Zur Vermeidung der schädigenden Alkali-Kieselsäure-Reaktion (AKR) in Betonbauwerken wird die Alkalireaktivität von Gesteinskörnungen getestet. Der 60°C-Betonversuch ermöglicht eine vergleichsweise schnelle Einschätzung nach fünf-monatiger Testdauer. Dazu wird die Dehnung von Betonprüfkörpern, die mit der zu testenden Gesteinskörnung hergestellt wurden, manuell alle 28 Tage gemessen. Ein alternatives, an der BAM in den vergangen Jahren entwickeltes Verfahren setzt Dehnungssensoren ein, um kontinuierlich und online zu messen. Ziel dieses MNPQ-Projektes war es ein Messmodul zu entwickeln, welches eine kontinuierliche Dehnungsmessung leicht handhabbar umsetzt. Das von der Firma Schleibinger Geräte Teubert und Greim GmbH und der BAM in Kooperation entwickelte Messmodul lässt sich entweder in die herkömmliche AKR-Prüftruhe, in einen Wärmeschrank oder einen eigens entwickelten Minireaktor einlagern. Die kontinuierliche berührungslose Dehnungsmessung mittels Wirbelstromsensoren hat sich als robust und leicht handhabbar herausgestellt. Im Rahmen des Projektes ausgeführte Messungen untersuchen Einflüsse von gegenüber dem konventionellen Test variierten Testparametern, wie u.a. der Prüfkörperzahl je Behälter und dem ausbleibenden Drehen der Prüfkörper während des Tests. Die kontinuierliche Erfassung von Schallemissionen und Ultraschallgeschwindigkeit erweist sich als interessante Option um ein umfassendes Bild der Schädigungs-, Expansions-, und Hydratationsvorgänge zu gewinnen. Der eingefügte Erfolgskontrollbericht stellt den Projektverlauf dar und zeigt Chancen des entwickelten Gerätes auf.
The accelerated concrete prism test (ACPT-60 °C) facilitates testing of alkali-silica reactivity of aggregates within five months. Manual measurement is usually conducted to determine expansion of test specimen every 28 days. This conventional procedure gives only limited insight to expansion behaviour of ASR-affected prisms. Due to the large time intervals, expansion exceeding the critical value of 0.3 mm/m is likely to be noticed late. Continuous recording resolves this problem and delivers beneficial information on the shape of the expansion curve.
Displacement transducers integrated into a special testing equipment developed at BAM put continuous measurement into practice. Additionally, ultrasonic velocity and acoustic emissions are measured in-situ and provide deeper insights into hydration and crack formation processes during the test.
Aiming for an automated testing method close to the German guideline, the following technical and methodical challenges arise. Changing of the vertical orientation of the prisms with every manual measurement as standardised cannot be implemented. Furthermore, preliminary results already proved true that cooling and heating cycles, as necessarily associated with each manual measurement, can evoke additional expansion. Therefore, interrupted and continuously measured expansions reveal systematic differences, indicating the necessity to adjust the threshold expansion value for automated testing.
Results presented in the paper: Different types of reactive aggregate have been tested applying continuous and manual expansion measurement to the concrete specimens. Development of continuously measured ultrasonic velocity and acoustic emissions of the aggregates tested diverge significantly while the expansion curves vary in shape and maximum strain. Prisms produced from a slowly reacting aggregate do not exhibit noticeable crack formation. It shows that comprehensive measuring helps describing and distinguishing ASR-damage mechanisms.
Models of ASR-induced expansion, available in the open literature, so far are validated with discontinuous data hardly tracing the modelled curve. Continuous measurement improves validation and further model development.
