TY - CONF A1 - Klewe, Tim T1 - LIBS ConSort: Development of a sensor-based sorting method for constuction and demolition waste N2 - Closed material cycles and unmixed material fractions are required to achieve high recovery and recycling rates in the building industry. In construction and demolition waste (CDW) recycling, the preference to date has been to apply simple but proven techniques to process large quantities of construction rubble in a short time. This is in contrast to the increasingly complex composite materials and structures in the mineral building materials industry. 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) with near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and visual imaging. 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-cotaining building materials (gypsum, aerated concrete, etc.) Focusing on Berlin as an example, the entire value chain will be analyzed to minimize economic / technological barriers and obstacles at the cluster level and to sustainably increase recovery and recycling rates. We present current advances and results about the test stand development combining LIBS with NIR spectroscopy and visual imaging. In the future, this laboratory prototype will serve as a fully automated measurement setup to allow real-time classification of CDW on a conveyor belt. T2 - 21.

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.

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. Außerdem werden CNR und Messzeit bestimmt, um die Wirtschaftlichkeit der Verfahren zu bewerten.

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.

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.

Effective assessment and maintenance require a detailed understanding of the ingress of harmful species, such as chlorides or sulfates. Traditional analysis methods, like wet chemical analysis of drill dust or ground core samples, often require homogenization leading to the loss of crucial spatial information in sub-millimeter regions such as localized high concentrations of elements, e.g. in cracks. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) offers a cutting-edge solution, providing rapid, multi-element analysis with high spatial resolution from micrometer to millimeter scales. LIBS is capable of detecting both light and heavy elements, making it a powerful tool for detailed concrete analysis. Despite its clear advantages, LIBS is not commonly used in civil engineering. This presentation will showcase practical examples demonstrating the effectiveness and advantages of LIBS in concrete analysis, highlighting real-world applications provided by members of the “LIBS” subcommittee of the technical committee “Civil-Engineering” of the German Society for Non-Destructive Testing (DGZfP). Key examples will be discussed, including measurements from car parks or bridges, alongside an introduction to the newly released DGZfP leaflet B14 providing guidelines for the quantitative determination of chlorine content in concrete by LIBS. Furthermore, prospective applications of LIBS including material identification and classification for concrete recycling, and other emerging uses in civil engineering, will also be presented, showcasing the versatility and future potential of this technology.

This paper introduces an innovative AI-driven adaptive sampling (AS) technique integrated with Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) to optimize this process. AS focuses on critical data points, reducing the amount of data needed for precise assessments—evidenced by our method requiring on average only 7 samples for Logistic Regression and 8 for Random Forest, contrasted with 29 for traditional sampling. By reducing the necessity for extensive data collection, our method not only streamlines the assessment process but also significantly contributes to the sustainability goals of the circular economy. These goals include resource efficiency, waste reduction, and material reuse. Efficient condition assessments promote infrastructure longevity, reducing the need for new materials and the associated environmental impact. The circular economy aims to create a sustainable system where resources are reused, and waste is minimized. This is achieved by extending the lifecycle of materials, reducing the environmental footprint, and promoting recycling and reuse. Longevity directly contributes to the circular economy by maximizing the utility and lifespan of existing materials and structures. Longer-lasting infrastructure means fewer resources are needed for repairs or replacements, leading to reduced material consumption and waste generation. This aligns with the circular economy's principles of sustainability and resource efficiency. This research not only advances the field of structural health monitoring but also aligns with the broader objective of enhancing sustainable construction practices within the circular economy framework.

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.

Our methodology leverages large language models (LLMs) to extract and semantically relate concepts from diverse sources. We developed material-specific agents for concrete, wood, steel, and bricks, each equipped with a curated glossary of terms to ensure domain accuracy. These agents process PDF documents, extracting relevant information on deterioration mechanisms, physical changes, and applicable NDT methods. The extracted data is then normalized, validated, and structured into a Neo4j graph database, forming a comprehensive KG. Our results demonstrate the system’s ability to automatically discover and represent intricate relationships between materials, deterioration mechanisms, physical changes, and NDT techniques. The generated KG successfully captures complex interactions, such as the applicability of specific NDT methods to various materials under different deterioration conditions. This work not only highlights the potential of KGs in enhancing knowledge discovery and representation in NDT research but also provides a scalable framework for extending this approach to other scientific domains.

Common methods are the wet chemical analysis of drill dust or powder from ground drill core segments. However, due to the homogenization process, this approach often fails to detect locally elevated chloride levels. A state-of-the-art alternative method is laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), which offers rapid analysis and the possibility of detecting several chemical elements simultaneously. This method is particularly characterized by its ability to measure light elements such as hydrogen, carbon or sodium. The spatial resolution of LIBS is usually 0.25 mm but can be increased to 0.1 mm or less if required. BARG, is the first commercial building materials laboratory in Germany to use LIBS in practice. The current LIBS setup enables rapid, spatial quantification of the chlorine content and at the same time the creation of element maps that visually represent the distribution of essential elements in the concrete. This method can be used to localize areas of elevated chlorine content, particularly in cracks or near reinforcing bars. With the ability to analyze several elements simultaneously, LIBS can determine measurement points associated with the cement phase and, taking into account the water content, relate the measured contents directly to the cement mass. The detailed ingress profiles determined by LIBS provide essential data for the estimation of accurate chlorine diffusion coefficients, which are crucial for probabilistic lifetime predictions. The estimation of the carbon distribution enables the localization of carbonated regions and their effect on the chloride distribution. The possibility of quantitatively determining the sulfur distribution also indicates areas that are affected by a possible sulfate attack.

T1 - SeMatS 2024 - Proceedings of the first international workshop on semantic materials science: Harnessing the power of semantic web technologies in materials science N2 - Advanced technological solutions play a vital role in leveraging the potential of data and driving innovative research. However, the compatibility issues arising from different formats and structures of scientific data hinder progress in data generation, organization, storage, and sharing. To address these challenges, interoperability and efficient data access and analysis automation are crucial. The Semantic Web emerges as a powerful solution to overcome these obstacles. Expanding and adapting Semantic Web technologies to the Materials Science domain can significantly enhance research outcomes by enabling the uniform consideration, integration, and analysis of heterogeneous data from diverse sources and formats. Implementing these technologies can improve the traceability and reproducibility of scientific procedures, experiments, and simulations. It also facilitates automatable data management solutions and empowers researchers to answer scientific inquiries using semantic queries. Moreover, machine learning methods can benefit from enhanced data completeness and coherence. The primary objective of this workshop was to gather professionals in Semantic Web and in Materials Science and Engineering to show the recent advances in the use of Semantic Web technologies for Materials Science and Engineering, as well as provide a platform for discussing issues, finding collaboration opportunities and developing a community for this interdisciplinary field.

For building floors, the layered structure poses a challenging obstacle for most moisture measurement methods. But especially here, layer-specific information on the depth of the water is crucial for efficient and effective repairs. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) shows the potential to generate such depth information. Therefore, the present work investigates the suitability of GPR in combination with machine learning methods for the automated classification of the typical deterioration cases (i) dry, (ii) wet insulation, and (iii) wet screed. First, a literature review was conducted to identify the most common methods for detecting moisture in building materials using GPR. Here, it especially became clear that all publications only investigated individual time-, amplitude- or frequency features separately, without combining them. This was seen as a potential aspect for innovation, as the multivariate application of several signal features can help to overcome individual weaknesses and limitations. Preliminary investigations carried out on drying screed samples confirmed the profitable use of multivariate evaluations. In addition to the general suitability and dependencies of various features, first limitations due to possible interference between the direct wave and the reflection wave could be identified. This is particularly evident with thin or dry materials, for which the two-way travel times of the reflected radar signals become shorter. An extensive laboratory experiment was carried out, for which a modular test specimen was designed to enable the variation of the material type and thickness of screed and insulation, as well as the simulation of moisture deteriorations. The data collected revealed clear differences between dry and deteriored structures within measured B-scans. These deviations were to be detected with the newly introduced B-scan features, which evaluate the statistical deviation of A-scan features within a survey line. In this way, deteriorations to unknown floor structures are recognized, regardless of the material parameters present. In a subsequent training and cross-validation process of different classifiers, accuracies of over 88 \% of the 504 recorded measurements (252 different experimental setups) were achieved. For that, the combination of amplitude and frequency features, which covered all relevant reflections of the radar signals, was particularly beneficial. Furthermore, the data set showed only small differences between dry floors and deteriored screeds for the B-scan features, which could be attributed to a homogeneous distribution of the added water in the screeds. The successfully separation of these similar feature distributions raised the suspicion of overfitting, which was examined in more detail by means of a validation with on-site data. For this purpose, investigations were carried out at five different locations in Germany, using the identical measurement method like in the laboratory. By extracting drilling cores, it was possible to determine the deterioration case for each measurement point and thus generate a corresponding reference. However, numerous data had to be sorted out before classification, since disturbances due to underfloor heating, screed reinforcements, steel beams or missing insulation prevented comparability with the laboratory experiments. Validation of the remaining data (72 B-scans) achieved only low accuracy with 53 \% correctly classified deterioration cases. Here, the previously suspected overfitting of the small decision boundary between dry setups and deteriored screeds within the laboratory proved to be a problem. The generally larger deviations within (also dry) on-site B-scans were thus frequently misclassified as screed deterioration. In addition, there were sometimes strongly varying layer thicknesses or changing cases of deterioration within a survey line, which caused additional errors due to the local limitation of the drilling core reference. Nevertheless, individual on-site examples also showed the promising potential of the applied signal features and the GPR method in general, which partly allowed a profound interpretation of the measurements. However, this interpretation still requires the experience of trained personnel and could not be automated using machine learning with the available database. Nevertheless, such experience and knowledge can be enriched by the findings of this work, which provide the basis for further research. Future work should aim at building an open GPR data base of on-site moisture measurements on floors to provide a meaningful basis for applying machine learning. Here, referencing is a crucial point, whose limitations with respect to the moisture present and its distribution can easily reduce the potential of such efforts. The combination of several reference methods might help to overcome such limitations. Similarly, a focus on monitoring approaches can also help to reduce numerous unknown variables in moisture measurements and increase confidence in the detection of different deterioration cases.

T1 - An Ontology-Based Approach to Enable Data-Driven Research in the Field of NDT in Civil Engineering N2 - Although measurement data from the civil engineering sector are an important basis for scientific analyses in the field of non-destructive testing (NDT), there is still no uniform representation of these data. An analysis of data sets across different test objects or test types is therefore associated with a high manual effort. Ontologies and the semantic web are technologies already used in numerous intelligent systems such as material cyberinfrastructures or research databases. This contribution demonstrates the application of these technologies to the case of the 1H nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry, which is commonly used to characterize water content and porosity distri-bution in solids. The methodology implemented for this purpose was developed specifically to be applied to materials science (MS) tests. The aim of this paper is to analyze such a methodology from the perspective of data interoperability using ontologies. Three benefits are expected from this ap-proach to the study of the implementation of interoperability in the NDT domain: First, expanding knowledge of how the intrinsic characteristics of the NDT domain determine the application of semantic technologies. Second, to determine which aspects of such an implementation can be improved and in what ways. Finally, the baselines of future research in the field of data integration for NDT are drawn.

Für die Ermittlung der Porengrößenverteilung muss die gemessene T2-Relaxationszeitenverteilung mit dem Parameter Oberflächenrelaxivität (OR) umgerechnet werden. Ist dieser Parameter für das zu untersuchende Medium unbekannt, kann dieser mithilfe von Vergleichsverfahren abgeschätzt werden. Dabei kommen z. B. Gassorption, Quecksilberporosimetrie (MIP), Dünnschliff-Mikroskopie oder µ-Computer-Tomographie (µ-CT) zum Einsatz. Da die verschiedenen Verfahren allerdings unterschiedliche Auflösungsgrenzen aufweisen und auf verschiedenen physikalischen Prinzipien beruhen, können die ermittelten ORs für ein Medium stark variieren. Um ein besseres Verständnis für die OR und die Einflüsse der Vergleichsverfahren zu bekommen, wurden 19 verschiedene Sandsteintypen untersucht. Die OR wurde zum einen basierend auf der spezifischen inneren Oberfläche aus der dynamischen Dampfsorption (DVS) und der Gassorption abgeleitet. Zum anderen wurden die Relaxationszeitenverteilungen durch manuelles Anpassen der OR derart in Porengrößenverteilungen umgerechnet, sodass es eine Übereinstimmung mit den Porengrößenverteilungen aus MIP und/oder µ-CT gibt. Die Umrechnung von Relaxationszeitverteilungen in eine Porengrößenverteilung berücksichtigt dabei sowohl fast- als auch slow-diffusion. Insgesamt ergab sich für die Sandsteine ein breites Spektrum an ORs, bei dem die über die innere spezifische Oberfläche ermittelten ORs andere Größenordnungen aufwiesen (< 10 µm/s), als bei dem Vergleich mit MIP oder µ-CT (bis 600 µm/s). Die mit MIP und µ-CT ermittelten Werten lagen dabei um einen Faktor von 1 bis 30 auseinander. Dieser umfangreiche Datensatz, der vier verschiedene Vergleichsverfahren einbezieht, soll neue Erkenntnisse in der Charakterisierung von porösen Materialien (z. B. bezüglich der Oberflächenrauigkeit) und in der Ursache für die starke Variation der OR ermöglichen. Durch das Berücksichtigen von fast- als auch slow-diffusion, können dabei sogar Daten in eine Porengrößenverteilung umgerechnet werden, bei denen das fast-diffusion-Kriterium nach Brownstein und Tarr nicht erfüllt ist. Außerdem ergibt sich aus der Berücksichtigung des slow-diffusion-Regimes ein neues Verständnis für die obere Auflösungsgrenze von NMR. T2 - 82.

However, its successful application heavily depends on the availability of a diverse and well-labeled training dataset, which is often lacking, raising questions about the transferability of trained algorithms to new datasets. To examine this issue closely, the authors applied classifiers trained with laboratory Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data to categorize on-site moisture damage in layered building floors. The investigations were conducted at five different locations in Germany. For reference, cores were taken at each measurement point and labeled as (i) dry, (ii) with insulation damage, or (iii) with screed damage. Compared to the accuracies of 84 % to 90 % within the laboratory training data (504 B-Scans), the classifiers achieved a lower overall accuracy of 53 % for on-site data (72 B-Scans). This discrepancy is mainly attributable to a significantly higher dynamic of all signal features extracted from on-site measurements compared to laboratory training data. Nevertheless, this study highlights the promising sensitivity of GPR for identifying individual damage cases. In particular the results showing insulation damage, which cannot be detected by any other non-destructive method, revealed characteristic patterns. The accurate interpretation of such results still depends on trained personnel, whereby fully automated approaches would require a larger and diverse on-site data set. Until then, the findings of this work contribute to a more reliable analysis of moisture damage in building floors using GPR and offer practical insights into applying machine learning to non-destructive testing for civil engineering (NDT-CE).

Mainly in materials research and especially in the field of non-destructive testing in civil engineering it is increasingly used. Scientific questions about and based on NMR meanwhile cover a broad spectrum. To give an overview, we have reviewed various studies dealing with the determination of moisture contents and parameters such as the pore-size distribution, surface relaxivity, porosity, etc. In some papers, the monitoring of moisture transport in connection with degradation processes or admixtures was the main objective. In other papers, NMR was used for pore space analysis or even applied on site to assess the state of conservation of cultural heritage. Building materials that have been investigated in the presented studies are for example cement, concrete, woods, sandstones etc. In this paper, short descriptions and the significant results of the reviewed articles are summarized and their measurement problems and discrepancies are pointed out. A special feature of this review article is the concise tabular compilation of determined 𝑇1 and 𝑇2 relaxation times, as well as of surface relaxivity values for various materials and components. Finally, relevant aspects are summed up and conclusions about the increasing potential of NMR relaxometry for investigations of porous building materials are drawn, followed by an outlook about future applications and the need for technical development.

Auch wenn zur qualitativen Lokalisierung möglicher Schad- und Risikostellen bereits zahlreiche zerstörungsfreie Verfahren in der Praxis Anwendung finden, besteht ein Mangel an quantitativen Verfahren, die auch bei niedrigen Feuchtegehalten sensitiv sind. Eine Methode zur zerstörungsfreien und quantitativen Bestimmung des Feuchtegehaltes und der effektiven Porosität ist die 1H-Kernspinresonzanzmethode (NMR). Da NMR sensitiv für die molekulare Beweglichkeit von Wasserstoffprotonen ist, lassen sich Informationen über die Bindungsform und -stärke sowie der Umgebung (Porengröße und Mineralzusammensetzung) der Wasserstoffprotonen gewinnen. Obwohl es bereits seit über 20 Jahren mobile NMR-Messeräte gibt, wird NMR heutzutage immer noch weitestgehend im Labor eingesetzt. Dies liegt daran, dass sie aufgrund der verwendeten Permanentmagnete schwer sind und nur äußerst geringe Eindringtiefen ermöglichen. In einer derzeit laufenden Forschungsarbeit wird deshalb ein speziell für Bohrkerne entworfener NMR-Tomograph eingesetzt. Mit seiner minimalen Echozeit von 50 µs lässt sich (abhängig von der Oberflächenrelaxivität) Wasser bis in nanometergroßen Poren erfassen. Um die Sensitivität von NMR bei Teilsättigung zu untersuchen, wurden verschiedene Sandsteinproben in Exsikkatoren mit relativen Luftfeuchten im Bereich von 33 % bis 96 % gelagert. Als Referenzen dienen zum einen das NMR-Signal bei Vollsättigung und zum anderen die Porengrößenverteilung aus Quecksilberporosimetriemessungen (MIP). Um die NMR-Sensitivität zu bewerten, wird die Korrelation der NMR-Amplitude mit den gravimetrisch ermittelten Feuchtegehalten sowie ein Vergleich der Porosität aus NMR und MIP betrachtet. Zu beachten ist in diesem Zusammenhang, dass sowohl die Reduzierung der Wasserfilmdicke als auch die Verkleinerung von Porengrößen zu einer ähnlichen Verkürzung der T2-Relaxationszeit führt. Als Ausblick wird ein Lösungsansatz vorgestellt, bei dem die NMR-Signale mit der Wasserfilmdickenberechnung basierend auf der relativen Luftfeuchte im Material korreliert werden. T2 - 81.

A key factor for their performance is a high liquid conductivity, which enables redistribution of liquid moisture within the material. We set up an experiment to investigate the development of moisture profiles within two different interior insulation materials, calcium-silicate (CaSi) and expanded perlite (EP), under constant boundary conditions. The moisture profiles were determined by two different methods: simple destructive sample slicing with subsequent thermogravimetric drying as well as non-destructive NMR measurements with high spatial resolution. The moisture profiles obtained from both methods show good agreement, when compared at the low spatial resolution of sample slicing, which demonstrates the reliability of this method. Moreover, the measured T2-relaxation-time distributions across the sample depth were measured, which may give further insight into the saturation degree of the different pore sizes. In order to explain differences in the moisture profiles between CaSi and EP, we determined their pore-size distribution with different methods: conversion of the NMR T2 relaxationtime distribution at full saturation, mercury intrusion porosimetry and indirect determination from pressure plate measurements. CaSi shows a unimodal distribution at small pore diameters, while in EP, a bi-modal or wider distribution was found. We assume that the smaller pore diameters of CaSi lead to a higher capillary conductivity, which causes a more distributed moisture profile in comparison with that of EP.

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. Applying the Sequential Learning App for Materials Discovery (SLAMD), an AI materials design framework, to an extensive dataset of real-world concrete compositions to selectively test materials that meet market demands: maximum durability, optimal eco-durability, and the best cost-durability trade-off. 2. Investigating 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) relaxometry as a quick alternative for characterizing carbonation behavior, as it saves time compared to traditional tests and assesses the complete material’s pore space. Specific NMR features are then integrated into the material design model, with the model’s performance compared against traditional approaches. 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.

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). Deren Eignung für reale Schadensfälle außerhalb der Laborumgebung wird hierbei stets kritisch hinterfragt und soll weiterführend an Praxiseinsätzen validiert werden. T2 - 80.
