TY - CONF A1 - Kruschwitz, Sabine T1 - Challenges in Intelligent Computing for Non destructive testing in civil engineering – today and tomorrow N2 - A large amount of data and information is collected in the field of non-destructive testing (NDT) in civil engineering. The weakly structured data are usually evaluated with regard to specific testing tasks (e.g. geometry determination, damage localization, quality assurance). While the data offers great economic potential, i.e. to support construction planning, monitoring and maintenance processes, the evaluation is manual and case-by-case and therefore too inefficient for broader applications. We present recent visions and approaches how these large amounts of data need to be handled in the future and how we aim to make the acquired knowledge accessible to our stakeholders. Building on initiatives in materials research, we stress the importance of further research in the field of semantic data integration particularly motivate why an ontology is needed for the area of NDT in civil engineering.

T1 - Machine learning based multi-sensor fusion for the nondestructive testing of corrosion in concrete N2 - Half-cell potential mapping (HP) is the most popular non-destructive testing method (NDT) for locating corrosion damage in concrete. It is generally accepted that HP is susceptible to environmental factors caused by salt-related deterioration, such as different moisture and chloride gradients. Additional NDT methods are able to identify distinctive areas but are not yet used to estimate more accurate test results. We present a Supervised Machine Learning (SML) based approach to data fusion of seven different signal features to obtain higher quality information. SMLs are methods that explore (or learn) relationships between different (sensor) data from predefined data labels. To obtain a representative, labelled data set we conducted a comprehensive experiment simulating the deterioration cycle of a chloride exposed device in the laboratory. Our data set consists of 18 measurement campaigns, each containing HP, Ground Penetrating- Radar, Microwave Moisture and Wenner resistivity data. We compare the performance of different ML approaches. Many outperform the best single method, HP. We describe the intrinsic challenges posed by a data-driven approach in NDT and show how future work can help overcome them.

T1 - Radiographic film system classification and noise characterisation by a camera-based digitisation procedure N2 - Extracting statistical characteristics from radiographic films is vital for film system classification and contrast sensitivity evaluation and serves as a basis for film noise simulation. A new method for digitising radiographic films in order to extract these characteristics is presented. The method consists of a camera-based setup and image processing procedure to digitise films. Correct optical density values and granularity can be extracted from the digitised images, which are equal to results obtained by standardised measurement procedures. Specific statistical characteristics of film noise are theoretically derived and subsequently verified by the obtained data, including characteristics such as Gaussianity and spatial spectral characteristics of the optical density fluctuations. It is shown that the presented method correctly measures the granularity of film noise and can therefore replace time-consuming microdensitometer measurements traditionally required for film system classifications. Additionally, the inherent unsharpness of film systems was investigated and compared with literature data. This comparison serves as another validation approach of the presented method.

T1 - Realistic film noise generation based on experimental noise spectra N2 - Generating 2D noise with local, space-varying spectral characteristics is vital where random noise fields with spatially heterogeneous statistical properties are observed and need to be simulated. A realistic, non-stationary noise generator relying on experimental data is presented. That generator is desired in areas such as photography and radiography. For example, before performing actual X-ray imaging in practice, output images are simulated to assess and improve setups. For that purpose, realistic film noise modelling is crucial because noise downgrades the detectability of visual signals. The presented film noise synthesiser improves the realism and value of radiographic simulations significantly, allowing more realistic assessments of radiographic test setups. The method respects space-varying spectral characteristics and probability distributions, locally simulating noise with realistic granularity and contrast. The benefits of this approach are to respect the correlation between noise and image as well as internal correlation, the fast generation of any number of unique noise samples, the exploitation of real experimental data, and its statistical non-stationarity. The combination of these benefits is not available in existing work. Validation of the new technique was undertaken in the field of industrial radiography. While applied to that field here, the technique is general and can also be utilised in any other field where the generation of 2D noise with local, space-varying statistical properties is necessary.

For this purpose, a measurement setup with interchangeable layers is developed to vary the screed material (cement or anhydrite) and insulation material (glass wool, perlite, expanded and extruded polystyrene), as well as the respective layer thickness. The evaluation of the 2 GHz common-offset radar measurements is focused on the extraction of distinctive signal features that can be used to classify the underlying case of damage without any further information about the hidden materials or layer thicknesses. In the collected dataset, we analyze the horizontal distribution of A-scan features in corresponding B-scans to detect water in the insulation layer. Furthermore, possible combinations of these features are investigated with the use of multivariate data analysis and machine learning (logistic regression) in order to evaluate the mutual dependencies. In this study, the combination of an amplitude- and frequency-based feature achieved an accuracy of 93.2 % and performed best to detect a damage in floor insulations.

This paper focuses on the application of a method originally developed to remove interference fringes in the mid-infrared spectra for far-infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy on thin polymer films. We show that the total transmittance-reflectance technique, commonly used for mid-infrared, also works successfully in the far infrared spectral range where other approaches fail. Experimental spectra obtained by such technique are supported by model calculations and reveal the possibility and limits to obtain almost undisturbed far-infrared spectra which are suitable to determine low energy vibrations of ionomer salts under certain sample conditions.

An inverse thermal hysteresis is observed for ΔTad due to the delayed thermal transfer. By numerical simulations of application-relevant sinusoidal magnetic field profiles, it can be stated that for field-frequencies of up to two field cycles per second heat can be efficiently transferred from the core to the outside of the jacket. In addition, intense numerical simulations of the temperature change of the core and jacket were performed by varying different parameters, such as frequency, heat capacity, thermal conductivity and interface resistance in order to shed light on their impact on ΔTeff at the outside of the jacket in comparison to ΔTad provided by the core.

The influence of inner gas pores in feedstock particles on the final AM product is a phenomenon which is difficult to investigate since very few non-destructive measurement techniques are accurate enough to resolve the micropores. 3D X-ray computed tomography (XCT) is increasingly applied during the process chain of AM parts as a non-destructive monitoring and quality control tool and it is able to detect most of the pores. However, XCT is time-consuming and limited to small amounts of feedstock powder, typically a few milligrams. The aim of the presented approach is to investigate digital radiography of AM feedstock particles as a simple and fast quality check with high throughput. 2D digital radiographs were simulated in order to predict the visibility of pores inside metallic particles for different pore and particle diameters. An experimental validation was performed. It was demonstrated numerically and experimentally that typical gas pores above a certain size (here: 3 to 4.4 µm for the selected X-ray setup), which could be found in metallic microparticles, were reliably detected by digital radiography.

Although they serve as a basis for scientific analyses, there is still no uniform representation of the data. An analysis of various distributed data sets across different test objects is therefore only possible with high manual effort. We present a system architecture for an integrated data management of distributed data sets based on Semantic Web technologies. The approach is essentially based on a mathematical model - the so-called ontology - which represents the knowledge of our domain NDT. The ontology developed by us is linked to data sources and thus describes the semantic meaning of the data. Furthermore, the ontology acts as a central concept for database access. Non-domain data sources can be easily integrated by linking them to the NDT construction ontology and are directly available for generic use in the sense of digitization. Based on an extensive literature research, we outline the possibilities that this offers for NDT in civil engineering, such as computer-aided sorting, analysis, recognition and explanation of relationships (explainable AI) for several million measurement data. The expected benefits of this approach of knowledge representation and data access for the NDT community are an expansion of knowledge through data exchange in research (interoperability), the scientific exploitation of large existing data sources with data-based methods (such as image recognition, measurement uncertainty calculations, factor analysis, material characterization) and finally a simplified exchange of NDT data with engineering models and thus with the construction industry. Ontologies are already the core of numerous intelligent systems such as building information modeling or research databases. This contribution gives an overview of the range of tools we are currently creating to communicate with them.

Obwohl Sie als Grundlage für wissenschaftliche Analysen dienen, gibt es noch keine einheitliche Repräsentation der Daten. Eine Analyse verschiedener verteilter Datensätze über unterschiedliche Prüfobjekte hinweg ist daher kaum möglich. Wir stellen einen Ansatz für ein integriertes Datenmanagement verteilter Datensätze auf Basis von Semantic-Web Technologien vor. Der Ansatz basiert im Kern auf einem mathematischen Modell – der sogenannten Ontologie – welches das Wissen unserer Domäne ZfPBau repräsentiert. Die von uns entwickelte ZfPBau Ontologie wird mit Datenquellen verknüpft und beschreibt so die semantische Bedeutung der Daten. Darüber hinaus fungiert die Ontologie als zentrales Konzept für den Datenbankzugriff. Domänen-fremde Datenquellen können durch die Verknüpfung mit der ZfPBau Ontologie einfach integriert werden und stehen zur generischen Nutzung im Sinne der Digitalisierung direkt zur Verfügung. Basierend auf einer umfangreichen Literaturrecherche, skizzieren wir die Möglichkeiten die sich daraus für die ZfP im Bauwesen ergeben, wie zum Beispiel Messdaten computergestützt zu sortieren, zu analysieren, Zusammenhänge zu erkennen und zu erklären. Der erwartete Nutzen dieses Ansatzes der Wissensrepräsentation und des Datenzugriffs für die ZfP-Community ist eine Erweiterung des Wissens durch Datenaustausch in der Forschung (Interoperabilität), die wissenschaftliche Verwertung großer existierender Datenquellen mit datenbasierten Verfahren (wie Bilderkennung, Messunsicherheitsberechnungen, Faktoranaylsen, Materialcharackterisierung) und letztlich ein vereinfachter Transfer von ZFP-Daten in Ingenieurmodelle und somit in die Baupraxis. Ontologien sind bereits Kern vielzähliger intelligenter Systeme wie Building-Information-Modeling oder Forschungsdatenbanken.

T1 - Impact damage characterization at RC plates with planar tomography and FEM N2 - Prediction of dynamic effects of reinforced concrete structures under impact loading is a technical challenge. This is a consequence of the great variability of the physical properties resulting from the wide adaptability of reinforced concrete and a consequence of the wide range of impact loading. Experiments and numerical investigations are normally used on a small scale to address the problem. In this paper, impact tests on reinforced conrete plates with the lateral dimensions of 1.5 m x 1.5 m and a thickness of 30 cm are presented. In bending reinforcement, besides the velocity two properties are varied, the diameter and the spatial distribution of the rebars. Experiments are performed at the Otto-Mohr-Laboratory of the Institute of Concrete Structures of the Technische Universit¨at Dresden. Due to the accelerated fall of the impactor the velocity ranges between 20 and 70 m/s. In addition to the measured quantities such as bearing forces, accelerations are also measured at 4 different positions on and under the plate, as well as the deflection at several positions. The measured data are used for the analysis of the damage form and the numerical examinations with the program Ansys Autodyn and the material model after Drucker-Prager. Numerical investigations support the tests, with detailed analysis of individual effects. These numerical computations and the planar tomographic investigations were carried out at BAM in Berlin. With the help of planar tomographic evaluation, the damaged structure is made visible and compared with the numerical results. Influences of the bending reinforcement are explained on the basis of damage evaluation in the local area and on selected measured values. In addition to the test evaluation, the tomographic and numerical methods are presented.

But why is it so difficult for the NDT community to achieve real breakthroughs with data-driven science? In this seminar, we will take a brief look at the evolution of mainstream data science to understand why the most exciting times are perhaps just ahead. We will give an overview of our activities in the junior research group 8.K which are aimed at enabling the next generation of data science methods in NDT. The seminar addresses the two main work fields of our group: semantic data management and the handling of limited data resources. The first field addresses the problem that a uniform representation of our data is not yet available. However, knowledge creation in data science - whose main contribution lies in the analysis of distributed resources - requires common data access based on a collective understanding. To achieve this, we present an ontology-based approach. Ontologies are already the core of many intelligent systems such as building information models or research databases. We summarize some of the basic principles of this technology and describe our approach to create an NDT ontology. The second field ties in with the first and addresses the application of data-based methods in engineering practice. Especially in the field of non-destructive testing many successful applications have been published. In most cases, however, the creation of referenced data is extremely expensive and therefore much sparser than in other research areas. As a result, the available data may cover only one scenario, so that common benchmarks often do not reflect the actual performance of the model in practical applications. Estimates that quantify the transferability from one scenario to another are not only necessary to overcome this challenge - they also prove to be a powerful tool for the strategic expansion of what we consider knowledge.

Several factors such as national funding and advances in information technology, are driving the development. In particular, the creation of databases and the analysis of data with artifical intelligence are playing an important role in establishing the new paradigm. However, there are numerous challenges that must be overcome to realize the full potential of data-driven methods.

More than a century ago, thermomagnetic generators were proposed, which are based on a change of magnetization with temperature, switching a magnetic flux, which according to Faraday’s law induces a voltage. In this talk, we first describe the principle of thermomagnetic generators. Then we focus on the impact of topology of the magnetic circuit within thermomagnetic generators. We demonstrate that the key operational parameters strongly depend on the genus, i.e. the number of holes within the magnetic circuit. A pretzel-like topology of the magnetic circuit with genus =3 improves the performance of thermomagnetic generators by orders of magnitude. We will show that this technique is on its way to becoming competitive with thermoelectrics for energy harvesting near room temperature.

One of the most investigated advantages of steel fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) is the deceleration of crack growth and hence it’s improved sustainability due to e.g. decrease of permeability of concrete by aggressive substances. Additional benefits are associated with the structural properties of FRC, where fibres can significantly increase the ductility and the tensile strength of concrete. In some applications, such as tunnel linings or industrial slabs, it is even possible to entirely replace the conventional reinforcement, leading to significant logistical and environmental benefits. Fibre reinforcement can, however, have critical disadvantages and even hinder the performance of concrete, since it can induce an anisotropic material behaviour of the mixture if the fibres are not appropriately oriented. For a safe use of FRC in the future, reliable non-destructive methods need to be identified to assess the fibres’ orientation in hardened concrete. In this study, ultrasonic material testing, electrical impedance testing, and X-ray computer tomography have been investigated for this purpose using specially produced samples with biased or random fibre orientations. This paper demonstrates the capabilities of each of these NDT techniques for fibre orientation measurements and draws conclusions based on these results about the most promising areas for future research and development using these techniques.

This is intended to supplement or replace the previously practiced manual sorting, which harbors many risks and dangers for the staff and only enables obvious, visually detectable differences for separation. The method of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy is to be used in combination with hyperspectral sensors. Due to the jointly processed information (data fusion), this should lead to a significant improvement in the separation of types. In addition to the sorting of different materials (concrete, main masonry building materials, organic components, glass, etc.), impurities such as SO3-containing building materials (gypsum, aerated concrete, etc.) could also be detected and separated. The subsequent recycling and sales opportunities are examined, such as the use of recycled aggregates in concrete, the recycling of building materials containing sulphate as a gypsum substitute for the cement industry or the agglomeration of synthetic lightweight aggregates for lightweight concrete or as a substrate for green roofs. At the same time, it is investigated whether soluble components (sulfates, heavy metals, etc.) can be detected by LIBS without a wet chemical analysis and what impact the recycling materials have on the environment. The entire value chain is examined using the example of the Berlin location in order to minimize economic / technological barriers and obstacles on a cluster level and to sustainably increase the recovery and recycling rates.

N2 - The aim of this presentation is twofold: first, to present the field of psychology including its research methods and, second, to show on an example how psychology can be used in material research. The example is of the study of human factors in non-destructive testing (NDT), in which the author has more than 10 years of experience. The conclusion is that psychological methods can be used to identify human-related problems during different tasks and to generate mitigation strategies that can be used to decrease human error and enhance safety.

This will change people’s work from being operators of the system into becoming strategical decision makers and flexible problem solvers. This shift will require a new division of work between people and technical systems, a new division of responsibilities and new ways of interacting with technology, which in turn will pose new demands on people. People will require different physical and cognitive capabilities, different competencies and new strategies to cope with the upcoming challenges. The focus of Industry 4.0 is therefore on designing systems with human in the centre: systems that will extend people’s capabilities, that will allow collaborative work and take advantage of performances in which either people or technology excel. This presentation will focus on the benefits of consideration of human-machine interaction in the context of industry 4.0.

N2 - That human factors (HF) affect the reliability of NDT is not novelty. Still, when it comes to reliability assessments, the role of people is often neglected. Reliability is typically expressed in terms of POD curves, and the effects of human and organisational factors on the inspection are typically tackled by the regulations, procedures and by the qualification and training of the inspection personnel. However, studies have shown that even the most experienced personnel can make mistakes and that the reliability in the field is never as high as the reliability measured in the POD experiments. Generally, HF are considered too unpredictable and too uncontrollable to model. If that is the fact, then what can we do? The engineering perspective to this problem has often been to find ways to automate inspections and, recently, to make use of artificial intelligence tools to decrease the direct effect of people on the inspection results and improve the overall efficiency and reliability. However, despite automation and AI, people remain the key players, though their tasks change. The contemporary approach to HF is not to engineer them out of the system but to design human-machine systems that make the best use of both. In this talk, ways of tackling HF in the design of systems and processes will be presented.

T1 - NDE 4.0: New Paradigm for the NDE Inspection Personnel N2 - Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) is entering an era of the fourth industrial revolution and will undergo a major transformation. NDE is a vital part of industry and a successful move to NDE 4.0, it will require not just developing and embracing new technologies, but also developing and adopting new ways of working and becoming an integral part of the overall Industry 4.0. This will pose new challenges for the inspection personnel. To ensure the expected benefits from NDE 4.0, inspectors need stay in charge of the changing inspections. The promised autonomy and interconnectedness of NDE 4.0 will supersede the majority of traditional inspector tasks and will in turn require a different set of skills and raise different demands and challenges for the inspection personnel, thus conflicting the current “procedure-following”-“level I-III” paradigm. The new industry 4.0 technologies can be integrated into the current framework, but exploiting their full potential requires changes in the role of the inspectors. The inspectors will be relieved from the tedious and error-prone aspects of the current system. At the same time, they will need to take responsibility for increasingly complex automated systems and work in closer collaboration with other experts. We propose that the traditional inspector roles will be transformed into that of the system developer, caretaker, and problem solver, each requiring a specific set of skills and assuming different responsibilities. For full NDE 4.0, NDE must abandon its traditional role as a self-contained entity with well-defined boundaries and take its role in the wider system that is the industry 4.0.

T1 - Analysis of angular dependent spatial frequency response of Digital Coplanar Translational Laminography N2 - Digital Coplanar Translational Laminography (CTL) is a radiographic imaging technique that permits the visualization of structural details and discontinuities in the object of interest after 3D reconstruction from multiple projections. This technique becomes quite competitive regarding to computed tomography in situations of arrangements in which no complete rotation of the X-ray source - detector system around the object of interest is accessible or in cases where the part to be inspected has a high geometric asymmetry. The literature does not show many studies about image quality for different laminographic reconstructions and scan geometries. Different methodologies for measuring the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) as a key image quality parameter for the aforementioned technique are applied. The MTF was measured using different approaches, presampled MTF or sampled MTF, both based on the Fourier Transform-Magnitude Spectrum or the square wave MTF using line pattern gauges. A sample known as Siemens Star with a converging line pattern was used to measure the circular square wave MTF. This circular MTF provides information on the direction dependent contrast transfer related to the measurement conditions, the reconstruction algorithms and the translational scan direction. For this purpose, several MTF measurements were performed in multiple angular directions. Beyond it, reconstructions were performed using different algorithms (Filtered Shifted Average) and an iterative one (MART – Multiplicative Algebraic Reconstruction Technique). Image quality analysis were done for both reconstruction methods. MART showed an image quality improvement for challenging conditions for laminographic arrangements, such as for a low number of projections (down to 25 for this study, considered as limited view, limited angle reconstruction). Additionally, a Gadolinium gauge with parallel line patterns within a range from 10 μm to 1000 μm was used to compare the square wave MTF with the sine MTFs, measured by the different techniques mentioned above. The results show that the MTF techniques presented are equivalent in this study. The results obtained for this Gadolinium plate showed a good agreement between MTF10% and SRb image measurements. The methodology presented here is used for the characterization of the frequency dependent spatial resolution of measurements obtained from different laminographic reconstruction techniques and scan geometries. Finally, from the acquisitions and reconstructions obtained with the Siemens Star, cross laminographic images were calculated in order to improve the direction dependent sensitivity. The results showed a better detectability for cross laminographic images in comparison to unidirectional coplanar translational laminographic images covering dead zones.

Allerdings ist die Erstellung von Referenzdaten in den meisten Fällen extrem teuer und daher viel knapper als in anderen Forschungsbereichen. Auch decken die verfügbaren Daten mitunter nur ein einziges Szenario ab, so dass die Leistungsindikatoren oft nicht die tatsächliche Leistung des ML-Modells in der praktischen Anwendung widerspiegeln. Schätzungen, die die Übertragbarkeit von einem Szenario auf ein anderes quantifizieren, sind erforderlich, um dieser Herausforderung gerecht zu werden und den Weg für Anwendungen in der Praxis zu ebnen. In diesem Beitrag stellen wir Werkzeuge zur Beschreibung der Unsicherheit von ML in neuen ZfPBau-Szenarien vor. Zu diesem Zweck haben wir einen bestehenden Trainingsdatensatz zur Klassifizierung von Korrosionsschäden der Bewehrung in Beton um eine neue Fallstudie erweitert. Die Messungen wurden an großflächigen Betonproben mit eingebauter chloridinduzierter Korrosion des Bewehrungsstahls durchgeführt. Das Experiment simulierte den gesamten Lebenszyklus von chloridinduzierten Sichtbetonbauteilen im Labor. Unser Datensatz umfasst Potenzialfeld- und Radarmessungen. Die einzigartige Fähigkeit, die Schädigung zu überwachen und eine gezielte Korrosion einzuleiten, ermöglichte es, die Daten zu labeln - was für die Konstruktion von ML-Modellen entscheidend ist. Um die Übertragbarkeit zu untersuchen, erweitern wir unser Modell um Metadaten - wie etwa Konstruktionsmerkmale des Prüfkörpers und Umweltbedingungen. Dies erlaubt es, die Veränderung dieser Merkmale in neuen Szenarien mit statistischen Methoden als Unsicherheiten auszudrücken. Wir vergleichen verschiedene auf Stichproben und statistischer Verteilung basierende Ansätze und zeigen, wie diese Methoden eingesetzt werden können, um Wissenslücken von ML-Modellen in der ZfP zu schließen T2 - DGZfP Jahrestagung 2021 CY - Online meeting DA - 10.05.2021 KW - Machine Learning KW - Zerstörungsfreie Prüfung KW - Datenfusion KW - Multi Sensor KW - Unsicherheitsquantifizierung PY - 2021 AN - OPUS4-54124 LA - deu AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - CONF A1 - Völker, Christoph T1 - Uncertainty quantification for a sparse machine learning (ML) data set in non-destructive testing in civil engineering (NDT-CE) N2 - ML has been successfully applied to solve many NDT-CE tasks. This is usually demonstrated with performance metrics that evaluate the model as a whole based on a given set of data. However, since in most cases the creation of reference data is extremely expensive, the data used is generally much sparser than in other areas, such as e-commerce. As a result, performance indicators often do not reflect the practical applicability of the ML model. Estimates that quantify transferability from one case to another are necessary to meet this challenge and pave the way for real world applications. In this contribution we invetigate the uncertainty of ML in new NDT-CE scenarios. For this purpose, we have extended an existing training data set for the classification of corrosion damage by a new case study. Our data set includes half-cell potential mapping and ground-penetrating radar measurements. The measurements were performed on large-area concrete samples with built-in chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcement. The experiment simulated the entire life cycle of chloride induced exposed concrete components in the laboratory. The unique ability to monitor deterioration and initiate targeted corrosion initiation allowed the data to be labelled - which is crucial to ML. To investigate transferability, we extend our data by including new design features of the test specimen and environmental conditions.

We compare different sampling and statistical distribution-based approaches and show how these methods can be used to close knowledge gaps of ML models in NDT.

The variation of their proportions alone leads to millions of materials candidates. Identifying suitable materials is very laborious; traditional systematic research in the laboratory consumes a lot of time and effort. Sequential learning (SL) potentially speeds up the materials research process despite limited but highly complex available information. SL does not make direct predictions of material properties but ranks possible experiments according to their utility. The most promising experiments are prioritized over dead-end experiments and experiments whose outcome is already known. Our work has shown that SL seems to be promising for cement research. So far, research has mainly focused on materials whose synthesis is faster and whose material properties require less time for development or characterization (allowing many successive experiments). Contrarily, in the case of binders, SL is only useful if few experiments lead to the desired goal, as for example, the determination of the compressive strength alone typically requires 28 days. In research practice, experimental designs and the availability of resources often determine which data can be used - for example, when some laboratory resources are not available or deemed irrelevant to a task. As a result, new research scenarios are constantly emerging, each of which requires to demonstrate SL’s performance. We are presenting the SLAMD app to facilitate the exploration of SL methods in numerous research scenarios. The app provides flexible and low-threshold access to AI methods via intuitive and interactive user interfaces. We deliberately pursue a software-based research approach (as opposed to code-, or script-based). On the one hand, the results are more comprehensible since we refer to a common (code) basis (’reproducible science’). On the other hand, the methods are easily accessible to all which accelerates the knowledge transfer into laboratory practice.

Teil des Projektes ist die Entwicklung eines zur Lochkameramethode äquivalenten Messverfahrens für kleine Brennflecke. ASTM E 1165-20, Annex A, beschreibt die Bestimmung von Brennfleckgrößen aus Kantenprofilen von Lochaufnahmen für Röntgenröhren mit Brennflecken > 50 μm. Es wurde bereits vorgeschlagen über die Analyse der richtungsabhängigen Kantenunschärfe einer Lochblende und anschließender CT-Rekonstruktion die Intensitätsverteilung des Brennflecks äquivalent zur Lochkameraaufnahme zu berechnen. Die Lochkameramethode, wie in EN 12543-2 und ASTM E 1165-20 beschrieben, ist im unteren Größenbereich für Mikrofokusröhren nicht geeignet, da Pinholes < 10 μm schwer zu fertigen sind und lange Belichtungszeiten erwartet werden. Mit Hilfe exakt gefertigter Lochblenden sowie strukturierter Targets mit konvergierenden Strukturen wird der Bereich mit der Single-Shot-CT-Methode auf die Messung von Mikrofokusröhren, alternativ zur Vermessung von Kanten oder Strichgruppenkörpern, erweitert. Die rekonstruierten Brennfleckformen werden mit Kanten und Lochkameraaufnahmen quantitativ verglichen, um die Messgenauigkeit zu bewerten. Außerdem werden CNR und Messzeit bestimmt, um die Wirtschaftlichkeit der Verfahren zu bewerten.

This permits to distinguish between overlapping indications, measure the extension along radiation direction and classify indications as surface open or subsurface ones as required in critical engineering assessment. This work provides a comparative study and measurements of the three techniques Digital Radiography (DR) with Digital Detector Arrays (DDA), Coplanar Translational Laminography (CTL) and Computed Tomography (CT), applied for composite pipeline inspection. It is demonstrated that CTL and CT provide advantages for the evaluation of pipe-to-pipe connections and the evaluation of adhesive applications. They show indications of discontinuities with higher contrast sensitivity than radiography. Beyond it, two specimen, namely Phantom 1 and Phantom 2, were developed and manufactured by additive manufacturing to analyze the preferential detection sensitivity and the direction of features and depth information for laminographic measurements. Another goal was to show the laminographic capabilities to distinguish between overlapping discontinuities. CTL is especially suitable for mobile inspection. Special glass fiber reinforced polymer samples (GRP) were manufactured for further analysis and comparisons between the abovementioned techniques. Finally, Phantoms 1 and 2 show the capability of laminography to detect overlapping indications and also show that discontinuities oriented perpendicular to the scan direction have the highest contrast sensitivity for laminographic measurements.

W.Y. T1 - GPR wave dispersion for material characterization N2 - This paper studies the dispersion of GPR wave’s phase velocity at different wideband frequencies in plywood and concrete with varying moisture content. This study makes use of two GPR antennas with 2 GHz centre frequency operating in wide angle reflection and refraction (WARR) mode and with computation of spectral analysis of the surface wave (SASW). Computation of phase velocities is based on the Acquisition of the cross-power spectrum and phase unwrap of two distorted ground waves at positions Closer to and farther away from the transmitting antenna. The velocities of the ground waves are found to experience greater dispersion in low frequency regimes within the effective frequency bandwidths determined and thresholded by time–frequency analysis (TFA) and coherence plotting of the ground waves. This study validates not only the methodology, but also identifies the optimal distance between the first (Rx1) and second (Rx2) receivers as k/2, which is based on a fixed transmitter (Tx) minus the first Receiver (Rx1) distance. It serves as an indication of changeable separation distance when other lower frequency GPR is used because the distances of Tx-Rx1 and Rx1-Rx2 are wavelength dependent and thus also frequency dependent. Effects of moisture contents and chloride contamination in concrete were also characterized according to the dispersion plots . that wave traelling in lower frequencies in GPR wave is much decelerated than that in higher frequencies. This research also contributes to the building of the ‘‘GPRWARR machine” suggested in Annan and Jackson (2017) [1], within which the effects of wave Dispersion on phase velocity can be inversely modelled to characterize variations in the material properties of infrastructure as a means of detecting surface damage.

The main problems for their use, as in the application of any of the methods for assessing the reliability, are the lack of information about the actual defect situation and the limited number of defects in the samples of the objects of control. An additional problem of constructing an operational characteristic of detection is the lack of information about the size of defects and the lack of a universal size for various types of defects. The article summarizes the experience of constructing operational characteristics based on the results of ultrasonic testing.

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

T1 - Efficient and affordable thermomagnetic materials for harvesting low grade waste heat N2 - Industrial processes release substantial quantities of waste heat, which can be harvested to generate electricity. At present, the conversion of low grade waste heat to electricity relies solely on thermoelectric materials, but such materials are expensive and have low thermodynamic efficiencies. Although thermomagnetic materials may offer a promising alternative, their performance remains to be evaluated, thereby hindering their real-world application. Here, the efficiency and cost effectiveness of thermomagnetic materials are evaluated for the usage in motors, oscillators, and generators for converting waste heat to electricity. The analysis reveals that up to temperature differences of several 10 K, the best thermomagnetic materials have the potential to compete with thermoelectric materials. Importantly, it is found that the price per watt of some thermomagnetic materials is much lower compared to that of present-day thermoelectrics, which can become competitive with conventional power plants. This materials library enables the selection of the best available thermomagnetic materials for harvesting waste heat and gives guidelines for their future development.

T1 - Non-Destructive Multi-Method Assessment of Steel Fiber Orientation in Concrete N2 - Integration of fiber reinforcement in high-performance cementitious materials has become widely applied in many fields of construction. One of the most investigated advantages of steel Fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) is the deceleration of crack growth and hence its improved sustainability. Additional benefits are associated with its structural properties, as fibers can significantly increase the ductility and the tensile strength of concrete. In some applications it is even possible to entirely replace the conventional reinforcement, leading to significant logistical and environmental benefits. Fiber reinforcement can, however, have critical disadvantages and even hinder the Performance of concrete, since it can induce an anisotropic material behavior of the mixture if the fibers are not appropriately oriented. For a safe use of SFRC in the future, reliable non-destructive testing (NDT) methods need to be identified to assess the fibers’ orientation in hardened concrete. In this study, ultrasonic material testing, electrical impedance testing, and X-ray computed tomography have been investigated for this purpose using specially produced samples with biased or random Fiber orientations. We demonstrate the capabilities of each of these NDT techniques for fiber orientation measurements and draw conclusions based on these results about the most promising areas for future research and development.

The building and construction industry is one of the largest consumers of natural resources. Consequently, there is a particular need for regulations and technologies that help to create closed material cycles. From the technological point of view, such efforts are complicated by the growing material diversity and the amount of composites contained in present and future construction and demolition waste (CDW). Nowadays, simple but proven techniques like manual sorting are mainly used. However, this practice not only poses health risks and dangers to the staff performing the work, but also relies on merely obvious, visually striking differences. Automated, sensor-based sorting of these building materials could complement or replace this practice to improve processing speed, recycling rates, sorting quality, and prevailing health conditions.

T1 - Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing of NiTi 4D Structures: Influence of Interlayer Delay N2 - Shape memory alloy structures for actuator and vibration damper applications may be manufactured using wire arc additive manufacturing (W AAM), which is one of the additive manufacturing technologies. Multilayer deposition causes heat accumulation during W AAM, which rises the preheat temperature of the previously created layer. This leads to process instabilities, which result in deviations from the desired dimensions and mechanical properties changes. During W AAM deposition of the wall structure, a systematic research is carried out by adjusting the interlayer delay from 10 to 30 s. When the delay period is increased from 10 to 30 s, the breadth decreases by 45% and the height increases by 33%. Grain refinement occurs when the interlayer delay duration is increased, resulting in better hardness, phase transformation temperature, compressive strength, and shape recovery behavior. This study shows how the interlayer delay affects the behavior of W AAM-built nickel-titanium alloy (NiTi) structures in a variety of applications.

The growing diversity of construction and demolition waste is leading to increasing difficulties in separating the individual materials. Manual sorting involves many risks and dangers for the executing staff and is merely based on obvious, visually detectable differences for separation. An automated, sensor-based sorting of these building materials could complement or replace this practice to improve processing speed, recycling rates, sorting quality, and prevailing health conditions. A joint project of partners from industry and research institutions approaches this task by investigating and testing the combination of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and visual (VIS)/ near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. Joint processing of information (data fusion) is expected to significantly improve the sorting quality of various materials like concrete, main masonry building materials, organic components, etc., and may enable the detection and separation of impurities such as SO3-containing building materials (gypsum, aerated concrete, etc.).

However, a compilation and classification are needed to fully recognize the scattered published works with its unique added values. Here, the primary use of SWT at the interface with MSE is identified using specifically created categories. This overview highlights promising opportunities for the application of SWT to MSE, such as enhancing the quality of experimental processes, enriching data with contextual information in knowledge graphs, or using ontologies to perform specific queries on semantically structured data. While interdisciplinary work between the two fields is still in its early stages, a great need is identified to facilitate access for nonexperts and develop and provide user-friendly tools and workflows. The full potential of SWT can best be achieved in the long term by the broad acceptance and active participation of the MSE community. In perspective, these technological solutions will advance the field of MSE by making data FAIR. Data-driven approaches will benefit from these data structures and their connections to catalyze knowledge generation in MSE.

In principle, the measurement of all elements of the periodic table is possible. System calibrations allow the quantification of element concentrations. In combination with scanner systems, the two-dimensional element distribution can be determined. Even rough surfaces can be measured by online adjustment of the laser focus. To detect element ingress into the concrete, typically cores are taken, cut in half, and LIBS measurements are performed on the cross-section. The high spatial resolution as well as the simultaneous multi-element analysis enables a separate evaluation of the binder-matrix and aggregates. Therefore, the element concentrations can be determined directly related to the cement paste. LIBS measurements are applicable in the laboratory, on-site and also over a distance of several meters. Common applications include the investigation of material deterioration due to the ingress of harmful ions and their interaction in porous building materials. LIBS is able to provide precise input parameters for simulation and modelling of the remaining lifetime of a structure. Besides the identification of materials, also their composition can be determined on hardened concrete, such as the type of cement or type of aggregate. This also involves the identification of environmentally hazardous elements contained in concrete. Another possible application is the detection of the composition of material flows during dismantling. Non-contact NDT for “difficult to assess” structures as an example application through safety glass or in combination with robotics and automation are also possible. This work presents the state of the art concerning LIBS investigations on concrete by showing exemplary laboratory and on-site applications.

Generally, the measurement of all elements of the periodic table is possible. In particular, light elements such as H, Li, Be, S, C, O, N and halogens can be measured. Calibration with matrix-matching standards allows the quantification of element concentrations. In combination with scanner systems, the two-dimensional element distribution can be determined. Even rough surfaces can be measured by online adjustment of the laser focus. LIBS can also be used on-site with mobile systems. Hand-held systems are available for point measurements. Common applications include the investigation of material deterioration due to the ingress of harmful ions and their interaction in porous building materials. Due to the high spatial resolution of LIBS and the consideration of the heterogeneity of concrete, the determination of precise input parameters for simulation and modelling of the remaining lifetime of a structure is possible. In addition to the identification of materials, it is also possible to assess the composition for example of hardened concrete, which involves the cement or aggregate type used. Other important fields of application are the detection of environmentally hazardous elements or the material classification for sorting heterogeneous material waste streams during dismantling. Non-contact NDT for “difficult to assess” structures as an example application through safety glass or in combination with robotics and automation are also possible.

This ex-situ approach allowed the microstructure and fracturing process of human dentin to be observed during loading. No cracks are observed up to the middle part of the irreversible deformation in the samples at least visible at 0.4μm resolution. First cracks appeared before the mechanical stress reached the compression strength. The growth of the cracks is realized by connecting the main cracks with satellite cracks that lie ahead of the main crack tip and parallel its trajectory. When under the stress load the deformation in the sample exceeds the deformation at the compression strength of dentin, an appearance of micro-cracks in front of the main cracks is observed. The micro-cracks are inclined (~60°) to the trajectory of the main cracks. The further growth of the main cracks is not realized due to the junction with the micro-cracks; we assume that the micro-cracks dissipate the energy of the main crack and suppressed its growth. These micro-cracks serve as additional stress accommodations, therefore the samples do not break apart after the compression test, as it is usually observed under bending and tension tests.

Recent studies suggested that these models could be useful in chemistry and materials science. To explore these possibilities, we organized a hackathon. This article chronicles the projects built as part of this hackathon. Participants employed LLMs for various applications, including predicting properties of molecules and materials, designing novel interfaces for tools, extracting knowledge from unstructured data, and developing new educational applications. The diverse topics and the fact that working prototypes could be generated in less than two days highlight that LLMs will profoundly impact the future of our fields. The rich collection of ideas and projects also indicates that the applications of LLMs are not limited to materials science and chemistry but offer potential benefits to a wide range of scientific disciplines.

The dataset underwent extensive curation to address feature redundancy, transcription errors, and duplicate data, yielding refined data ready for further data-driven science in the field of AAC, where this effort constitutes a novelty. The carbon footprint associated with each material used in the AAC mixes, as well as the corresponding CO2 footprint of every mix, were approximated using two published articles. Serving as a foundation for future expansions and rigorous data applications, this dataset enables the characterization of AAC properties through machine learning algorithms or as a benchmark for performance comparison among different formulations.

Innovations include diverse binders, supplementary cementitious materials, activators, concrete admixtures, and recycled aggregates. These developments target not only the enhancement of material properties but also the mitigation of the ecological and economic impacts of concrete — the most extensively used material by humankind. However, these advancements also introduce a greater variability in the composition of raw materials. The material’s behavior is significantly influenced by its nanoscale properties, which can pose challenges in accurate characterization. Consequently, there’s an increasing need for experimental tuning of formulations. This is accompanied by a more inconsistent composition of raw materials, which makes an experimental tuning of formulations more and more necessary. However, the increased complexity in composition presents a challenge in finding the ideal formulation through trial and error. Inverse design (ID) techniques offer a solution to this challenge by allowing for a comprehensive search of the entire design space to create new and improved concrete formulations. In this publication, we introduce the concept of ID and demonstrate how our open-source app “SLAMD” provides all necessary steps of the workflow to adapt it in the laboratory, lowering the application barriers. The intelligent screening process, guided by a predictive model, leads to a more efficient and effective data-driven material design process resulting in reduced carbon footprint and improved material quality while considering socio-economic factors in the materials design.

Data sets with a total of 1367 formulations of different types of alkali-activated building materials, including fly ash and blast furnace slag-based concrete and their respective compressive strength and CO2-footprint, were compiled from the literature to develop and evaluate this approach. Utilizing this data, a comprehensive computational study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of the proposed material design methodologies, simulating laboratory conditions reflective of real-world scenarios. The results indicate a significant reduction in development time and lower research costs enabled through predictions with machine learning. This work challenges common practices in data-driven materials development for building materials. Our results show, training data required for data-driven design may be much less than commonly suggested. Further, it is more important to establish a practical design framework than to choose more accurate models. This approach can be immediately implemented into practical applications and can be translated into significant advances in sustainable building materials development.

This is in contrast to the increasingly complex composite materials and structures in the mineral building materials industry.

T1 - Effect of addition of thermoplastic self-healing agent on fracture toughness of epoxy N2 - Self-healing agents have the potential to restore mechanical properties and extend service life of composite materials. Thermoplastic healing agents have been extensively investigated for this purpose in epoxy matrix composites due to their strong adhesion to epoxy and their ability to fill in microcracks. One of the most investigated thermoplastic additives for this purpose is poly(ethylene-co-methacrylic acid) (EMAA). Despite the ability of thermoplastic healing agents to restore mechanical properties, it is important to assess how the addition of thermoplastic healing agents affect properties of the original epoxy material. In this work, EMAA was added to epoxy resin and the effect of the additive on fracture toughness of epoxy was evaluated. Results indicate that although added in low concentrations, EMAA can affect fracture toughness.

However, developing alternative building materials is complex. Traditional laboratory methods are reaching their limits. Artificial intelligence, on the other hand, can give research a new dynamic. Novel materials are usually developed manually in the laboratory rather than on a computer. This makes the processes time-consuming, difficult and expensive. With the app SLAMD (Sequential Learning App for Materials Discovery), materials researchers can explore the potential of artificial intelligence to speed up materials research and easily apply AI in the lab. The app was developed by our team at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) led by Prof. Sabine Kruschwitz together with a team in the Department of Building Materials and Construction Chemistry at TU Berlin led by Prof. Dietmar Stephan. It uses material composition and characterization data to predict ideal material candidates. It can be used to optimize many material properties simultaneously and even incorporates database information such as carbon footprint, material cost or resource availability. Unlike the usual data-intensive AI methods, SLAMD optimally integrates existing knowledge and human feedback, and provides numerous decision support tools to precisely navigate complex scientific knowledge processes towards success. In this talk, we will present some case studies where we were able to find suitable advanced materials in a few months instead of several years. We will talk about the challenges we overcame and the future potential we see for this approach to developing the green materials of the future.

Automated systems are already commercially available capable of scanning surfaces with a resolution of up to 0.1 mm within a few minutes. In addition to possible applications in R&D, LIBS is also used for practical applications in building materials laboratories and even on-site. In view of ageing infrastructure facilities, a reliable assessment of the condition of concrete structures is of increasing interest. For concrete structures, the ingress of potential harmful ions is affecting the serviceability and eventually structural performance. Pitting corrosion induced by penetrating chlorides is the dominant deterioration mechanism. Condition assessment based on frequently performed chloride profiling can be useful to identify the extent and evolution of chloride ingress. This could prove to be more economical than extensive repairs, especially for important infrastructure facilities. Currently the most common procedure for determining the chloride content is wet chemical analysis with standard resolution of 10 mm. The heterogeneity is not considered. LIBS is an economical alternative for determining the chloride content at depth intervals of 1 mm or less. It provides 2D distributions of multiple elements and can locate spots with higher concentrations. The results are directly correlated to the mass of binder and can also be performed on-site with a mobile LIBS-System. The application of a LIBS-system is presented. Calibration is required for quantitative analysis. Concrete cores were drilled, sliced and analyzed to determine the 2D-distribution of harmful elements. By comparing the chloride ingress and the carbonation, the interaction of both processes can be visualized in a measurement that takes less than 10 minutes for a 50 mm x 100 mm drill core. A leaflet on the use of LIBS for the chloride ingress assessment has been completed.

Whilst concrete is prevailing in the existing building stock, new types of concrete composites are increasingly used to improve the sustainability and overall structural performance of built assets. The addition of short dispersed fibres is a material technology with several applications. This paper addresses the synergy of fastening elements, introducing localised loads in concrete substrates, and of fibres, particularly in terms of the fibre orientation and density in the load application area, which is a significant quality aspect. The possibility to forecast this synergy based on non‐destructive or minimally invasive testing methods is an efficient tool to increase confidence in the design load‐bearing performance of the anchorages. Initially, previous literature and own investigations on such techniques are presented. Furthermore, a methodology is presented on associating such information to predict a single anchor's resistance on the basis of sophisticated non‐linear analyses and testing with engineered fibres alignments.

T1 - Evaluation of single-sided nuclear magnetic resonance technology for usage in geosciences N2 - Because of its mobility and ability to investigate exposed surfaces, single-sided (SiS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology enables new application fields in geosciences. To test and assess its corresponding potential, we compare longitudinal (T1) and transverse (T2) data measured by SiS NMR with those of conventional geoscientific laboratory NMR. We use reference sandstone samples covering a broad range of pore sizes. Our study demonstrates that the lower signal-to-noise ratio of SiS NMR data generally tends to slightly overestimated widths of relaxation time distributions and consequently pore size distributions. While SiS and conventional NMR produce very similar T1 relaxation data, unbiased SiS NMR results for T2 measurements can only be expected for fine material, i.e. clayey or silty sediments and soils with main relaxation times below 0.05s. This limit is given by the diffusion relaxation rate due to the gradient in the primary magnetic field associated with the SiS NMR. Above that limit, i.e. for coarse material, the relaxation data is strongly attenuated. If considering the diffusion relaxation time of 0.2 s in the numerical data inversion process, the information content >0.2s is blurred over a range larger than that of conventional NMR. However, our results show that principle range and magnitudes of the relaxation time distributions are reconstructed to some extent. Regarding these findings, SiS NMR can be helpful to solve geoscientific issues, e.g. to assess the hydro-mechanical properties of the walls of underground facilities or to provide local soil moisture data sets for calibrating indirect remote techniques on the regional scale. The greatest opportunity provided by the SiS NMR technology is the acquisition of profile relaxation data for rocks with significant bedding structures at the µm scale. With this unique feature, SiS NMR can support the understanding and modeling of hydraulic and diffusional anisotropy behavior of sedimentary rocks.

Teil des Projektes ist die Entwicklung eines zur Lochkameramethode äquivalenten Messverfahrens für kleine Brennflecke. ASTM E 1165-20, Annex A, beschreibt die Bestimmung von Brennfleckgrößen aus Kantenprofilen von Lochaufnahmen für Röntgenröhren mit Brennflecken > 50 μm. Es wurde bereits vorgeschlagen über die Analyse der richtungsabhängigen Kantenunschärfe einer Lochblende und anschließender CT-Rekonstruktion die Intensitätsverteilung des Brennflecks äquivalent zur Lochkameraaufnahme zu berechnen. Die Lochkameramethode, wie in EN 12543-2 und ASTM E 1165-20 beschrieben, ist im unteren Größenbereich für Mikrofokusröhren nicht geeignet, da Pinholes < 10 μm schwer zu fertigen sind und lange Belichtungszeiten erwartet werden. Mit Hilfe exakt gefertigter Lochblenden sowie strukturierter Targets mit konvergierenden Strukturen wird der Bereich mit der Single-Shot-CT-Methode auf die Messung von Mikrofokusröhren, alternativ zur Vermessung von Kanten oder Strichgruppenkörpern, erweitert. Die rekonstruierten Brennfleckformen werden mit Kantenund Lochkameraaufnahmen quantitativ verglichen, um die Messgenauigkeit zu bewerten.

Techniques such as Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) and Micro X‑ray Fluorescence (µXRF) can provide a 2D representation of chloride ingress. However, obtaining quantitative data from such techniques is not a trivial task. In this study, we focus on factors such as sample preparation, measurement settings, calibration strategy, and post-processing of results which directly affect the outcome of the experiments but are rarely discussed in the literature.

Diese Werkzeuge, insbesondere die Zerstörungsfreie Prüfung (ZfP), spielen eine zentrale Rolle bei der Förderung der Zirkularität in der Baubranche. Die ZfP ermöglicht es, die Qualität und Eignung von Baumaterialien präzise zu bestimmen, ohne diese zu beschädigen. Dies ist entscheidend für die Wiederverwendung und das Recycling von Baustoffen und trägt wesentlich zur Reduzierung des Bauabfalls bei. Durch die Integration dieser Technologie in die Planungs- und Entwurfsphase können Architekten und Ingenieure aktiv einen nachhaltigeren Bauprozess fördern. REINCARNATE verbindet diese Diagnosemethoden mit digitalen Innovationen wie der Technologie des digitalen Zwillings und KI-gesteuerten Lösungen. Diese Kombination ermöglicht eine noch genauere und effizientere Bewertung und Nutzung von Baustoffen, was die Wiederverwendbarkeit und das Recycling verbessert. Im Rahmen des Projekts werden elf Demonstrationsprojekte in ganz Europa umgesetzt, die die praktische Anwendung dieser Technologien zeigen. Diese Projekte demonstrieren, wie ZfP und digitale Werkzeuge zusammenwirken, um Materialien, die traditionell als Abfall angesehen werden, in wertvolle Ressourcen umzuwandeln. Das Ziel von REINCARNATE ist eine 80-prozentige Verringerung der Bauabfälle und eine 70-prozentige Reduzierung des CO2-Fußabdrucks. Mit diesem Beitrag demonstrieren wir eine klare, umsetzbare Anleitung für die Bauindustrie, wie Innovationen in die Praxis umgesetzt werden können. Wir präsentieren greifbare Strategien zur Implementierung nachhaltiger, zirkulärer Praktiken im Bauwesen und markiert einen Wendepunkt in Richtung einer nachhaltigeren Bauindustrie.

The heart of REINCARNATE is the Circular Potential Information Model (CP-IM), a digital platform designed to assess and enhance the recyclability of construction materials, construction products, and buildings. The CP-IM integrates advanced technologies such as digital twins, AI, and robotics to revolutionize the handling of construction waste, turning it into valuable resources and cutting the environmental footprint of the sector. Among its features are digital tracing, material durability predictions, and CO2 reduction materials design. These are showcased in eleven European demonstration projects, highlighting the practical benefits of these technologies in reducing construction waste and CO2 emissions by up to 80% and 70% respectively. REINCARNATE aims to marry innovation with real-world application, providing the construction industry with strategies for sustainable and circular practices.

Traditional methods for estimating the cement content face limitations. These include the need for comprehensive chemical and solubility knowledge, extensive sample preparation, and their time-consuming and destructive nature. This study investigates the application of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) as an alternative method. It involves probing concrete samples with high spatial resolution and analyzing the resultant spectra. The methodology is first tested on mesoscale concrete models to assess limitations and inherent errors. Subsequently, the methodology is applied to actual concrete samples with varying cement content and aggregate size distributions. The results demonstrate a promising accuracy, with an average relative error of approximately 8%. This paper offers a comprehensive evaluation of the method's advantages, limitations, and factors influencing its practical applicability in field conditions.
