A1 - Hofmann-Böllinghaus, Anja T1 - A score regarding the need for assistance - considering pedestrians with impairments in evacuation planning N2 - The capabilities of pedestrians for evacuation have a significant impact on the time required to reach a safe place. Usually, the evacuation is split into two main stages: pre-movement-phase and movement-phase. For both a large number of studies investigate different representations of behaviour and impacts. But the influence of impairments is usually not taken into account. In addition, most of the scientific researches focus the investigation of the movement phase. This publication presents a novel approach to score the need for assistance and to estimate the effect on evacuation performance. The proposed score considers characteristic impairments in three dimensions of behaviour: reception, perception and realisation. In an unannounced evacuation training in a sheltered workshop, the evacuation behaviour and pre-movement phase were analysed. The analysis indicates that the pre-movement time depends on the kind of impairment as well as on organisational boundaries. Despite the special needs for assistance, the evacuation process in a sheltered workshop is quite similar to other sub-populations. T2 - 5.

The tanks were installed in the space normally reserved for the spare tyre, in the car boot. No safety device was installed on the tank, in order to force critical failure of the cylinder. Two of the cars were equipped with a tank filled with liquefied propane to a level of 20 % (5.3 kg), the third one was filled completely (25.5 kg). The partially filled tanks failed critically within a time period of more than 20 min after the initiation of the fire. The fully-filled tank did not rupture; the propane was released continuously through a small leak that appeared during the fire. Comprehensive equipment was used to procure measurement data, enabling an analysis of potential consequences and hazards to humans and infrastructure within the vehicle surroundings. The inner status of the tank (pressure, temperature of the liquid phase and the steel casing), the development of the fire (temperature inside and around the vehicle) and the pressure induced in the near-field in case of tank rupture were recorded. The results were analysed in detail and compared against the data gained in tests involving sole, but identical LPG tanks.

T1 - Experimental and numerical investigation of enclosure fires - Application to room fires and intermediate scale tests N2 - One of our research topics focus on fire in residential buildings because approximately 80% of all fire fatalities in Europe occur in residential building fires. The aim is to identify critical fire scenarios and to model these fire scenarios with experimental and numerical methods. We perform a wide ränge of reaction-to-fire tests and use different Software tools to simulate fires. Another field of research is fire-safety of escape and rescue routes, because in case of fire, smoke in staircases can be a serious problem. In 2005, 8 people died in Berlin during a staircase fire which was caused by arson. A stroller had been ignited and the resulting smoke filled the staircase quickly. The wooden staircase also was involved in the fire. Several inhabitants tried to leave their flats via the staircase and were trapped.

T1 - Trends in investigating hydrogen cracking and diffusion in steel welds N2 - The present contribution highlights recent trends in investigating hydrogen diffusion and cracking in steel welds. For such studies, supermartensitic stainless steels (SMSS) have exemplarily been selected. These materials have been used for offshore and marine constructions for about two decades now. They present a versatility of improved properties such as high strength to thickness ratio, good weldability and good corrosion resistance. However, as shown by respective failure cases, SMSS welds might become prone to hydrogen assisted cracking and the degradation phenomena are more easily to investigate due to the nearly homogeneous martensitic microstructure than in other materials. Generally, it has to be distinguished between cracking that occurs during or shortly after fabrication welding, or during subsequent operation of SMSS components. In order to achieve crack avoidance during fabrication and service, conclusive test sequences have to be applied, ranging from field tests at real components and full scale tests investigating the materials behavior under real service conditions to basic and small scale tests, such as tensile and corrosion tests, oriented more towards a materials ranking. Considerable testing of SMSS welds has been carried out and the present paper particularly summarizes spotlights on 1:1 scale component testing of welded tubulars, slow strain rate testing and basic tests oriented to elucidate the hydrogen behavior and degradation in SMSS weld microstructures. Also, permeation tests, hydrogen dependent degradation of mechanical properties and thermal desorption spectroscopy are adressed. As a specific item, first results of lately conducted investigations for tracking hydrogen movement in such weld microstructures by using high energy synchrotron radiation are elucidated.

Die Feuerwehr Frankfurt hat eine Sammlung von Bränden, bei denen WDVS beteiligt waren, initiiert. Wertet man diese Sammlung hinsichtlich der Brandentstehung aus, fällt auf, dass von den insgesamt 57 Bränden 79 % (45 Brände) vor der Fassade begannen. 25 dieser 45 Brände wurden durch brennenden Müll oder Müllcontainer ausgelöst. Die meisten der gesammelten Brände (50) waren in den letzten fünf Jahren (2010 - 2014). Auf Grund dieser Erkenntnisse wurden an der BAM Müilcontainer (aus Plastik) hinsichtlich ihrer Entflammbarkeit und Wärmefreisetzung untersucht. Außerdem wurden im Auftrag der BMK Müllcontainer hinsichtlich ihrer Wärmefreisetzung und Brandentwicklung im Großversuch an der MFPA Leipzig untersucht. Mit Hilfe dieser Voruntersuchungen wurde eine Brandquelle identifiziert, die Zündquellen wie einen brennenden, Müllcontainer oder kleinere Ansammlungen von Sperrmüll repräsentiert: Es wurde eine 200 kg Holzkrippe gewählt, da die Holzkrippe bessere Ergebnisse hinsichtlich der Reproduzierbarkeit der Ergebnisse darstellt als z.B. ein Müllcontainer. Mit dieser Zündquelle wurden Großversuche an der MFPA Leipzig mit einem zugelassenen WDVS durchgeführt. Das WDVS zeigte unter diesen Prüfbedingungen ein nicht akzeptables Brandverhalten. Die folgenden zwei Versuche wurden mit Ertüchtigungsmaßnahmen durchgeführt, die eine signifikante Verbesserung des Brandverhaltens brachten. Zusätzlich wurde an der BAM eine Serie von Brandversuchen im Kieinmaßstab in der Single Burning Item (SBI) Prüfeinrichtung durchgeführt. Dabei wurde die auf das WDVS wirkende Wärmefreisetzungsrate variiert und der Einfluss von Grad und Größe von Beschädigungen der Putzschicht hinsichtlich des Brandverhaltens untersucht. Deutliche Unterschiede im Brandverhalten konnten sowohl quantitativ als auch qualitativ nachgewiesen werden. Neben der den Versuchsbedingungen zugrunde liegenden Wärmefreisetzungsrate konnten Art und Lage der Beschädigung in der Putzschicht als auch brandbeeinflussende Größen charakterisiert und beschrieben werden.

T1 - Challenges for fire safety in etic systems with polystyrene insulation N2 - Several fires involving external thermal insulating (ETIC) systems with polystyrene in Germany started an extensive discussion about fire safety of such systems. The Frankfurt fire service started to collect reports about real fire cases which involved ETICS with polystyrene two years ago. This collection shows that especially fires, which started in front of the buildings led to more severe fires of the facades than fires inside the buildings. In several fires the ignition sources were burning waste containers. Three of the real cases are discussed in more detail: a serious fire in Frankfurt on a building site and two fires of apartment buildings, which developed quite differently. Additionally the plastic waste containers, which started several fires are investigated regarding ignitability and heat release rates. The investigation shows that plastic waste containers are very effective as ignition source and that the usual placement directly in front of combustible facades can be a problem for fire safety. Moving these containers and unintentional contact with the facade can lead to damage of the facade coating. These damages were investigated qualitatively and quantitative on a wide collection of buildings. After classifying the damage intermediate scale tests were performed in a modified Single Burning Item (SBI) Test. The damage of the coating was varied as well as the power of the sand bed burner of the SBI apparatus. The damage significantly influenced the fire development on the specimen. In some tests the damaged rendering of the ETIC system collapsed and resulted in a sudden fire growth: after the collapse of the rendering the whole specimen was suddenly on fire. Several effects, which could be seen in the intermediate scale tests correspond to observations which were made in the real cases. As a consequence of the investigations challenges and possible measures to enhance fire safety of ETIC systems are discussed.

T1 - Grain boundary cavitation under time-varying normal stresses N2 - In a polycrystal, the development of creep damage, especially for low extemal loads, is related to nucleation and difiüsive growth of cavities on the grain boundaries. For low stresses, the contribution to cavity growth by dislocation creep of the suirounding material can be neglected. However, grain boundaiy diffitsion is mainly driven by the local normal stiess acting on the grain boundaiy. Under creep conditions, even under a constant extemal load, an individual grain boundaiy generally experiences a time-varying normal stress, due to stress redistributions within the polycrystalline stiuctuie. Indeed, a constrained cavitating grain boundaiy is relieved, since matter is transported to and deposited in the grain boundaiy plane, which causes the adjoining giains to drill apart. A Simulation proceduie based on the use of complex holomoiphic fiinctions for solving the diffiision problem has been used to investigate multiple cavity growth on a grain boundaiy subjected to a constant normal stress. A simplified model has been developed to describe the cavitation behaviour observed in the simulations. Finally, the analysis of cavitation simulations with time-vaiying nomial stresses, including the cases with veiy low or negative stresses, has been used to extend the simplified cavitation model to more general normal stiess time profiles.

However, most air-coupled testing scenarios have the challenge of low signals and a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) several orders of magnitude lower than with couplant-assisted tech-niques. Since this challenge of small SNR also exists in radar technology, the pulse compression used there was adapted and applied to the physical conditions of air-coupled ultrasonic testing. This paper presents ultrasonic transmission measurements on a carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer plate using two experimental setups: 1) a thermoacoustic transmitter and an optical microphone and 2) a pair of ferroe-lectret transducers as transmitter and receiver. Thermoacoustic transmitters convert electrical energy to heat, which causes the air to expand thus producing acoustic waves. The optical microphone is based on a Fabry-Perot interferometer. Ferroelectrets are charged cellular polymers, having piezoelectric proper-ties and excellent acoustic matching to air. Both thermoacoustic transmitters and ferroelectrets are non-linear regarding the relationship between the excited sound pressure and the excitation voltage. Due to these physical boundary conditions, unipolar coding was used to modulate the excitation signals. Vari-ous codes were tested, and parameters of the excitation pulses were varied to find the optimal combina-tion for each experimental setup. The application of pulse compression to the combination of thermo-acoustic transmitter and optical microphone increased the signal-to-noise ratio by up to 16 dB and for the ferroelectret transducers by up to 23 dB.

In general, an amplification at low frequencies, an amplification for the floor resonances, and a reduction for higher frequencies can be observed. Most of the measurement examples show a flexible behaviour along the height of the buildings. The prediction of building vibration consists typically of three steps. At first, the dynamic stiffness of the foundation and secondly the kinematic soil-structure interaction has to be calculated for example by the combined finite-element boundary-element meth-od. The stiffness of the foundation reduces the incoming waves (the kinematic interaction). Finally, the inertial interaction of the building with the foundation soil is calculated by the conventional finite ele-ment method where the dynamic foundation stiffness from the first step is added at the bottom of the building. The building on the compliant soil has a fundamental vertical resonance usually below 10 Hz. A parametrical variation clearly shows the influence of the elasticity of the building on this reso-nance frequency and amplitude. Moreover for column-type office buildings, the low-frequency floor resonances can further reduce this fundamental frequency. A 1-dimensional model has been estab-lished which can well approximate the behaviour of the 3-dimensional building models. It is used to demonstrate the effect of a base isolation with soft elements at the foundation. A rigid building model clearly over-estimates the isolation effect, which is smaller for a model with flexible walls, columns and floors. An even simpler model of an infinitely high building is suggested for the mitigation effect, and the resonance frequency of the rigid building should be replaced by a better performance indica-tor, which is based on the impedance ratio of the isolation and the wall and which can be also ex-pressed as a characteristic frequency.

Zu garantierende Kerbschlagarbeitswerte sind in Produktnormen weltweit festgelegt. Gleichwohl enthalten ganze Normenreihen für Stähle falsche Festlegungen zur Verwendung von Untermaßprobenergebnissen. Im Mittelpunkt der vorliegenden Studie stehen die Auswertung von KV-T-Daten und die Skalierung von Untermaßprobenergebnissen. Hierzu wurden an ISO-V-Proben der Breiten 2,5; 5; 7,5 und 10 mm aus vier Baustählen im Streckgrenzenbereich von 235 bis 960 MPa dicht belegte KV-T-Kurven ermittelt. Es wurden unterschiedliche Vorgehensweisen zur Kurvenanpassung und Festlegung von Übergangstemperaturen wie auch der Hoch- bzw. Tieflagenarbeit untersucht. Die Ergebnisse unterstreichen unter anderem, dass die in festgelegte Vorgehensweise, nach der Untermaßprobenergebnisse proportional auf Normprobenmaße zu skalieren sind, nicht nur zu falschen, sondern auch nicht-konservativen Kerbschlagarbeitswerten führen kann. Das Ausmaß dieses Probenbreiteneffektes ist Werkstoff- und temperaturabhängig. Da die Kerbschlagarbeit als Abnahmekriterium verwendet wird, ergeben sich unmittelbare wirtschaftliche und sicherheitstechnische Konsequenzen. Es ist zu schlussfolgern, dass die entsprechenden Produktnormenreihen dringend zu überarbeiten sind.

Yet current limitations in monitoring material properties during and after printing hinder the development of effective 3DCP guidelines. Therefore, the development of an inline sensing system capable of real-time monitoring and adjustment of process parameters is necessary to overcome these challenges. Building upon an existing inline sensing system developed by BAM, which currently monitors material properties during printing and the geometry of the print post-extrusion, this study extends its capabilities to post-extrusion monitoring using embedded piezoelectric (PZT) sensors. These PZT sensors provide localized measurements of material changes through electrical impedance (EI) measurements without disrupting the printing process. By embedding these sensors in 3D printed structures, continuous monitoring is achieved from layer deposition through 1-day of hydration. To achieve this, initially, PZT sensors were developed with multiple layers of protective coatings. Two different 3D printed mixtures, each with different hydration behaviors, were utilized, and PZT sensors were strategically placed between printed layers to maintain their integrity. EI measurements were collected continuously from printing through 1 day of hydration. Analysis of amplitude and frequency changes in the EI response spectrum provided insights into material behavior post-printing. The study highlights how continuous monitoring of frequency and conductance can track structural builtup and property development of the material. Rapid changes in conductance measurements, immediately post-printing indicate swift structural built-up, while key hydration phases are reflected in frequency measurements.

Generated frost point temperature in the gas ranged from -30 °C to -60 °C and were measured by coulometric sensors and in addition by a calibrated dew point hygrometer. The gas temperatures, which were measured by a calibrated Pt100 sensor, were set to -20 °C, 0 °C, 23 °C, 40 °C, 50 °C, and 60 °C during the experiments. Empiric nonlinear functions were calculated between the generated humidity and the sensor signals. In comparison to the measured signals at 23 °C, the sensor signals were lower at the other gas temperatures. The measurements at 60 °C showed indistinct results due to a great signal noise. The response behavior of the sensors was similar at 23 °C, 40 °C and 50 °C. In contrast to that, the sensors reacted slowly at a gas temperature of -20 °C and 0 °C. In summary, with coulometric sensors it was possible to measure continuously trace humidity with an expanded uncertainty below 2 K.

Schwerpunkt der Arbeit war die Bestimmung der Explosionsdrücke, der zeitlichen Druckanstiege bzw. der KG-Werte und der reduzierten Explosionsdrücke in Abhängigkeit der Methankonzentration. Im geschlossenen Behälter wurden die Explosionsdrücke und zeitlichen Druckanstiege für Methan-Luft-Gemische mit Methankonzentrationen von 5,9 Vol-% bis 13,5 Vol-% ermittelt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen gute Übereinstimmung mit den Literaturwerten. Weiter wurden Druckentlastungsversuche mit einer kreisrunden Entlastungsfläche von 0,011 m² und einer Druckentlastungsfolie mit einem statischen Ansprechdruck von 1,94 bar durchgeführt. Hierbei wurden Gemische mit Methankonzentrationen von 5,9 Vol-% bis 14,3 Vol-% untersucht. Dabei zeigte sich, dass die vergleichsweise kleine Entlastungsfläche nur dann zu reduzierten Explosionsdrücken gleich dem statischen Ansprechdruck der Berstfolie führte, wenn die Methankonzentration ≤ 5,9 Vol-% oder ≥ 14,0 Vol-% betrug. Bei allen anderen untersuchten Methankonzentrationen führten die durch die Druckentlastung induzierten Turbulenzen zu einer Beschleunigung der Verbrennungsreaktion und zu Explosionsdrücken vergleichbar denen im geschlossenen Behälter.

One specimen of 150 l made of alkali-activated material, which was found innovative and suitable for sealing constructions based on preliminary laboratory studies, and, for comparison purpose, another one made of salt concrete, are manufactured with an integrated multi-sensory setup for quality assurance and long-term-monitoring. The specimens were left in their cast form and additionally thermally insulated to simulate the situation in the repository. The multi-sensory concept comprises RFID technology embedded in the specimens suppling material temperature and moisture measurements, integrated fibre optic sensing allowing strain measurement and acoustic emission testing for monitoring possible crack formation. Overall, the suitability and the functionality of the sensors embedded into and attached to strongly alkaline (pH > 13 for the AAM) and salt corrosive (NaCl) environment was proven for the first 672 h. First temperature measurement based on RFID succeeded after 626 h for the alkali-activated material and after 192 h for the conventional salt concrete. Strain measurement based on distributed fibre optic sensing turned out the alkali-activated material with > 1 mm m-1 undergoing approximately twice the compression strain as the salt concrete with strains < 0.5 mm m-1. In contrast, the acoustic emission first and single hits representing crack formation in numbers, was found for alkali-activated material half of that detected at the salt concrete.

In technical applications, the challenge is to keep these energy carriers cold for a long time. This is achieved in the road transport sector and also stationary applications by thermal super insulations (TSI) which based on double-walled tanks with vacuum and multilayer insulation (MLI) in the interspace. This study focuses on the behaviour of widely used combustible MLI in a fire scenario, at vacuum and atmospheric pressure conditions. The former corresponds to the typical design condition and the latter to the condition after an outer hull rapture of a tank. Furthermore, two fire scenarios were taken into account: a standard-oriented approach and a hydrocarbon fire-oriented approach. For the study, a test rig was applied that allows testing of TSI at industrial conditions and subsequent analysis of TSI samples. The test rig allows thermal loading and performance analysis of TSI samples at the same time. Comparing the tests, the samples degraded differently. However, no sudden failure of the entire MLI was observed in any test. These results are relevant for the evaluation of incidents with tanks for the storage of cryogenic fluids and can thus contribute to the improvement of TSI and the development of emergency measures for the protection of persons and infrastructures.

Its storage requires tanks with Thermal Super Insulations (TSI) to keep the transported fluid cold. TSI has proven itself in various applications over a long time, but not in the land transport sector, where accidents involving collisions, fires, and their combination are to be expected. The focus of this study is to investigate the behavior of different types of TSI when exposed to a heat source that represents a fire. Therefore, a High-Temperature Thermal Vacuum Chamber (HTTVC) was used that allows the thermal loading of thermal insulation material in a vacuum and measuring the heat flow through the TSI in parallel. Within this study, 5 samples were tested regarding 3 different types of MLI, rock wool, and perlites. The thermal exposure caused different effects on the samples. In practice, this can be connected to the rapid release of flammable gases as well as a Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion (BLEVE). These results are relevant for the evaluation of accident scenarios, the improvement of TSI, and the development of emergency measures.

Variations of mixture composition, inert gas content, temperature and filling rate of the ignition autoclave were carried out in order to establish process boundaries for high temperature partial oxidation processes. The tests show that considerably high methane contents are needed to avoid an ignition. Heating-up tests show that ignition is possible at surprisingly low temperatures. This can be attributed to pre-ignition reactions that produce more instable intermediates.

Application of an infrared camera for mapping the thermal radiation after excitation with a diode laser equipped with an optical scanner allows us to examine a surface containing cracks in an entirely non-destructive, contactless and fast way, without even moving the camera. We developed an efficient and robust algorithm that can be applied directly to the recorded thermal sequences, and that derives a single image containing all crack signatures. For this crack detection technique, no specific synchronisation between laser and camera is required. Hence, our approach is suitable for an upgrade of existing thermographic systems. The feasibility of the proposed procedure is proven by testing an artificial test sample and a piece of rail that comprises roll contact fatigue cracks and by comparing the results with magnetic particle testing.

T1 - Structure-integrated fibre-optic strain wave sensor for pile testing and monitoring of reinforced concrete piles N2 - Reinforced concrete piles are used when structures are constructed on soft ground, because it is necessary to transfer the loads into deeper strata with a sufficient bearing capacity. Usually, static and dynamic pile tests are carried out in order to determine the pile’s behaviour and possible damages. The dynamic measurements can show the bearing behaviour and the structural integrity by using the theory of one-dimensional wave propagation. Commonly, the sensors are installed on the top of the pile head or embedded near the pile head. With the purpose of receiving more precise information about the pile features, now, a string of sensors is embedded at different levels of the pile. A fibre optic strain wave sensor has already been developed by Schallert. The sensor is based on the principle of the extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer and was already tested in laboratory and full-scale field tests with precast driven piles. It was possible to detect the introduced deformation caused by the static loading and the dilatational wave during dynamic low-strain as well as high-strain loading. Although the full-scale tests were successful, the high demands on the economy of the sensor required the optimisation of the sensor design. After laboratory tests with the optimised sensor, a cast-in-situ bored pile has been built at the BAM Test Site Technical Safety in Horstwalde, South of Berlin. In order to enable the comparison of the signals, additional fibre Bragg grating sensors, temperature sensors and resistance strain gauge sensors are embedded into the pile. In this paper, the optimised sensor and the setup of the cast-in-situ bored pile along with results of the conducted pile tests are shown together with an outlook on further field-tests in progress.

T1 - Explosive cutting of pipelines for the determination of materials properties N2 - Incidents in the past already showed that pipelines transporting compressible fluids are in risk of suffering propagating ductile fractures in case of damages to the pipes. Therefore, the knowledge of the fracture properties of pipeline steels is of high importance. Commonly the properties are determined in laboratory scale, but these do not fully correspond with full-scale fracture behaviour especially at dynamic conditions when highly pressurized gases are released during the crack propagation. This paper describes so-called West Jefferson Tests and Midscale-Tests in which pipelines under pressure were cut with an explosive charge to initiate the crack propagation.

Hydrogen in its free form can be stored and transported either as a gas or a liquid. Due to gaseous hydrogen's comparatively low energy density, liquefied hydrogen (LH 2) is often preferred, especially with regard to long-distance transportation and storage in bulk. A notable challenge associated with LH2 is the inherent requirement to preserve it at a low temperature of -253°C. Consequently, the utilisation of thermally insulated tanks is necessary to minimise LH 2 evaporation. There is a lack of literature on the environmental impacts of insulation materials and concepts for cryogenic storage tank applications in the hydrogen supply chain. Hence, this study investigates a novel concept, namely vacuum insulation panels (VIPs), focusing on their core materials, with a view to assessing their environmental sustainability and circularity. A cradle-to-grave life cycle assessment (LCA) model is employed to investigate six distinct VIP core materials, namely, silica aerogel, rigid polyurethane foam, expanded perlite, glass fibre, fumed silica, and glass bubbles (hollow glass microspheres), with a special focus on the latter. The LCA results show that polyurethane foam and silica aerogel rank low in environmental performance, making them less suitable as primary choice. Expanded perlite is the most environmentally friendly material option, followed by glass fibre, glass bubbles, and fumed silica. Improvements to the environmental impact of glass bubbles can be achieved via the implementation of closed-loop recycling in their life cycle.

T1 - Experimental investigation of large-scale hydrogen diffusion jet flames N2 - Hydrogen is a promising alternative to natural gas in industrial energy applications which would serve the goal of limiting global warming. However, wide application of hydrogen requires specific safety considerations taking into account that hydrogen is stored and transported under much higher pressure than natural gas. Thus, one scenario to be considered for hazard assessment is a sudden release of hydrogen from a leakage or safety valve and its subsequent ignition. For hydrocarbon flames, various jet flame models are available. However, hydrogen flames significantly differ from hydrocarbon flames in their combustion behavior, so that the applicability of these models to hydrogen has to be investigated. For that purpose, reals scale tests were carried out at the BAM Test Site Technical Safety. In addition, hydrocarbon jet flames (methane) were investigated. In these tests, the flame geometry and the thermal heat radiation were investigated for a release angle of 90°, for different release pressures (up to 220 bar) and mass flows (up to 0.175 kg/s). While existing heat radiation data from the literature are mostly based on unsteady outflow conditions and/or releases in still air, the experiments presented here are focused on ensuring a constant mass flow over the release duration under realistic free field conditions (with wind influence). This allows a better comparability with the stationary jet flame models and assessment of wind influence on model predictions. A number of parameters such as the surface emissive power of the jet flame and the radiant heat fraction were determined. A detailed comparison of the obtained experimental results with literature radiation models was performed. Good agreement between experimental and literature data was found for hydrogen whereas significant differences were identified for methane. Based on the investigations, empirical equations for modelling jet flames could be derived.

T1 - Experimental qualification and validation of fibre optic strain sensors N2 - Strain sensors used in practical applications must provide reliable measurement data. To achieve this, sensor systems must be validated by using experimental facilities that enable physically independent statements about the performance of the sensor components. The paper describes qualification and validation procedures using a special facility to qualify surface-applied strain sensors and to achieve reliable sensor results. Based on examples concerning fibre optic strain sensor patches with and without FBG sensors, the determination of the strain gauge factor also under combined thermal and mechanical loading will be presented.

T1 - Transport condition effects on the sealing system and activity release within spent fuel transport casks N2 - Transport casks for spent fuel have to meet the International Atomic Energy Agency requirements for routine, normal and accident conditions of transport (RCT, NCT, and ACT). In regard to Containment capability a transport cask has to be designed to restrict the release of radioactive content to the required limits of 10'6 A2 per hour under NCT and A2 per week for ACT. Two barriers, which should avoid the release of fuel particles and fission products to the environment, are discussed in this paper: fuel rod claddings and the cask sealing System composed of cask body as well as of bolted lids and metallic seals. Both barriers can be affected by transport conditions. Vibrations and impact forces can increase the fraction of rods undergoing cladding breaches and can also lead to deformations or displacements of cask components involving an unloading or a movement of the lids or the seals. The above mentioned effects have to be properly considered in the safety analysis carried out by the applicant. The assumptions and results of the activity release calculations are verified by BAM Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing. BAM is the German competent authority responsible, in particular, for Containment safety assessment within the licensing procedure of casks for spent fuel.

Auch vor dem Hintergrund der Ressourceneffizienz wird beispielsweise die Nutzung des in Bauschutt vorhandenen Wertstoffpotentials zunehmend wichtiger. Eine besondere Rolle spielt dabei die Wiederverwertung von Altbeton. Ein Grund hierfür ist der deutliche Anstieg des seit Mitte des letzten Jahrhunderts im Bauwesen verbrauchten Betons und die damit verbundene – zeitlich versetzte – Zunahme des Altbetonanteils im Bauschutt. Darüber hinaus ist das Wertstoffpotential von Altbeton im Vergleich zu anderen Abbruchmaterialien besonders groß, denn Altbeton kann unter bestimmten Bedingungen sehr hochwertig auch als rezyklierte Gesteinskörnung wieder in der Betonherstellung eingesetzt werden.

A1 - Otremba, Frank T1 - Insulation Materials Used in Tanks for the Storage of Cryogenic Fluids in Fire Scenarios N2 - The importance of tanks for storing cryogenic fluids in the energy industry is increasing because of ongoing political conflicts and the implementation of more environmentally friendly energy sources. Key representatives for the application of cryogenic tanks are natural gas in the form of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and hydrogen, e. g. in the form of Liquefied Hydrogen (LH2), for which significantly higher transport capacities can be achieved with the same transport volume using cryogenic storages than with storages based solely on overpressure. What applies to all cryogenic transported fluids in common is their condition that must be maintained. Hence heat flows into the preserved fluid must be minimized. Thermal super Insulations (TSI) based on e. g. multilayer insulations (MLI), perlites, and vacuum are utilized for this purpose and have already proven themselves in similar applications. However, for the use of tanks for cryogenic fluids in the transport sector, there is insufficient knowledge regarding the course and consequences of incidents, which is due to the still short period of use and the few documented incidents, hence few investigations carried out in this field. Typical scenarios in the transport sector represent car accidents with collisions, fires, and their combination, which are associated with extraordinary loads on the tank. The focus of this study is to investigate the behavior of TSI as a result of their thermal exposure to a heat source representing a fire. It is worth mentioning that this could lead to an increase of the heat flux into a tank by several orders of magnitude, and to permanent damage of the TSI, ultimately rapid release of flammable gas as well as a Boiling Liquide Expanding Vapour Explosion (BLEVE). For this purpose, a high temperature thermal vacuum chamber (HTTVC) has been developed that allows thermal loading of MLI or perlites in a vacuum and simultaneous measurement of heat flow through this TSI. The HTTVC is designed to represent realistic insulation conditions and to withstand thermal loads from typical design fires. The HTTVC was applied to investigate TSI based on MLI and vacuum. It is shown that the thermal stress caused permanent damage to the TSI, with shrinkage, phase change, pyrolysis, and condensation being significant damage mechanisms. The results are relevant for the evaluation of accident scenarios and can thus contribute to the improvement of TSI and the development of emergency measures for the protection of persons and infrastructures.

Consumption of hydrogen as a fuel meets several restrictions such as its low volumetric energy density in gas phase. To tackle this problem, storage as well as transportation in liquid phase is recommended. To be able to handle this component in liquid phase, an efficient thermal insulation e.g., MLI insulation is required. Some studies have been revealed vulnerability of this type of insulation against high heat flux, for instance a fire accident. Some investigations have been depicted the importance of consideration of the MLI thermal degradation in terms of its reflective layer. However, limited number of studies have been focused on the thermal degradation of spacer material and its effect on the overall heat flux. In this study, through systematic experimental measurements, the effect of thermal loads on glass fleece, glass paper as well as polyester spacers are investigated. The results are reported in various temperature and heat flux profiles. Interpreting the temperature profiles revealed as the number of spacers in the medium increases, the peak temperature detectable by the temperature sensor on the measurement plate decreases. Moreover, the contribution of each individual spacer in all cases regarding the experimental temperature range is assessed to be around 8%. This value may increase to around 50% for glass paper and polyester spacers, and to around 25% for glass fleece spacers as the number of spacer layers increases up to six layers. To utilize the outcomes of the experiment later and integrate the results into numerical and CFD simulations, a model is proposed for the mentioned experimental temperature range up to 300°C to predict a heat flux attenuation factor. The model proposes a fitting factor that can reproduce the least square fitted line to the experimental data.

Their storage requires tanks with thermal super-insulations to keep them at cryogenic conditions for a long time. These insulation systems have proven itself in various applications over a long time. However, these insulations are still new in land transportation, where accidents involving collisions, fires, and their combination are to be expected. This study summarizes the results of the ongoing research program in which insulations commonly used in industry were analysed through experimental and numerical studies under fire-like conditions. It was found that there are strong differences among the various insulation systems. Several safety concerns and research gaps exists for layered insulations, which are typically used in land transport. To further analyse these insulation systems, a new test concept called Cryogenic High Temperature Thermal Vacuum Chamber (CHTTVC) was developed and manufactured. This concept enables the testing of large insulation samples under industrial conditions and the consideration of cryogenic conditions relevant for the investigation of various phenomena. The results are important for the evaluation of accident scenarios, the improvement of thermal super-insulations, and the development of emergency measures.

These gases are known to be chemically unstable. A chemically unstable sas is a flammable gas that is able to react exolosivelv even in the absence of air or oxveen. The investigation of accidents showed that the Chemical instability of flammable gases played an important role in the severity of accidents. Therefore, this hazardous property was included in the global harmonizatiön of the Classification of Chemicals. The Classification of chemically unstable flammable gases and mixtures is an amendment to Chapter 2.2 “Flammable gases” of the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), because most chemically unstable gases are flammable as well. The proposal to add them to the GHS originated from the experts of an informal working group of the UN Sub-Committee of Expert on the GHS (UNSCEGHS) headed by BAM, Germany. The UNSCEGHS has decided to include it in the Fourth Revised Edition of the GHS. The respective method for determining whether a gas is chemically unstable or not, is included in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria.

T1 - A Framework for Transforming Process Control System Data from a Hydrogen Fueling Station into HyCReD Data N2 - Reliability data for hydrogen infrastructure components is essential for developing Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) for these technologies, which in turn is necessary for a safer deployment and expansion of the hydrogen market. However, there is currently a lack of hydrogen component reliability data available for these systems, thus limiting the usefulness of insights obtained from these QRA. The Hydrogen Component Reliability Database (HyCReD) has been proposed as a tool for reliability data collection and as a source for future QRAs. In this paper, we develop a digital tool that automatically processes data coming from Process Control System (PCS) in a hydrogen fueling station, detects the relevant failure events for hydrogen systems during its operation, and then logs the event information into HyCReD. To build this tool, we first categorized the station components in hydrogen service, their specific failure modes, and the specific failure mechanisms that are relevant to a QRA. Then, we identified the data available in the station PCS and the methods available for diagnosing the relevant failure events. The resulting tool is divided into three steps: (1) PCS data collection through an API, (2) data analysis for the detection and diagnosis of new failure events, and (3) logging that event into HyCReD. Finally, we discuss the potential for expanding the detection and diagnosis to more complex failure modes present in a hydrogen fueling station. This digital tool is set for implementation and validation on an experimental hydrogen fueling site. The goal for this digital tool is to be applicable to every kind of hydrogen fueling station and to be extendable to similar hydrogen technologies.

A1 - Cozzani, Valerio A1 - Seidlitz, Holger T1 - Repeatable testing of a cryogenic storage tank with variable insulation material in fire like conditions N2 - For decarbonizing the energy industry and transport, cryogenic energy carriers have great potential. The storage takes place in tanks with thermal super-insulations, which are in application for decades, but there is only limited knowledge about its behaviour in a fire scenario. This represents a major incident that may generate extraordinary loads on the tank and its insulation system, and that eventually lead to a sudden tank failure. This paper presents a test rig called the Cryogenic High Temperature Thermal Vacuum Chamber (CHTTVC), which can be used to test typical thermal superinsulation’s under cryogenic and fire-like conditions in parallel. The test method makes it possible to measure the heat flow through the thermal superinsulation over time and to investigate the degradation behaviour of the insulation within a test. In the paper results from the first tests are presented.

T1 - Development of a device for staged determination of water activity and moisture content N2 - Moisture content and water activity are important parameters for quality characterization of products like bulk materials, powders, granules. Thus, an exact determination is necessarily required in a wide range of industrial applications. Moisture of materials is the content of non-chemically bound water in a solid or liquid. Water activity (aW) is a characteristic/parameter of the non-chemically bound ("free") water in materials and is measured as humidity over a solid/liquid surface at constant temperature (equilibrium moisture content). It is an important parameter to characterize the quality of e. g. pharmaceutical and food products. In our contribution, we present the developed MOISHUM device for staged determination of water activity and moisture content of liquid and solid materials.

Diese Sensoren werden in der Industrie verwendet, um die Spurenfeuchte in unterschiedlichen Gasen zu messen. Normalerweise erfolgt eine Beschichtung der Sensoren mit Phosphorpentoxid und dessen Hydrolyseprodukte. In dieser Arbeit wurde stattdessen eine hygroskopische ionische Flüssigkeit benutzt. Die generierte Gasfeuchte für die Untersuchungen betrug bezogen auf die Frostpunkttemperatur -80 °C bis -30 °C, was gleichbedeutend mit einem Wasserdampf-Stoffmengenanteil von 0,5 μmol·mol-1 bis 376 μmol·mol-1 ist. Zusätzlich zu der Messung mit coulometrischen Sensoren erfolgte eine Referenzmessung der Gasfeuchte mittels eines Taupunkthygrometers. Erste Ergebnisse haben gezeigt, dass es möglich ist mit dieser Art der Beschichtung unterschiedliche Gasfeuchten zu messen. Aber es ergaben sich trotz gleicher Feuchte unterschiedliche Signalintensitäten bei den benutzen Sensoren und es zeigte sich eine Drift des Sensorsignales.

T1 - Combining of TD-GC-MS and home developed electronic nose for road traffic air monitoring N2 - In this work, we demonstrate the ability of an electronic nose system based on an array of six-semiconductor gas sensors for outdoor air quality monitoring over a day at a traffic road in downtown of Meknes city (Morocco). The response of the sensor array reaches its maximum in the evening of the investigated day which may due to high vehicular traffic or/and human habits resulting in elevated concentrations of pollutants. Dataset treatment by Principal Component Analysis and Discriminant Function Analysis shows a good discrimination between samples collected at different times of the day. Moreover, Support Vector Machines were used and reached a classification success rate of 97.5 %. Thermal Desorption-Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (TD-GC-MS) technique was used to validate the developed e-nose system by identifying the composition of the analyzed air samples. The discrimination obtained by e-nose system was in good agreement with the TD-GC-MS results. This study demonstrates the usefulness of TD-GC-MS and e-nose, providing high accuracy in discriminating outdoor air samples collected at different times. This demonstrates the potential of using the e-nose as a rapid, easy to use and inexpensive environmental monitoring system.

Humidified gas flow at adjusted gas pressure was split into two flows, one passed a coulometric sensor and the other one passed a reference hygrometer after decompression. Both signals were recorded and then compared after calculation of resulting frost point temperature. Calculation is based on a calibration function obtained at ambient pressure. Comparison showed that an increasing pressure resulted in a higher derivation between sensor signal (calculated frost point temperature) and reference frost point temperature. At an absolute pressure of 2 bar the differences were minor in consideration of the uncertainty, however at 15 bar the differences were 6.77 K. Nevertheless, it was possible to measure the gas humidity at higher pressure with coulometric trace humidity sensors.
