TY - CONF A1 - Reinemann, Steffi A1 - Ebell, Gino T1 - Electrochemical investigations of carbon steel reinforcement and galvanized steel reinforcement in fresh geopolymer mortars N2 - Concrete is the most produced material in the world. Every year approx. 6.000.000.000 m³ are produced worldwide and it is expected that the production volume will continue to increase because of the economic growth of many countries around the world. This development will also result in an increase of manufacturing CO₂ emissions if nothing changes. The cement production is already responsible for 5-10 % of the worldwide anthropogenic CO₂ emissions. An immense decrease of the CO₂ emissions (approx. 45-65 %) can be achieved by the use of geopolymers as binder instead of ordinary Portland cement. However, so far only limited data exists regarding the corrosion behavior of reinforcements in geopolymer concretes. The poster shows by means of different electrochemical investigations the formation of a protective layer on the surface of carbon steel reinforcement and galvanized steel reinforcement in fresh geopolymer mortars and in a fresh mortar with Portland cement as reference. The free corrosion potential in combination with current density potential curves as well as polarization resistances show the development of a protective layer on the reinforcement. The monitoring of the free corrosion potential starts with the first contact of the rebar with fresh mortar and ends after a passive condition was reached. The further electrochemical investigations are done during the potential monitoring under active conditions, semi active conditions and passive conditions. The results show that the formation of the protective layer in geopolymer mortars is significant slower than in mortar with Portland cement. The two investigated geopolymer mortars also show a significant difference in formation of the protective layer. This can depend on the different solidification time of the geopolymer mortar.

This makes them potentially applicable as repair systems for damaged steel-reinforced concrete structures, which are exposed to chloride attack. For this purpose, the influence of the activator composition, i.e. the SiO2 and Na2O concentration of the alkaline solution on a) the compressive strength, b) shrinkage and mass change and c) the resistance against chloride penetration of four alkali-activated slag mortars (AASM) were studied. An ordinary Portland cement-based mortar was used as the reference sample. Increasing SiO2 and Na2O concentrations increased the strength, shrinkage and mass loss of the AASMs. The resistance of the mortars against chloride penetration was evaluated using the non-steady-state migration coefficient Dnssm obtained from NT BUILD 492. The results indicate that the Dnssm is related to differences in the pore solution of the AASMs rather than to differences in their microstructure. An upcoming study of the authors is going to evaluate this hypothesis by the accelerated chloride penetration (diffusion) test.

A. T1 - RILEM TC CUC: Carbon dioxide uptake by concrete during and after service life – Opening Letter N2 - The ability of cement to chemically bind CO2 in a carbonation reaction enables the material to act as a carbon sink, which could partly account for offsetting the CO2 emissions associated with cement production. In response to the many open questions in this context, the RILEM Technical Committee CUC was created in May 2024. The focus of the TC will be to facilitate discussions regarding the current approaches to estimate the CO2 uptake by cementitious materials (concrete and other construction products) during and after service life. This Opening Letter presents aspects of the motivation to establish the TC, a brief overview of the state of the art in the field, the scheduled work programme, and the anticipated impact of the TC outputs. Though it is not intended to be an exhaustive discussion of the challenges to be addressed, from what is summarized in this letter, it is clear that work is required to base estimates of CO2 uptake by cementitious materials on a data set that is as extensive, accurate and forward-looking as possible. It is anticipated that the inclusion of interdisciplinary perspectives and data from academia and industry will enable progress in the field.

This study investigates the calcination of low-grade kaolinitic clays, using rotary kiln and fluidized bed. The calcined clays from the rotary kiln showed enhanced performance in the cement paste. The fluidized bed method demonstrated the potential for significant energy savings, achieving near-complete dehydroxylation with just 30 minutes of calcination. These findings highlight the promise of fluidized bed calcination for efficient clay activation, though further optimization is needed. T2 - 11. Jahrestagung des DAfStb mit 63.

In concrete, sulfides are introduced by ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS), used in standard cements and alkali-activated materials (AAMs), affecting steel corrosion. This study examined steel in synthetic GGBFS-containing cement pore solutions using electrochemical techniques. Compared to Portland cement solutions, steel in sulfide-containing solutions exhibits lower open circuit potentials and polarisation resistances. Thus, Portland cement concrete corrosion assessment standards are unsuitable for GGBFScontaining concrete. T2 - 11. Jahrestagung des DAfStb mit 63.

T1 - Characteristics of high calcium fly ash geopolymer mortar N2 - Portland cement is one of the principal sources of anthropomorphic CO2 emissions. It is estimated that cement production contributes up to 10% of greenhouse gas emissions and annual cement production over 4 billion tons. This has led to the development of a range of alkali activated materials (AAM), the most common precursor materials being class F fly ash and blast furnace slag. At present Class C Fly Ash is not widely utilized as an AAM due to the chemical composition and activation requirements. However, initial research on high Calcium German Class C Fly Ash suggests that the material may have potential for application as an AAM. This paper reports the development of ambient cured alkali activated mortar optimised by varying the alkali modulus and w/b ratio. The evolution of the mechanical and microstructural properties is reported over the initial 28 day period. Compressive strength in excess of 10 MPa at 7 days and 15 MPa at 28 days was achieved at ambient temperature. Similar strengths were observed for both 10% and 15% dosage but as dosage increases the optimal Alkali Modulus reduces.

Fly ash based geopolymer concretes with either quartz aggregate or expanded clay aggregate were exposed to various temperatures up to 750 °C using a thermo-mechanical testing apparatus. Microstructural investigations were also undertaken to better understand the measured changes in the mechanical properties. It was found that dehydration of capillary water caused cracking and strength losses at temperatures ≤300 °C, an effect that was more severe in the quartz aggregate geopolymer due to its lower permeability. At higher temperatures (T ≥ 500 °C) sintering promoted strength increases which enabled both concrete types to yield significant strength advantages over conventional materials. Stress–mechanical strain curves, which form the basis of the fire design of concrete structures, are reported.
