TY - VIDEO T1 - Bio-based concrete - Materials innovation for sustainable future construction N2 - Concrete is typically perceived as a grey material that is relatively cheap and easy to use for mass application. The global relevance of concrete is often ignored despite its tremendous environmental, economic, and social impact. Construction materials are a major impact on the climate change, but building is inevitable for social and economic development. Therefore, it is important to develop more sustainable materials to build habitat and infrastructures. A reasonable approach to build more sustainably with concrete is to use agricultural by-products as chemical or fibrous performance enhancers and/or as replacement of cement in the binder.

Die globale Relevanz von Beton wird trotz seiner enormen ökologischen, wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Bedeutung oft ignoriert. Baustoffe sind ein großer Einflussfaktor für den Klimawandel, aber Bauen ist für die soziale und wirtschaftliche Entwicklung unvermeidlich. Daher ist es wichtig, nachhaltigere Materialien zu entwickeln, um Lebensräume und Infrastrukturen zu schaffen.

Both semi-crystalline PE-HD are common thermoplastic materials for container and storage tank applications. Biodiesel, a composition of unsaturated fatty acid esters from renewable resources, was chosen as it is regarded a possible green alternative to fossil fuels. The study aims at identifying significant differences between biodiesel and conventional diesel fuels based on the differences in the chemical nature of the two. The physical effects of the fuels on the polymer at first comprises the sorption behavior, i.e. kinetics and final equilibrium concentration. Not only are both fuels absorbed by the amorphous phase of the semi-crystalline PE-HD, they also induce a plasticization effect that modifies the molecular mobility and therefore also the characteristic yielding properties, manifest in the obtained stress-strain curves. The chemical effects related to degradation phenomena is investigated by a long-term storage scenario using partially immersed tensile test specimens in diesel and biodiesel. We were able to confirm the proposed co-oxidation mechanism by Richaud et al. for polyethylene-unsaturated penetrant systems on a larger scale based on practical tensile tests. One of the investigated polyethylene grades subjected to tensile drawing showed a significant loss of plastic deformation and the onset of premature failure after 150 days of storage in biodiesel. Further biodiesel storage showed a systematically reduced elongation at break before necking. None of these effects were observed in diesel. Oxidation of fuels and polymer after progressing storage times were analyzed by the evolution of carbonyl species in FT-IR/ATR spectroscopy.

T1 - Energy harvesting near room temperature using a thermomagnetic generator with a pretzel-like magnetic flux topology N2 - To date, there are very few technologies available for the conversion of low-temperature waste heat into electricity. Thermomagnetic generators are one approach proposed more than a century ago. Such devices are based on a cyclic change of magnetization with temperature. This switches a magnetic flux and, according to Faraday’s law, induces a voltage. Here we demonstrate that guiding the magnetic flux with an appropriate topology of the magnetic circuit improves the performance of thermomagnetic generators by orders of magnitude. Through a combination of experiments and simulations, we show that a pretzel-like topology results in a sign reversal of the magnetic flux. This avoids the drawbacks of previous designs, namely, magnetic stray fields, hysteresis and complex geometries of the thermomagnetic material. Our demonstrator, which is based on magnetocaloric plates, illustrates that this solid-state energy conversion technology presents a key step towards becoming competitive with thermoelectrics for energy harvesting near room temperature.

It is therefore necessary to understand the mechanisms, rates, and potential means of transport, as well as the reactions of these elements with an alloy. This paper investigates the effect of water vapor in the initial stages of SO2 corrosion of an Fe-9Cr-0.5Mn model alloy at 650°C in situ under laboratory conditions using energy-dispersive x-ray diffraction analysis. Two separate experiments were run, one with a 99.5% Ar + 0.5% SO2 atmosphere and one with a 69.5% Ar + 0.5% SO2 + 30% H2O atmosphere. With a wet atmosphere, the alloy formed a scale with decreasing oxygen content towards the scale–alloy interface. Sulfides were identified above and below a (Fe, Cr)3O4 layer in the inner corrosion zone. In contrast to this, the overall scale growth was slower in a dry SO2 atmosphere.

T1 - A sampling-based approach to identifying optimal inspection and repair strategies for offshore jacket structures N2 - Identifying optimal inspection and repair strategies for offshore jacket structures is a challenging task. We pre-sent an approach, which is based on recent developments in the field of risk-based operation and maintenance planning at the structural system level. The approach utilizes heuristics to define inspection and repair strate-gies at the system level and to reduce the search space of possible strategies. For each defined strategy, the expected service life cost of inspection, repair and failure is evaluated based on simulated inspection and re-pair histories. Subset simulation is applied to compute the conditional repair and failure probabilities required for this analysis. It also forms the basis for simulating inspection and repair histories. The strategy that mini-mizes the expected service life cost is the optimal one in the set of pre-selected strategies. The underlying condition and performance model accounts for the stochastic dependence among the deterioration states of the different structural elements and the structural redundancy. The approach is demonstrated in a case study considering a jacket-type frame. In this study, we essentially vary the inspection interval, the minimum num-ber of inspected components and the target reliability, and identify the combination that minimizes the ex-pected total service life cost.

T1 - Halophilic methylotrophic methanogens may contribute to the high ammonium concentrations found in shale oil and shale gas reservoirs N2 - Flow-back and produced waters from shale gas and shale oil fields contain high ammonium, which can be formed by methanogenic degradation of methylamines into methane and ammonium. Methylamines are added to fracturing fluid to prevent clay swelling or can originate from metabolism of the osmolyte triglycinebetaine (GB). We analyzed field samples from a shale gas reservoir in the Duvernay Formation and from a shale oil reservoir in the Bakken formation in Canada to determine the origin of high ammonium. Fresh waters used to make fracturing fluid, early flow-back waters, and late flow back waters from the shale gas reservoir had increasing salinity of 0.01, 0.58, and 2.66 Meq of NaCl, respectively. Microbial community analyses reflected this fresh water to saline transition with halophilic taxa including Halomonas, Halanaerobium, and Methanohalophilus being increasingly present. Early and late flow-back waters had high ammonium concentrations of 32 and 15 mM, respectively. Such high concentrations had also been found in the Bakken produced waters. Enrichment cultures of Bakken produced waters in medium containing mono, di-, or trimethylamine, or triglycinebetaine (GB) converted these substrates into ammonium (up to 20 mM) and methane. The methylotrophic methanogen Methanohalophilus, which uses methylamines for its energy metabolism and uses GB as an osmolyte, was a dominant community member in these enrichments. Halanaerobium was also a dominant community member that metabolizes GB into trimethylamine, which is then metabolized further by Methanohalophilus. However, the micromolar concentrations of GB measured in shale reservoirs make them an unlikely source for the 1,000-fold higher ammonium concentrations in flow-back waters. This ammonium either originates directly from the reservoir or is formed from methylamines, which originate from the reservoir, or are added during the hydraulic fracturing process. These methylamines are then converted into ammonium and methane by halophilic methylotrophic methanogens, such as Methanohalophilus, present in flow-back waters.

The ANNs are trained with synthetic data to predict signal shifts from wavelength scans. Domain adaptation to measurement data is achieved, and standard correlation algorithms are outperformed. First and foremost, the ANN reduces the data analysis time by more than two orders of magnitude, making it possible for the first time to predict strain in real-time applications using the WS-COTDR approach. Further, strain noise and linearity of the sensor response are improved, resulting in more accurate measurements. ANNs also perform better for low signal-to-noise measurement data, for a reduced length of correlation input (i.e., extended distance range), and for coarser sampling settings (i.e., extended strain scanning range). The general applicability is demonstrated for distributed measurement of ground movement along a dark fiber in a telecom cable. The presented ANN-based techniques can be employed to improve the performance of a wide range of correlation or interpolation problems in fiber sensing data analysis and beyond.

T1 - Nanosecond laser-induced interference grating formation on silicon N2 - The formation of gratings on the surface of a silicon wafer by nanosecond laser irradiation through a phase mask using an ArF laser emitting at 193 nm is studied. The phase mask along with some focusing optics is capable to generate via interference a periodic intensity distribution, which can be used for surface patterning. The surface patterning strongly depends on the laser energy density and on the number of pulses, as revealed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results show that irradiation even with a single laser pulse produces periodic depth modulations on the surface. The spatial surface modulation is in the micrometer (1.7 µm) range while the depth modulation is in the nanometer regime (1–20 nm). With an increasing number of pulses (1–100), the depth modulation amplitude increases smoothly. Increasing the number of pulses further results in the progressive destruction of the grating, vanishing completely after ~5000 pulses. This evolution is also monitored in situ by measuring the intensity of the first order-diffracted probe beam and the behavior is in accordance with what is observed by AFM. Finally, we qualitatively explain the results invoking thermally induced effects in the melted Si: these physical processes involved are probably thermocapillary and/or Marangoni effects inducing material displacement as the surface melts.

A1 - Krankenhagen, Rainer T1 - Optimizing thermographic testing of thick GFRP plates by assessing the real energy absorbed within the material N2 - Active thermography is a well suited non-destructive testing method for the challenging inspection of wind rotor blades. Since the GFRP structures are up to some centimetres thick, long pulse heating is required to provide an appropriate energy input into the structure. So far, no best practice exists to guarantee a reliable detection of deep-lying flaws. In this work, a step wedge specimen having a maximum thickness of 34mm is systematically investigated by experiment and well-matched simulations to assess the influence of the experimental parameters, like the absorbed energy, on thermal contrasts. Finally, a scheme to conduct full-scale test of a wind rotor blade in less than three hours is proposed.

The first lecture presents a brief introduction to the context and peculiarities of such foundations, and then focuses on the particular case of axially loaded piles. This part is most relevant for the relatively slender piles of the multi-pile substructures (i.e. jackets and tripods). A clear distinction between physical phenomenology and practical design is drawn here. The second lecture continues with the case of lateraly loaded offshore piles, which bears most relevance for the case of the monopile foundations. Here again, a clear separation between physical reality and design methods is intended. Finally, the last part of the second lecture introduces several advanced topics which lie outside the classical design approaches, namely the hydromechanical coupling effects (i.e. the excess pore-pressure generation around the monopiles), the cyclic pile fatigue and the so-called pile Setup (i.e. the time effects on the axial pile capacity). The relevance of the latter two topics is illustrated with experimental results from a field testing campaign on real large-scale piles.

T1 - Storing spent fuel until transport to reprocessing or disposal N2 - Spent fuel storage periods well beyond those originally foreseen are a reality. This publication offers several ideas and approaches that may be considered to address the increasingly longer storage times. The aim is to raise awareness, encourage dialogue and provide ideas on how to manage spent fuel. Key messages include the following: - Delays in reprocessing or disposal could result in spent fuel being stored for 100 years or longer. Safe, secure and effective storage of spent fuel manages fuel degradation while preserving future fuel cycle options. - Ageing management programmes apply engineering, operations and maintenance actions to ensure safety is maintained during storage, future handling and transport. - Site selection and facility and equipment design can significantly reduce the risks and costs of spent fuel storage over longer periods. - Spent fuel storage configurations can be selected to accommodate uncertain storage periods, to facilitate ageing management and to provide flexibility needed to accommodate the uncertainty of future end points, such as reprocessing or disposal. - By considering multiple licence renewals, regulatory frameworks can be designed to ensure safe storage until an acceptable end point is achieved. - Safety can be assured by maintaining shielding, containment, decay heat removal and criticality control. Navigating the complexity of societal beliefs and values, as well as political systems, has proven to be a greater challenge for the management of spent fuel than maintaining its safety and security or addressing the technical and economic aspects. - Sustainable spent fuel management requires policies and strategies to provide a clear, consistent and stable direction because they drive the need for spent fuel storage as well as the available options and timing for achieving an acceptable end point. Unless States address spent fuel reprocessing and disposal on a sufficient scale to accommodate their spent fuel discharges, then storage for longer and longer periods becomes the de facto end point — which is not considered to be consistent with the responsibility to protect human health and the environment. An effective, periodic licence renewal process can ensure effective ageing management and strong institutional control. Hence, spent fuel can be safely and securely stored for as long as it may be necessary until transport for reprocessing or disposal. However, the risks and costs of storing the growing inventory of spent fuel will continue to increase; and in the absence of an end point, it will eventually become a significant societal burden.

A1 - Simo, Anne T1 - Fixing efficiency values by unfixing compressor speed: Dynamic test method for heat pumps N2 - The growing market penetration of heat pumps indicates the need for a performance test method that better reflects the dynamic behavior of heat pumps. In this contribution, we developed and implemented a dynamic test method for the evaluation of the seasonal performance of heat pumps by means of laboratory testing. Current standards force the heat pump control inactive by fixing the compressor speed. In contrast, during dynamic testing, the compressor runs unfixed while the heat pump is subjected to a temperature profile. The profile consists of the different outdoor temperatures of a typical heating season based on the average European climate and also includes temperature changes to reflect the dynamic behavior of the heat pump.

T1 - The Effect of Copper Vacancies on the Anion Position of Chalcopyrite Type CuGaS2 N2 - The prediction of structural parameters and optoelectronic properties of compound semiconductors is very important. However, calculations often neglect chemical variability and structural defects. In chalcopyrite type semiconductors one of the major defects are copper vacancies (V Cu). The four cation neighbors of the anion determine its position in the chalcopyrite type structure expressed by the Wyckoff position 8d (x, 1/4, 1/8). Intrinsic point defects like V Cu and anti-sites may cause variations of the Anion position in the middle of the cation tetrahedron, especially in the Anion position Parameter x. For stoichiometric chalcopyrite type compounds a formalism according to the principle of conservation of tetrahedral bonds (CTB) can be applied to calculate the anion position parameter, but it fails in the case of off-stoichiometric chalcopyrites. This case study of chalcopyrite type CuGaS 2 and Mn-substituted GuGaS 2 shows that the experimentally determined anion position Parameter x deviate from values calculated by CTB approach. The systematic investigation of off-stoichiometric CuGaS 2 and Mn-substituted GuGaS 2 demonstrates the effect of copper vacancies on the average radii of the cation sites (Wyckoff positions 4a and 4b) as well as on the anion position Parameter x. By applying an elaborated CTB Approach implementing copper vacancies an agreement between experimental and calculated anion position Parameter x can be obtained.

T1 - Anwendung seismischer Abbildungsverfahren auf Ultraschallecho-Daten von Verschlussbauwerken unter Tage N2 - Ein Endlager für radioaktive Abfälle muss auf Dauer vor dem Eindringen von Wasser geschützt werden. Aus diesem Grund errichtete die Bundesgesellschaft für Endlagerung (BGE) ein Verschlussbauwerk als InSitu Versuch im Endlager Morsleben. Hierfür wurde eine bergmännische Auffahrung mit Salzbeton verfüllt. Zusätzliche in regelmäßigen Abständen eingebaute Trennbleche sollen der Ausbreitung eventueller Risse entgegenwirken. Das Versuchsobjekt wurde mit Ultraschallmessungen bezüglich der Lage und Orientierung möglicher Risse untersucht. Diese Messungen wurden an der Stirnfläche des Salzbetonkörpers durchgeführt. Für die Datenakquisition fand ein neuartiges Messsystem Anwendung, mit welchem ein seismisches Akquisitionsschema realisiert werden kann. Dieses setzt sich aus mehreren Prüfköpfen zusammen, welche sowohl als Sender als auch als Empfänger fungieren. Somit lassen sich auch größere Sender-Empfänger-Abstände realisieren. Vor der Bearbeitung der realen Messdaten wurde ein realitätsnahes synthetisches Modell erstellt, mit welchem die Abbildung eines Risses, eines eingebauten Monitoring-Instruments sowie des ersten Trennbleches in einer Tiefe von 8 m untersucht wurden. Die generierten synthetischen Daten wurden nach minimaler Preprozessierung mittels Kirchhoff-Prestack-Tiefenmigration sowie Reverse Time Migration (RTM) in Tiefensektionen umgewandelt. Insbesondere bei der Abbildung steilstehender Reflektoren lieferte die RTM hier ein besseres Ergebnis. Im Anschluss wurden reale Messdaten in der gleichen Weise bearbeitet. Zusätzlich wurden die Ergebnisse mit denen der Synthetic-Aperture-Focusing-Technique (SAFT) verglichen. Dieses Verfahren ist der Kirchhoff-Migration sehr ähnlich und findet in der zerstörungsfreien Werkstoffprüfung routinemäßig Anwendung. Es stellte sich heraus, dass der RTM Algorithmus in einigen Fällen ein realitätsnäheres Abbild liefert. Die Resultate von Kirchhoff-Migrationund SAFT-Rekonstruktion sind hingegen sehr ähnlich. Alle Verfahren lokalisierten in gleicher Weise Risse in verschiedenen Tiefenlagen, welche hauptsächlich oberflächenparallel orientiert sind. Diese werden auch von Bohrungen bestätigt. Besonders herauszustellen ist die deutliche Abbildung des Trennbleches in großer Tiefe, was bisher noch nicht eindeutig gelungen war.

Highly permeable addition-type substituted polynorbornenes with high thermal resistance and chemical stability are among the most promising materials. The major obstacle for extending the practical membrane application is their strong tendency to physical aging, leading to a partial decline in their superior transport performance over time. In the present study, broadband dielectric spectroscopy with complementary X-ray scattering techniques were employed to reveal changes in microporous structure, molecular mobility, and conductivity by systematic comparison of two polynorbornenes with different numbers of trimethylsilyl side groups. Their response upon heating (aging) was compared in terms of structure, dynamics, and charge transport behavior. Furthermore, a detailed analysis of the observed Maxwell−Wagner−Sillars polarization at internal interfaces provides unique information about the microporous structure in the solid films. The knowledge obtained from the experiments will guide and unlock potential in synthesizing addition-type polynorbornenes with versatile properties.

T1 - Experimental and numerical investigations on the effect of fracture geometry and fracture aperture distribution on flow and solute transport in natural fractures N2 - The impact of fracture geometry and aperture distribution on fluid movement and on non-reactive solute transport was investigated experimentally and numerically in single fractures. For this purpose a hydrothermally altered and an unaltered granite drill core with axial fractures were investigated. Using three injection and three extraction locations at top and bottom of the fractured cores, different dipole flow fields were examined. The conservative tracer (Amino-G) breakthrough curves were measured using fluorescence spectroscopy. Based on 3-D digital data obtained by micro-computed tomography 2.5-D numerical models were generated for both fractures by mapping the measured aperture distributions to the 2-D fracture geometries (x-y plane). Fluid flow and tracer transport were simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics®. By means of numerical simulations and tomographic imaging experimentally observed breakthrough curves can be understood and qualitatively reproduced. The experiments and simulations suggest that fluid flow in the altered fracture is governed by the 2-D fracture geometry in the x-y plane, while fluid flow in the unaltered fracture seems to be controlled by the aperture distribution. Moreover, we demonstrate that in our case simplified parallel-plate models fail to describe the experimental findings and that pronounced tailings can be attributed to complex internal heterogeneities. The results presented, implicate the necessity to incorporate complex domain geometries governing fluid flow and mass transport into transport modeling.

Flexible piles in different soils are analysed in frequency domain. The different parameters such as the stiffness of the soil, the bending stiffness and the radius of the hollow pile are analysed for their influence on the complex compliances. The results have been determined as specific power laws which are different for the different load cases (horizontal, rocking, coupling) and for the different soil models (Winkler, continuum with constant, root-parabolic and proportional-linear stiffness variation). The strongest influence of the soil stiffness can be found for the homogeneous soil and the horizontal component. Winkler soils have a weaker influence than the corresponding continuous soils.

T1 - Material qualification in Saline, copper containing geothermal water N2 - By exposure and electrochemical tests in the laboratory the Cu-effect on corrosion behavior of carbon steel, high-alloyed steels and Ti-alloy can be assessed. Critical materials specific properties were determined by static exposure and electrochemical tests in an artificial geothermal water with high salinity and low pH, containing Cu. Conclusions were drawn using characteristic potential values. It could be shown that significant Cu-deposition and -precipitation only occurred in combination with carbon steel. High-alloyed materials (S31603, S31653, S31700, S31703, S31803 and N08904) prevent the disturbing Cu-agglomeration. Therefore, they are suitable to be chosen for future design of the piping system, either in massive or in cladded form, if formation of crevices with non-metallic materials can be excluded.

Modern FOS techniques allow truly temporally- and spatially-continuous monitoring over extended distances; a feature not attainable with any other sensing technology. Moreover, depending on their particular material composition and design, optical fibres can be made resistant to high temperatures, chemicals and ionizing radiation. Due to this unique combination of advantageous properties, ever since their emergence, FOS have been attracting considerable attention for monitoring tasks in harsh, hazardous and difficult-to-access locations. The potential of FOS has been recognized also in the field of radioactive waste management and fibreoptic sensors belong to the most promising technologies for nuclear waste repositories (NWR) monitoring. Vast majority of distributed fibreoptic sensor applications rely on use of silica-based optical fibres as sensing elements. At the same time, distributed measurement of local temperature and strain along the fibre are the most common monitoring tasks addressed by fibreoptic sensors. Nevertheless, FOS offer much larger flexibility both in terms of utilized sensing fibre as well as targeted measurand. In this contribution, we will review some of more alternative implementations of FOS that are being explored at “Fibre Optic Sensors” division of Federal Institute for Material Research and Testing (BAM), in Berlin. The main focus will be twofold. On one side, we will address FOS applications with polymer optical fibres (POF), that may enable monitoring of large strains (>100%) and high-sensitivity radiation detection. On the other side, we will present our activities in the area of distributed acoustic sensing (DAS); one of the most recent developments in the fibreoptic sensing field enabling highly-dynamic vibration sensing with nanostrain sensitivity. We will introduce the principles of the addressed FOS technologies, present application examples from our case studies, discuss advantages and limitations of the techniques and highlight their potential for NWR monitoring.

In Germany, barriers made from salt concrete have been evaluated in full scale. While the barriers seem to fulfill the requirements regarding permeability, some unexpected cracks have been detected at the surface and at depth. In cooperation between the Federal Company for Radioactive Waste Disposal (BGE) and the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM), several experiments have been carried out to evaluate the applicability for ultrasonic measurements in crack detection and general quality assurance. Both commercial instruments and specially developed devices have been tested on site. Using commercial ultrasonic echo devices designed for concrete inspection it was possible to detect cracks and objects in salt concrete up to a depth of 2 m. The check for delamination in shotcrete is another field of application. A unique device available at BAM, the wide aperture, deep penetration instrument LAUS, was able to locate cracks and objects up to a depth of 8 m so far, which is thought to be a record for ultrasonic echo measurements in concrete. Adapted imaging procedures, partly adopted from geophysics, helped to reveal 3D structure at depth. In addition, we have developed ultrasonic probes to be deployed in boreholes, currently at up to 20 m depth. They can collect information on cracks and other features in a radius of about 1.5 m around the borehole in the current version and might be used in echo or transmission mode. Evaluation experiments have been performed at an experimental barrier at the ERAM site in Morsleben, Germany. The results showed several empty and injected cracks as well as built-in instrumentation. The results have been verified using borehole endoscopy as well as core examination and will be used to set up a reliable quality assurance system for engineered barriers. All instruments are based on ultrasonic shear wave transducers with a frequency range between 25 kHz and 100 kHz. Current research focuses on the improvement of the hardware (e. g. optimization of array characteristics) and imaging techniques such as Reverse Time Migration, both aiming at the improvement of depth of penetration, resolution and probability of detection.

During this project, a novel salt concrete exhibiting neither significant cracking nor shrinkage will be optimized for use in the sealing systems. The composition of this material will be based on alkali-activated materials, which are characterized by particularly small thermal deformations during the hardening reaction. Quality assurance and continuous monitoring systems developed during this project will be demonstrated not only for high reliability, but also for resistance to highly alkaline environments and to water intrusion along cables or at sensor locations. A variety of sensors will be used in combination with wireless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to record moisture, temperature, and, if necessary, corrosion activity within the sealing system. Distributed Fibre Optic Sensor (FOS) technology will also be used for strain, temperature, and moisture content measurement. Ultrasound-based measuring methods will be utilized for the detection of cracks and delaminations. Additionally, digital image correlation and acoustic emission analysis will be used for deformation measurements and crack detection. A novel borehole probe and advanced ultrasound imaging techniques will be further developed to track cracks and delaminations within the host rock in 3D. The surface-based Large Aperture Ultrasound System (LAUS) will also be utilized to detect cracks and delaminations deep below the exterior surface of the sealing system. Although the focus of this project will be on the host rock salt, the resulting technologies will be intentionally developed in a way that facilitates their adaptation to other host rocks.

T1 - Demonstrating performance of spent fuel and related storage system components during very long term storage - Final report of a coordinated research project N2 - This publication summarizes the work carried out during an IAEA coordinated research project (CRP) on safe and reliabe management of spent nuclear fuel. This work contributes to the overall goal of demonstrating the performance of spent nuclear fuel and related storage systems components over long durations, and facilitates the transfer of this knowledge to Member States. The technical areas addressed by the CRP participants were related to potential degradation mechanisms in metal casks and concrete overpacks, such as stress corrosion cracking; long term integrity and performance of the fuel cladding; thermo-mechanical behaviour of the metal seals; and long term gamma and neutron shielding capability. The participants also considered past and ongoing demonstration programmes. For each technical topic addressed the main conclusions have been drawn, including information on the development of specific monitoring and inspection techniques as well as future opportunities for closing relevant data gaps. A major achievement is also the establishment of a worldwide network of experts working on current research projects to demonstrate the long term performance of spent fuel in dry storage systems.

During manufacturing, defects can arise which could lead to failure of the whole component under dynamic mechanical and thermal loads. Hence during operation defects can arise which, if detected, can be repaired locally and in-situ by applying repair patches instead of taking the whole rotor blade down and repair it remotely. This method is much more time and cost effective, since the shut-down time of the energy converter is limited to a minimum. These repair patches can, however, also lead to new defects if not applied optimally. Therefore, it is necessary to control the quality of the repair patches to ensure the best possible restoration of structural integrity of the component. As a rotor blade is an object with a large aspect ratio, X-ray laminography is predestined to provide 3D information of the objective volume. To enhance the amount of information gained from laminographic reconstruction, we use in this study a photon counting and energy discriminating X-ray detector and apply a material decomposition algorithm to the data. By inherently separating the incident spectra within the detection process into two distinct energy bins, the basis material decomposition can provide material resolved images. Choosing glass and epoxy resin as basis materials and numerically solving the inverse dual-energy equation system, the reconstructed laminographic datasets contain highly valuable information about the distribution of the basis materials within the structure. Furthermore, cross- artifacts arising from the limited angle of the projection data can be reduced by this method which allows to investigate structures that were hidden underneath the artefacts.

T1 - An enhanced interface model for friction fatigue problems of axially loaded piles N2 - The shaft bearing capacity often plays a dominant role for the overall structural behaviour of axially loaded piles in offshore deep foundations. Under cyclic loading, a narrow zone of soil at the pile-soil interface is subject to cyclic shearing solicitations. Thereby, the soil may densify and lead to a decrease of confining stress around the pile due to microphenomena such as particle crushing, migration and rearrangement. This reduction of radial stress has a direct impact on the shaft capacity, potentially leading in extreme cases to pile failure. An adequate interface model is needed in order to model this behaviour numerically. Different authors have proposed models that take typical Interface phenomena in account such as densification, grain breakage, normal pressure effect and roughness. However, as the models become more complex, a great number of material parameters need to be defined and calibrated. This paper proposes the adoption and transformation of an existing soil bulk model (Pastor- Zienkiewicz) into an interface model. To calibrate the new interface model, the results of an experimental campaign with the ring shear device under cyclic loading conditions are here presented. The constitutive model shows a good capability to reproduce typical features of sand behaviour such as cyclic compaction and dilatancy, which in saturated partially-drained conditions may lead to liquefaction and cyclic mobility phenomena.

Components of this steel are typically welded and demand for careful welding fabrication, whereas a so-called post weld heat treatment (PWHT), must be conducted to increase the toughness and decrease the hardness of the martensitic as-welded (AW) microstructure. Before the PWHT, a hydrogen removal (or dehydrogenation) heat treatment is necessary as hardened AW martensitic microstructure is generally prone to delayed hydrogen assisted cracking (HAC). The microstructure and temperature dependent hydrogen diffusion is an important issue as it determines how long a potential crack-critical hydrogen concentration could remain in the microstructure. In this context, reliable hydrogen diffusion coefficients of P91 weld metal are rare. Hence, the diffusion behavior of P91 multi-layer weld metal was investigated in two different microstructure conditions: AW and further PWHT (760 °C for 4 h). Two different experimental techniques were used to cover a wide range of hydrogen diffusion temperatures: the electrochemical permeation technique (PT) at room temperature and the carrier gas hot extraction (CGHE) for a temperature range from 100 to 400 °C. From both techniques typical hydrogen diffusion coefficients were calculated and the corresponding hydrogen concentration was measured. It was ascertained that both heat treatment conditions show significant differences in hydrogen diffusivity. The biggest deviations were identified for room temperature. In this case, the AW condition shows significant hydrogen trapping and up to seven times lower diffusion coefficients. Additionally, PT investigations showed a preferred diffusion direction of hydrogen in the weld metal expressed by the diffusion coefficients and the permeability for both heat treatment conditions. The CGHE generally revealed lower diffusion coefficients for the AW microstructure up to 200 °C. In addition, the AW condition showed hydrogen concentrations up to 50 ml/100 g (considering electrochemical charging). Nonetheless, this hydrogen was not permanently (reversibly) trapped. Nonetheless, this temperature is approximately 100 °C below recommended dehydrogenation heat treatment (DHT). This has two main consequences: (I) in case of welding is interrupted or no DHT is conducted, a HAC susceptibility of hardened martensitic P91 weld metal cannot be excluded and (II) DHT can be conducted at temperatures around 200 °C below the recommended temperatures.

For example, O-ring metal seals are applied in the closure lid system of transport and storage casks for radioactive materials to guarantee an approved specified leak-tightness and the safe enclosure of the radioactive inventory. Within safety assessments of those casks under normal or accident conditions during transport and long-term interim storage for several decades, numerical simulations of the thermo-mechanical behavior of metal seals by using finite element (FE) analyses are suitable and effective. In general, finite element codes provide the possibility to construct a complex three-dimensional (3D) modelling of metal seals with solid elements, cf., where all components of the metal seals are modeled in detail. This modelling is complex but allows the consideration of underlying physical effects such as elastic-plastic deformation, thermal expansion, creep/relaxation, friction and possible local damage. Therefore, this approach permits the investigation and understanding of the complex behavior of metal seals in detail which can hardly be measured for all seal components. In a prior work, the complex 3D modelling approach was applied to investigate the influence of each seal component on the global seal force by considering varying material properties and different seal diameters. In the present contribution, the influence of manufacturing tolerances is discussed. At first, the results of prior work are summarized. After that, the manufacturing tolerances of the studied O-ring metal seal types are described and the corresponding FE model with all individual components is introduced. Finally, the influence of varying manufacturing tolerances of each seal component on the global seal force is analyzed and discussed.

Experimental investigations have shown that this interaction is mainly localised within a narrow shear band next to the structure. Under cyclic loading, a contraction of the soil at the interface may arise (net volume loss), possibly leading to a stress relaxation and thus to a reduction of the load bearing capacity (the so-called friction fatigue). Based on the constitutive similarities between soil continua and interfaces, we propose here the adaption of a Generalized Plasticity model for sandy soils for the numerical analysis of interface problems. In this contribution, the results of an experimental campaign for the parameter calibration of the constitutive model are presented. The tests have been conducted with a ring shear device involving different normal stresses, roughness of the steel plates as well as cyclic loading. The new modelling approach shows promising results and has the additional practical advantage that the interface zone and the soil continuum can both be described with the same constitutive model in general boundary value problems.

During manufacturing, defects can arise which could lead to failure of the whole component under dynamic mechanical and thermal loads. Hence during operation defects can arise which, if detected, can be repaired locally and in-situ by applying repair patches instead of taking the whole rotor blade down and repair it remotely. This method is much more time and cost effective, since the shut-down time of the energy converter is limited to a minimum. These repair patches can, however, also lead to new defects if not applied optimally. Therefore, it is necessary to control the quality of the repair patches to ensure the best possible restoration of structural integrity of the component. As a rotor blade is an object with a large aspect ratio, X-ray laminography is predestined to provide 3D information of the objective volume. To enhance the amount of information gained from laminographic reconstruction, we use in this study a photon counting and energy discriminating X-ray detector and apply a material decomposition algorithm to the data. By inherently separating the incident spectra within the detection process into two distinct energy bins, the basis material decomposition can provide material resolved images. Choosing glass and epoxy resin as basis materials and numerically solving the inverse dual-energy equation system, the reconstructed laminographic datasets contain highly valuable information about the distribution of the basis materials within the structure. Furthermore, cross- artifacts arising from the limited angle of the projection data can be reduced by this method which allows to investigate structures that were hidden underneath the artefacts.

A1 - Simo, Anne T1 - Seasonal cooling performance of air conditioners: The importance of independent test procedures used for MEPS and labels N2 - Minimum energy performance standards and labels are commonly used tools to reduce the household energy use thus mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. However, the technical foundation for minimum energy performance standards and labels are test procedures for rating and testing of appliances. To de- termine the seasonal cooling performance of air conditioners, the current test standards require fixing of the compressor speed of the units to achieve steady-state conditions; this way of operation, how- ever, differs from real-life use. To make the seasonal cooling performance testing better reflect the real use conditions, this study proposes a compensation method which can be conducted independently from manufacturer data and still allows modulation of the tested units. Our results show that the tested units behave differently under part-load conditions, which results in a lower energy efficiency rating for some of the tested devices.

Beside the description of the restructuration of responsible authorities and organizations in Germany, the principle of dry interim storage of SF and HLW in dual purpose casks is explained. The need for extended interim storage towards disposal implicates additional challenges for the nuclear waste management strategy in Germany. (Extended)interim storage, subsequent transportation, and final disposal are closely linked. Integrated approaches concerning waste package designs and operations are supposed to be beneficial for the establishment of efficient long-term SF and HLW management strategies. Knowledge management and staff recruiting, education and training during phase out and beyond nuclear power plant operation are major issues.

They are also an interesting example among the broad spectrum of geotechnical applications where the fluid-solid interaction at the pore-scale can play a major role for the macromechanical behaviour of the whole system. In the context of the geotechnical practice for offshore wind-farm structures, both the industrial design and the actual dimensions of the large piles used as foundations in the seabed are often driven by factors such as the soil resistance to driving (SRD), which are still not well understood and often estimated based on mere empirical correlations or overly simplified one-dimensional models. In particular, the role of the micromechanical effects during the installation process (e.g. local dilatancy or contractancy) and their consequences on the pore pressure levels at the pile-tip and on the effective resistance to driving, are generally either disregarded or at most assumed to be covered by the simplified engineering “black-box” solutions. Here, we propose a general framework to address such local aspects of a geotechnical application involving fluid-saturated soils while retaining the focus on the micro-scale phenomena. We advocate for an approach that combines the relative simplicity of the Discrete Element Method (DEM) for the solid mechanics with the capabilities of the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) for the fluid dynamics. In this sense, we aim to compile some useful techniques and practical recommendations for an efficient GPU-based implementation of a micromechanical LBM-DEM simulation tool.

In an ongoing research project, we are developing a design approach for typical offshore driven piles based on the application of injections by compaction grouting directly at the pile shaft. Compaction grouting as a ground improvement technique has been used widely as a countermeasure against liquefaction, settlement and low bearing capacity of soil under new or already existing structures. It is performed by forcing highly viscous grout into the soil to displace and compact the surrounding soil without fracturing or penetrating it. Regarding this injection method, this paper gives a brief overview about general aspects such as appropriate soil characteristics and grouting parameters, grouting equipment and fields of application particularly in the offshore sector. This indicates the ability of our optimisation concept to provide an economic alternative to larger pile dimensions and a retrofitting technique, which is available during the entire lifetime of the foundation and can be deployed only in case of necessity (e.g. excessive deformations or insufficient structural stiffness after an extreme load event). Besides the material feasibility and the constructive realisation of this improvement measure, the development of a corresponding verification concept is crucial in order to ensure the safety and durability of the retrofitted offshore piles. Here we will examine various verification concepts with their respective limitations in the framework of the limit state design. Furthermore, we will present the experimental findings from field tests in sand indicating the advantages of several local injections by compaction grouting for the enhancement of the load bearing behaviour of pile foundations. The test results were also used to validate a numerical model, developed with the finite element program PLAXIS, aiming to predict the expected bearing capacity for different injection scenarios (e.g. grout volume, location of injection points) along a pile shaft.

Whereas no or low crystal volume fraction seems most favorable for viscous crack healing, it does not for load bearing and undesired diffusion. On the other hand, crystals or filler particles can make the sealant less prone to these disadvantages but it could increase the effective composite viscosity and retard crack healing. Against this background, the influence of crystal volume fraction, phi, on viscous crack healing in glass matrix composites prepared from soda lime silicate glass and zirconia filler particles was studied. Vickers indention induced radial cracks were healed isothermally during interrupted annealing steps and monitored with optical microscopy. Due to the slow crystallization of the glass under study, phi could be kept constant during crack healing. For bulk glass samples (phi = =), the decrease in radial crack length was retarded by an initial increase in crack width due to crack rounding. Up to phi = 0.15 the increase in effective viscosity retarded this crack broadening thereby yielding faster crack healing. For phi > 0.15, crack broadening was progressively suppressed but the same was true for crack healing, which was fully prevented above phi = 0.3. Results indicate that optimum micro structures can prevent crack broadening limited by the global effective composite viscosity and this way promote crack healing limited by local glass viscosity.

Further optimization and long-term behavior of devices with PIMs require an understanding of the structure-property relationships including physical aging. In this context the glass transi-tion plays a central role, but with conventional thermal analysis a glass transition is usually not detectable for PIMs be-fore their thermal decomposition. Fast scanning calorimetry provides evidence of the glass transition for a series of PIMs, as the time scales responsible for thermal degradation and for the glass transition are decoupled by employing ultrafast heating rates of tens of thousands K s-1. The investigated PIMs were chosen considering the chain rigidity. The estimated glass transition temperatures follow the order of the rigidity of the backbone of the PIMs. KW - Polymers of intrinsic microporosity KW - Fast scanning calormetry PY - 2019 DO - https://doi.org/10.1021/acsmacrolett.9b00482 SN - 2161-1653 VL - 8 IS - 8 SP - 1022 EP - 1028 PB - ACS Publications AN - OPUS4-48617 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Knieschewski, Arno A1 - Stamminger, R.

All classes and values on the energy label are stated by the supplier. The task of market surveillance is to ensure correct labels and to validate their values through compliance tests. However, this can only be done for a small fraction of all models on the market, since physical tests are expensive. Screening methods can be used to narrow down the number of critical products before compliance tests are done to decrease the costs of finding non-compliant models. This study shows a mathematical approach to analyze the cost benefits of screening methods to find non-compliant models. Furthermore, the analysis presented has been applied to 18 screening methods for tumble dryers. The performance test for tumble dryers consists of seven test runs. All screening methods evaluated are composed of a reduced number of test runs. The most efficient screening method reduces the surveillance costs by 40 %.

This includes but is not limited to the localization of construction features (thickness measurements, reinforcement, tendon ducts, and others) and damage detection (e. g. corrosion or cracks). However, there are still limitations, e. g. limited penetration depth and resolution, issues when testing hybrid steel/concrete structures as well as absence of standards and regulations. This presentation will show progress in some of these issues and will focus on advanced instrumentation and validation of ultrasonic NDT for concrete structures. Ultrasonic echo testing has been limited to a penetration depth of less than one meter in reinforced concrete. The development of the LAUS (Large Aperture Ultrasonic System), using a large array of ultrasonic transducers and wider offsets between transmitter and receiver, allows to reach up to 5 m in reinforced concrete and 9 m in unreinforced concrete. This capability has been demonstrated by collecting data from an engineered salt concrete barrier in an underground nuclear waste storage facility. Due to an increasingly competitive environment, commercial manufacturers will continue to develop equipment with enhanced penetration and/or increased resolution. To quantify the capabilities and reliability of ultrasonic tests, validation mockups with engineered flaws are required. EPRI and BAM have built a large-scale mockup at a test site close to Berlin (BAM-TTS, Horstwalde) using a design which is repeated at other places. This presentation will also cover the methods deployed on engineered flaws and the repeatability of the test results.

A closed steel sheet cylinder with a wall thickness of 10 mm was chosen as fire reference package. The cylinder was filled with refractory insulation material and instrumented with thermocouples distributed all over the cylinder. The local steel sheet temperatures measured allow the determination of local as well as global heat fluxes as a function of time and surface temperature. With this fire reference package three open-air propane gas fire tests were performed at BAM’s open air fire test stand. The flame exposure time period was changed for the different fire tests. Furthermore, the wind conditions changed between and during the tests. Test stand parameters like wind shield location and propane gas volume flow were chosen constant for the three tests. The test results were used to determine the changes of heat flux into the fire reference package in relation to the package surface temperature. This data also allows the calculation of local characteristics of the propane gas fire as there are the flame temperature, the fire convection coefficient and the radiation exchange coefficient in a first approach. The recently conducted tests provide an initial picture of local fire characteristics of the propane gas fire test facility. The test shows that the propane gas fire covers the IAEA-fire over a wide range of surface temperatures with the chosen test stand parameters.

An extension of the interim storage period between 40 and 100 years for at least a relevant number of casks is foreseeable. To demonstrate the integrity of fuel rods and cladding tubes throughout the extended dry interim storage, a potential cladding embrittlement should be investigated. The current approach at BAM is a research project on experimental and numerical investigations of sudden failure of unirradiated pre-hydrided cladding tubes after hydride reorientation at small deformation under Ring Compression Test conditions. A fracture mechanics based failure analysis and suggested failure criteria for a potential brittle failure of spent fuel claddings after long-term dry interim storage under mechanical loads are discussed.

For this, heavy crude oil samples were prepared as microemulsion (shake) and injected into a graphite furnace (shut). Finally, the concentration of sulfur was determined by monitoring in situ the transient molecular spectrum of GeS at wavelength 295.205nm after adding a germanium solution as molecular forming agent (and go). Zirconium dioxide in the form of nanoparticles (45–55nm) was employed as a permanent modifier of the graphite furnace. Calibration was done with an aqueous solution standard of ammonium sulfate, and a characteristic mass (m0) of 7.5ng was achieved. The effectiveness of the proposed method was evaluated analizing, ten heavy crude oil samples with Sulfur amounts ranging between 0.3 and 4.5% as well as two NIST standard reference materials, 1620c and 1622e. Results were compared with those obtained by routine ICP-OES analysis, and no statistical relevant differences were found.

These activities are costly and should be optimized. Risk-based methods can be applied to identify inspection and repair strategies that ensure an optimal balance between the expected total service life cost of inspection and repair, and the achieved risk reduction. Such an optimization requires explicit modeling of repairs. In this paper, the impact of different repair models on the results of a risk-based optimization of inspection and repair strategies is quantified in a numerical example considering a jacket-type steel frame subject to high-cycle fatigue. The example showed that, in this specific application, there is no need for detailed modeling of the behavior of repaired welded connections.

Therefore, the IAEA Regulations define different test scenarios to cover severe hypothetical accident conditions. One of these tests defined in detail is the thermal test, mainly consisting of a 30 minute fully engulfing 800 °C pool fire or an equally severe fire test. The heat fluxes into the package are of significant importance and depend substantially on the fire characteristics and the surface temperature of the package. In order to investigate the heat fluxes over a wide range of surface temperatures during a propane gas fire test and to get information about local fire impact a fire reference package, representing the outer geometry of a specific type of transport cask for radioactive waste, was designed. A closed steel sheet cylinder with a wall thickness of 10 mm was chosen as fire reference package. The cylinder was filled with refractory insulation material and instrumented with thermocouples distributed all over the cylinder. The local steel sheet temperatures measured allow the determination of local as well as global heat fluxes as a function of time and surface temperature. With this fire reference package three open-air propane gas fire tests were performed at BAM’s open air fire test stand. The flame exposure time period was changed for the different fire tests. Furthermore, the wind conditions changed between and during the tests. Test stand parameters like wind shield location and propane gas volume flow were chosen constant for the three tests. The test results were used to determine the changes of heat flux into the fire reference package in relation to the package surface temperature.

With a growing renewable energy industry and thereby a spread of wind energy farms, especially in offshore applications, the need to fully utilize turbines through their designed lifespan is becoming increasingly essential. However, due to imperfections during manufacturing, which are then propagated by harsh environmental conditions and a variety of loads, blades often fail before their projected lifespan. Thus, the need for localized repair patch methods for the outer shell portions of the blades has become of greater interest in recent years, as it is crucial to the optimal compromise between continuation of wind energy production, cost efficiency, and restoration of structural performance. To increase the understanding of the effect on the fatigue life of the rotor blades, this study tests localized repair patch methods and compares them to each other as well as to reference, non-repaired specimens. Manufactured with the vacuum-assisted resin infusion process, the shell test specimens are produced as a curved structure with glass FRP sandwiching a polyvinyl chloride foam core to best represent a portion of a rotor blade shell. Patch repairs are then introduced with varying layup techniques, and material properties are examined with cyclic fatigue tests. The intermediate scale test specimens allow for the observation of material as well as structural variables, namely of interest being the stiffness and strength restoration due to the repair patches. Damage onset, crack development, and eventual failure are monitored with in-situ non-destructive testing methods to develop a robust understanding of the effects of repair concepts.

Especially Offshore Wind Turbines are exposed to extreme corrosive conditions due to high chloride concentrations in the atmosphere and the resulting high chloride deposition rates. It is of great importance to evaluate to what extent salinization of the surface influences the corrosion protection of coatings and pitting occurrence on stainless steels under atmospheric conditions to evaluate the durability of metallic building structures in offshore and marine environments. The evaluation of the scientific literature and regulatory guidelines has shown that there are still many open questions regarding the contamination of metal surfaces by chlorides. This contribution will discuss how salinization of metal surfaces is evaluated and monitored according to current standards and guidelines. Future challenges concerning test methods and the application of evaluated salinization values and deposition rates will be discussed.

The chemical reaction between the zirconium fuel cladding and the cooling water in water-cooled reactors produces hydrogen and zirconium oxide. Hydrogen diffuses into the cladding and precipitates as zirconium hydrides when the solubility limit is reached, preferably oriented in hoop direction. At high temperatures during vacuum drying procedures, the hydrides can dissolve. Over a succeeding period of slow cooling with existing hoop stress the hydrides precipitate again, but partly reoriented along the radial direction of the cladding. This change of microstructure in combination with a decreasing temperature (0.5...2 K/year) during (extended) interim storage and additional mechanical load by handling procedures or under accident conditions could lead to a potential cladding embrittlement and consequently increased failure probability.

In comparison to current test standards, where test modes for fixing the compressor speed are required, a dynamic approach is applied with unfixed compressor speed and thus better reflects the performance of air conditioners under real operating conditions. The dynamic tests are conducted in two calorimeter chambers. The indoor chamber is kept at a constant temperature whereas the outdoor chamber is subjected to a temperature profile based on the climate BIN-distribution, representing the reference cooling demand.

An offshore perspective and some possible solutions N2 - This talk provides a brief introduction on general engineering challenges for the offshore (marine) wind energy production, focusing on material, structural and hydromechanical aspects. The talk begins with a broad overview on general trends for offshore wind-farms, with insights on some characteristic structural features and their associated loads. Then, some particular open issues for the foundation of the offshore wind turbines into the seabed are introduced. Here, different research approaches are discussed, from experimental investigations to coupled computational analysis at micro- and macroscopic scales. In the second part of the seminar, both the hydromechanical Wave–Tower interaction and some general aspects of the windfarm aerodynamics (wake analysis) are discussed. Some modelling possibilities in the frame of CFD (computational fluid dynamics) are introduced and the relevance of such analyses for a proper windfarm layout optimization is pointed out. Summing up, this seminar aims to show that: i) Numerical analysis of the turbine’s interaction with wind/waves and with the seabed is both useful and affordable. ii) Simplified models can provide an insight into windfarm aerodynamics. iii) Turbulent wake analysis is very relevant for the windfarm layout.

In comparison to current test standards, where test modes for fixing the compressor speed are required, a dynamic approach is applied with unfixed compressor speed and thus better reflects the performance of air conditioners under real operating conditions. The dynamic tests are conducted in two calorimeter chambers. The indoor chamber is kept at a constant temperature whereas the outdoor chamber is subjected to a temperature profile based on the climate BIN-distribution, representing the reference cooling demand. The proposed dynamic test considers the dynamic control of an air conditioner and delivers results which could indicate the units’ performance in the field.

Generally, ductile cast iron is endangered by brittle fracture especially at low temperatures (down to -40°C) and in combination with existing crack-like material defects. An applicable method is the assessment of fracture resistance using fracture mechanics according to the IAEA guidelines. The approach is based on the prevention of fracture initiation. For application of these principles for drop loads, account must be taken both of dynamic stresses within the component and dynamic material behavior. Basically, the dynamic stress intensity factor of postulated pre-existing crack-like defects is compared with the dynamic fracture toughness of the material. Applicable numerical and experimental methods for the safety assessment of cask components are demonstrated for the case of an artificially pre-cracked cylindrical cast iron cask which undergoes dynamic loading conditions as result of the hard impact between the cask and a concrete target. The proposed evaluation procedure is a combination of numerical and experimental steps. Exemplarily, the calculated stress intensity factor is compared with measured fracture toughness values from single edge notched bending specimens.

The finite element mesh density may significantly vary throughout a model. A transition between dissimilar meshes can be accomplished by a gradual change of element size or by an interface with constraint conditions. Some issues may arise from such mesh transitions. Generally, a finer mesh can transmit signals of higher frequency than a coarser mesh. Stress wave propagation through the model could be affected by the transition region or the artificially induced interface. Stress waves generated within the fine mesh could be partly encapsulated by the surrounding coarse mesh. Therefore poor mesh transitions could result in reflections or shape changes of stress waves. A thin rod is investigated to demonstrate the effects. This study supports the development of the ASME Guidance Document "Use of Explicit Finite Element Analysis for the Evaluation of Nuclear Transport and Storage Packages in Energy-Limited Impact Events".

H. T1 - Modelling and calibration for cyclic soil-structure interface behaviour N2 - The structural performance of many geotechnical systems (e.g. axially-loaded pile foundations), depends on the shearing resistance at the soil interface, which may govern the load bearing capacity of the foundation. Experimental investigations have shown that this interaction is mainly localised within a narrow shear band next to the structure. Under cyclic loading, a contraction of the soil at the interface may arise (net volume loss), possibly leading to a stress relaxation and thus to a reduction of the load bearing capacity (the so-called friction fatigue). Based on the constitutive similarities between soil continua and interfaces, we propose here the adaption of a Generalized Plasticity model for sandy soils for the numerical analysis of interface problems. In this contribution, the results of an experimental campaign for the parameter calibration of the constitutive model are presented. The tests have been conducted with a ring shear device involving different normal stresses, roughness of the steel plates as well as cyclic loading. The new modelling approach shows promising results and has the additional practical advantage that the interface zone and the soil continuum can both be described with the same constitutive model in general boundary value problems.

Especially Offshore Wind Turbines are exposed to extreme corrosive conditions due to high chloride concentrations in the atmosphere and the resulting high chloride deposition rates. It is of great importance to evaluate to what extent salinization of the surface influences the corrosion protection of coatings and pitting occurrence on stainless steels under atmospheric conditions to evaluate the durability of metallic building structures in offshore and marine environments. The evaluation of the scientific literature and regulatory guidelines has shown that there are still many open questions regarding the contamination of metal surfaces by chlorides. This contribution will discuss how salinization of metal surfaces is evaluated and monitored according to current standards and guidelines. Future challenges concerning test methods and the application of evaluated salinization values and deposition rates will be discussed.

Increasing demands on efficiency, miniaturization and ever shorter time-to-market require tailored glass-silver-pastes. In these pastes, low-melting glasses act as a sintering aid achieving better sintering, adhesion and contact formation for solar cells. Yet, the related liquid phase sintering of silver-glass-composites and the underlying mechanism of silver dissolution, transport and reprecipitation are rarely investigated. In this study, systematically varied low melting alkaline zinc borate, alkaline earth borate, and Pb- and Bi-glasses are investigated. Glass transition and crystallization are studied with dilatometry, DTA and XRD. Sintering of the pure glasses, pure silver and silver-glass-composites is analyzed with Hot Stage Microscopy, optical and electron microscopy. Since oxygen dissolved in silver powders can affect the silver dissolution as silver oxide in the matrix oxide glasses, the O2-content of silver powders is determined by Vacuum Hot Extraction. The glass transition temperature of the glasses under study varies between 370 °C and 590 °C whereas the sinter onset largely ranges between 400 °C and 600 °C. On the other hand, it scattered between 200 °C and 450 °C for selected commercial Ag-powders of different particle size and morphology.

SRM act upon the metal by the reactiveness of hydrogen sulfide (HS-), and by withdrawal of the available electrons (Fe --> Fe2+ + 2e-; E° = -0.47 V) in electrical contact with the metal (EMIC). However, methanogenic archaea can also cause MIC. Because they do not produce HS-, withdrawal of electrons may be their main corrosive mechanism; however, mechanistic details and kinetics of the overall process are poorly understood. To investigate the corrosion potential of methanogens, we studied the EMIC methanogenic strains isolated from marine sediments (Methanobacterium-affiliated strain IM1) and crude oil tanks (Methanococcus maripaludis Mic1c10), in an in-house developed flow-through cell to simulate a fluctuating environment. A co-culture of M. maripaludis and D. alaskensis was also established to study the effect of syntrophic growth on metal corrosion that may occur in industrial pipelines. Results indicate that the rates of iron corrosion due to coupled methanogenesis (up to 0.4 mm/yr) are higher to that caused by the marine SRM Desulfovibrio alaskensis (0.15 mm/yr). Surface analyses of the metal showed severe pitting with high methane production. Genomic analysis of the EMIC methanogen M. maripaludis Mic1c10 will provide an insight on the mechanisms of MIC.

Im Gegensatz dazu wies Grundwasser aus dem Einzugsbereich einer historischen Kontamination durch Fluorchlorkohlenwasserstoffe (FCKW) ein TFA/DFA-Verhältnis von 1:3 auf. Dies und die ungewöhnlich hohe DFA-Konzentration an dieser Stelle wird vor dem Hintergrund der beobachteten mikrobiellen Abbauprodukte des ursprünglichen eingetragenen FCKW 1,1,2-Trichlor-1,2,2-trifluorethan (R113) diskutiert. Eine mikrobielle Umwandlung des bekannten Abbauproduktes Chlortrifluorethylen (R1113) zur DFA wurde bislang nicht in Umweltkompartimenten beobachtet und wird hier auf Basis bekannter Stoffwechselwege vorgeschlagen. TFA wurde in Regenwasser, Oberflächenwasser und Grundwasser in vergleichbaren Größenordnungen von ca. 500 ng/L bestimmt. Im Gegensatz dazu wurde DFA in Grundwasserproben im Bereich der Schadstoffquelle der FCKW-Kontamination mit bis zu 2.000 ng/L nachgewiesen. Die Summe von TFA und DFA im Grundwasser korreliert nicht mit dem Eintrag aus Niederschlag und Oberflächenwasser. Darum liegt die Vermutung nahe, dass es für DFA andere Quellen als den direkten Eintrag oder den möglichen Abbauweg über TFA geben muss. DFA ist vermutlich ein Abbauprodukt von R1113. FCKWs, die im ersten Abbauschritt zu 1,1-Difluorethenen metabolisieren, stehen im Verdacht, in der Folge zu DFA zu hydrolysieren. Entscheidend scheint, dass bereits im Ausgangsprodukt ein CF2-Strukturelement enthalten ist, das dann zur Bildung von DFA führen kann. Somit würde aus dem ursprünglichen Eintrag des Kältemittels R113 über schrittweise Dechlorierung via 1,2-Dichlor-1,2,2-Trifluorethan (R123a) und R1113 die Bildung des beobachteten DFA folgen. Es ist also sinnvoll, DFA in die Diskussion zur Regulierung der Endprodukte des Abbaus fluorhaltiger Kälte- oder Lösungsmittel einzubeziehen. Die Ergebnisse wurden im Normausschuss Wasserwesen (NAW) des DIN vorgestellt und es soll ein Arbeitskreis gegründet werden, der ein Normverfahren zur Quantifizierung von TFA und DFA in Wasser erarbeitet. Interessierte Laboratorien sind herzlich eingeladen, die Normungsarbeit zu unterstützen. T2 - DEHEMA 21.

Soil is a large reservoir of microbial diversity and has been hypothesized to be a crucial factor for the evolution and spread of antimicrobial resistance. Currently, there is little knowledge on how biocides used to protect materials affect the evolution and spread of resistance. Thus, our aim is to investigate the risk for the evolution of biocide resistance and cross-resistance to antibiotics. In addition, we aim to elucidate the affect of biocides on the spread of resistance via horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Methods: In laboratory evolution experiments we culture selected model soil microorganism with representative biocides followed by antibiotic cross-resistance determination and genome sequencing. Moreover, we investigate if the selected biocides affect the HGT frequency of plasmids that carry resistance genes among soil microorganism and the consequences for survival of the affected populations. Results: Our initial results show only small increases of biocide resistance during serial transfers in the presence of biocides. One reason for this might be the narrow selective window for biocide resistance due to steep dose-response relationships. Furthermore, we will present results from ongoing experiments on the effects of material preservatives on HGT frequencies facilitating microbial community adaptation to stress.

The standard method for the determination of volatile organic compounds (VOC) is the sampling onto Tenax-tubes followed by thermal desorption (TDS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The EU-LCI list includes some very volatile organic compounds (VVOC) and some VOC for which there are limitations when using the standard method. For VVOC additional sampling is required using stronger absorbers like Carbotrap or multi-bed adsorption tubes. The analysis of VVOC also requires a different GC oven program and a different column for the separation. For the determination of formaldehyde and other low boiling aldehydes (e.g. acetaldehyde, acetone, propanal, propenal) DNPH-cartridges are used which are extracted with acetonitrile followed by liquid chromatography (HPLC-UV) analysis. The derivatisation of propenal and other unsaturated aldehydes (e.g. 2-butenal) with DNPH might lead to lower findings due to incomplete derivatization and forming of by-products. For a better quantification of acetic acid the use of ion chromatography (IC) is recommended because the analysis of acetic acid with the standard method (TDS) leads to lower findings due to break through during sampling. The use of ion chromatography for the analysis of organic acids requires a third sampling technique. The acids are adsorbed onto silica-gel and extracted with water.

Therefore, the development of innovative in-line sensors is of great interest. New concepts based on periodic structures, so-called phononic crystals (PnCs), are an interesting idea for the design of innovative sensors. A PnC-based sensor can be designed by introducing a resonance inside a bandgap, a frequency region where no wave propagation is allowed. High-Q measurement systems using PnCs are already reported in the literature. However, existing designs cannot be implemented into a piping system directly, but need special fittings, openings or by-passes to be in contact with the liquid. To circumvent this issue, we develop a new sensor based on PnCs, which can be directly implemented as part of the piping system. For this purpose, we use a PnC consisting of hollow cylinders with a periodic change of the outer diameter. A bandgap could be found for the described geometry without fluid in simulation and measurement. However, simulations show, that a bandgap for fluid-filled cylinders can only be obtained for quasi-longitudinal modes. Hence, we propose a mode selective excitation for the sensor.

The flow model allows flexibility with material selection, flow rates, temperature and other environmental parameters changes. Furthermore, the flow model allows integration of electrochemical measurements using microsensors, providing a comprehensive view of corrosion at the biofilm level.

Breeding success of K. caeruleus was low, but basic parameters of this species’ developmental cycle were identifi ed. At 21°C and 75% relative humidity and a fourmonth cold period at 4°C, the development of K. caeruleus from egg to adult appearance lasted 2 years. The pupal stage may be reached and completed after one and a half years. Feeding on larvae of A. punctatum by larvae of K. caeruleus was observed and consisted of a combination of sucking haemolymph and consuming body parts. The sickle-like mandibles of larvae of K. caeruleus penetrate the cuticle of prey larvae; this is followed by pumping and sucking body movements. Adult beetles of A. punctatum were not attacked by K. caeruleus larvae. Feeding behaviour of adult K. caeruleus was not investigated.

Non-reversible fluorescent molecular sensors were designed and syn-thesized. Upon, integration into a hydrogel matrix with an optimal ratio of co-solvents, the sensors reacting selectively to ammonia were illuminated by excitation light to produce a concentration-correlated fluorescence emission. An automated mechanical-elec-trical device initiates a given gas mixture and thus simulates con-centrations similar to a threshold value. The aim of this project is to develop a sensor or a low-cost method which can monitor low concentrations of harmful gases and aid in their elimination or regulation in livestock housing, barns or stables.

T1 - Experimental Validation of the Cone-Shaped Remote Gas Sensor Model N2 - Remote gas sensors mounted on mobile robots enable the mapping of gas distributions in large or hardly accessible areas. A challenging task, however, is the generation of threedimensional distribution maps from these gas measurements. Suitable reconstruction algorithms can be adapted, for instance, from the field of computed tomography (CT), but both their performance and strategies for selecting optimal measuring poses must be evaluated. For this purpose simulations are used, since, in contrast to field tests, they allow repeatable conditions. Although several simulation tools exist, they lack realistic models of remote gas sensors. Recently, we introduced a model for a Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) gas sensor taking into account the conical shape of its laser beam. However, the novel model has not yet been validated with experiments. In this paper, we compare our model with a real sensor device and show that the assumptions made hold.

Der Einsatz von Reststoffen führt zur Schonung natürlicher Rohstoffe, zur Reduktion von CO2-Emissionen und zur Einsparung von Deponieraum. Der Reststoff Mauerwerkbruch ist ein heterogenes, SiO2-reiches Gemisch aus Ziegeln, Beton und Leichtbeton, Kalksandstein, Porenbeton, Putz und Mörtel. Die uneinheitliche Zusammensetzung und bis zu 50 % Feinanteile nach der mechanischen Aufbereitung verhindern eine unmittelbare Wiederverwertung als RC-Gemisch. Eine Möglichkeit der Verwertung von Mauerwerkbruch stellt das rohstoffliche Recycling über einen hydrothermalen Stoffumwandlungsprozess dar, bei dem poröse Granulate erhalten werden. Im Fokus des ZIM-Projekts HYTEGRA steht die Entwicklung eines solchen Herstellungsprozesses und die umfassende Charakterisierung der hergestellten Hydrothermalgranulate. Als Reststoffe soll neben Mauerwerkbruch (SiO2-reich) aus Bau- und Abbruchsabfällen auch Papierasche (CaO-reich) aus dem Altpapierrecycling eingesetzt werden. Nach einem mehrstufigen mechanischen Prozess erfolgt die Härtung der Grüngranulate hydrothermal unter erhöhtem Druck in gesättigter Wasserdampfatmosphäre bei Temperaturen von etwa 200 °C. Während des Härtungsprozesses bilden sich aus Quarz (SiO2), Kalk (CaO) und Wasser Calciumsilicathydrat-Phasen, die für die benötige Festigkeit und Porosität der Hydrothermalgranulate sorgen. Durch die Variation verschiedenster Syntheseparameter (Temperatur, Druck, Zeit, SiO2-CaO-Mischungsverhältnis) wird eine gezielte Einstellung der Eigenschaften der Hydrothermalgranulate ermöglicht. In Kooperation mit verschiedenen Industriepartnern sind Anwendungen als Filter- und Speichermaterial geplant, z.B. in Bodenfiltern zur Abwasserbehandlung sowie als temporärer Wasserspeicher zur inneren Nachbehandlung von Beton und in Pflanzsubstraten. Im Vortrag sollen das Projekt HYTEGRA und erste Ergebnisse des hydrothermalen Verwertungsweg unter Verwendung von Mauerwerkbruch im Labormaßstab vorgestellt werden.

Der in natürlichen Erdböden vorhandene Wasseranteil bildet mit den löslichen Inhaltsstoffen eine Elektrolytlösung. Eine merkbare Korrosionsgeschwindigkeit tritt erst dann auf, wenn der Boden einen bestimmten Wassergehalt aufweist, der eine Sauerstoffdiffusion im Boden zur Oberfläche des Metalls gewährleistet. Von maßgebendem Einfluss auf die korrosionsverursachende Wirkung der Böden ist neben dem Feuchtegehalt, der die Leitfähigkeit des Bodens bestimmt, der pH-Wert. Verschiedene Bodenarten besitzen unterschiedliche Wasser- und Sauerstoffdurchlässigkeiten, sowie Unterschiede der gelösten Inhaltsstoffe wie Chloride oder Sulfate, wodurch sich das Korrosionsverhalten von Metallen in verschiedenen Böden stark unterscheidet. In der DIN 50929-3 werden Böden in vier verschiedene Bodenklassen mit Korrosionsbelastungen von sehr niedrig bis hoch unterteilt. Durch verschiedene Bodenanalysen und örtliche Gegebenheiten kann nach DIN 50929-3 zwar die Korrosivität eines Bodens bestimmt werden, jedoch ist die Reproduzierbarkeit eines Bodens (Prüfmediums) praktisch nicht möglich. Es gibt jedoch Überlegungen, wie die Einstellung einer Bodenklasse durch Verwendung von Normsand und der Zugabe von Stoffen erzielt werden kann, wodurch die Reproduzierbarkeit eines Bodens ermöglicht wird.
