TY - CONF A1 - Fladt, Matthias A1 - Weise, Frank T1 - Utilisation of alkali-sensitive aggregates for concrete pavements by internal hydrophobisation N2 - In order to avoid the increased ASR damage to concrete pavements in the German motorway network in the future, the ARS 04/2013 introduced mandatory suitability tests to exclude alkali-sensitive aggregates in new construction measures. This resulted in a significant reduction of suitable aggregates. Against this background, borderline alkali-sensitive aggregates are to be made usable by adding an internal water repellent agent during concrete casting. The ASR avoidance strategy is based on the significant reduction of the penetration of water and de-icing salt solution into the concrete pavement. Laboratory tests show that, with a suitable active ingredient, the ASR damage process can be significantly reduced with internal hydrophobisation. The disadvantage is that this is associated with a deterioration of the mechanical properties and the resistance to freeze-thaw with de-icing salt. The aim of the ongoing research is to reduce these disadvantages through targeted modification of the hydrophobising agent and air-entraining agent.

A1 - Meng, Birgit T1 - Effects of fatigue loading and alkali-silica reaction on the mechanical behaviour of pavement concrete N2 - The primary aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of mechanical pre-damage and alkali–silica reaction (ASR) on the fracture mechanical properties of pavement concrete. For this purpose, a four point bending test was applied to large format beams to produce a defined level of cyclic pre-damage. The fatigue-induced concrete degradation process was simultaneously recorded using a testing procedure specifically developed for the purpose. In addition, fatigue-induced cracks on extracted drilling cores were spatially visualized and quantified using micro X-ray 3D-computed tomography (3D-CT). The storage of the small-format test specimens, with and without cyclic pre-damage, in an ASR-conducive environment showed that pre-damage leads to an increase in ASR damage processes. Subsequent structural mechanical investigations on small format specimens with and without pre-damage show that fatigue loading and ASR significantly influence fracture mechanical parameters of the concrete.
