A new approach towards performance-related design and scientific evaluation of joint sealing systems
(2020)
While there is a permanent improvement of concrete pavement mixtures and pavement construction types over the last decades, the state-of-the-art joint sealing materials and joint constructions seem to stagnate on an antiquated empirical level. This status has been reaffirmed in the latest European standard.
The consequences in the motorway network due to unsatisfying capability and durability of joint sealing systems are unacceptable. In addition, inadequate traffic performance (noise emissions, roll-over comfort) and traffic safety losses in the joint area of concrete pavements are existing challenges. These deficits and weaknesses reflect a demand for joint sealing materials and constructions whose approval requirements take functional aspects into account. Furthermore a sufficient analysis of decisive loads and a practice-oriented method to evaluate the requirements towards performance and durability is still missed.
In this contribution decisive loads to German highways are analyzed. The design of test specimen for representative functional testing of joint sealing systems is discussed. The focus is on the geometry of the test specimens and the used concrete mixture. Finally, a new approach for a function-orientated test concept that considers representative load functions is presented. The potential of this approach to validate the durability and capability of various joint sealing systems is also presented using an example.
Composition and microstructure stability of cement compound under cyclic hydrothermal condition
(2020)
There have been many researches focused on the performance improvement of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) by autoclaving treatment. The goal of autoclaving is to increase the pozzolanic reaction, and to densify the cement stone and the transition zone which originates from the incorporation of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), such as silica fume, fly ash and blast furnace slag. Due to the superior properties, UHPC can also be utilized under high mechanical load and aggressive condition, for example, the fabrication of water tanks for thermal storage which is of great significance for saving energy and reducing CO2 emission. It is known that mineral stability of the hydration products of an inorganic binder is highly related to the temperature and pressure of the environment. A certain stable composition at room temperature, however, may undergo a phase transformation at high temperature and the performance decrease under this severe condition will generally be more severe. In this way, the rationale behind this deterioration under long-term hydrothermal condition involving many cycles and long duration has to be clarified, and then appropriate optimizing methods will be performed in order to obtain a kind of construction with high durability under aggressive environment. For this purpose, different types and amounts of SCMs are introduced into the standard mixture of UHPC and the phase compositions after autoclaving at 200 °C and 15.5 bar are determined by combined X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. Mercury intrusion porosimeter is used to characterise the microstructure of the samples. In order to establish the relationship between microstructure and macroscopic properties, compressive and flexural strength are also investigated.
Fault detection for linear parameter varying systems under changes in the process noise covariance
(2020)
Detecting changes in the eigenstructure of linear systems is a comprehensively investigated subject. In particular, change detection methods based on hypothesis testing using Gaussian residuals have been developed previously. In such residuals, a reference model is confronted to data from the current system. In this paper, linear output-only Systems depending on a varying external physical parameter are considered. These systems are driven by process noise, whose covariance may also vary between measurements. To deal with the varying parameter, an interpolation approach is pursued, where a limited number of reference models { each estimated from data measured in a reference state { are interpolated to approximate an adequate reference model for the current parameter. The problem becomes more complex when the different points of interpolation correspond to different noise conditions. Then con icts May arise between the detection of changes in the eigenstructure due to a fault and the detection of changes due to different noise conditions. For this case, a new change detection approach is developed based on the interpolation of the eigenstructure at the reference points. The resulting approach is capable of change detection when both the external physical parameter and the process noise conditions are varying. This approach is validated on a numerical simulation of a mechanical system.
Composite Facade Elements with Self-Cleaning Surface made of Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC)
(2020)
In the framework of the European project H-House various concrete façade elements were developed with the aim to ensure a long service life by combining a very durable material with self-cleaning properties. The façade elements presented are made of a shell of UHPC filled with blocks of aerated autoclaved concrete as insulating material. Self-cleaning properties were realized amongst others by imprinting a microstructure into the surface during casting. The paper focuses on selected technological aspects of the manufacturing process of prototypes which had to be performed in two concreting sections. Furthermore the challenges faced when upscaling the self-cleaning properties are addressed and the strategy to assess the self-cleaning properties by measuring the contact and the roll-off angel is presented. The results show that a successfull upscalaing process requires detailed planning and that the best results can often be achieved with a moderate work effort or material use.
Der Markt von LNG als Transportgut und als Kraftstoff ist seit Jahrzehnten kontinuierlich am Wachsen, wobei das Hauptanwendungsgebiet im Schiffsverkehr lag. LNG ist verflüssigtes Erdgas mit Hauptbestandteil Methan, das neben fossilen, aus erneuerbaren Quellen, wie synthetischen Methan oder Biogas, gewonnen werden kann. LNG hat als Kraftstoff sehr gute Eigenschaften dessen Potenzial als alternativer Kraftstoff zu Diesel im Schwerlast- und Fernverkehr gesehen wird. Dabei weist LNG gegenüber Diesel geringere Emissionen von CO2, Feinstaub, Stickoxiden und Lärm auf und hat gegenüber anderen erneuerbaren Energiespeichern wie CNG, Elektrobatterien oder Wasserstoff die höchste volumetrische und zweitgrößte gravimetrische Energiedichte. Neben seinen Vorteilen zu anderen erneuerbaren Energieträgern birgt LNG durch seine sehr niedrige Temperatur von bis zu 160°C und seiner Brennbarkeit aber auch neue Gefahren für Personen und Infrastrukturen.
Zur Bewertung von Gefahren und zur späteren Durchführung von Risikobewertungen bedarf es Methoden und Modellen deren Untersuchung Ziel des Forschungsprojekts war. Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung stellt die Freisetzung von LNG in Tunnel, mit sich anschließender Stoffausbreitung und verzögerter Zündung des Kraftstoff-Luftgemisches dar. Unfallszenarien mit Brandereignissen in Tunnel haben gezeigt, dass diese meist mit hohen Personen, Bauwerks und volkswirtschaftlichen Schäden verbunden sind. Des Weiteren zeigten Untersuchungen das von Gasexplosionen in Umschließungen wie sie ein Tunnel darstellt, mehr Gefahren ausgehen als von Gasexplosionen im Freifeld.
Im Vortrag werden die untersuchten Modelle und die aus dem Projekt gewonnenen Erkenntnisse für die Stoffausbreitung und Verbrennung der Gasphase von LNG in Umschließungen vorgestellt.
Inacceptable capability and durability of joint sealing systems but also inadequate traffic performance (noise emission; overrolling comfort) up to traffic safety aspects reflect the still enormous demand for data-based description of concrete pavements performance under heavy loading conditions. Especially the deformation behavior of concrete pavement slabs in the joint region in consideration of new pavement construction types and improved concrete mixtures meanwhile established but also under the steeply rising traffic loads is not sufficiently explored. To create a data basis for advanced design rules, evaluation methods and product standards - and with it to improve quality, durability and finally sustainability of pavements - an innovative 3-D sensor system SENSO JOINT adapted to german roadworking requirements and suitable for heavy-duty operating conditions was developed. The contribution introduced describes the development of an extensive technical solution based on the analysis of decisive loads, interactions and boundary conditions. Based on calibration data, results of laboratory testing and finally field-testing on different concrete pavement construction types the outcome of a multi-level evaluation process shall introduce the potential of the new sensor system.
Die geringe Zugfestigkeit von zementgebundenen Materialien kann durch die Zugabe von Fasern maßgeblich verbessert werden. Ziel eines gemeinsamen Verbundprojekts mit einem Industriepartner war die Erhöhung der Leistungsfähigkeit von kurzen Polymer- und Carbonfasern durch eine Verbesserung des Verbundes zwischen Faseroberfläche und Zementsteinmatrix.
Von der IONYS AG wurde dazu eine spezielle Funktionalisierung entwickelt, die über eine Hydrophilisierung der Faseroberfläche eine chemische Anbindung an die Zementsteinmatrix gewährleistet. Aufgabe der BAM war es, die Effizienz der neuen Beschichtung bezüglich der Erhöhung der Nachrissbiegezugfestigkeit und der Reduzierung der Schwindrissbildung während der Erhärtungsphase zu quantifizieren. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Funktionalisierung die Neigung zur Schwindrissbildung für die Carbonfasern und in noch stärkerem Maße für die Polymerfasern reduziert.
Eine Erhöhung der Nachrissbiegezugfestigkeit konnte dagegen nur für die deutlich steiferen Carbonfasern nachgewiesen werden.
Composite UHPC facade elements with self-cleaning surface: Aspects of technological manufacturing
(2020)
In the framework of the European collaborative project H-House, which was finished in 2017, large façade elements were developed consisting of a box shaped external shell of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) with a functionalized surface and an insulation of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC). The exposed concrete of the elements was further refined by adding self-cleaning properties to the surface through imprinting a microstructure in combination with chemical agents directly in the casting process. The paper focuses on selected technological aspects of the manufacturing process of large-scale prototypes. Presented are results of the upscaling process of functionalized surfaces from small specimen up to large UHPC composite facade elements produced for the construction of a demonstrator.
We present here a set of conceptual and numerical tools for a micromechanical simulation of general erosion problems involving fluid-saturated granular assemblies, whether frictional or cohesive. We propose a parallel computation using graphical processing units (GPUs) to treat large numbers of degrees of freedom with conventional desktop computers.
The fluid phase is here simulated with a particle-resolved approach in the frame of the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) while the granular solid phase is modelled as a collection of discrete particles from a Molecular Dynamics DEM perspective. The range of possible material behaviors for the solid granular phase is intended here to cover a broad spectrum from purely frictional to viscous cohesive materials with either brittle or transient debonding features. Specific details of the implementation and some validation cases will be put forward.
To conclude we provide some exemplary applications in the field of soil erosion along with details on the parallel performance of the models. The results show that a micromechanical approach can be feasible and useful in practice, providing meaningful insights into complex phenomena like the erosion threshold and kinetics of weakly cemented soils.
