The time- and costintensive procedure constitutes an additional burden for building insurances that already list piped water damage as their largest item. With its high sensitivity for water, a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) could provide important support to approach this problem in a non-destructive way. In this research, we study the influence of moisture damage on GPR signals at different floor constructions. For this purpose, a modular specimen with interchangeable layers is developed to vary the screed and insulation material, as well as the respective layer thickness. The obtained data set is then used to investigate suitable signal features to classify three scenarios: dry, damaged insulation, and damaged screed. It was found that analyzing statistical distributions of A-scan features inside one B-scan allows for accurate classification on unknown floor constructions. Combining the features with multivariate data analysis and machine learning was the key to achieve satisfying results. The developed method provides a basis for upcoming validations on real damage cases.

Verfahren zur Ermittlung der Porosität stellen die Quecksilberporosimetrie (MIP), das Prinzip der Tauchwägung nach Archimedes (triple weighing method, TWM) und die Nuklear Magnetische Resonanz (NMR) dar. Das Hauptziel dieser Arbeit ist der Vergleich der drei Methoden für die Porositätsbestimmung. Als Untersuchungsmaterial wurde Sandstein gewählt. Als Baustoff wird Sandstein trotz einer teilweise geringen Festigkeit, aber aufgrund seiner Farbvielfalt häufig für Kulturbauten, Gehwegmaterial und Fassaden eingesetzt. Sandsteine weisen zudem meist eine hohe effektive Porosität (bis zu ca. 30 %) und teilweise breite Porengrößenspektren auf, wodurch Feuchte- und Ioneneinträge begünstigt werden und zu z. B. langfristigen Verfärbungen an Sandsteinfassaden führen können. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit werden die Porositäten von 10 verschiedenen Sandsteinen aus Deutschland und Tschechien bestimmt. Für die Untersuchungen mittels TWM und NMR wurden für jede Sandsteinart zwei zylinderförmige Proben unter Unterdruck mit Leitungswasser aufgesättigt. Beim Vergleich der Verfahren liegt der Fokus insbesondere auf NMR und der verwendeten Gerätetechnik, die mit einer minimalen Echozeit von 50 µs ein Wasserstoffsignal in Sandsteinen aus bis zu ca. 2 nm kleine Poren erfassen kann. Darüber hinaus wird das Auflösungsvermögen von MIP und NMR bezüglich der Poren- bzw. Poreneingangsgrößen diskutiert. Für den Vergleich von NMR und MIP werden an ausgewählten Sandsteinproben ebenfalls die zusätzlich ermittelten PSD in Korrelation zueinander gebracht. Erste Ergebnisse zeigen eine gute Korrelation von NMR- und TWM-Daten, aber teilweise starke Abweichungen zu den mit MIP bestimmten Porositäten. Ergebnisse zu den PSD zeigen teilweise nahezu identische Kurvenverläufe. Jedoch ist die Abschätzung des Umrechnungsfaktors für die NMR-Daten ohne Hinzuziehen von zusätzlichen Referenzverfahren wie Röntgen-Computer-Tomographie oder Spektral Induzierte Polarisation teilweise sehr schwierig.

Auch wenn zur qualitativen Lokalisierung möglicher Schad- und Risikostellen bereits zahlreiche zerstörungsfreie Verfahren in der Praxis Anwendung finden, so besteht beispielweise bei der Porenraumcharakterisierung und dem Verständnis von Feuchtetransportmechanismen weiterhin Forschungsbedarf. Eine besondere Herausforderung stellt in diesem Zusammenhang die (ortsaufgelöste) Erfassung und Quantifizierung von Feuchteverteilungen bei Teilsättigung dar. Mittels 1H-NMR lassen sich der Wassergehalt sowie die Relaxationszeiten der Wasserstoffprotonen in Abhängigkeit von ihrer Bindungsart und der Porenumgebung messen. In vollgesättigten porösen Baustoffen kann somit das NMR-Signal als Porengrößenverteilung interpretiert werden. Da aber in der Praxis nur selten bis nie vollgesättigte Zustände vorliegen, befasst sich eine laufende Forschungsarbeit mit dem Verständnis der NMR-Signale teilgesättigter Porensysteme, die teilweise multimodale Porengrößenverteilungen aufweisen. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit werden insgesamt 19 Sandsteine aus Deutschland, Tschechien und Italien sowohl im voll- als auch im teilgesättigten Zustand mit NMR untersucht. Definierte teilgesättigte Zustände werden durch Aufsättigen der Proben in Exsikkatoren mit verschiedenen relativen Luftfeuchten (z. B. 33 %, 75 %, 96%) erzeugt. Die Regulierung der Luftfeuchten erfolgt mit Hilfe von gesättigten Salzlösungen. Als Ergebnis wird die Veränderung der Signalamplitude und der T2-Relaxationszeitenverteilungen in Abhängigkeit von dem Feuchtezustand näher betrachtet. Des Weiteren erfolgt die Berechnung des Flüssigwasseranteils bzw. der adsorbierten Wasserfilmdicke einzelner Poren aus der mit Quecksilberporosimetrie bestimmten Porengrößenverteilung und der Annahme einer Porengeometrie (z.B. Schlitz-, Zylinderpore, etc.). Am Ende dieser Arbeit soll der Zusammenhang des NMR-Signals (Amplitude und Relaxationszeiten) mit dem Porensättigungsgrad in einem Porensystem mit multimodaler Porengrößenverteilung bei Teilsättigung aufgezeigt werden.

To address this, there’s a need to strategically reduce clinker content in cement. However, these new formulations must meet the same requirements as the original ones, so their durability must be investigated. In this study, we determined material parameters that enable an assessment of moisture and ion transport. These methods offer advantages over conventional approaches, including non-destructiveness, reduced measurement time, simplified setup, enhanced resolution, and improvement of detection limits. Our investigation utilizes NDT techniques, using 1H NMR relaxometry for moisture transport and LIBS for ion transport in various clinker-reduced materials. The NMR tomograph provides spatial insights into internal moisture transport, correlated with weight change assessments for the capillary transport coefficient. Additionally, based on NMR relaxometry data the chloride diffusion coefficient is estimated. Chloride migration tests are performed, and results are evaluated using LIBS and indicator tests for the chloride migration coefficient. Our findings highlight NMR relaxometry and LIBS advantages over conventional methods, showcasing superior spatial resolution, non-destructiveness, and, in some cases, expedited results with independence from the formulation of the cement matrix. Thus, these new methods can be used to test the durability of new, more heterogeneous cementbased building.

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.

Traditional tests for carbonation resistance are lengthy, but with the construction industry aiming for sustainable production, finding a balance between carbonation resistance and CO2 footprint is crucial. Our research employs two innovative methods: 1.

The results of our study are compelling, demonstrating that materials can be precisely tailored to meet specific requirements with minimal data points. This marks a significant stride in the concrete industry, indicating thatNMR-based, lowfidelity surrogate characterizations, combined with a focused, data-driven design approach, can substantially accelerate the development of durable, sustainable concrete mixtures.

Besides mobile NMR, laboratory devices such as the NMR core-analyzing tomograph are used. As their magnetic field is more homogeneous, they enable measurements with higher signal-to-noise ratios (SNR), but with limited sample sizes. The tomograph presented here (8.9 MHz) was constructed for a maximum sample diameter of 70 mm and length of up to 1 m. The resolution, the echo time (min. 50 µs), the SNR and the measurement type can be adjusted by means of exchangable coils. The tomograph enables measurements along the complete sensitive length, slice-selective and even 2- or 3-dimensional measurements. A movable sample lifting system thereby allows a precise positioning of the sample.

Especially the subject of partial saturation requires further research since it is more likely to occur than full saturation of the material. In fact, partial saturation in porous media is even more complicated because both fully and partly saturated pores (i.e. pores in which the surfaces are covered with thin water layers) are present. As the non-destructive method nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) enables the measurement and quantification of relative low moisture contents, it is suitable for the investigation of partly saturated porous building materials. Nevertheless, the differentiation between partly and fully saturated pores is still a challenge. Therefore, in this study, we investigate two sandstones types (Bozanov and Schönbrunner sandstone) at various defined saturation states by using NMR. Furthermore, we measure the relative humidities within the samples and compute the water layer thicknesses (WLT) along the pore walls of all pore sizes to calculate the corresponding degree of pore saturation. To finally assign the NMR signals to pore sizes and to differentiate between partly and fully saturated pores, the water content distribution obtained from the WLT calculation is used for calibration of the relaxation-time distribution. In this extended abstract, selected results only for Schönbrunner sandstone are presented.

Neutronensonden helfen hier bereits bei der horizontalen Eingrenzung eines Feuchteschadens, wobei die vertikale Unterscheidung betroffener Schichten nur durch die zerstörende Entnahme von Bohrkernen vorgenommen werden kann. Der parallele Einsatz des Radarverfahrens soll hier mit seiner hohen Sensitivität für Wasser künftig zu einem erhöhten Informationsgehalt beitragen und eine kostengünstigere Schadensdiagnose und Planung der Reparaturmaßnahmen ermöglichen. In einem laufenden Forschungsvorhaben werden in systematischen Laborstudien gängige Schadensfälle an häufig anzutreffenden Fußbodenaufbauten simuliert und deren Einfluss auf das Radarverfahren untersucht. Die Bewertung der Schadensträchtigkeit zugeführter Wassermengen erfolgt mithilfe von Luftfeuchtesensoren, welche in der Dämmebene platziert sind. Beim Aufbau der Fußbodenstrukturen kommen Zement- und Anhydritestriche, sowie die Dämmmaterialen Styropor, Styrodur, Glaswolle und Perlite-Schüttung mit variierenden Schichtdicken zum Einsatz. Die Robustheit der zu entwickelnden Messmethode gegenüber derartig verschiedenen und in der Praxis häufig unbekannten Schichtstrukturen stellt eine besondere Herausforderung dar und soll durch den Einsatz multivariater Datenauswertung erhöht werden. Diesbezüglich empfehlen bisherige Ergebnisse die Betrachtung der örtlichen Verteilungen qualitativer Signalmerkmale wie Amplituden, Laufzeiten und Frequenzen im Radargramm (B-Scan).

DLW produces full three-dimensional (3D) polymer structures on the microscale with resolutions below 100 nm. The fabricated structures can be analysed by XCT or X-ray microscopy (XRM), which incorporates additional X-ray lenses, in three dimensions down to a minimal basic spatial resolution of about 500 nm or 50 nm, respectively. In this work, two different DLW structures are analysed via XCT. Internal defects are detected and analysed for the purpose of quality control. Defects and structures with sizes down to 1.5 µm are successfully analysed. A 3D reconstruction and internal, hidden features of the fabricated structures are shown and discussed. In a first-of-its-kind study, we demonstrate the detectability of a single-voxel line inside a fabricated structure that would not be detectable with SEM or light microscopy. Furthermore, the direct fabrication on a PET substrate is shown to overcome the high X-ray absorbance of commonly used glass substrates. Attenuation spectra of SZ2080 and glass substrates are compared to a fabrication route direct on a 170 µm PET foil. The practical aspects of XCT measurements for DLW structures on different substrates will be discussed.

N2 - Resistance to carbonation and chloride migration are critical durability properties in cementitious construction materials. The ingress of CO2 and chlorides can lead to concrete deterioration and reinforcement corrosion, underscoring the importance of ensuring high resistance to these durability-reducing factors. Traditional methods, such as determinating the carbonation coefficient using standard procedures, are time-consuming and resource-intensive. These tests typically require 42 days of preconditioning, followed by 70 days before the final results can be determined using a phenolphthalein test, for a total duration of 112 days. In addition, some test chambers can only accommodate four samples at a time. In this study, we investigate whether 1H NMR relaxometry can effectively predict not only the carbonation resistance, KAC,3%, but also the chloride migration coefficient, DRCM, and the compressive strength, fc, of concrete, providing a method that could potentially streamline and accelerate the material development process by directing us quickly to potentially well-suited formulations. We performed measurements on non-carbonated fully saturated concrete and mortar samples at 28, 56, and 92 days using the NMR tomograph at BAM (8.9 MHz). Notably, the NMR measurements taken at 28 days showed no significant differences, suggesting that this timeframe is sufficient for meaningful results. The samples analyzed were drill cores, each 70 mm in diameter and approximately 120 mm in height. The NMR features we focused on included the initial amplitude E0, the x and y values of the dominant T2 relaxation time, and the logarithmic mean of the T2 relaxation time distribution. Another key feature was the surface relaxivity, which was determined by comparing the NMR curves with results from mercury intrusion porosimetry. We examined the correlation of these NMR features with the aforementioned durability properties, which were determined in a laboratory on sister samples using standard procedures. No chloride migration tests were performed on the mortar samples, and the carbonation procedure was carried out unter atmospheric conditions. The preliminary results show that the correlation factors for the NMR features with the carbonation coefficients of concrete were particularly remarkable. The strongest correlations were observed for the dominant relaxation time and the logarithmic mean, with values approaching 1. The preliminary results also indicate that there are high correlations between the compressive strength and amplitude-related features. In contrast, no strong correlations are observed for the DRCM. Although the results related to the mortar samples are still being analyzed, these initial correlations suggest that 1H NMR relaxometry could be a valuable tool for early assessment of material properties. Furthermore, the rapid and non-destructive nature of NMR measurements, requiring only a few minutes per sample, suggests that this technique has the potential to significantly accelerate the process of evaluating durability properties in cementitious materials. This capability also paves the way for the use of NMR features as input for AI-driven predictive models.

A1 - Kruschwitz, Sabine T1 - Round-robin test of SIP laboratory measurements using electrical test networks N2 - This study presents the results of an interlaboratory test designed to evaluate the accuracy of spectral induced polarization (SIP) measurements using controlled electrical test networks. The study, conducted in Germany since 2006, involved 12 research institutes, six different impedance measurement devices and four types of electrical test networks specifically designed to evaluate phase shift errors in SIP measurements. The test networks, with impedances ranging from 100 to 150 kΩ, represent high-impedance samples with different phase characteristics, and pose the measurement challenges typical of such samples, including high contact impedances and parasitic capacitances. Four key findings emerged from the study: (1) Impedance measurements across all devices showed deviations within 1 per cent over a wide frequency range (0.001–1000 Hz); (2) phase errors remained below 1 mrad up to 100 Hz for most devices, but increased at higher frequencies due to parasitic capacitances and electromagnetic coupling effects; (3) lab-specific instruments have lower phase errors than field instruments when used in a laboratory environment, primarily due to the effects of long cables and too low input impedances of the field instruments; and (4) short cables and driven shielding technology effectively minimized parasitic capacitance and improved measurement accuracy. The study highlights the usefulness of test networks in assessing the accuracy of SIP measurements and raises awareness of the various factors influencing the quality of SIP data.

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

T1 - Zerstörungsfreie Lokalisierung von Flüssigwasser in Fußböden durch Kombination von Radar und Neutronensonde N2 - Das Neutronensondenverfahren wird bereits seit vielen Jahren erfolgreich zur Eingrenzung und Quantifizierung auftretender Feuchteschäden an Fußböden eingesetzt. Hierzu bedarf es jedoch einer Vielzahl zerstörender Sondierungsbohrungen, welche die gewonnenen Messdaten kalibrieren und eine Tiefenzuordnung des Flüssigwassers zulassen. Dadurch entsteht ein zeitlicher und finanzieller Aufwand, der durch den parallelen Einsatz des elektromagnetischen Radarverfahrens vermieden werden könnte. Mit seiner hohen Sensitivität für Wasser bietet diese Messmethode die Möglichkeit der vertikalen Lokalisierung von Feuchte, was zu einer automatisierten Klassifizierung typischer Schadensfälle beitragen soll. In einem laufenden Forschungsvorhaben werden in systematischen Laborstudien gängige Schadensfälle an häufig anzutreffenden Fußbodenaufbauten simuliert und deren Einfluss auf die genannten Verfahren untersucht. Hierbei kommen Zement- und Anhydritestriche, sowie unterschiedliche Dämmmaterialen mit variierenden Schichtdicken zum Einsatz. Wesentlicher Bestandteil der Auswertung ist die Extraktion signifikanter Signalmerkmale des Radarverfahrens, welche Rückschlüsse auf den Schadensfall und ggf. die Wassermenge zulassen. Weiterführend sollen die Kombinationsmöglichkeiten der verschiedenen Signalmerkmale und der Neutronensondendaten durch Methoden der multivariaten Datenauswertung und des maschinellen Lernens geprüft werden. Die Unabhängigkeit gegenüber wechselnden Schichtdicken und Materialien steht hierbei besonders im Fokus und soll anhand der erzielten Ergebnisse evaluiert werden. T2 - 10.

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.

The damage structures of RC plates loaded by an impact were investigated, applying X-ray planar tomogra-phy and finite element method (FEM). Planar tomography allows getting three-dimensional information of the RC elements and the damage including crack, spalling and scabbing. The FEM model validated on the tomography data justifies the appli-cation for further predictions of the damage description. In this study, we investigated concrete plates of three different thick-ness subjected to impacts at different low- and medium-velocity, whereby the used impactor had a flat tip, which resulted in small penetrations on the front side and scabbing on the rear side. In order to quantify the damage, the damage volume and its distribution through the plate were computed and the correlations between degree of damage and impact velocity were found out.

In the event of damage, the accurate determination and localization of water ingress is essential to plan for and perform efficient renovations. Neutron probes are already applied successfully on building floors to localize the source of damage and other affected areas. However, additional information about the depth of moisture penetration can only be obtained by the destructive extraction of drilling cores, which is a time- and cost-intensive procedure. With its high sensitivity to water and fast measurement procedure, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) can serve as a suitable extension to the neutron probe, enabling more precise characterization of common forms of moisture damage. In this research project, we study the influence of common types of moisture damage in differing floor constructions using GPR and a neutron probe. A measurement setup with interchangeable layers is used to vary the screed material (cement or anhydrite) and insulation material (Styrofoam, Styrodur, glass wool, perlite), as well as the respective layer thickness. Every configuration is measured for the following main cases: 1) dry state; 2) with a damaged insulation layer and 3) a damaged screed layer. The evaluation is focused on the extraction of distinctive signal features for GPR, which can be used to classify the underlying case of damage. Furthermore, possible combinations of these features are investigated using multivariate data analysis and machine learning in order to evaluate the influence of different floor constructions. To validate the developed methods, practical measurements on real damage cases in Germany are carried out and compared to reference data obtained from drilling cores.
