used in these barriers must be adapted to the host rock parameters. Shrinking and cracking must be avoided to provide a barrier with almost zero permeability. For repositories in salt rock environments, several types of salt concrete (SC) are possible construction materials. Within the project SealWasteSafe, we compared the behavior of an innovative alkali-activated material (AAM) with standard SC in their hydration and hardening phase. To monitor the microstructural changes within the two materials SC and AAM, acoustic emission (AE) signals have been recorded for up to ~250 days on 340-litercubic specimens. The phenomenon of AE is defined as the emission of elastic waves in materials due to the release of localized internal energy. Such energy release can be caused by the nucleation of micro-fracture, e.g., in concrete while curing or when exposed to load. The occurrence of AE events gives first rough indications of microstructural changes and potentially occurring cracking and thus, provides insights for structural health monitoring (SHM). The results show, that for the first 28 days after casting, less AE activity was detected in the AAM compared to SC. After 61 days, in the AAM material, the number of AE events exceeded those observed in the SC. However, the majority of the AE detected and located in AAM was related to surface effects, and not to microstructural changes or occurring cracks within the bulk volume. Additionally, the source location analysis indicated, that despite lower activity in SC, we observed some clustering of the events. In contrast, in AAM, the activity inside the specimen is randomly distributed over the whole volume. The monitoring results help to estimate the material’s sealing properties which are crucial to assess their applicability as sealing material for engineered barriers.

T1 - Powder-bed 3D printing by selective activation of magnesium phosphate cement: Determining significant processing parameters and their effect on mechanical strength 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.

Für forensische Zwecke werden oft Explosionsszenarien nachgebildet, um die Auswirkung von Anschlägen oder Unfällen genau untersuchen zu können. Feldversuche in Kombination mit numerischen Simulationen ermöglichen eine Charakterisierung der Belastung und Schädigung von Bauteilen und Strukturen unter hochdynamischen Explosionsbelastungen. Auf dem Testgelände Technische Sicherheit (TTS) der BAM in Horstwalde, Brandenburg werden Sprengversuche im Real-Maßstab durchgeführt. Dabei werden Bauteile mit Messtechnik ausgestattet, um eine dynamische Strukturcharakterisierung mittels sensorbasierten Monitorings zu ermöglichen. In diesem Vortrag werden am Beispiel einer Versuchskampagne mit einer Stahlbetonwand als Prüfkörper die Eignung verschiedener Prüfmethoden bei Sprengversuchen evaluiert. Es werden Messmethoden zur Charakterisierung der Explosionsereignisse, des globalen Strukturverhaltens sowie der lokalen Schädigung vorgestellt. Die direkte Charakterisierung der Explosionsbelastung erfolgt mit Hilfe von piezo-elektrischen Druckaufnehmern (bündig mit der Oberfläche im Prüfkörper montiert) und High-Speed-Kameras. Die Beobachtung der explosionsinduzierten Reaktion des Bauteils während und nach dem Eintreffen der Stoßwelle erfolgt mittels Beschleunigungssensoren, Stereo-Fotogrammetrie sowie mit in den Prüfkörper eingebetteter verteilter faseroptischer Sensoren, mit Hilfe derer die Dehnungsraten im Bauteil zeit- und ortsaufgelöst gemessen werden können. Die faseroptischen Sensoren erlauben außerdem die örtlich hochaufgelöste Bestimmung statischer Dehnungsänderungen im Bauteil nach einem Versuch, sodass auch nicht sichtbare Schädigungen wie kleinste Risse detektiert und charakterisiert werden können. Vergleichende Messungen mit Ultraschall komplettieren die Schadenscharakterisierung.

Bereits 2008 war die Zementproduktion für 5% des weltweiten, anthropogenen CO2-Ausstoßes verantwortlich (2). Um die prozessbedingten CO2-Emissionen zu senken, wird der Zement bereits durch gewisse Mengen an Sekundärrohstoffen wie Flugasche, Silicastaub oder Hüttensandmehl (Hochofenschlacke) substituiert. Das Potenzial für weitere Modifikationen ist inzwischen begrenzt (3). Zudem ist eine hohe Lebensdauer der Konstruktionen in vielen Anwendungsbereichen nur bedingt realisierbar. Spätestens mit Erreichen der geplanten Nutzungsdauer müssen Stahlbetonkonstruktionen mit zementgebundenen Systemen instandgesetzt werden, was im ökonomischen und ökologischen Sinne keine nachhaltige Lösung darstellt. Die Verwendung neuer Baustoffe wie alkalisch aktivierte Mörtel hält sich bisher in Grenzen (4), sodass die Akzeptanz durch praxisnahe Forschung adressiert werden muss. Vorangegangene Forschungsergebnisse zeigen, dass alkalisch aktivierte Bindemittel vielversprechende technische Eigenschaften besitzen. So zeigen sich im Vergleich zu herkömmlichem Portlandzement ein ausgesprochen wirkungsvoller Verbund zu Stahl und Zementmörtel (5), (6), eine hohe chemische Beständigkeit sowie ein Erfolg versprechendes Abwitterungsverhalten bei Frost-Tau-Wechseln (7). Mit diesen Eigenschaften können alkalisch aktivierte Mörtel einen erheblichen Beitrag zur dauerhaften Betoninstandsetzung leisten und somit durch die verringerten CO2-Emmissionen dem Prinzip des nachhaltigen Bauens gerecht werden. Wichtig für die Produktion im größeren Maßstab ist die Verfügbarkeit der möglichen Reststoffe, um eine CO2-positivere Bilanz abzubilden. Im Zuge des Forschungsvorhabens sollen Rezepturen für Instandsetzungsprodukte entworfen werden, die auf alkalisch aktivierte industrielle Reststoffe zurückgreifen und die Anforderungen an konventionelle Instandsetzungsprodukte erfüllen. Hierzu wurden potenzielle Ausgangs-stoffe mit Natriumcarbonat aktiviert und die Verarbeitbarkeit der Leime sowie die Druckfestigkeiten nach sieben Tagen verglichen. Hüttensandmehl reagiert ausreichend mit diesem Aktivator, was sich mit Ergebnissen von (8) und (9) deckt. Es werden 〖CO〗_3^(2-)-Ionen in das System eingebaut, was zu einer anfänglichen Erstarrung des Gefüges durch die Bildung von Carbonaten (Calcit und Hydrotalcit) führt. Nach einer längeren dormanten Phase bilden sich zusätzlich Hydratphasen, die die Festigkeit weiter erhöhen. Weiterhin ist die chemische Zusammensetzung der Schlacken für die Erhärtung und die späteren Eigenschaften von großer Bedeutung (10), (11), was mit einer Parameterstudie im laufenden Jahr an natriumcarbonataktivierten Schlacken näher betrachtet werden soll. Erkenntnisse aus vergleichenden Versuchen durch (12) bestätigen die Einflussnahme der chemischen Zusammensetzung. Die übrigen Reststoffe konnten mit anderen Aktivatoren (z. B. Natriumsilicat und -hydroxid) zu einer Reaktion angeregt werden. Im Hinblick auf die Akzeptanz der alkalisch aktivierten Bindemittel stellen diese Aktivatoren jedoch bei der Herstellung höhere technische Anforderungen an das Personal und die verwendeten Geräte im Vergleich zur konventionellen Beton- und Mörteltechnik. Die Aktivierung mittels Alkalicarbonaten ermöglicht die Herstellung von Beton bzw. Mörtel nach dem üblichen „just add water“-Prinzip (13). Aktuell wird unter Einbindung einer studentischen Abschlussarbeit eine Rezeptur mit Hüttensandmehl hinsichtlich der Frisch- und Festeigenschaften charakterisiert und einer Referenzmischung – basierend auf Portlandzement – gegenübergestellt. Hieraus resultierende Ergebnisse sollen neben den Erkenntnissen aus den Vorversuchen zur Konferenz vorgestellt und ein Ausblick auf die weitere Forschungsarbeit gegeben werden.

Schriftenreihe des Netzwerks zur interdisziplinären Kulturerhaltung hatte ich angeführt, dass bei der Untersuchung von kulturellen Artefakten naturwissenschaftliche Untersuchungsmethoden zunehmend an Bedeutung gewinnen, sie eigentlich unverzichtbar geworden sind. Ein besonders einprägsames Beispiel dieser fächerübergreifenden Zusammenarbeit zwischen Geisteswissenschaften, Naturwissenschaften und Restaurierungswissenschaften war die Ausstellung Johannes Vermeer. Vom Innehalten, die in diesem Jahr in der Gemäldegalerie Alter Meister in den staatlichen Kunstsammlungen Dresden gezeigt wurde. Eigens für diese Ausstellung wurde das Gemälde Brieflesendes Mädchen am offenen Fenster einer grundlegenden Restaurierung unterzogen. Diese Restaurierung diente jedoch nicht nur der Reparatur des Bildes. Um sich dem ursprünglichen Zustand des Gemäldes zwischen 1657 und 1659 anzunähern, wurden später hinzugefügte Malschichten großflächig abgenommen. Möglich wurde dies durch unterschiedliche, bildgebende materialwissenschaftliche Untersuchungen im Vorfeld, welche die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen für die Diskussion über den weiteren Umgang mit der Lesenden schufen. Materialanalytische Verfahren wurden und werden ständig weiterentwickelt und optimiert. Sei es, um aus einer Vielzahl von Einzelmessungen ein Gesamtbild zu erstellen, oder die Größe einer Probenentnahme so zu reduzieren, dass von einer „minimal-invasiven“ oder „quasi nicht-invasiven“ Untersuchung ausgegangen werden kann. Nun feiert die Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung, zusammen mit ihren Vorgängerinstitutionen, den königlichen Versuchsanstalten, in diesem Jahr ihren einhundertfünfzigsten Geburtstag. Sie blickt damit auf eine lange Tradition materialwissenschaftlicher Analysen zurück, an deren Beginn beispielsweise die metallographischen Untersuchungen von Adolf Martens stehen. Derartige Untersuchungen bilden auch heute noch einen wesentlichen Bestandteil archäometallurgischer Forschung. Die Historie bzw. die Weiterentwicklung der Methodik lässt sich hier besonders gut nachzeichnen. Jedoch blicken auch Verfahren zur Charakterisierung weiterer Werkstoffe, wie Glas, Keramik, oder organischer Materialien auf eine lange Geschichte zurück. Die in diesem Band der N.i.Ke.-Schriftenreihe präsentierten Beiträge dokumentieren einerseits aktuelle Forschungsarbeiten, die erst in diesem Jahr in entsprechenden Fachjournalen publiziert wurden, andererseits liegen einige der Arbeiten bereits 50 Jahre zurück. Sie bekunden damit nicht nur die materialtechnologische und historische Bandbreite der Projekte, sondern offenbaren die Vielfältigkeit kulturhistorischer oder restauratorischer Fragestellungen, zu deren Beantwortung natur- und materialwissenschaftliche Forschung wesentliche Beiträge liefern können.

Regulators and design engineers know that reinforced concrete structures can only be developed with high efficiency by considering nonlinear structural and highly nonlinear material behavior. Therefore, specific guidelines on impact design provide instructions for design and analysis of structures required to resist impact loading. These instructions are usually based on published results and evaluated data of impact experiments carried out in laboratories. To widen the knowledge and increase the scientific data the Institute of Concrete Structures (IMB) at TUD Dresden University of Technology (TUD) has carried out many impact experiments on reinforced concrete specimens in recent years. A specially designed drop tower is available for this purpose on the premises of the Otto Mohr Laboratory, TUD. In the framework of the past research at TUD some important issues, such as influence of rebar arrangement, structural thickness, scalability of specimen and repeatability, with regard to experimental impact testing were investigated. This article presents the drop tower facility and research results of impact experiments on reinforced concrete slabs. First, the scalability of impact experiments will be discussed in conjunction with already known theoretical scaling parameters provided by researchers in the past, e.g. Rüdiger et al. [1]. Scalability of experimental data is of huge importance since protective structures made of reinforced concrete differ usually in size in comparison to experimental specimens. The second important research focus is on repeatably of impact experiments. Since impact experiments are usually time consuming and expensive, a certain impact scenario is mostly carried out only once. It is intended to show the range of deviation of impact tests on some already carried out experiments on reinforced concrete slabs. A possible standard deviation is estimated for the applied test setup.

T1 - Lightweight aggregates made from construction and demolition waste - Application in lightweight concrete and mortars N2 - Heterogeneous construction and demolition waste can be used as raw material to produce lightweight aggregates (LWA) similar to expanded clays. In the joint research project “REALight”, LWA were produced from masonry rubble in a thermal expanding process using a pilot production plant with a rotary kiln. Our research focuses on the characterisation of the novel LWA and their use in different hydraulically bound applications. Infra-lightweight concrete (ILC) was produced with the novel LWA, which accounts for two thirds of total aggregate volume, and Celitement, which is a hydraulic binder with a low carbon footprint. Its dry bulk density is ≤ 800 kg/m³. Strength and durability properties are comparable to ILC data from the literature. Lime-based repair mortars (LRM) containing LWA are beneficial for sandstone conservation due to their similar properties regarding porosity, water absorption and strength. A two-layer repair mortar system, which consists of a filling mortar to fill large voids and a covering mortar to modulate the surface texture to the historic sandstone, was developed. In our contribution, we present results of the LWA characterisation according to the European standard EN 13055:2016. Requirements and challenges of the use of the novel LWA in ILC and LRM are discussed.

One of its key advantages is the ability to achieve freeform designs in civil engineering, enabling entirely new architectural possibilities. However, despite the demonstrated benefits of this technology, maintaining consistent print quality during the printing process remains a significant challenge and is seldom implemented. The continuous mixing process inherent in 3D concrete printing introduces potential variations in the dry mix composition or water content, making a single test sample insufficient to represent the entire structure. Moreover, defects in a single layer can compromise the integrity of the whole structure. This underscores the need for continuous, real-time monitoring to document and ensure the quality of the printing process. At the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und prüfung (BAM), a 3D concrete printer was developed to enable real-time non-destructive monitoring of material properties during the printing process. This study examines the impact of rheological variations, influenced by water content variations, on the geometric characteristics of printed elements. Geometric measurements are captured in real time using a high-precision laser scanner. Concrete elements are printed under controlled conditions with systematically varied process parameters. Preliminary results reveal a strong correlation between rheological behaviour and the geometric properties of the printed components.

Due to their low density and high porosity, tuff stones are easy to work with and transport. They have been used as construction material in many historical buildings in Germany. However, most tuff stones exhibit poor resistance to weathering due to their morphology and porosity. If the physico-chemical degradation of the stones is already well advanced, ensuring the safety of the buildings often requires extensive stone replacement. However, this contradicts the fundamental principle of conservation, which prioritises the preservation of the original material. In a recently completed research project, a silica-based protective system modified with rock powder was developed for the preservation of tuff stone. Suitable colloidal silica dispersions and modified rock powders customised produced from tuff waste were used. The protective system was optimised to reduce the capillary water absorption of tuff while maintaining its water vapour diffusion properties, to build a durable protective system-tuff bond, and to achieve a visual and tactile resemblance to tuff. The protective system was developed at laboratory scale. It was subsequently applied to a test area at a restoration site in Berlin-Zehlendorf, Germany, to assess its performance under outdoor conditions. By applying the new protective system, the historic building structure is better preserved, tuff stone resources are saved, and tuff waste is effectively recycled.

Throughout a series of research projects, the manufacturing process has been developed, optimized and scaled up. Various test results prove that the engineering properties of the new expanded masonry rubble aggregates are similar to those of traditional expanded clays. The aggregates show a heterogeneous and macroporous pore structure. The grains consist of cracks, cavities, large bulky pores and a solid skeleton containing small capillary pores as well as partly melted areas. But which differences and similarities exist to expanded clay aggregates, which are made from a relatively homogeneous clayey raw material? To answer this question, comparative studies on the chemical, physical, mineralogical and microstructural characteristics of expanded masonry rubble aggregates and commercial expanded clay aggregates have been conducted. In our contribution, results of particle shape and porosity measurements, mercury intrusion porosimetry and electron microscopy are presented. The microstructural characteristics are correlated with engineering properties, such as water absorption and particle strength.

Dies führte zu einer geringeren Verdunstung und Bodenspeicherung sowie zu einem verstärkten Abfluss von versiegelten Flächen. Dadurch werden der Wasserkreislauf, das Kleinklima und die Grundwasserneubildung beeinträchtigt, während Klär- und Regenwasseranlagen belastet werden. Starkregenereignisse können die Anlagen überlasten und lokale Überschwemmungen verursachen. Gleichzeitig gelangen Schwermetalle wie Kupfer, Zink und Blei in das Wassersystem und verursachen Umweltprobleme. Um den Wasserkreislauf ökologisch wiederherzustellen, Überschwemmungen zu verhindern und Schadstoffeinträge zu reduzieren, rücken Versickerung und Rückhaltung von Regenwasser im Sinne des Schwammstadtkonzeptes in den Fokus. Gründächer, Versickerungsmulden oder Retentionsbodenfilter verzögern den Abfluss und entlasten so die Kanalisation. Dabei spielen Filter- und Speichermaterialien eine zentrale Rolle, um das Regenwasser zusätzlich zu reinigen und nutzbar zu machen. Durch die Nutzung recycelter Bau- und Abbruchstoffe als Filtermaterialien können Primärrohstoffe eingespart und natürliche Ressourcen geschont werden. Im Rahmen des Forschungsprojekts „RC-Filtersubstrate“ werden Granulate aus recyceltem Kalksandsteinbruch und Porenbetonbruch sowie einer daraus speziell hydrothermal hergestellten Körnung als Retentionsfilter für verunreinigtes Niederschlagswasser untersucht. Aufgrund ihres mesoporösen Gefüges und ihrer Calciumsilicathydrat-Phasen (C-S-H) zeigen diese Materialien großes Potenzial zur Abtrennung von Kupfer, Zink und Blei. Dieser Ansatz des rohstofflich-chemischen Recyclings von Bau- und Abbruchabfällen überführt die Reststoffe in neue maßgeschneiderte Produkte. Durch die gezielte Steuerung der Porosität und der Mikrostruktur der Hydrothermalgranulate lässt sich die Reinigungsleistung optimieren. Zusätzlich können die RC-Filtersubstrate mit Bakterien besiedelt werden, um die Filterleistung weiter zu steigern. Es soll nachgewiesen werden, dass RC-Filtermaterialien als effektive Niederschlagswasserfilter geeignet sind. Zudem soll die Filterleistung in Abhängigkeit von den Eigenschaften der Filtersubstrate untersucht werden. Im Vortrag werden die Erfahrungen zur Herstellung der Hydrothermalgranulate aus Kalksandsteinbruch- und Porenbetonbruchmehlen vorgestellt.

This paper aims to establish a methodology for determining the optimal ratio of phosphate to material mass for different materials and for achieving the necessary contact time for adsorption isotherms. To minimise the number of experiments required, pretests over 24 h should be repeated to determine the phosphate-specific ratios until they show around 60% of the initial concentration. The tested materials included lava sand and expanded sand (ExS), which showed saturating kinetics curves after 24 to 48 h. However, aggregates containing calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) phases (autoclaved aerated concrete AAC, sand–lime brick SLB, and hydrothermal granules HTG) did not show saturating curves, complicating contact time determination. Consequently, adsorption velocity is proposed to identify the phase with the lowest adsorption rate, which is then used as the contact time in adsorption isotherm experiments. Using this method, adsorption times of 48 h were observed for HTG and SLB, while that for AAC was 24 h. This methodology is intended as an initial approach to establish a common basis for researchers investigating novel materials and make the results comparable.

New types of lightweight aggregates, which were manufactured from masonry rubble, were used to develop these repair mortars. This allows for recycling of construction and demolition waste while helping to conserve natural resources. As part of this work, the mortars were comprehensively characterised in terms of their chemical, physical, mechanical and hygric properties, such as bulk density, pore structure, strength, water absorption, shrinkage and carbonation. All mortars are lightweight mortars with bulk densities of about 1300 kg/m³. They achieve high porosities of around 50 %. At the same time, the mortars exhibit sufficient compressive strengths ranging from 1.8 to 11.3 MPa. The compressive strength depends on the degree of carbonation of the mortars and increases with sample age. The analysis of the pore structure shows that the mortars mainly contain macropores. The large number of capillary pores, with sizes ranging from 0.1 to 1000 μm, results in a good water absorption behaviour. The evaluation of the results proves that the repair mortars are compatible with Cotta sandstone.

T1 - The importance of leaching for the carbonation resistance of alkali-activated slag and calcined clay concretes N2 - This study investigates the impact of leaching on the carbonation resistance of alkali-activated materials with varying calcium content. Six binder compositions were tested, combining ground blast furnace slag and calcined clay, with CaO content ranging from ~0% to ~40%. Samples underwent three conditions: no leaching, two weeks of leaching (2Le), and five leaching-carbonation cycles (5LCC). Carbonation tests were performed under natural conditions and 1% CO2 for reference and 2Le samples, while 5LCC samples were exposed solely to accelerated carbonation. Under natural carbonation, the typical relationship between carbonation resistance and the water/(CaO+MgOeq+Na2Oeq+K2Oeq) ratio was observed for both the reference and 2Le samples, with an increase in carbonation rate in compositions containing more than 40% calcined clay. In accelerated carbonation conditions, 2Le and 5LCC conditions showed slightly improved carbonation resistance compared to the reference samples, except for the mixtures containing only calcined clay (C100) and the mix with 40% calcined clay (C40S60). The poor performance of C100 was attributed to its low reactivity after 28 days, which resulted in significant sodium leaching and reduced activation of the calcined clay. Although C40S60 outperformed non-leached samples, its carbonation resistance slightly decreased in leached and accelerated carbonation samples due to reduced gel phase formation; however, this reduction was significantly less than that of C100. These findings suggest that while leaching can enhance carbonation resistance by reducing excess alkalis, low-reactivity systems, e.g. based solely on calcined clay, are more susceptible to degradation.

By Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing, parts were built both without defects and with typical defects intentionally introduced. These defects were investigated and confirmed by industrial X-ray Computed Tomography. Alternative inexpensive methods were applied afterwards on the parts such as weighing, volume determination by Archimedes method and gas permeability measurement. The results showed, that defects resulting in around 20% of change in volume and mass could be separated from parts free of defects by determination of mass or volume. Minor defects were not detectable as they were in the range of process-related fluctuations. Permeability measurement did not allow to safely identify parts with defects. The measurement methods investigated can be easily integrated in AM process chains to support quality control.

T1 - Effect of resting time on rheological properties of glass bead suspensions - Depletion and bridging force among particles N2 - The effect of resting time on the rheological properties of cement suspensions is generally explained by early formed structure and overconsumption of polycarboxylate superplasticizers (PCEs). In this paper, we propose that the influence of resting time on the rheological properties is closely related to size variation of non-absorbed PCE. To identify this, glass bead suspensions were prepared with various amounts of PCE and ionic solution, and their rheological properties were evaluated at various times. We found that the yield stress increases with time at higher PCE concentrations and higher ionic strength solutions. Adsorbed PCE during resting tends to bridge the particles rather than disperse them. In addition, it was found that hydrodynamic radius of PCE increased with resting time, and depletion forces resulting from non-absorbed PCE size changes correlate well with the increased yield stress.

T1 - The Industrialisation of Sustainable Construction: A Transdisciplinary Approach to the Large-Scale Introduction of Compacted Mineral Mixtures (CMMs) into Building Construction N2 - Abstract: Increasing demand for sustainable, resilient, and low-carbon construction materials has highlighted the potential of Compacted Mineral Mixtures (CMMs), which are formulated from various soil types (sand, silt, clay) and recycled mineral waste. This paper presents a comprehensive inter- and transdisciplinary research concept that aims to industrialise and scale up the adoption of CMM-based construction materials and methods, thereby accelerating the construction industry’s systemic transition towards carbon neutrality. By drawing upon the latest advances in soil mechanics, rheology, and automation, we propose the development of a robust material properties database to inform the design and application of CMM-based materials, taking into account their complex, time-dependent behaviour. Advanced soil mechanical tests would be utilised to ensure optimal performance under various loading and ageing conditions. This research has also recognised the importance of context-specific strategies for CMM adoption. We have explored the implications and limitations of implementing the proposed framework in developing countries, particularly where resources may be constrained. We aim to shed light on socio-economic and regulatory aspects that could influence the adoption of these sustainable construction methods. The proposed concept explores how the automated production of CMM-based wall elements can become a fast, competitive, emission-free, and recyclable alternative to traditional masonry and concrete construction techniques. We advocate for the integration of open-source digital platform technologies to enhance data accessibility, processing, and knowledge acquisition; to boost confidence in CMM-based technologies; and to catalyse their widespread adoption. We believe that the transformative potential of this research necessitates a blend of basic and applied investigation using a comprehensive, holistic, and transfer-oriented methodology. Thus, this paper serves to highlight the viability and multiple benefits of CMMs in construction, emphasising their pivotal role in advancing sustainable development and resilience in the built environment.

Our study includes white cement (WC), ordinary Portland cement (OPC), and samples incorporating reactive agro-waste based ashes and non-reactive biochars as supplementary cementitous materials (SCM). NMR measurements were performed over a period of up to 120 h during hydration with an echo time of 50 μ s and a relatively large sample size of 20 mL. The results were compared to heat flow calorimetry (HFC) data, and a detailed comparison with literature data was performed for pure OPC and WC. The results show that time-resolved NMR measurements, especially the analysis of individual NMR signal components assigned to defined 1 H reservoirs, are effective for studying hydration processes. They offer insights into the evolution of the microstrucure and specific chemical phases. NMR provides valuable information and serves as a good complement to HFC. The comparison with data obtained with shorter echo times (40 μs or around 15–45 μs with solid echo sequence) on much smaller samples showed almost identical developments with respect to the T2 distributions. For the SCM samples, NMR results indicated partially accelerated hydration processes compared to classical OPC hydration. One SCM sample acted as a highly reactive pozzolan, showing a similar hydration process to OPC with the strongest effect observed when superplasticizer was added. Adding biochar delayed C-S-H gel pore formation but significantly increased capillary pores and even free water, likely due to the sponge-like structure.

The results show that the agitation of cement paste during the induction period increases the heat flow rate and destroys existing structures of samples without changing the mineral composition of samples. Yet, if the agitation is applied during the acceleration period, the heat flow rate is significantly lowered and the morphology and mineral composition of samples undergo irreversible change, freshly formed syngenite is destroyed and no longer restored. The penetration force and the static yield stress grow linearly during the induction period and exponentially during the acceleration period. Agitation during the induction period destroys the structure, which causes the static yield stress and the penetration force values becoming nearly equal to zero. However, during the acceleration period, even after agitation the static yield stress and the penetration force exhibit high residual values, which indicates the impact of hydration to the structural build-up.

The production of one ton of cement emits around 600 kg of CO2. With a global cement production estimate of 4.2 billion tons, this results in about 2.5 billion tons of CO2 emissions. This accounts for roughly 7.2% of the total global carbon emissions in 2021. Strategies to decrease carbon emissions in the cement and concrete industry include carbon capture and storage (CCS), reduced binders like ordinary Portland cement (OPC) clinker and optimizing material use through improved processes and structural design. This also means changing architectural vision [6], avoiding concrete where its structural performance is not required and use alternative materials instead, and optimizing the communication among the entire production value chain.

T1 - Retardation mechanism of cement hydration by a comb polyphosphate superplasticizer N2 - The retardation mechanism of cement hydration as imparted by the addition of polyphosphate comb superplasticizer to model cement containing C3S, C3A and calcium sulfate hemihydrate is studied using XRD, ss NMR and calorimetry. Our findings show the retardation effect caused by the direct addition of polyphosphate comb superplasticizer differs significantly to that of conventional polycarboxylate superplasticizers. Conversely to polycarboxylates, polyphosphates, at a low dosage, inhibits the silicate reaction without affecting the aluminate reaction and formation of ettringite. Yet, at high doses, both reactions are hampered, and the induction period extended, followed by accelerated aluminate and silicate reactions.

T1 - Influence of polycarboxylate superplasticizers with different molecular structures on rheological properties of glass bead suspension at different resting times N2 - Using an inert glass bead suspension, the study explores the interaction between various PCE superplasticizers, ions and investigates how it affects rheological performance during resting. To understand the underlying mechanisms, surface charge properties, adsorption, aggregates amount, and size of PCE during resting were measured. Results showed that yield stress increased with time, mainly when a high PCE dosage was used, and the modulus from strain sweep experiments agreed with the yield stress variations. The increase in zeta potential value and decrease in aggregate amount explain the decrease in yield stress in the non-PCE sample but are inconsistent with the increase in yield stress in presence of PCE. The PCE clusters’ size increases during resting, and increasing PCE adsorption does not disperse the glass bead particles. In addition, compared to the amount of carboxylate group, the molecular weight of PCE is more dominant in increasing the yield stress during resting. The increase in yield stress could be explained by the increase in the bridging and depletion forces due to the increasing size of the PCE cluster. Another possible reason is that non-adsorbed PCE clusters may form a polymer network that restricts the movement of the particles.

T1 - The Impact of DNA as a Chemical Admixture for Cementitious Materials N2 - Viscosity modifying agents (VMA) and superplasticizers (SP) are two common macromolecular admixture types for cementitious materials. VMAs are used to stabilize fresh cementitious materials, while SPs are used to disperse them. Most VMAs are bio-based polysaccharides that act in the water phase between particles; while most SPs are synthetic comb polymers, consisting of negatively charged backbones that help their adsorption to the cement particles' surface. The molecular structure of DNA contains elements of VMA – as it is a polysaccharide – and SP – as it is a polyanion. In this study, rheological measurements are used to compare how these three types of macromolecules (VMA, SP, and DNA) affect cementitious materials. It is found that DNA shows the combined effects of VMAs and SPs on cement paste: it lowers yield stress while at the same time maintaining or even increasing its viscosity, which permits reducing water content while avoiding bleeding or segregation of samples. Yet, the presence of DNA has a significant retardation impact on cement hydration, which is also a common side effect of VMAs and SPs.

Here, Mn K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy was applied to determine the depth profile of the oxidation state of manganese in hardened GGBFS-containing cement pastes. Manganese was oxidized in the outer regions of some of the pastes, but the depth to which this occurred was not identical with the ‘blue-green/white color change front’, usually interpreted as indicating oxidation of sulfur species. For CEM III/B, the color change of the material was gradual and thus unsuitable for a precise determination of the oxidation depth, while for the alkali-activated slag, a distinct color change front was found, but full oxidation of manganese and sulfur had not occurred in the brighter region. Mn K-edge XANES spectroscopy is thus a more reliable method than the determination of the visual color change front to follow the ingress of the oxidation front.

T1 - Modelling and experimental study on static yield stress evolution and structural build-up of cement paste in early stage of cement hydration N2 - Static yield stress is crucial for concrete, especially for 3D printed concrete, as it determines whether the bottom layer can support the load of the subsequent layers or withstand any potential impulses. A better understanding of the evolution of the static yield stress and its changing mechanism is therefore needed. Under the assumption that hydrate formation follows fractal patterns, this work proposes a model for simulating static yield stress that links the hydration process and bridging possibility. To validate the model, parameters were first obtained from the BNG (Boundary Nucleation Growth) equation fitted with calorimetry data, and the relation of associated hydration rates to sound speed variation rate was analyzed. Results showed that the proposed model predicts well the static yield stress obtained with a penetration test, under varying water-cement ratios and accelerator conditions. The fitted parameter β was found to correlate with size and morphology of the hydration products, suggesting that the model can not only simulate the static yield stress, but also capture the structural build-up information. Furthermore, the decrease in fractal-related β implies that more compact hydrates are formed during hydration.

During the thermochemical treatment, oxidic iron is reduced to metallic iron and separated. The resulting low-iron slag has a chemical and mineralogical composition similar to ordinary Portland cement (OPC) clinker. In this study, the hydraulic reactivity of the fused clinker from BOFS with and without gypsum was investigated using isothermal calorimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, in situ X-ray diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, a synthetic fused clinker without foreign ions and fused clinker produced by a mixture of both materials was studied. The hydraulic reaction of the fused clinker from BOFS was considerably slower than that of OPC. However, the reaction can be accelerated by adding gypsum as a sulfate carrier. Furthermore, the results showed an increased reaction rate with decreasing content of foreign ions such as Fe, P or Mn.

In Africa, where cement is expensive and urban growth is rapid, innovative, locally tailored solutions are urgently needed. To address this environmental challenge, a common approach is to use limestone-calcined clay cement (LC3), which allows for approximately 50% clinker reduction with equivalent performance to OPC. However, LC3 often presents challenges in terms of fresh concrete properties due to its influence on rheological properties. This paper proposes the use of gum Arabic (GA), a polysaccharide biomass abundant in Africa, as a rheology modifying admixture. These local admixtures would provide access to chemical admixtures for a wider range of concrete users, including the informal sector, and create local value chains while minimising dependence on global supply streams. Rheometer, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and heat flow calorimetry (HFC) techniques were used to understand the influence of GA on both OPC and LC3 systems by monitoring their early hydration. Rheological results reveal that GA affects the fresh paste rheology of OPC and LC3 systems differently, requiring different dosages to achieve optimal performance. Heat flow and NMR analyses further confirm that GA retards the hydration reactions in both systems.

While bio-admixtures at low concentrations can enhance the strength, they create similar or lower yield stress as the reference. Bio ash, particularly at a 10% replacement level, maintained good strength, but higher replacements led to significant reductions in both strength and workability. These findings highlight the potential of sustainable construction materials but emphasize the need to balance performance specifications. T2 - 11. Jahrestagung des DAfStb mit 63.

This approach has already been suc-cessfully tested and validated. In Reincarnate SLAMD is currently being applied in demon-stration projects together with two industrial partners – a recycling company specializing in construction and demolition waste and a leading supplier of cement-based building materi-als. The recycling company aims to process recycled concrete fines and glass waste into composite cements with improved performance characteristics. The building materials' manufacturer, on the other hand, aims to reuse processed concrete waste primarily as aggre-gate and to develop suitable materials for five different exposure classes. The integration of SLAMD is envisioned to enable the rapid identification of optimal material compositions that consider the performance and ecological and economic aspects. In addition, we currently further develop in the Circular B-I/O project, a joint effort with African partners to develop alternative, more biobased building materials. The goal is to integrate agricultural residues – such as corn cobs, rice hulls, and sugarcane bagasse – into large-scale, robust supply chains for the construction industry. AI-driven decision-making will be used to create a sustainable framework to transform these seasonally variable raw materials into reliable, high-performance concrete components. Building stable ecosystems and supply chains is crucial to ensure the continuous availability of sustainable materials for a resilient and circular construction industry.

A1 - Mezhov, Alexander T1 - Characterization of temperature influence on the structural build-up of 3D printed concrete N2 - 3D concrete printing technologies enhance design freedom while reducing material use and costs without the need for formwork. Thereby, structural build-up is the key property governing stability and early strength evolution of 3D printed concrete after placement. Structural build-up is influenced by various factors, i.e., environmental conditions such as temperature. In this paper, the influence of ambient temperature on structural build-up was investigated through experimental and numerical approaches. Three experimental setups (small amplitude oscillatory shear, constant shear rate, and small amplitude oscillatory extensional tests) were applied to materials of increasing complexity under varying temperature conditions. A common modeling framework based on the maturity approach was developed to capture the time and temperature evolution. A stochastic framework was employed to estimate the unknown model parameters using experimental data. Experimental results demonstrate a significant temperature influence on structural build-up, consistent across all test setups and materials. The calibrated models successfully predict the structural build-up under different temperatures, confirming the applicability of the maturity approach to rheological parameters at early age. Furthermore, the stochastic parameter estimation allows a correct quantification of the uncertainties, enhancing model reliability. The comparison of two time evolution formulations indicates that a model with an additional linear stage is required for predicting the increase of the storage moduli ( $${G}{\prime}$$ G ′ , $${E}{\prime}$$ E ′ ). In conclusion, the study demonstrates that temperature significantly affects the structural build-up, and that the proposed modeling approach allows to predict this behavior.

Subsequently, differently sized UCNPs were incorporated into ordinary Portland cement to study their stability in the harsh cementitious environment and assess their potential for the probing and monitoring of cement hydration. Microenvironment-specific changes in the emission properties of these inorganic luminophores were utilized to study and probe changes of physico-chemical parameters during cement hydration. Isothermal calorimetry was employed to better understand the influence of luminophore addition on cement hydration kinetics and for the correlation with the results of the optical studies.

In the recently approved composite cements of class CEM II, a significant portion of the clinker (up to 50%) can already be replaced. A promising option in this context is the so-called LC³ (Limestone Calcined Clay Cement), which offers exciting alternatives especially for countries with large clay deposits. To ensure the performance and durability of such binders, understanding hydration processes and the role of the used supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) is crucial. The authors present findings from two independent studies: a master thesis and a round-robin experiment conducted within a RILEM Technical Committee. Both studies investigate cementitious materials incorporating SCMs using advanced characterization techniques. The master thesis focuses on early hydration processes during the first 100 hours using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance relaxometry (NMR), providing detailed insights into microstructural development, hydrogen bonding, and water mobility. In contrast, the round-robin experiment explores hydration and durability over a longer timeframe of 3 to 91 days using induced polarization (IP) to study bulk conductivity and its changes with age. For all investigated mixtures—including pure Ordinary Portland (CEMI), Portland Limestone Cement (CEM II) including blends with calcined clay and fly ash—heat flow calorimetry serves as a reference method to monitor hydration progress during the early stages. This approach allows a comprehensive understanding of the effects of SCMs on hydration, combining short-term and long-term perspectives while leveraging complementary techniques. Preliminary results demonstrate a significant increase in NMR T₂ relaxation times with the addition of fly ash, accompanied by a strong reduction in the free water component. Concurrently, early IP measurements reveal a steady increase in impedance with sample age, particularly pronounced in mixtures containing calcined clay. These findings underline the potential of NMR and IP to evaluate hydration and durability-related properties in cementitious systems with reduced clinker content. T2 - 85.

Due to the low density and complex porosity of biochar, microstructural analysis of Portland cement-biochar composites is challenging. This causes challenges to the improvement of the micro-scale understanding of biochar composite behavior. This work advances the microstructural understanding of Portland cement composites with 0, 5, and 25 volume percent (vol%) of cement replaced with wood biochar by applying common characterization techniques of mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), gas sorption, scanning electron microscopy, and isothermal heat flow calorimetry (HFC) in conjunction with 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and micro-X-ray computed tomography (XCT) analysis techniques. The combination of these techniques allows a multi-scale investigation of the effect of biochar on the microstructure of cement paste. NMR and XCT techniques allow the observation and quantification of the pore space. HFC and MIP confirmed that biochar absorbs moisture and reduces the effective water-cement ratio. Gas sorption, MIP, and NMR shows that 5 vol% replacement does not significantly affect the gel and capillary pore structures. Results from XCT (supported by MIP and NMR) show that biochar can reduce the formation of larger pores. Importantly, XCT results suggest that biochar can act as a flaw in the microstructure which could explain reductions in the mechanical properties. Overall, the mechanical properties already analyzed in the literature are consistent with the microstructural changes observed, and these results highlight the need to carefully tailor the volume fraction of biochar to control its effect on the paste microstructure.

T1 - Performance of rice husk ash as supplementary cementitious material after production in the field and in the lab N2 - Supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) can reduce the total amount of Portland cement clinker in concrete production. Rice husk ashes (RHA) can be converted from an agricultural by-product to a high-performance concrete constituent due to a high amount of reactive silica with pozzolanic properties if they are burnt under controlled conditions. The way and duration of combustion, the cooling process as well as the temperature have an effect on the silica form and thus, the chemical and physical performance of the RHA. Various studies on the best combustion technique have been published to investigate the ideal combustion techniques. Yet, the process mostly took place under laboratory conditions. Investigating the difference between the performance of RHA produced in a rural environment and laboratory conditions is useful for the assessment and future enhancement of RHA production, and its application both as building material, for example in rural areas where it is sourced in large quantities, and as additive for high performance concrete. Thus, the paper presents a comparison between RHA produced under rudimentary conditions in a self-made furnace in the rural Bagamoyo, Tanzania and under controlled laboratory conditions at the Technical University of Munich, Germany, with different combustion methods and temperatures. In a second step, RHA was ground to reach particle size distributions comparable to cement. In a third step, cement pastes were prepared with 10%, 20% and 40% of cement replacement, and compared to the performance of plain and fly ash blended cement pastes. The results show that controlled burning conditions around 650 °C lead to high reactivity of silica and, therefore, to good performance as SCM. However, also the RHA burnt under less controlled conditions in the field provided reasonably good properties, if the process took place with proper burning parameters and adequate grinding. The knowledge can be implemented in the field to improve the final RHA performance as SCM in concrete.
