TY - CONF A1 - Auersch, Lutz T1 - Reduction of ground-induced building vibrations by kinematic and inertial soil-structure interac-tion and by base isolation N2 - Many buildings on the soil have been measured and the transfer function freefield-to-building is ana-lysed. In general, an amplification at low frequencies, an amplification for the floor resonances, and a reduction for higher frequencies can be observed. Most of the measurement examples show a flexible behaviour along the height of the buildings. The prediction of building vibration consists typically of three steps. At first, the dynamic stiffness of the foundation and secondly the kinematic soil-structure interaction has to be calculated for example by the combined finite-element boundary-element meth-od. The stiffness of the foundation reduces the incoming waves (the kinematic interaction). Finally, the inertial interaction of the building with the foundation soil is calculated by the conventional finite ele-ment method where the dynamic foundation stiffness from the first step is added at the bottom of the building. The building on the compliant soil has a fundamental vertical resonance usually below 10 Hz. A parametrical variation clearly shows the influence of the elasticity of the building on this reso-nance frequency and amplitude. Moreover for column-type office buildings, the low-frequency floor resonances can further reduce this fundamental frequency. A 1-dimensional model has been estab-lished which can well approximate the behaviour of the 3-dimensional building models. It is used to demonstrate the effect of a base isolation with soft elements at the foundation. A rigid building model clearly over-estimates the isolation effect, which is smaller for a model with flexible walls, columns and floors. An even simpler model of an infinitely high building is suggested for the mitigation effect, and the resonance frequency of the rigid building should be replaced by a better performance indica-tor, which is based on the impedance ratio of the isolation and the wall and which can be also ex-pressed as a characteristic frequency.

Die bisher in definierten Intervallen durchgeführten, wiederkehrenden Prüfungen zur Sicherstellung leckagefreier Rohrleitungen sind kostenintensiv und mit einem erhöhten Aufwand verbunden. Mit dem interdisziplinären Forschungsprojekt AGIFAMOR (Ageing Infrastructures – Akustisches Monitoring von Rohrleitungen) arbeitet die BAM an der Entwicklung und Erprobung einer örtlich und zeitlich kontinuierlichen Zustandsüberwachung von Rohrleitungen basierend auf einem faseroptischen akustischen Messsystem, welches einen vergleichsweise geringen Installationsaufwand der Sensoren erfordert. Mit diesem Verfahren sollen vor allem betriebsbedingte Schädigungen infolge von Korrosion sowie daraus entstehende Pittings oder Risse erkannt und damit Leckagen verhindert werden. Im Rahmen einer Machbarkeitsstudie zum Teilaspekt „Detektion von Risswachstum“ wurde ein 2,5 m langes, definiert vorgekerbtes Stahlrohr mit der faseroptischen Sensorik (FOS) ausgestattet und quasistatisch unter 4-Punkt-Biegung belastet. Mit fortschreitender Belastung wächst, ausgehend vom vorhandenen Außenumfangskerb, ein Riss im Stahlrohr bis zum Erreichen der Leckage – in der Praxis ein gefährliches Schadensszenario. Parallel zur FOS erfolgten Messungen mit Schallemissionssensoren, Beschleunigungssensoren und Potentialsonden, deren Ergebnisse die Interpretation der FOS-Messergebnisse unterstützen sollen. T2 - 21.

Yet current limitations in monitoring material properties during and after printing hinder the development of effective 3DCP guidelines. Therefore, the development of an inline sensing system capable of real-time monitoring and adjustment of process parameters is necessary to overcome these challenges. Building upon an existing inline sensing system developed by BAM, which currently monitors material properties during printing and the geometry of the print post-extrusion, this study extends its capabilities to post-extrusion monitoring using embedded piezoelectric (PZT) sensors. These PZT sensors provide localized measurements of material changes through electrical impedance (EI) measurements without disrupting the printing process. By embedding these sensors in 3D printed structures, continuous monitoring is achieved from layer deposition through 1-day of hydration. To achieve this, initially, PZT sensors were developed with multiple layers of protective coatings. Two different 3D printed mixtures, each with different hydration behaviors, were utilized, and PZT sensors were strategically placed between printed layers to maintain their integrity. EI measurements were collected continuously from printing through 1 day of hydration. Analysis of amplitude and frequency changes in the EI response spectrum provided insights into material behavior post-printing. The study highlights how continuous monitoring of frequency and conductance can track structural builtup and property development of the material. Rapid changes in conductance measurements, immediately post-printing indicate swift structural built-up, while key hydration phases are reflected in frequency measurements.

In the building sector, this demand includes not only the use of environmentally friendly materials but also the greening of urban areas. One promising approach is the development of bioreceptive concrete façades, which support the growth of green biofilms directly on their surfaces. These innovative façades are anticipated to deliver benefits comparable to those of macroscopically greened façades, such as enhanced biodiversity and improved air quality, while offering the advantages of being more self-sustaining and stable systems once fully established. However, the development of bioreceptive concrete presents substantial challenges. Due to the interdisciplinarity and novelty of this field, standardized methods for material characterization and bioreceptivity assessment are currently lacking. This study proposes an approach for evaluating surface properties crucial for bioreceptivity, developed on differently structured samples of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC). Existing methods and standards from concrete technology are critically reviewed and, where necessary, modified to meet the unique requirements of measuring bioreceptive material properties. Special attention is given to the surface pH value and water retention characteristics, as these are essential for promoting microbial growth and ensuring the long-term stability of green biofilms. The observed surface characteristics vary according to the imprinted surface structures, offering a spectrum of material properties and enabling the evaluation of their impact on bioreceptivity. The findings presented form the foundation for subsequent laboratory weathering experiments, which will be discussed in a complementary publication.

Focusing on the added value of biofilms on manmade substrates represents new aesthetic frontiers and reduces the use of biocides. Moreover, the metabolic processes of photosynthetic biofilms can positively influence human health and life quality in densely populated cities by converting or absorbing pollutants. In the presented research the bioreceptivity of concrete claddings for building facades is engineered to sustain either natural or artificial establishment of microalgae-dominated biofilms. To be able to differentiate between the intrinsic material properties and the climatic boundary conditions, the experimental design in the first step comprised different analyses with model mono- and multi-species biofilms in sterile conditions and a high control of the environmental parameters. Growth and vitality of the algal component of the biofilms has been assessed with Pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM) fluorometry.

Für die Dichtheitsprüfung im Rahmen der Bauartzulassung von Gefahrgutverpackungen für flüssige Füllgüter ist das Standardprüfverfahren das Eintauchverfahren in Wasser („Bubble Test“). Hierbei handelt es sich um ein lokalisierendes Prüfverfahren. Seine Anwendung lässt keine quantitative Aussage darüber zu, ob unter Beförderungsbedingungen aufgrund von strömungsbedingter Stofffreisetzung durch Leckstellen der Gefahrgutverpackungen die Gefahr der Bildung einer explosionsfähigen Atmosphäre besteht. Zentrales Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist daher, zunächst quantitative Dichtheitsanforderungen an Gefahrgutverpackungen im Hinblick auf die Entstehung explosionsfähiger Dampf-Luft-Gemische während des Transports zu entwickeln. Im Anschluss werden strömungsbedingte Leckageraten der Verschlüsse verschiedener Bauarten von Gefahrgutverpackungen gemessen. Der Vergleich der Messwerte mit den berechneten Grenzwerten ermöglicht die Einschätzung hinsichtlich der Bildung einer explosionsfähigen Atmosphäre. Dieser quantitative Ansatz zur Beurteilung der Dichtheit ist für Gefahrgutverpackungen derzeit noch nicht etabliert. Die Grenzleckageraten werden für das Szenario des interkontinentalen Transports von Gefahrgutverpackungen in einem 20-Fuß-Frachtcontainer im Hinblick auf die untere Explosionsgrenze abgeleitet. Dies geschieht unter Annahme einer Worst-Case-Betrachtung für Beförderungsdauer, Beladung und Luftwechselrate. Als mittlere Beförderungstemperatur wird 30 °C angesetzt. Eine vollständige Durchmischung im freien Luftraum des Containers wird angenommen. Es werden drei repräsentative Baugrößen von Gefahrgutverpackungen gewählt, mit einem Volumen von ca. 6 L, ca. 60 L und ca. 220 L. Als Füllgüter werden die 23 meistbeförderten flüssigen Gefahrgüter betrachtet. Die treibende Kraft für die Strömung durch Leckstellen ist der sich in der Verpackung ausbildende Überdruck. Die Berechnung des Überdrucks erfolgt durch analytische Modellgleichungen in Abhängigkeit der spezifischen Stoffdaten, Füllgrad, Befülltemperatur, Transporttemperatur und Nachgiebigkeit der Verpackungsbauart. Die quantitative Leckageratenmessung der Gefahrgutverpackungen wird mit dem Überdruckverfahren mit Ansammlung (Akkumulationsverfahren) unter Verwendung von Helium als Prüfgas vorgenommen. Zusätzlich erfolgt die Detektion weiterer potentieller Leckstellen außerhalb des Verschlussbereiches mit dem Schnüffelverfahren. Bei allen untersuchten Bauarten, mit Ausnahme des 6 L-Feinstblechkanisters, ist der Verschluss die einzige systematische Leckstelle der Verpackung. Die Messung der Helium-Leckageraten und der anschließende Vergleich mit den berechneten Helium-Grenzleckageraten zeigt, dass folgende Bauarten hinsichtlich des Erreichens der unteren Explosionsgrenze (UEG) durch eine Leckageströmung als kritisch einzuschätzen sind: Kunststoffverpackungen mit Schraubverschlüssen mit Flachdichtung, wenn bei diesen bestimmte Schädigungsmuster im Verschlussbereich vorliegen; Feinstblechkanister, da bei ihnen nicht nur der Verschlussbereich eine Leckstelle darstellt; Kunststoffverpackungen mit Schraubverschlüssen mit Flachdichtung, wenn diese auch für Füllgüter der Verpackungsgruppe I zugelassen sind. Als Konsequenz sollten bei diesen kritischen Bauarten entweder Modifikationen in Bezug auf die Verpackung selbst oder auf die Transportbedingungen im Frachtcontainer vorgenommen werden. Bei Kunststoffverpackungen ist auch die Füllgutpermeation als Freisetzungsmechanismus relevant. Es wird der prinzipielle Rechenweg zur Berücksichtigung dieses Quellterms exemplarisch gezeigt. Diese Arbeit leistet einen grundlegenden Beitrag für die Etablierung einer systematischen quantitativen Dichtheitsbetrachtung von Gefahrgutverpackungen mit dem Ziel der Verbesserung der Sicherheit beim interkontinentalen Gefahrguttransport im Frachtcontainer.

N2 - Different kinds of additive and reactive flame retardants containing phosphorus are increasingly successful as halogen-free alternatives for various polymeric materials and applications. Phosphorus can act in the condensed phase by enhancing charring, yielding intumescence, or through inorganic glass formation; and in the gas phase through flame inhibition. Occurrence and efficiency depend, not only on the flame retardant itself, but also on its interaction with pyrolysing polymeric material and additives. Flame retardancy is sensitive to modification of the flame retardant, the use of synergists/adjuvants, and changes to the polymeric material. A detailed understanding facilitates the launch of tailored and targeted development.

A1 - Lorenz, W., A1 - Rohrmann, R.G., T1 - Vibration-based model updating and identification of multiple axial forces in truss structures N2 - Safety assessment of existing iron and steel truss structures requires the determination of the axial Forces and corresponding stresses in truss structural members. The results of the axial force determination can be integrated as part of a structural health Monitoring scheme for existing trusses. In this work, a methodology is proposed to identify multiple axial forces in members of a truss structure based on the modal parameters. Vibration test allows the identification of the natural frequencies and mode shapes, globally of the truss structure as well as locally of the individual bars. The method calibrates the numerical model of the truss structure using a genetic algorithm and strategic validation criteria. The validation criteria are based on the identified natural frequencies and global mode shapes of the truss structure as well as information of the axial forces in the individual bars of the truss, which are estimated from the natural frequencies and five amplitudes of the corresponding local mode shapes of the single bars based on an analytical-based algorithm. The calibration allows the identification of the axial forces in all bars of the truss structure. For mode pairing strategy, a technique makes use of the enhanced modal assurance criteria with the calculation of the modal strain energies. Moreover, the modal strain energies are also used to select the relevant local mode shape of the individual bars. The feasibility and accuracy of the proposed methodology is verified by laboratory experiments on several truss structures. In situ tests on existing trusses are intended. The results from one of the laboratory tested structures, i.e. a two-bar system, are included in this paper.

This method is based on attenuation of continuous highenergy spectra. The developed experimental technique consists of a betatron as high-energy (up to 7.5 MeV) X-ray source and a matrix detector with high spatial resolution (400 ìm) for digital X-ray imaging. In order to evaluate the material discrimination capability using dual high-energy X-ray imaging, a test specimen is proposed, comprising step wedges of different low and high atomic number (Z) materials. The selected X-ray spectra for the dual-energy experiments correspond to 3 MV and 7.5 MV acceleration potential of the betatron. We evaluated the ratio between low- and high-energy X-ray attenuation coefficients quantitatively based on simulated poly-energetic high-energy X-ray source spectra and the detector sensitivity using the 'analytical Radiographic Testing inspection simulation tool' (aRTist) developed at BAM. The simulated effective attenuation coefficients are compared with corresponding experimental results in order to establish a method for identification of low- and high-Z materials in the container. Finally, important applications of the proposed technique in the context of aviation security are discussed.

In contrast to personal luggage, cargo or structural components constitute a complexity that may significantly hamper the detection of a threat by conventional transmission radiography. A novel approach of interrogating a large object to a certain depth only with a single sided access will be presented. It consists of an X-ray backscatter camera with a special twisted slit collimator for imaging backscattered objects. The new X-ray backscatter camera is not only imaging the objects due to their densities but also by taking into account the influences of surrounding objects. Additionally, it does not only image illuminated features but also depicts shadows from absorbing materials. This is a unique characteristic of the developed X-ray backscatter camera. Experimental mock-ups are conducted imitating container with threats among a complex packing as they may be encountered in reality. At the end, the significant advantages of the presented X-ray backscatter camera in the context of aviation and port security will be discussed.

They are generally made-up of thin aluminium (Al) metal sheets and are one of the key components in the aircraft wings. Any defects in the stringer leads to weakening of the stiffness of the whole wing structure and consequently, failures may occur. Hence, the structural integrity of the stringers should be evaluated using reliable non-destructive testing (NDT) methods. Due to the complex shaped structure of the stringer, the one-sided access NDT method such as X-ray backscatter technique is more preferable for the non-destructive imaging. In this paper, we present a new X-ray backscatter technique to image the internal sections of the stringer with only a single-sided access. The whole object was inspected by changing the viewing direction of the X-ray backscatter camera. For the first time, the X-ray backscatter measurements were conducted using high-energy (> 0.5MeV) X-rays and proved the applicability of the present technique to inspect thick carbon-fiber laminated components.

A1 - Thöns, Sebastian T1 - Decision analytic approach for the reclassification of concrete bridges by using elastic limit information from proof loading N2 - Reclassification of bridges, i.e., a change in load rating, using reliability-based methods and a direct update with proof load information has been presented by many authors. However, bridge reclassification has hardly been studied from a decision analytic perspective, i.e., with quantification of the risks and benefits of different classification choices, and the expected benefit gain from proof loading. We derive, explain and exemplify a decision analytic approach for bridge reclassification along with models for (1) elastic and ultimate capacity and their adaptation with proof load information, (2) proof load information with classification outcomes accounting for target reliabilities and, (3) utilities including socio-economic benefits from reclassification. The approach and models are exemplified with a case study based on reclassification of bridges with a low existing classification. Decision rules, for practical use by a highway authority to find the optimal classification, are identified and documented based on: (1) the measurement of the capacity at elastic limit by proof loading, (2) the bridge reclassification benefits, and, (3) the required annual reliability level. From a Value of Information analysis, it is concluded that the proof load information is highly valuable for reclassification in cases of high socio-economic benefits and high reliability requirements.

Changing the current prescriptive approach to a risk-based approach has great potential to enable a more efficient management of such systems. Risk-based optimization of operation and maintenance strategies identifies the strategy that optimally balances the cost for controlling deterioration in a structural system with the achieved risk reduction. Inspections and monitoring are essential parts of operation and maintenance strategies. They are typically performed to reduce the uncertainty in the structural condition and inform decisions on future operation and maintenance actions. In risk-based optimization of operation and maintenance strategies, Bayesian updating is used to include information contained in inspection and monitoring data in the prediction of the structural reliability. All computations need to be repeated many times for different potential inspection and monitoring outcomes. This motivates the development of robust and efficient approaches to this computationally challenging task. The reliability of deteriorating structural systems is time-variant because the loads on them and their capacities change with time. In most practical applications, the reliability analysis of deteriorating structural systems can be approached by dividing their lifetime into discrete time intervals. The time-variant reliability problem can then be represented by a series of time-invariant reliability problems. Using this methodology as a starting point, this thesis proposes a novel approach to compute the time-variant reliability of deteriorating structural systems for which inspection and monitoring data are available. The problem is formulated in a nested way in which the prediction of the structural condition is separated from the computation of the structural reliability conditional on the structural condition. Information on the structural condition provided by inspections and monitoring is included in the reliability assessment through Bayesian updating of the system deterioration model employed to predict the structural condition. The updated system reliability is obtained by coupling the updated deterioration model with a probabilistic structural model utilized to calculate the failure probability conditional on the structural condition. This approach is the first main outcome of this thesis and termed nested reliability analysis (NRA) approach. It is demonstrated in two numerical examples considering inspected and monitored steel structures subject to high-cycle fatigue. An alternative – recently developed – approach, which also follows the strategy of discretizing time, describes deteriorating structural systems with hierarchical dynamic Bayesian networks (DBN). DBN combined with approximate or exact inference algorithms also enable the computation of the time-variant reliability of deteriorating structural systems conditional on information provided by inspection and monitoring data. In this thesis – as a proof of concept – a software prototype is developed based on the DBN approach, which can be used to assess the reliability of a corroding concrete box girder for which half-cell potential measurements are available. This is the second main outcome of this thesis. Both approaches presented in this thesis enable an integral reliability analysis of inspected and monitored structures that accounts for system effects arising from (a) the correlation among deterioration states of different structural elements, (b) the interaction between element deterioration and system failure, and (c) the indirect information gained on the condition of all unobserved structural elements from inspecting or monitoring the condition of some structural elements. Thus, both approaches enable a systemwide risk-based optimization of operation and maintenance strategies for deteriorating structural systems. The NRA approach can be implemented relatively easily with subset simulation, which is a sequential Monte Carlo method suitable for estimating rare event probabilities. Subset simulation is robust and considerably more efficient than crude Monte Carlo simulation. It is, however, still sampling-based and its efficiency is thus a function of the number of inspection and monitoring outcomes, as well as the value of the simulated event probabilities. The current implementation of the NRA approach performs separate subset simulation runs to estimate the reliability at different points in time. The efficiency of the NRA approach with subset simulation can be significantly improved by exploiting the fact that failure events in different years are nested. The lifetime reliability of deteriorating structural systems can thus be computed in reverse chronological order in a single subset simulation run. The implementation of the DBN approach is much more demanding than the implementation of the NRA approach but it has two main advantages. Firstly, the graphical format of the DBN facilitates the presentation of the model and the underlying assumptions to stakeholders who are not experts in reliability analysis. Secondly, it can be combined with exact inference algorithms. In this case, its efficiency neither depends on the number of inspection and monitoring outcomes, nor on the value of the event probabilities to be calculated. However, in contrast to the NRA approach with subset simulation, the DBN approach with exact inference imposes restrictions on the number of random variables and the dependence structure that can be implemented in the model.

Mögliche Nutzer des Verfahrens sind oft daran interessiert, in einer ersten Abschätzung herauszufinden, ob Impulsradar bei ihrer Prüfaufgabe sinnvoll eingesetzt werden kann. Sofern die physikalischen Voraussetzungen für die Anwendbarkeit gegeben sind, ist danach die Machbarkeit von Interesse. Dazu ist die erzielbare Detektionstiefe von Bewehrungsstäben in Beton mit Radar von Bedeutung. In diesem Beitrag werden systematische Untersuchungen beschrieben, bei denen die erzielbare Detektionstiefe von Bewehrungsstäben in Betonbauteilen zunächst auf einfache Weise visuell quantifiziert wurde. Diese Untersuchungen wurden mit verschiedenen Antennenmittenfrequenzen durchgeführt. Dazu wurden Betonbauteile konzipiert, die bezüglich der Größen Einbautiefe, Bewehrung, Betonalter (Aushärtung des Betons) und Betonrezeptur variiert wurden. Am Ende stehen Kurven, aus denen die realistisch erzielbaren Detektionstiefen von Bewehrungsstäben in Beton in Abhängigkeit von Betonalter, Antennenmittenfrequenz und Betonsorte abgelesen werden können.

N2 - Among non-destructive testing methods in civil-engineering (NDT-CE) Radar or GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) has been well established. As a first step the engineer has to make sure the chosen NDT-method is applicable. When the physical requirements for an application are fulfilled the engineer wants to know up to what depth he might detect reinforcement bars. This article summarizes the results of systematic testing with radar at well-defined test specimens with different concrete mixtures, rebars in various depths using different antenna frequencies for their detection. As a result simple detection curves allow the engineer to estimate the attainable detection depth of reinforcement bars depending on the concrete age, concrete mixture and antenna frequency. To quantify the influence of the reinforcement near the surface or the maximum grain size of the aggregate advanced data assessment using the theory of POD (Probability of Detection) is presented as part of a comprehensive PhD thesis.

In case of failure in the production process, e.g., if the heat of reaction cannot be removed sufficiently fast, decomposition reactions can be triggered, and as a result, remarkable amounts of heat and gas can be released and can cause a high extent of damage. Multifarious technical and organizational measures are necessary to ensure the safe industrial production of peroxides. With the introduction of microreaction technology plenty of possibilities have been opened to carry out highly exothermic reactions in smaller volumes and with more efficient heat removal. In this paper we report the application of three different microstructured reactors, representing different mixing strategies, to synthesize two peroxymonocarboxylic esters, namely tert-butyl peroxypivalate and tert-butyl peroxy-2- thylhexanoate. The following reactor types were considered: an orifice microreactor, a split and recombine microreactor and a capillary tube reactor in combination with ultrasonication. The efficiency of the two Phase liquid/liquid reaction is expressed in comparison of conversion and selectivity. With microreaction technology a remarkable increase in space-time-yield, ranging from 12,500 kg·m−3·h−1 to 414,000 kg·m−3·h−1, is achieved.

Aufbauend auf den Kenntnissen aus der Praxis und auf Testreihen im Rahmen von Laboruntersuchungen wurde ein erster Ringversuch geplant und durchgeführt. Im Rahmen dieses Ringversuchs wurden verschiedene Strukturdefekte und Einbauteile in Elementwände eingebaut. Die Messung der Wände erfolgte anschließend durch mehrere Messteams mit unterschiedlichen zerstörungsfreien Prüfverfahren. Zum Einsatz kamen hierbei das Ultraschall-Echo- und das Impact-Echo-Verfahren sowie das Impuls-Radar-Verfahren. Zur Verbesserung der Vergleichbarkeit zwischen den unterschiedlichen Prüfverfahren wurde auf die Elementwände ein einheitliches Messraster aufgebracht. Für eine möglichst objektive Messung der Wände erhielten die Messteams vor den Messungen keine Details zu den Strukturdefekten oder Einbauteilen. Die Prüfaufgabe bestand darin, die Wände mit dem jeweiligen Prüfverfahren zu untersuchen. Anschließend wurden die Ergebnisse der Messteams zentral gesammelt und ausgewertet. Anhand der zentralen Auswertung sollten Aussagen zu den eingebauten Inhomogenitäten ableitet werden. Hierdurch kann zum einen die Leistungsfähigkeit der Prüfverfahren an unterschiedlichsten Inhomogenitäten getestet werden, zum anderen können die Ergebnisse und somit die Prüfverfahren untereinander verglichen werden.

Biegebalken finden unter anderem Anwendung in Form von Brückenträgern oder Unterzügen. Die bei maximaler Beanspruchung auftretenden Versagensformen unterteilen sich dabei in Biege- und Querkraftversagen (Schubversagen). Ein Versagen des Balkens kann je nach Versagensmechanismus mit oder ohne Vorankündigung erfolgen. Gebräuchliche Bemessungskonzepte der Baupraxis zur Dimensionierung entsprechender Tragelemente zielen auf ein Versagen mit ausreichender Vorankündigung (große Verformungen oder breite Risse) ab, wie es z.B. beim sekundären Biegedruckversagen entsteht. Für die Zustandsüberwachung von Bauwerken (z.B. Brücken) mittels zerstörungsfreier Prüftechniken sind fundierte Kenntnisse zu den bei Biegebeanspruchung auftretenden Schadensmechanismen erforderlich.

Hierzu wurde das Verformungsverhalten eines Stahlbetonbalkens (L = 2,75 m) in einem Vierpunkt-Biegeversuch im Labormaßstab untersucht. Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt dabei auf der Charakterisierung der ausschlaggebenden Versagensmodi durch die einzelnen zerstörungsfreien Prüfverfahren und der Vergleich zu klassischen Messmethoden (z.B.

T1 - Elastic wave propagation of ultrasound in bituminous road surfaces - simulations and measurements N2 - Maintenance costs of road infrastructure are increasing steadily. The main cause of this is the nearly exponential increase of traffic during the last decades. Adverse environmental impacts on infrastructure get more and more important as well. Therefore, it is important to determine how limited financial resources can be directed with an optimum pay-out. Often a decision has to be made whether existing structures have to be rebuilt or repaired based on the condition of the structures. The present study takes first steps towards the usage of low-frequency ultrasound as a tool to evaluate the road condition. The overall aim is to derive a prediction model for future road conditions. In order to better understand and interpret recorded wave fields simulations of elastic wave propagation in layered and scattering road models have been performed. The study combined investigations in the laboratory with field measurements. In a series of extensive laboratory tests with different asphalt mixtures characteristic wave properties have been derived. Travel time (resp. velocity) as important material parameter has been investigated for different wave types, different centre frequencies and at various temperatures. An investigation of the directivity of wave radiation in the heterogeneous asphalt bodies led to an estimate of the related disturbing influences. Based on the laboratory results field measurements were performed on a real road and the records were processed to identify layers, propagation speeds and attenuation. The results were verified by a series of simulations.

The central theme was the moisture monitoring of a masonry wall made of unstabilised earth blocks over a period of around 18 months. The experimental results were compared to WUFI simulations, and the moisture transport in layered wall constructions was eventually studied in WUFI. Prof. Janssen discussed this publication in Construction and Building Materials. He raised concerns about the experiments and modelling of moisture transport. In this closure, the capillary adsorption coefficient was recalculated, and deviations from the initial value were quantified. Sensitivity analyses were conducted in WUFI to evaluate the influence of different water vapour resistances and water adsorption coefficients. The resulting moisture transport was then compared to material moisture profiles measured using 1H NMR relaxometry. Finally, the water adsorption behaviour of different earth materials is discussed in respect to material moisture and corresponding relative humidity.

In the design phase, the cyclic demand on wind turbine support structure is calculated and forecasted with semi or fully probabilistic engineering models. In some cases, additional cyclic stresses may be induced by construction deviations, unbalanced rotor masses and structural dynamic phenomena such as, for example, the Sommerfeld effect. Both, the significant uncertainties in the design and a validation of absence of unforeseen adverse dynamic phenomena necessitate the employment of measurement Systems on the support structures. The quality of the measurements of the cyclic demand on the support structures depends on (a) the precision of the measurement System consisting of sensors, amplifier and data normalization and (b) algorithms for analyzing and converting data to structural health information. This paper presents the probabilistic modelling and analysis of uncertainties in strain measurements performed for the purposes of reconstructing stress resultants in wind turbine towers. It is shown how the uncertainties in the strain measurements affect the uncertainty in the individual components of the reconstructed forces and moments. The analysis identifies the components of the vector of stress resultants that can be reconstructed with sufficient precision.

Gegenüber seinen positiven Eigenschaften zu dem in diesem Verkehrssektor häufig verwendeten Kraftstoff Diesel birgt der Kraftstoff aber auch Gefahren für Personen und Bauwerke durch seine sehr niedrige Temperatur bei der Speicherung von ca. -160 °C und seine Explosionsfähigkeit in der Gas-Phase. In der Arbeit wurde sich mit der Gefährdung von Personen und Bauwerken hinsichtlich der von LNG ausgehenden Gefahren in Tunneln auseinandergesetzt. Tunnel stellen besonders schützenswerte Bauwerke dar, da aus vorhergehenden Störfällen in Tunneln bekannt ist, dass diese mit hohen Personen-, Bauwerks-, und Volkswirtschaftlichen-Schäden einhergehen können. Untersuchungsschwerpunkt bei der Bewertung von Gefährdungen durch LNG stellte eine Ereigniskaskade bestehend aus Freisetzung, Verdampfung, Stoffausbreitung und Zündung des sich gebildeten explosionsfähigen LNG-Gas/Luft-Gemisches dar. Mit dem Ziel eine solche Ereigniskaskade realitätsnah vorhersagen und zukünftig hierzu Risikoanalysen durchführen zu können wurden innerhalb der Arbeit Parameterstudien sowie Kalibrierungen und Validierungen gegenüber experimentellen Untersuchungen durchgeführt. Mit den Modellen wurden in der Arbeit exemplarische Fallbeispiele zu Störfällen untersucht. Ergebnisse dieser waren, dass Gefährdungen insbesondere von flüssigem LNG nach dessen Freisetzung und der Verbrennung von LNG-Gas/Luft-Gemischen ausgingen. N2 - Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) from regenerative sources is a potential fuel for heavy and long-distance road traffic. In contrast to its positive properties compared to diesel, which is often used in this transport sector, the fuel also contains hazards from its very low storage temperature of approx. -160 °C and its explosiveness in the gas phase for personal and structural safety. The dissertation dealt with the dangers to persons and infrastructures according to the hazards by LNG in tunnels. Tunnels are especiallyworth protecting structures since it is known from previous incidents in tunnels that they can go hand in hand with high damage to the people, the structure, and the economy. The main focus of the investigation into the assessment of hazards from LNG was an event cascade consisting of release, evaporation, dispersion, and ignition of the explosive LNG-vapor/air-mixture formed. To realistically predict such an event cascade and being able to carry out risk analyzes for this purpose in the future, parameter studies such as calibrations and validations were carried out concerning experimental investigations.

The results of this were that there were especially hazards in particular from liquid LNG after its release and the combustion of LNG-vapor/air-mixtures.

Schwerpunkt der Arbeit war die Bestimmung der Explosionsdrücke, der zeitlichen Druckanstiege bzw. der KG-Werte und der reduzierten Explosionsdrücke in Abhängigkeit der Methankonzentration. Im geschlossenen Behälter wurden die Explosionsdrücke und zeitlichen Druckanstiege für Methan-Luft-Gemische mit Methankonzentrationen von 5,9 Vol-% bis 13,5 Vol-% ermittelt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen gute Übereinstimmung mit den Literaturwerten. Weiter wurden Druckentlastungsversuche mit einer kreisrunden Entlastungsfläche von 0,011 m² und einer Druckentlastungsfolie mit einem statischen Ansprechdruck von 1,94 bar durchgeführt. Hierbei wurden Gemische mit Methankonzentrationen von 5,9 Vol-% bis 14,3 Vol-% untersucht. Dabei zeigte sich, dass die vergleichsweise kleine Entlastungsfläche nur dann zu reduzierten Explosionsdrücken gleich dem statischen Ansprechdruck der Berstfolie führte, wenn die Methankonzentration ≤ 5,9 Vol-% oder ≥ 14,0 Vol-% betrug. Bei allen anderen untersuchten Methankonzentrationen führten die durch die Druckentlastung induzierten Turbulenzen zu einer Beschleunigung der Verbrennungsreaktion und zu Explosionsdrücken vergleichbar denen im geschlossenen Behälter.

However, the integrity of such tanks can be jeopardized by fire. In such a scenario, MLI materials degradation can occur, leaving the tank unprotected from the fire heat flux, with consequent rapid pressurization and a high risk of failure. This study presents an assessment of aluminum-based MLI for liquid hydrogen cryogenic tanks under fire exposure based on the estimation of the time to mechanical failure of the equipment. This is calculated through an innovative model that simulates the thermomechanical response of the tank, including the MLI thermal degradation and the pressure-relief valve (PRV) operation. The application to several case studies that consider a typical LH2 tank featuring a wide range of MLI configurations demonstrated the likelihood of failure in case of exposure to a hydrocarbon pool fire, providing also comprehensive insights into the impact of the insulation characteristics and operating conditions on the time to failure.

The method defines heuristics at the system level to reduce the number of possible strategies. For each defined strategy, it computes the updated system failure probability conditional on simulated inspection and repair histories, and evaluates the associated costs and risk. The expected total service life costs and risk for a strategy are finally determined using Monte Carlo simulation. The optimal strategy minimizes the expected total service life costs and risk. We intend to adopt this approach to optimize inspection, monitoring and repair activities for offshore wind park support structures. As a first step, we simulate – in analogy to an offshore wind park – the service life performance of an inspected group of jacket-type frames. The performance is quantified in terms of the group’s system failure probability conditional on simulated inspection and repair histories. The underlying system model accounts for the structural redundancy of the frames and the interdependence among their failure events due to similar loading conditions. The model also captures stochastic dependence among the deterioration states of the frames. As part of the simulation process the a-priori unknown outcome of any planned inspection is generated conditional on the outcome of all previous inspections.

Its storage requires tanks with Thermal Super Insulations (TSI) to keep the transported fluid cold. TSI has proven itself in various applications over a long time, but not in the land transport sector, where accidents involving collisions, fires, and their combination are to be expected. The focus of this study is to investigate the behavior of different types of TSI when exposed to a heat source that represents a fire. Therefore, a High-Temperature Thermal Vacuum Chamber (HTTVC) was used that allows the thermal loading of thermal insulation material in a vacuum and measuring the heat flow through the TSI in parallel. Within this study, 5 samples were tested regarding 3 different types of MLI, rock wool, and perlites. The thermal exposure caused different effects on the samples. In practice, this can be connected to the rapid release of flammable gases as well as a Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion (BLEVE). These results are relevant for the evaluation of accident scenarios, the improvement of TSI, and the development of emergency measures.

The integrity of these systems might be threatened during fire exposure. This can trigger the degradation of the MLI materials and induce rapid pressurization of the tank with a high risk of catastrophic failure. In this work, a novel lumped model to simulate the thermal response of MLI-equipped cryogenic liquid hydrogen tanks is presented. The model integrates the accurate database “Coolprop” for hydrogen thermodynamic properties and sub-models for detailed simulation of MLI degradation, providing a realistic simulation of the experimental data obtained under normal operating conditions. The application of the model to several case studies considering different numbers of MLI layers and tank geometries demonstrates that aluminum-based MLI offers scarce protection in case of exposure to a hydrocarbon poolfire.

Effect of fire on the storage of Cryogenic fluids N2 - Cryogenic liquefied gases, such as liquid hydrogen (LH2) and liquefied natural gas (LNG), are becoming more popular as eco-friendly energy sources. However, using these gases more often increases the risk of accidents, making it important to conduct thorough risk assessments. The storage systems for these gases rely on thermal superinsulation (TSI), which can fail under extreme heat, especially during fires. Therefore, it is essential to study how and why TSI fails. This research (part of PhD topic) aims to examine insulation performance, thereby improving the overall safety of cryogenic storage systems.

A1 - Knaust, Christian T1 - Dispersion Modeling of LNG-Vapor on Land – A CFD-Model Evaluation Study N2 - Based on methane from renewable resources, LNG is an alternative fuel for heavy and long-distance traffic in land transport. Contrary to its positive properties, the fuel contains risks from an explosion and extremely low temperatures for personal and infrastructure safety. CFD-models are suitable for doing risk analyses for arbitrary scenarios. For examining how to model for risk research the dispersion of LNG-vapor, this paper contains a model variant study, with an evaluation by experiments. This paper describes the use of the CFD-code ANSYS Fluent for simulating experiments of the ‘LNG Safety Program Phase II‘. The content of the well-documented experiments was the research of the vaporization rate of LNG on land and the dispersion of LNG-vapor in the air. Based on the comparison to two experiments, overall 12 CFD-model variants with varying thermal and turbulence parameters were examined how they affect the transient LNG-vapor dispersion in air. The definition of turbulence-boundary-condition at the domain borders had the biggest impact on modeling, followed by the turbulence model. The most accurate model variant had been applied for observing the spreading behavior of LNG-vapor in the air after evaporation on land and analyzing the influence of the LNG-composition to the dispersion. The results show that the mixture of LNG-vapor and the air in the free field is cooler than the ambient air and spreads like a heavy gas on the ground.

The updated system reliability is then obtained through coupling the updated deterioration model with a probabilistic structural model. The underlying high-dimensional structural reliability problems are solved using subset simulation, which is an efficient and robust sampling-based algorithm suitable for such analyses.

T1 - Steel corrosion in reinforced alkali‐activated materials N2 - The development of alkali‐activated materials (AAMs) as an alternative to Portland cement (PC) has seen significant progress in the past decades. However, there still remains significant uncertainty regarding their long term performance when used in steel‐reinforced structures. The durability of AAMs in such applications depends strongly on the corrosion behaviour of the embedded steel reinforcement, and the experimental data in the literature are limited and in some cases inconsistent. This letter elucidates the role of the chemistry of AAMs on the mechanisms governing passivation and chloride‐induced corrosion of the steel reinforcement, to bring a better understanding of the durability of AAM structures exposed to chloride. The corrosion of the steel reinforcement in AAMs differs significantly from observations in PC; the onset of pitting (or the chloride ‘threshold’ value) depends strongly on the alkalinity, and the redox environment, of these binders. Classifications or standards used to assess the severity of steel corrosion in PC appear not to be directly applicable to AAMs due to important differences in pore solution chemistry and phase assemblage.

To overcome some of these limitations, 29Si{27Al} TRAPDOR NMR as well as 27Al{29Si} and 27Al{1H} REDOR NMR spectroscopy were applied to materials synthesized by the one-part alkali-activation route from three different amorphous silica starting materials, including rice husk ash. The latter led to formation of a fully amorphous sodium aluminosilicate gel (geopolymer), while the materials produced from the other silicas contained amorphous phase and crystalline zeolites. Application of the double-resonance NMR methods allowed to identify hydrous alumina gel domains in the rice husk ash-based material as well as significantly differing amounts of residual silica in the three cured materials. Four-coordinated Al existed not only in the aluminosilicate gel framework but also in a water-rich chemical environment with only a small amount of Si in proximity, likely in the alumina gel or possibly present as extra-framework Al in the aluminosilicate gel. The results demonstrate how the employment of different silica starting materials determines the phase assemblage of one-part alkali-activated materials, which in turn influences their engineering properties such as the resistance against chemically/biologically aggressive media.

The transport coefficients differed considerably between different formulations, being lowest for a mortar with BFS addition, but still acceptable for one of the purely fly ash-based mortars. Leaching over a period of ~300 days in de-ionized water did not lead to observable corrosion of the embedded steel, as shown by the electrochemical data and visual inspection of the steel. Exposure to 100 % CO2 atmosphere caused steel depassivation within approx. two weeks; in addition, indications of a deterioration of the mortar were observed. The results are discussed in the context of the different reaction products expected in high- and low-Ca alkali-activated binders, and the alterations caused by leaching and carbonation.

T1 - Acid resistance of alkali-activated materials: Recent advances and research needs N2 - Cementitious materials are frequently applied in environments in which they are exposed to acid attack, e.g., in sewer systems, biogas plants, and agricultural/food-related industries. Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) have repeatedly been shown to exhibit a remarkably high resistance against attack by organic and inorganic acids and, thus, are promising candidates for the construction and the repair of acid-exposed structures. However, the reaction mechanisms and processes affecting the acid resistance of AAMs have just recently begun to be understood in more detail. The present contribution synthesises these advances and outlines potentially fruitful avenues of research. The interaction between AAMs and acids proceeds in a multistep process wherein different aspects of deterioration extend to different depths, complicating the overall determination of acid resistance. Partly due to this indistinct definition of the ‘depth of corrosion’, the effects of the composition of AAMs on their acid resistance cannot be unambiguously identified to date. Important parallels exist between the deterioration of low-Ca AAMs and the weathering/corrosion of minerals and glasses (dissolution-reprecipitation mechanism). Additional research requirements relate to the deterioration mechanism of high-Ca AAMs; how the character of the corroded layer influences the rate of deterioration; the effects of shrinkage and the bond between AAMs and substrates.

The compressive strength of the hybrid cements was higher by up to 27% after 91-day curing at 10°C, compared to curing at 21.5°C. The experimental results as well as thermodynamic modeling indicate that the differences in compressive strength were related to a different phase assemblage, mainly differing amounts of strätlingite and C-N-A-S-H, and the associated differences of the volume of hydration products. While the strätlingite was amorphous to X-rays, it could be identified by 27Al MAS NMR spectroscopy, TGA and thermodynamic modeling. The microstructural properties of the hybrid cements and the alkali-activated slag/fly ash blend as well as the compatibility between thermodynamic modeling results and experimental data as a function of curing temperature and time are discussed.

T1 - Carbonation rate of alkali-activated concretes and high-volume SCM concretes: a literature data analysis by RILEM TC 281-CCC N2 - The current understanding of the carbonation and the prediction of the carbonation rate of alkali-activated concretes is complicated inter alia by the wide range of binder chemistries used and testing conditions adopted. To overcome some of the limitations of individual studies and to identify general correlations between mix design parameters and carbonation resistance, the RILEM TC 281-CCC ‘Carbonation of Concrete with Supplementary Cementitious Materials’ Working Group 6 compiled and analysed carbonation data for alkali-activated concretes and mortars from the literature. For comparison purposes, data for blended Portland cement-based concretes with a high percentage of SCMs (≥ 66% of the binder) were also included in the database. The analysis indicates that water/CaO ratio and water/binder ratio exert an influence on the carbonation resistance of alkali-activated concretes; however, these parameters are not good indicators of the carbonation resistance when considered individually. A better indicator of the carbonation resistance of alkali-activated concretes under conditions approximating natural carbonation appears to be their water/(CaO + MgOeq + Na2Oeq + K2Oeq) ratio, where the subscript ‘eq’ indicates an equivalent amount based on molar masses. Nevertheless, this ratio can serve as approximate indicator at best, as other parameters also affect the carbonation resistance of alkali-activated concretes. In addition, the analysis of the database points to peculiarities of accelerated tests using elevated CO2 concentrations for low-Ca alkali-activated concretes, indicating that even at the relatively modest concentration of 1% CO2, accelerated testing may lead to inaccurate predictions of the carbonation resistance under natural exposure conditions.

T1 - Report of RILEM TC 281-CCC: A critical review of the standardised testing methods to determine carbonation resistance of concrete N2 - The chemical reaction between CO2 and a blended Portland cement concrete, referred to as carbonation, can lead to reduced performance, particularly when concrete is exposed to elevated levels of CO2 (i.e., accelerated carbonation conditions). When slight changes in concrete mix designs or testing conditions are adopted, conflicting carbonation results are often reported. The RILEM TC 281-CCC ‘Carbonation of Concrete with Supplementary Cementitious Materials’ has conducted a critical analysis of the standardised testing methodologies that are currently applied to determine carbonation resistance of concrete in different regions. There are at least 17 different standards or recommendations being actively used for this purpose, with significant differences in sample curing, pre-conditioning, carbonation exposure conditions, and methods used for determination of carbonation depth after exposure. These differences strongly influence the carbonation depths recorded and the carbonation coefficient values calculated. Considering the importance of accurately determining carbonation potential of concrete, not just for predicting their durability performance, but also for determining the amount of CO2 that concrete can re-absorb during or after its service life, it is imperative to recognise the applicability and limitations of the results obtained from different tests. This will enable researchers and practitioners to adopt the most appropriate testing methodologies to evaluate carbonation resistance, depending on the purpose of the conclusions derived from such testing (e. g. materials selection, service life prediction, CO2 capture potential).

T1 - Influence of salt aggregate on the degradation of hybrid alkaline cement (HAC) concretes in magnesium chloride-rich saline solution simulating evaporite rock N2 - Concretes produced from salt aggregate and hybrid alkaline cements, an alkali-activated slag/fly ash blend, or a Portland cement were exposed to a magnesium chloride-rich saline solution ([Mg2+] = 3.6 m, [Cl−] = 8.3 m), representing a solution formed after contact of surface water with evaporite rock (rock salt) in a nuclear waste repository. The hydration and deterioration of the concretes were studied with X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, pH mapping and permeability measurements. The results show that calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) or sodium-substituted calcium aluminium silicate hydrate (C-N-A-S-H) and Friedel's salt were the major reaction products in the concretes prior to exposure to the saline solution. During exposure to the saline solution, increasing amounts of C-S-H/C-N-A-S-H dissolved, and gypsum and a secondary AFm phase formed. The durability of the concretes improved with increasing amounts of Portland clinker in the cements, due to the associated differences in permeability and chemical resistance. Nevertheless, a massive increase of permeability occurred for all concretes, likely caused by crack formation due to the formation of gypsum from anhydrite in the salt aggregate. Thus, the behavior of the concretes differed from, and was more complex than, the behavior of plain cement pastes.

Key aspects are the detection and evaluation of corrosion processes in reinforced concrete structures as well as the detection and quantification of very low concentrations of toxic gases in air. The adaption of sensor principles from the lab into real-life application including appropriate communication techniques is a major task. In recent years, Structural Health Monitoring have gained in importance, since growing age of buildings and infrastructure as well as increasing load requirements demand for reliable surveillance methods. In this regard, the project follows two strategies: First, the development and implementation of completely embedded sensor systems consisting of RFID-tag and in situ sensors, and their further application potential (e.g. for precast concrete elements, roadways, wind power plants, and maritime structures). Secondly, the development of a long-term stable, miniaturized, fiber optic sensor for a ratiometric and referenced measurement of the pH-value in concrete based on fluorescence detection as an indicator for carbonation and corrosion. Environmental pollution through emission of toxic gases becomes an increasing problem not only in agriculture (e.g. biogas plants) and industry but also in urban areas. This leads to increasing demand to monitor environmental emissions as well as ambient air and industrial air components in many scenarios and in even lower concentrations than nowadays. The selectivity of luminescence-based sensors is enabled by the combination of the sensing dye and the material, which is used as accumulation medium for concentration of the analyte. This principle allows for developing gas sensors with high selectivity and sensitivity of defined substances. Additional benefits, particularly of fluorescence-based sensors, are their capability for miniaturization and potential multiplex mode. Objective is the development and implementation of sensors based on fluorescence detection for defined toxic gases (ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, ozone, and benzene) with sensitivity in the low ppm or even ppb range. Additionally, the integration of such sensors in mobile sensor devices is addressed.

A1 - Otremba, Frank T1 - Insulation Materials Used in Tanks for the Storage of Cryogenic Fluids in Fire Scenarios N2 - The importance of tanks for storing cryogenic fluids in the energy industry is increasing because of ongoing political conflicts and the implementation of more environmentally friendly energy sources. Key representatives for the application of cryogenic tanks are natural gas in the form of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and hydrogen, e. g. in the form of Liquefied Hydrogen (LH2), for which significantly higher transport capacities can be achieved with the same transport volume using cryogenic storages than with storages based solely on overpressure. What applies to all cryogenic transported fluids in common is their condition that must be maintained. Hence heat flows into the preserved fluid must be minimized. Thermal super Insulations (TSI) based on e. g. multilayer insulations (MLI), perlites, and vacuum are utilized for this purpose and have already proven themselves in similar applications. However, for the use of tanks for cryogenic fluids in the transport sector, there is insufficient knowledge regarding the course and consequences of incidents, which is due to the still short period of use and the few documented incidents, hence few investigations carried out in this field. Typical scenarios in the transport sector represent car accidents with collisions, fires, and their combination, which are associated with extraordinary loads on the tank. The focus of this study is to investigate the behavior of TSI as a result of their thermal exposure to a heat source representing a fire. It is worth mentioning that this could lead to an increase of the heat flux into a tank by several orders of magnitude, and to permanent damage of the TSI, ultimately rapid release of flammable gas as well as a Boiling Liquide Expanding Vapour Explosion (BLEVE). For this purpose, a high temperature thermal vacuum chamber (HTTVC) has been developed that allows thermal loading of MLI or perlites in a vacuum and simultaneous measurement of heat flow through this TSI. The HTTVC is designed to represent realistic insulation conditions and to withstand thermal loads from typical design fires. The HTTVC was applied to investigate TSI based on MLI and vacuum. It is shown that the thermal stress caused permanent damage to the TSI, with shrinkage, phase change, pyrolysis, and condensation being significant damage mechanisms. The results are relevant for the evaluation of accident scenarios and can thus contribute to the improvement of TSI and the development of emergency measures for the protection of persons and infrastructures.

Their storage requires tanks with thermal super-insulations to keep them at cryogenic conditions for a long time. These insulation systems have proven itself in various applications over a long time. However, these insulations are still new in land transportation, where accidents involving collisions, fires, and their combination are to be expected. This study summarizes the results of the ongoing research program in which insulations commonly used in industry were analysed through experimental and numerical studies under fire-like conditions. It was found that there are strong differences among the various insulation systems. Several safety concerns and research gaps exists for layered insulations, which are typically used in land transport. To further analyse these insulation systems, a new test concept called Cryogenic High Temperature Thermal Vacuum Chamber (CHTTVC) was developed and manufactured. This concept enables the testing of large insulation samples under industrial conditions and the consideration of cryogenic conditions relevant for the investigation of various phenomena. The results are important for the evaluation of accident scenarios, the improvement of thermal super-insulations, and the development of emergency measures.

T1 - Analysis of high temperature degradation of multi-layer insulation (MLI) systems for liquid hydrogen storage tanks N2 - The interest in hydrogen-based green energy is increasing worldwide, and the same is true for hydrogen-powered vehicles. Among the possible solutions to store hydrogen in such vehicles, cryogenic tanks equipped with multi-layer insulation (MLI) are the most promising to increase the amount of energy stored per unit volume. However, MLI is affected by severe deterioration when exposed to an external source of heat such as a fire following a car accident, leaving the tank unprotected and leading to failure in a relatively short time. In this work, a one-dimensional model to evaluate MLI thermal degradation when a liquid hydrogen tank is exposed to fire is presented. The relevance of taking MLI degradation into account when simulating the pressure increase due to external fire exposure is here demonstrated through the analysis of several case studies. The results show that MLI systems performance depletes within a few minutes of exposure to hydrocarbon poolfire.

First TSI has proven itself in various applications over a long time, but not in the land transport sector, where accidents involving collisions, fires, and their combination are to be expected. To analyze fire scenarios a High-Temperature Thermal Vacuum Chamber (HTTVC) was developed that allows the thermal loading of thermal insulation material in a vacuum and measuring the heat flow through the TSI in parallel. Within this chamber, 5 samples were tested regarding 3 different types of MLI, rock wool, and perlites. In the presentation, the results are presented. Second, the studying of accident scenarios enables the improvement of thermal superinsulation and to find novel insulation concepts. This is necessary for LH2 large-scale storages, for which state-of-the-art solutions are not suitable. Within the presentation, a novel insulation concept will be presented.

Recent tests evidenced that MLI materials may be damaged when exposed to fire, resulting in critical safety issues in the case of accidents. Thus, an innovative approach to the performance assessment of aluminum and polyester-based MLIs for LH2 tanks in fire scenarios was developed. A specific model integrating the hightemperature degradation of MLIs and the thermodynamic modeling of the tank lading was coupled to specific key performance indicators. Results of the analysis applied to a vehicle-scale tank equipped with 80 MLI layers indicate that MLI degradation and consequent tank failure may occur in less than 20 min for external shell temperatures above 1160 K in the presence of full engulfment, regardless of insulation used. Conversely, degradation does not occur earlier than 3600s below 603 and 928 K for polyester and aluminum-based MLI, respectively.

A1 - Tiebe, Carlo A1 - Bartholmai, Matthias T1 - Airborne Remote Gas Sensing and Mapping N2 - Leaking methane (CH4) from infrastructures, such as pipelines and landfills, is critical for the environment but can also pose a safety risk. To enable a fast detection and localization of these kind of leaks, we developed a novel robotic platform for aerial remote gas sensing. Spectroscopic measurement methods for remote sensing of selected gases lend themselves for use on mini-copters, which offer a number of advantages for inspection and surveillance over traditional methods. No direct contact with the target gas is needed and thus the influence of the aerial platform on the measured gas plume can be kept to a minimum. This allows to overcome one of the major issues with gas-sensitive mini-copters. On the other hand, remote gas sensors, most prominently Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) sensors have been too bulky given the payload and energy restrictions of mini-copters. Here, we present the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Remote Gas Sensing (UAV-REGAS), which combines a novel lightweight TDLAS sensor with a 3-axis aerial stabilization gimbal for aiming on a versatile hexacopter. The proposed system can be deployed in scenarios that cannot be addressed by currently available robots and thus constitutes a significant step forward for the field of Mobile Robot Olfaction (MRO). It enables tomographic reconstruction of gas plumes and a localization of gas sources. We also present first results showing its performance under realistic conditions.

Does this also entail new risks for instance from a BLEVE? A key to answer this question is to research representative fires by its characterization and its effect on the insulation. At BAM’s technical test side in Germany, a test series was started to answer this question among others. This paper presents results on a pool fire under a colorimeter, that simulates a tank. The investigation points out, that the full fire characterization approach allows to represent the fire. The findings are relevant for the investigation of a representative design fire that is applicable for the approval and improvement of tanks as well as to research accident scenarios and their consequences.

T1 - Deterioration mechanism of alkali-activated materials in sulfuric acid and the influence of Cu: A micro-to-nano structural, elemental and stable isotopic multi-proxy study N2 - In this study, a multi-proxy approach combining 29Si, 27Al and 1H MAS-NMR, FEG-EPMA, XANES at the Cu K-edge and XRD analytics with hydrochemical tools such as ICP-OES analyses, oxygen-isotope signatures, and thermodynamic modelling was applied to K-silicate-activated metakaolin specimens - with and without CuSO4·5H2O addition - exposed to sulfuric acid at pH = 2 for 35 days. The results revealed a multistage deterioration mechanism governed by (i) acid diffusion, (ii) leaching of K-A-S-H, (iii) microstructural damage related to precipitation of expansive (K,Ca,Al)-sulfate-hydrate phases (iv) complete dissolution of the K-A-S-H framework, (v) and formation of silica gel in the outermost corroded regions. Copper ions were mainly located in layered spertiniite-chrysocolla-like phases in the as-cured materials. The results demonstrate an overall negative effect of Cu addition on chemical material durability, implying that the reported higher durability of Cu-doped AAM in biocorrosion environments can be best explained by bacteriostatic effects.

For comparison, a Portland cement mortar, exposed to 1 M NaCl solution, was studied. The median values of the corrosion‐initiating chloride contents (average over the full length of the rebar) in the alkali‐activated fly ash mortar varied between 0.35 and 1.05 wt% Cl with respect to binder, consistently lower than what was obtained for the Portland cement mortar, but with no clear trend regarding the exposure conditions. For most of the alkali‐activated fly ash mortar specimens, preferential corrosion at the connection between the working electrode and the external measurement setup was observed, while preferential corrosion did not occur for the Portland cement mortar. Scanning electron microscopy and auxiliary experiments in synthetic solutions indicated that this behavior was caused by inhomogeneities at the steel–mortar interface in the alkali‐activated mortar, likely due to its peculiar rheological properties in the fresh state.

Calcined clays range from a variety of different clay types based on an assortment of varying minerals and compositions. While extensive data is available on kaolinitic clays (based on the 1:1 clay type), other clays such as brick clays (based on the 2:1 clay type) are currently understudied, although such clays are largely more available than the kaolinitic clays. The aim of this thesis is to draw attention to the varying compositions present in two selected brick clays in Germany and elaborate on how such compositions affect their suitability to be used as SCMs in blended cement systems. The novelty of this thesis explains the relationship between the reactivity of the bricks to their varying compositions and their suitability for their employment as SCMs. This was based on their chemical and physical transformations in the calcination temperature range 650–900 or 950 °C, and the performance of the calcined brick clays in blended cement systems measured by their heat evolution, strength development and durability-related properties. The results of their performance were compared to two kaolinitic clays with varying compositions. While the kaolinitic clays generally exhibited the best performance as SCMs, the brick clay with a lower Fe2O3 content showed promising results similar to the kaolinitic clays when an optimum calcination temperature is applied and when substituted at a moderate cement substitution rate. Thus, this finding promoted further efforts made to improve the reactivity of the brick clay by producing a mixed clay composed of 50 % brick clay (with lower Fe2O3 content) and 50 % kaolinitic clay. The mixed clay was compared to the two individual brick clays and one kaolinitic clay, whereby optimum calcination conditions were performed in large-scale simulating an industrial-scale production of SCMs. All calcined clays exhibited pozzolanic reactivity, with the performance of the brick clays inferior to the kaolinitic clay, however, the mixed clay performed very similar to the kaolinitic clay. At a similar degree of hydration compared to plain Portland cement, the good performance of the mixed clays was especially evident in the strength development and improved chloride penetration resistance, which was caused by a refinement in the pore structure in the cementitious systems. Moreover, it was deduced that not only the high surface area, but also, the solubility of Si and Al ions in the resulting calcinate of the mixed clays plays a significant role when calcined at ~600–700 °C, which points to viable options for optimal employment of brick clays in cementitious systems. N2 - Die bei der Zementproduktion freigesetzte CO2-Menge und die daraus resultierenden Folgen für das Klima machen die Entwicklung von Zementersatzstoffen mit geringerem CO2-Fußabdruck erforderlich. Als besonders vielversprechend haben sich dabei die kalzinierten Tone erwiesen. Bei diesen handelt es sich um komplexe Systeme, bestehend aus einer Vielzahl verschiedener Tonminerale in variierender Konzentration und Zusammensetzung. Während für kaolinitische Tone (basierend auf 1:1 Tonmineralarten) bereits umfangreiche Daten gesammelt werden konnten, ist der Kenntnisstand zu anderen Tonarten z.B. Ziegeltonen (basierend auf 2:1 Tonmineralarten) derzeit noch unzureichend. Besonders vor dem Hintergrund der erheblich größeren Verfügbarkeit dieser Tonarten stellt dies einen erheblichen Nachteil dar. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, anhand zweier Ziegeltone aus Deutschland, aufzuzeigen welche Auswirkung die unterschiedliche Zusammensetzung der Tone sowohl auf die Reaktivität als auch auf den Einsatz als Zementersatzstoffen in Mischzementsystemen hat. Entsprechende Änderungen in der Zusammensetzung der kalzinierten Tone wurden durch die Variation der Kalzinierungstemperatur im Temperaturbereich zwischen 650 °C und 900 °C bzw. 950 °C und den folglich unterschiedlich ablaufenden chemischen und physikalischen Umwandlungsprozessen der Tonminerale erreicht. Die Leistungsfähigkeit dieser Systeme wurde anhand der Wärme- und Festigkeitsentwicklung sowie den Dauerhaftigkeitseigenschaften bewertet. Als Referenzsysteme dienten zwei 1:1 Tone mit unterschiedlicher Zusammensetzung. Die bei den 1:1 Tonen erzielten Reaktivitäten waren im Vergleich zu den Ziegeltonen zwar höher, aber bei entsprechender Kalzinierungstemperatur und moderater Zementersatzrate konnten auch bei den Ziegeltonen vielversprechende Ergebnisse erzielt werden. Basierend auf diesen Ergebnissen wurden in einem weiteren Schritt Mischtone, bestehend aus kaolinitischem Ton und Ziegelton mit geringerem Fe2O3 Gehalt (50:50), untersucht. Zur Bewertung wurden die zuvor untersuchten Ziegeltone und ein 1:1 Ton herangezogen. Bei allen kalzinierten Tonen konnte die pozzolanische Reaktion nachgewiesen werden, wobei der Ziegelton die geringsten und die 1:1 Tone die höchsten Werte lieferte. Das Mischtonsysteme sind leistungstechnisch bei den 1:1 Tonen einzuordnen. Die strukturverfeinernde Wirkung des Mischtons beim Einsatz als Zementersatz in Portlandzementsystemen führte sowohl bei der Festigkeitsentwicklung als auch beim Chlorideindringwiderstand zu einer Leistungssteigerung. Zudem konnte gezeigt werden, dass nicht nur die große spezifische Oberfläche, sondern auch die hohe Löslichkeit der Si- und Al-Ionen in den Kalzinaten der bei ~600-700 °C kalzinierten Mischtone einen großen Einfluss hat und den Einsatz der Ziegeltone in zementären Systemen begünstigt. Die Möglichkeit zur Herstellung von Zementersatzstoffen im industriellen Maßstab konnte durch Versuche im Großmaßstab ebenfalls nachgewiesen werden.

Chloride binding isotherms of individual hydrate phases would be required to model chloride ingress but are only scarcely available and partly conflicting. The present study by RILEM TC 283-CAM ‘Chloride transport in alkali-activated materials’ significantly extends the available database and resolves some of the apparent contradictions by determining the chloride binding isotherms of layered double hydroxides (LDH), including AFm phases (monosulfate, strätlingite, hydrotalcite, and meixnerite), and of alkali-activated slags (AAS) produced with four different activators (Na2SiO3, Na2O·1.87SiO2, Na2CO3, and Na2SO4), in NaOH/NaCl solutions at various liquid/solid ratios. Selected solids after chloride binding were analysed by X-ray diffraction, and thermodynamic modelling was applied to simulate the phase changes occurring during chloride binding by the AFm phases. The results of the present study show that the chloride binding isotherms of LDH/AFm phases depend strongly on the liquid/solid ratio during the experiments. This is attributed to kinetic restrictions, which are, however, currently poorly understood. Chloride binding by AAS pastes is only moderately influenced by the employed activator. A steep increase of the chloride binding by AAS occurs at free chloride concentrations above approx. 1.0 M, which is possibly related to chloride binding by the C–(N–)A–S–H gel in the AAS.

T1 - Alkali-aktivierte Hüttensandbetone – CO2-reduzierte Bindemittel mit hohem Korrosionsschutzpotential N2 - Durch den Ersatz von Portlandzement können alkali-aktivierte Bindemittel einen bedeutenden Beitrag zur Verringerung der durch die Zementklinkerherstellung verursachten CO2-Emissionen leisten. Für die Verwendung von alkali-aktivierten Bindemitteln in Stahlbetonkonstruktionen, die Chloriden oder Carbonatisierung ausgesetzt sind, ist die Fähigkeit des Stahls, den passiven Zustand zu erreichen und aufrechtzuerhalten, von großer Bedeutung. Die Prozesse der Deckschichtbildung von Stahl in alkali-aktivierten Materialien unterscheiden sich jedoch zum Teil grundlegend von denen in Portlandzementen. Alkali-aktivierte Hüttensandbetone weisen gute technische Eigenschaften auf, bisher fehlen jedoch grundlegende Kenntnisse bzgl. ihrer schützenden Wirkung bei korrosiven Angriffen. Dies ist vor allem auf ihre sulfidhaltige Porenlösung zurückzuführen, welche die elektrochemischen Eigenschaften der Stahloberfläche beeinflusst und die Verwendung herkömmlicher Bewertungsmaßstäbe erschwert. Es werden erste Ergebnisse eines DFG-Forschungsprojektes vorgestellt, in dem das Passivierungsverhalten von Stahl in alkali-aktivierten Hüttensandmörteln unterschiedlicher Zusammensetzungen sowie in Mörteln auf Basis hüttensandhaltiger Normzemente untersucht wird.

T1 - RILEM TC 247-DTA round robin test: sulfate resistance, alkali-silica reaction and freeze–thaw resistance of alkali-activated concretes N2 - The RILEM technical committee TC 247-DTA ‘Durability Testing of Alkali-Activated Materials’ conducted a round robin testing programme to determine the validity of various durability testing methods, originally developed for Portland cement based-concretes, for the assessment of the durability of alkali-activated concretes. The outcomes of the round robin tests evaluating sulfate resistance, alkali-silica reaction (ASR) and freeze–thaw resistance are presented in this contribution. Five different alkali-activated concretes, based on ground granulated blast furnace slag, fly ash, or metakaolin were investigated. The extent of sulfate damage to concretes based on slag or fly ash seems to be limited when exposed to an Na2SO4 solution. The mixture based on metakaolin showed an excessive, very early expansion, followed by a dimensionally stable period, which cannot be explained at present. In the slag-based concretes, MgSO4 caused more expansion and visual damage than Na2SO4; however, the expansion limits defined in the respective standards were not exceeded. Both the ASTM C1293 and RILEM AAR-3.1 test methods for the determination of ASR expansion appear to give essentially reliable identification of expansion caused by highly reactive aggregates. Alkali-activated materials in combination with an unreactive or potentially expansive aggregate were in no case seen to cause larger expansions; only the aggregates of known very high reactivity were seen to be problematic. The results of freeze–thaw testing (with/without deicing salts) of alkali-activated concretes suggest an important influence of the curing conditions and experimental conditions on the test outcomes, which need to be understood before the tests can be reliably applied and interpreted.

T1 - Mechanisms of passivation and chloride-induced corrosion of mild steel in sulfide-containing alkaline solutions N2 - The pore fluid within many concretes is highly alkaline and rich in reduced sulfur species, but the influence of such alkaline-sulfide solutions on the surface film formed on steel reinforcement is poorly understood. This study investigates the critical role of HS− in defining mild steel passivation chemistry. The surface film formed on the steel in alkaline-sulfide solutions contains Fe(OH)2 and Fe–S complexes, and the critical chloride concentration to induce corrosion increases at high sulfide concentration. However, this behavior is dependent on the duration of exposure of the steel to the electrolyte, and the nature of the sulfidic surface layer.

T1 - RILEM TC 247-DTA round robin test: carbonation and chloride penetration testing of alkali-activated concretes N2 - Many standardised durability testing methods have been developed for Portland cement-based concretes, but require validation to determine whether they are also applicable to alkali-activated materials. To address this question, RILEM TC 247-DTA ‘Durability Testing of Alkali-Activated Materials’ carried out round robin testing of carbonation and chloride penetration test methods, applied to five different alkali-activated concretes based on fly ash, blast furnace slag or metakaolin. The methods appeared overall to demonstrate an intrinsic precision comparable to their precision when applied to conventional concretes. The ranking of test outcomes for pairs of concretes of similar binder chemistry was satisfactory, but rankings were not always reliable when comparing alkali-activated concretes based on different precursors. Accelerated carbonation testing gave similar results for fly ash-based and blast furnace slag-based alkali-activated concretes, whereas natural carbonation testing did not. Carbonation of concrete specimens was observed to have occurred already during curing, which has implications for extrapolation of carbonation testing results to longer service life periods. Accelerated chloride penetration testing according to NT BUILD 443 ranked the tested concretes consistently, while this was not the case for the rapid chloride migration test. Both of these chloride penetration testing methods exhibited comparatively low precision when applied to blast furnace slag-based concretes which are more resistant to chloride ingress than the other materials tested.

However, concretes based on blended cements or magnesium oxychloride cements, which are commonly considered for this application, can deteriorate severely due to a significant heat of hydration and associated deformation and cracking. Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) offer a potential solution to this problem because of their low heat release during hardening. To explore their suitability for the construction of sealing structures in evaporite rock, various AAMs with salt aggregate were studied regarding fresh properties, heat release, mechanical properties and microstructure. The heat of reaction of the AAMs was up to 55% lower than that of a blended cement designed for sealing structures, indicating significant benefits for the intended application. Other relevant properties such as mechanical strength and permeability depended strongly on the mix-design of the AAMs and curing conditions.

However, slag-based mortars, in particular, are prone to shrinkage and associated cracks. In this respect, the application of steel fibres is one solution to reduce the formation of shrinkage induced cracks and to improve post cracking behaviour of these mortars. This study investigated the influence of two different types of steel fibres on the tensile properties of two alkali-activated mortars. Direct tensile tests and single fibre pull-outs were performed to analyse the determining failure modes both on macro and micro scale. Mechanical testing was accompanied by non-destructive testing methods such as digital image correlation and acoustic emission for a detailed analysis of the fracture process.

T1 - On the benefits of vegetable oil addition for the pore structure and acid resistance of alkali-activated systems N2 - The impact of high additions of vegetable oil (12 vol%) on the mechanical and microstructural properties of metakaolin-slag-based alkali-activated materials (AAMs) was studied. The addition of oil resulted in a slight decrease in initial polymerization kinetics but did not affect the final degree of reaction. AAM-oil-composite-mortars exhibited approximately ∼30% lower compressive strength primarily due to the entrainment of air voids. Newly formed soap phases significantly reduced the volume of small capillary and gel pores (pore radii <15 nm), leading to a decrease in specific inner surface area by a factor of up to 15. The porosity modification induced by the oil addition greatly enhanced the resistance of AAMs against sulfuric acid attack, shifting the dominant processes from diffusion and cracks to framework-dissolution controlled by the inherent phase stabilities. Following the immersion in sulfuric acid (pHstat = 2) for 8 weeks, the depth of corroded layer decreased by 70% and no cracks due to expansive phases were observed. These promising findings suggest that the incorporation of vegetable oil in AAMs has the potential to address durability concerns associated with diffusion-based corrosion processes, thereby expanding the range of future applications.

A1 - Gluth, Gregor T1 - Application of electrochemical methods for studying steel corrosion in alkali-activated materials N2 - Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) are binders that can complement and partially substitute the current use of conventional cement. However, the present knowledge about how AAMs protect steel reinforcement in concrete elements is incomplete, and uncertainties exist regarding the application of electrochemical methods to investigate this issue. The present review by EFC WP11-Task Force ‘Corrosion of steel in alkali-activated materials’ demonstrates that important differences exist between AAMs and Portland cement, and between different classes of AAMs, which are mainly caused by differing pore solution compositions, and which affect the outcomes of electrochemical measurements. The high sulfide concentrations in blast furnace slag-based AAMs lead to distinct anodic polarisation curves, unusually low open circuit potentials, and low polarisation resistances, which might be incorrectly interpreted as indicating active corrosion of steel reinforcement. No systematic study of the influence of the steel–concrete interface on the susceptibility of steel to corrosion in AAMs is available. Less common electrochemical methods present an opportunity for future progress in the field.

T1 - Report of RILEM TC 281-CCC: insights into factors affecting the carbonation rate of concrete with SCMs revealed from data mining and machine learning approaches N2 - The RILEM TC 281–CCC ‘‘Carbonation of concrete with supplementary cementitious materials’’ conducted a study on the effects of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) on the carbonation rate of blended cement concretes and mortars. In this context, a comprehensive database has been established, consisting of 1044 concrete and mortar mixes with their associated carbonation depth data over time. The dataset comprises mix designs with a large variety of binders with up to 94% SCMs, collected from the literature as well as unpublished testing reports. The data includes chemical composition and physical properties of the raw materials, mix-designs, compressive strengths, curing and carbonation testing conditions. Natural carbonation was recorded for several years in many cases with both indoor and outdoor results. The database has been analysed to investigate the effects of binder composition and mix design, curing and preconditioning, and relative humidity on the carbonation rate. Furthermore, the accuracy of accelerated carbonation testing as well as possible correlations between compressive strength and carbonation resistance were evaluated. One approach to summerise the physical and chemical resistance in one parameter is the ratio of water content to content of carbonatable CaO (w/CaOreactive ratio). The analysis revealed that the w/CaOreactive ratio is a decisive factor for carbonation resistance, while curing and exposure conditions also influence carbonation. Under natural exposure conditions, the carbonation data exhibit significant variations. Nevertheless, probabilistic inference suggests that both accelerated and natural carbonation processes follow a square-root-of-time behavior, though accelerated and natural carbonation cannot be converted into each other without corrections. Additionally, a machine learning technique was employed to assess the influence of parameters governing the carbonation progress in concretes.

A1 - Radnik, Jörg T1 - Enrichment of aluminium in the near‐surface region of natural quartzite rock after aluminium exposure N2 - Alkali–silica reaction (ASR) is an ongoing problem that causes damage to concrete constructions and reduces their durability. Therefore, minimizing this undesired reaction is of great interest for both safety and economic reasons. Additives containing high aluminium content are very effective in reducing the release of silica and enhancing the durability of concrete; however, the mechanism for this effect is still under discussion. In this study, an enrichment of aluminium in the near‐surface region was observed for natural quartzite rock after storage in Al (OH)3 and metakaolin as aluminium sources, from which we conclude that the formation of aluminosilicate sheets of a few nanometres inhibits the silica release; this hypothesis is supported by high‐resolution spectra of Al 2p, Si 2p and O 1s.

Large flow rates of hazardous substances imply that even smallest leakages can lead to high environmental impacts. Therefore, and to ensure the availability of infrastructure, an early detection and localization of potentially hazardous degradations to the walls (e.g. cracks, pittings, sedimentation, etc.) of the containments is necessary. However, in many cases it is not feasible to equip pipelines with a large number of point sensors at reasonable expense. The principle of distributed fibre optic sensing relies on one single optical fibre, which simultaneously acts as a spatially continuous sensor as well as the signal transducer. Therefore, extensive structures can be provided with this type of sensor with comparatively low efforts. As a consequence, monitoring oil and gas pipelines using distributed fibre optic sensors is on the upswing. Besides the established methods to measure temperature and strain, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) has lately received considerable attention as a means to detect and localize third party threats to pipelines (approach of vehicles, digging, mechanical manipulation). The so far not utilized potential of DAS as a means for continuous condition monitoring of pipes by detecting and localizing acoustic signals that point to certain damage scenarios, is currently under investigation in an interdisciplinary research project at BAM (AGIFAMOR, Ageing Infrastructures – Fibre Optic Monitoring of Pipes). In order to qualify distributed acoustic fibre optic sensors for this application area, we especially focus on detecting and identifying the relevant acoustic emissions of interesting degradations as well as on the optimal way of application of the optical fibres to the specimen to achieve an optimal signal transmission of acoustic signals.

Ageing infrastructures – distributed acoustic monitoring of pipes” is an interdisciplinary research project at BAM internally financed from 2015 to 2018. Therefore, the quite young fibre optic sensing technology of distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) was investigated to possibly be extended towards a global condition monitoring system for pipelines operating in real time. DAS is a highly dynamic fibre optic sensing technology based on the method of coherent optical time domain reflectometry (C-OTDR). DAS allows capturing strain changes in the range of kHz. For the experimental work, the most suitable application yielding an optimum sensitivity was proven by wrapping a standard single-mode silica fibre around the pipe. The DAS sensitivity was investigated regarding the detection of 1) incidents that initiate propagation of acoustic waves in the pipe wall, 2) changes inside the pipeline causing altered flow and 3) damage development in the pipe wall. Therefore, several testing setups in laboratory as well as in real scale were realized. For comparison purposes, experiments were accompanied by acoustic emission analyses and by measurements with accelerometers. DAS was found to be very sensitive to gas ignition and its propagation across the pipe. Furthermore, the ability of DAS to detect and localize acoustic signals associated with pipeline leakage was demonstrated. The detection of crack formation and propagation within the pipe wall by means of DAS was studied during bending tests on several pipe segments, but was not proven so far with certainty. As expected, these studies turned out as the most difficult challenge due to the random occurrence and transient nature of microscopic damage phenomena.

Mit dem interdisziplinären Forschungsprojekt AGIFAMOR (Ageing Infrastructures – Akustisches Monitoring von Rohrleitungen) arbeitet die BAM an der Entwicklung und Erprobung einer örtlich und zeitlich kontinuierlichen Zustandsüberwachung von Rohrleitungen basierend auf einem faseroptischen akustischen Messsystem, welches einen vergleichsweise geringen Installationsaufwand der Sensoren erfordert. Mit diesem Verfahren sollen vor allem betriebsbedingte Schädigungen infolge von Korrosion sowie daraus entstehende Pittings oder Risse erkannt und damit Leckagen verhindert werden. Im Rahmen einer Machbarkeitsstudie zum Teilaspekt „Detektion von Risswachstum“ wurde ein 2,5 m langes, definiert vorgekerbtes Stahlrohr mit der faseroptischen Sensorik (FOS) ausgestattet und quasistatisch unter 4-Punkt-Biegung belastet. Mit fortschreitender Belastung wächst, ausgehend vom vorhandenen Außenumfangskerb, ein Riss im Stahlrohr bis zum Erreichen der Leckage – in der Praxis ein gefährliches Schadensszenario.

T1 - Evaluation of ultrasonic signals collected from laboratory concrete specimens: Preprocessing and analysis with coda wave interferometry N2 - Efficient maintenance of infrastructure relies on monitoring and assessment of its condition. New technologies and methods thereby enable a deeper understanding of the materials used and of the structures built. Coda Wave Interferometry (CWI) is currently explored for continuous monitoring of reinforced concrete structures as well as material testing. This ultrasound-based method is sensitive to even small material alterations and therefore suitable for the detection of initial damage stages. Herein, a step-by-step procedure for the evaluation of ultrasonic signals with CWI methods is presented. The described procedure is proposed for ultrasonic signals collected with embedded ultrasonic transducers with a center frequency of 50 kHz to 70 kHz from prism-shaped concrete specimen with dimensions of 400 mm x 100 mm x 100 mm. The raw ultrasonic signal, preprocessing and CWI analysis are described and influences of parameters within the analysis are discussed. The presented procedure allows systematic and comparable analysis of ultrasonic signals generated with similar conditions and therefore contributes to the application of CWI methods for structural health monitoring and material testing.

T1 - Drone-Based Localization of Hazardous Chemicals by Passive Smart Dust N2 - The distribution of tiny sensors over a specific area was first proposed in the late 1990s as a concept known as Smart Dust. Several efforts focused primarily on computing and networking capabilities but quickly ran into problems related to power supply, cost, data transmission, and environmental pollution. To overcome these limitations, we propose using paper-based (confetti-like) chemosensors that exploit the inherent selectivity of chemical reagents, such as colorimetric indicators. In this work, cheap and biodegradable passive sensors made from cellulose could successfully indicate the presence of hazardous chemicals, e.g., strong acids, by a significant color change. A conventional color digital camera attached to a drone could easily detect this from a safe distance. The collected data was processed to define the hazardous area. Our work presents a combination of the smart dust concept, chemosensing, paper-based sensor technology, and low-cost drones for flexible, sensitive, economical, and rapid detection of hazardous chemicals in high-risk scenarios. N2 - Die Verteilung winziger Sensoren über ein bestimmtes Gebiet wurde erstmals Ende der 1990er Jahre als Konzept namens „Smart Dust“ vorgeschlagen. Mehrere Bemühungen konzentrierten sich hauptsächlich auf Rechen- und Netzwerkfähigkeiten, stießen jedoch schnell auf Probleme im Zusammenhang mit der Stromversorgung, den Kosten, der Datenübertragung und der Umweltverschmutzung. Um diese Einschränkungen zu überwinden, schlagen wir die Verwendung von papierbasierten (konfettiartigen) Chemosensoren vor, die die inhärente Selektivität chemischer Reagenzien, wie z. B. kolorimetrischer Indikatoren, nutzen. In dieser Arbeit konnten günstige und biologisch abbaubare passive Sensoren aus Zellulose erfolgreich das Vorhandensein gefährlicher Chemikalien, z.B. starker Säuren, durch eine deutliche Farbänderung anzeigen. Eine herkömmliche Farb-Digitalkamera, die an einer Drohne befestigt ist, konnte dies aus sicherer Entfernung leicht erkennen. Die gesammelten Daten wurden verarbeitet, um den Gefahrenbereich zu abzugrenzen. Unsere Arbeit stellt eine Kombination aus dem Smart-Dust-Konzept, Chemosensorik, papierbasierter Sensortechnologie und kostengünstigen Drohnen für eine flexible, empfindliche, wirtschaftliche und schnelle Erkennung gefährlicher Chemikalien in Hochrisikoszenarien dar.

Understanding how this energy is absorbed and ultimately causes a chemical transformation is essential for understanding the elementary stages of mechanochemical transformations. Using as a model system the energetic material LiN3 we here consider how vibrational energy flows through the crystal structure. By considering the compression response of the crystalline material we identify the partitioning of energy into an initial vibrational excitation. Subsequent energy flow is based on concepts of phonon–phonon scattering, which we calculate within a quasi-equilibrium model facilitated by phonon scattering data obtained from Density Functional Theory (DFT). Using this model we demonstrate how the moments (picoseconds) immediately following mechanical impact lead to significant thermal excitation of crystalline LiN3, sufficient to drive marked changes in its electronic structure and hence chemical reactivity. This work paves the way towards an ab initio approach to studying elementary processes in mechanochemical reactions involving crystalline solids.

T1 - Development of a sample preparation procedure for Sr isotope analysis of Portland cements N2 - The 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratio can, in principle, be used for provenancing of cement. However, while commercial cements consist of multiple components, no detailed investigation into their individual 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios or their influence on the integral 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratio of the resulting cement was conducted previously. Therefore, the present study aimed at determining and comparing the conventional 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios of a diverse set of Portland cements and their corresponding Portland clinkers, the major component of these cements. Two approaches to remove the additives from the cements, i.e. to measure the conventional 87Sr/86Sr isotopic fingerprint of the clinker only, were tested, namely, treatment with a potassium hydroxide/sucrose solution and sieving on a 11-µm sieve. Dissolution in concentrated hydrochloric acid/nitric acid and in diluted nitric acid was employed to determine the 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios of the cements and the individual clinkers. The aim was to find the most appropriate sample preparation procedure for cement provenancing, and the selection was realised by comparing the 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios of differently treated cements with those of the corresponding clinkers. None of the methods to separate the clinkers from the cements proved to be satisfactory. However, it was found that the 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios of clinker and cement generally corresponded, meaning that the latter can be used as a proxy for the clinker 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratio. Finally, the concentrated hydrochloric acid/nitric acid dissolution method was found to be the most suitable sample preparation method for the cements; it is thus recommended for 87Sr/86Sr isotope analyses for cement provenancing.

We report on initial experimental results as well as on the simple and cost-effective fabrication of this optofluidic system by means of micro-milling.
