Unter Berücksichtigung praktischer und wissenschaftlich-technischer Erkenntnisse der letzten 15 Jahre - insbesondere auch auf der Basis verschiedener BAM-Forschungsergebnisse und Zulassungsverfahren - erfolgte eine Überarbeitung der Grundlagen, Bauprinzipien, Ausführungs- und Einbaukriterien sowie der Zulassungs- und Gütesicherungsmaßnahmen für insgesamt 4 Bauarten von Fugenfüllsystemen für hochbeanspruchte Verkehrsflächen. In diesem - für den Bundesfernstraßenbereich verbindlichen bautechnischen Regelwerk - finden insbesondere auch die Ergebnisse mehrerer wissenschaftlicher Vorhaben der BAM bezüglich labortechnischer Untersuchungen und Felduntersuchungen zum Funktionsverhalten und zur Dauerhaftigkeit erste baurechtliche Konsequenzen. Auf der Basis von Untersuchungen u.a. im Brückenbau wurden Regelungen für die Fugenausbildung in Asphalt und bei Befestigungskombinationen erarbeitet und umgesetzt. Damit konnten umfassende Regelungen für die maßgebenden Fahrbahnbeläge im Bundesfernstraßenbereich der Straßenbauverwaltung und ausführenden Industrieunternehmungen zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Die Neufassung dieser Regelungen dient darüber hinaus dem Ziel, den von der BAM vertretenen Wechsel hin zu einer performance-bezogenen Bewertungsmethodik, vorzubereiten.
Nach mehr als 15-jähriger Anwendung und mit der zwischenzeitlichen Einführung europäisch harmonisierter Normen für Fugenmaterialien war eine Anpassung Qualitäts- und Gütesicherungsanforderungen für Fugenfüllungen im Bundesfernstraßenbereich erforderlich. Hierbei ging es insbesondere darum, Maßnahmen und Verfahren zu entwickeln, um das nationale Qualitäts- und Gütesicherungsniveau weiter zu entwickeln und weiterhin sicher stellen zu können. Nach den Untersuchungserfahrungen im Labor und im Feld ging darum, neuartige Material- und Stoffkombinationen qualitätssicher dem Bauprozess zur Verfügung stellen zu können. Erforderliche Anforderungskriterien und zulässige Toleranzen der Lieferqualität wurden neu gefasst. Es wurde ein Verfahren entwickelt, europäische Bauprodukte qualitätsgesichert in den Bauprozess im Bundesfernstraßenbericht zu überführen.
Die Anforderungen der modernen Infrastruktur machen schnell ausführbare Abdichtungs- und Brückenbelagssysteme für den Bundesfernstraßenbereich erforderlich. Dazu gibt es innovative Systemansätze, in denen unter Ausnutzung neuer asphalttechnologischer Erkenntnisse und Weiterentwicklungen innovative Belagsaufbauten in Ergänzung zum bestehenden technischen Regelwerk erarbeitet werden. Diese neuartigen Asphaltmaterialien mit verbesserten Asphalt-Gebrauchseigenschaften (Standfestigkeit; Tieftemperaturverhalten) werden durch Kombination mit neuartigen Flüssigkunststoffen zur Aufnahme von schnelle wiederholten Bewegungen (Rissüberbrückungseigenschaften) nochmals verbessert. Durch das optimierte Gebrauchsverhalten und die systembedingten technologischen Verbesserungen ist es bei Einhaltung besonderer materialtechnischer Anforderungen möglich, leistungsfähige Brückenabdichtungs- und Belagssysteme in deutlich schnellerer Bauzeit instandzusetzen bzw. im Neubau auszuführen. Die vorliegende Veröffentlichung verallgemeinert u. a. wissenschaftlich-technische Erkenntnisse der BAM und Erfahrungen im Umgang mit den spezialisierten Baustoffen in eine für die Straßenbaubehörden des Bundes und der Länder praktisch umsetzbare Weise.
Structural sealant glazing (SSG) is an impressive technical response to the challenges of modern structural design. The evaluation of fitness for use as well as durability is a precondition for approval of SSG-façades by building authorities because of their special safety relevance. However, the potential of the actual evaluation methodology to reproduce performance as well as durability under real use conditions is generally assessed to be limited. The concept so far is criticized as mainly single-loading and incomplete in comparison to the real use conditions. The exercised separation of the in reality interacting loading effects is assessed as insufficient and inadequate to explore performance. Consequently, the performance and capability of SSG-solutions is only fragmentarily explored. However, the most restricting argument so far is the deficit of the actual test methodology for life cycle prognosis under interacting mechanical as well as climatic loads. Because of the limited acceptance, additional structural design conditions are imposed by the authorities. Besides this restriction, there is also an increasing demand by the authorities, architects, and users for determinable working life cycles, not least under economic aspects. That is why knowledge, particularly regarding SSG-performance and durability, must be expanded. Together with partners representing all branches involved in façade engineering (engineering design, sealant producer, applicator, and cladding company) the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) develops a new system test focused on the substrate–sealant–glass panel interaction. With it, a new comprehensive dynamic–mechanical evaluation methodology already introduced at the fourth Symposium in Anaheim, CA, in 2011 shall be complemented by a performance-related system test. Subject-matter of this contribution is the presentation of a new dynamic–mechanical system test method and its first experimental application on SSG-systems. We describe our approach beginning with the discussion of relevant load effects on sealant joints and with the help of a highly generalized finite element (FE) analysis. Resulting from a parameter study of various load combinations acting on different SSG-construction types, we derive a practicable deformation load function from the decisive load categories taking into account regular as well as extraordinary loads. Assumptions and procedures to quantify their parameter values (regarding the effective direction and order of deformation magnitude affecting the substrate–sealant–glass bond) are discussed. The calculated decisive sealant deformations resulting from the parameter study are validated by simplified mechanical plausibility tests. Subsequently, the transfer of the findings about the substrate–sealant–glass panel bond loading into the design and construction of an adapted system test specimen and the development of a multifunctional test facility is introduced. The multi-functional applicability of the system test device is discussed. On the basis of results during our actual operational checks, first ideas about system performance and durability under superimposed loading are presented. A validation of this new test methodology by comparison to test results of disassembled samples and in situ results is a task for separate research activities.
More information about the capability and especially about the durability of structural sealant glazing (SSG) systems are needed. To make a contribution to unanswered questions, a suitable system evaluation test is necessary. The basis for such a test is a load function, which accounts for the decisive loads SSG systems are exposed to during their working life. This paper proposes a general load function for standard SSG systems at central German locations for accelerated durability tests. Decisive loads are determined and different SSG construction types defined. The performance of these SSG systems under exposure to external loads and to a dynamic pendulum impact is investigated via finite element analyses using a hyperelastic material model. The external loads are applied separately and superimposed. Compression, tensile, and shear deformations of the sealant are determined. It is found that the sealant is subjected to normal and shear stresses simultaneously. The requirements for a representative specimen are derived. The results will be taken as basics for the development and the construction of a test facility to evaluate the durability of structural sealant glazing systems.
Properties of pipe steels for CCS technology require resistance against the corrosive environment of a potential CCS-site (heat, pressure, salinity of the aquifer, CO2-partial pressure). The influence of austenitizing in heat treatment routines of two different injection pipe steels (1.4034, X46Cr13 and 1.4021, X20Cr13) was evaluated. Steel coupons were austenitized at different temperatures (900 – 1050 °C) for different lengths of time (30–90 min) before quenching and annealing prior to long term corrosion experiments (60°C, 100 bar, artificial brine close to a CCS-site in the Northern German Basin, Germany). In general, fewer pits are found on X46Cr13. Comparing steels with 13% chromium each the higher carbon content of X46Cr13 (0.46% C) results in a lower number of pits compared to X20Cr13 (0.20% C). It is found that neither the carbon content of the steels nor austenitizing temperature has much influence, but local corrosion behaviour is most susceptible towards austenitizing time
Monitoring of cracks in historic concrete structures using optical, thermal and acoustical methods
(2015)
Cracks are a major issue in the field of cultural heritage. In order to evaluate the significance of a crack, a long term monitoring of the damaged region is required. However, there is a lack of easy to operate tools for such monitoring measures. Therefore, new or existing methods for other applications have to be optimised for cultural heritage investigation. The paper describes the application of such crack observation methods on a historic concrete sculpture. Beside conventional methods, like mapping by hand and ultrasonic depth profiling, a novel tracking system is presented. Furthermore, the suitability of active thermography for the investigation of cracks was investigated. The results show promising prospects for these non-destructive techniques.
Naturwissenschaftliche Verfahren gewinnen zunehmend an Bedeutung bei der Untersuchung von Kunst und Kulturgut und bei der Entwicklung von Konservierungskonzepten zum Erhalt des kulturellen Erbes.
Neben bildgebenden Verfahren wie der Computertomographie oder der Radiographie sind materialanalytische Verfahren von großer Wichtigkeit. Durch die Miniaturisierung elektronischer Bauteile kommen immer mehr mobile Untersuchungstechniken auf den Markt, so dass Kulturgüter vor Ort im musealen Kontext untersucht werden können.
The inevitable increase of torque or load, because of lightweight approaches, pushes the oil-film temperatures on the teeth flanks of gears above 200°C, and requires alloys with higher strength and toughness properties. Furthermore, the real temperature on surfaces during the physical vapor deposition (PVD) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of thin films can exceed the annealing temperature of the state-of-the-art bearing and gear materials, such as AISI 52100 (1.3505), 16MnCr5 (1.7131), 21NiCrMo (1.6523), and 30CrMoV9 (1.7707). Such trends call for slip-rolling-resistant, alternative alloys suited for contact stresses above P0max of >2.2 GPa. The tribological profile under slip-rolling conditions at 120°C in a factory engine oil (SAE 0W-30, ACEA A3/B4, ν120°C = 5.33 mPa, HTHS150°C = 3.0 mPa) until 10 × 106 load cycles between P0max of 2.25 GPa to 3.92 GPa of uncoated 100Cr6 (1.3505, PBQ), 102Cr6 (1.2067), Cronidur 30 (1.4108, DESU), 45SiCrMo6 (1.8062, CVEM), 40SiNiCrMo1 [vacuum arc remelting (VAR)], CSS-42L (AMS 5932, vacuum induction melting (VIM)-VAR, and carburized), 36NiCrMoV1-5-7 (CAB), ASP2012 (ASP), and 20MnCr5 (1.7131, carburized) was established in twin disk machines (Amsler-type and 2Disk). The present benchmark illuminates the tribological impact of uncoated bearing steels in comparison to uncoated alternative steel alloys on friction, wear and slip-rolling resistance, as well as load carrying capacity. Iron-based steel alloyed with silicon or molybdenum reduces alloying costs and avoids thermo-chemical treatments. This benchmark suggests considering an extension to fracture toughness from hardness and strength as a relevant property for slip-rolling alloys. If slip-rolling resistant, the wear rates of the metallurgical different steels were more or less within one order of magnitude, but the influence of increasing contact stresses on the tribological profile differed significantly.
The ground vibrations, which are generated by trains on different tracks, have been calculated by finite-element boundary-element models. The ballasted track is modelled in detail by the finite element method. The infinite soil is modelled by the boundary element method as a homogeneous or layered half-space. The track-soil system is coupled to a simple rigid mass model of the vehicle so that the vehicle-track interaction is completely included. Transfer functions are calculated in frequency domain without and with vehicle-track interaction, the compliance of the track and the mobilities of the soil at different distances from the track. Finally, the ratios between the ground vibration amplitudes with and without mitigation measures are calculated to quantify the effectiveness of the mitigation measures.
Tracks with under-sleeper pads have been investigated in a wide parameter study for the RIVAS project. The main parameters that influence the reduction of ground vibration are the stiffness of the under-sleeper pad, the mass and the width of the sleeper. The softest sleeper pad yields the best reduction of the ground vibration. The influence of the sleeper mass is not so strong, as the characteristic frequency is ruled by the mass of the sleeper and the mass of the wheelset as well.

In this paper we present the results of imaging studies of ancient Egyptian metallic artifacts using micro-Computed Tomography (micro-CT). Micro-CT is a non-destructive imaging method with high spatial resolution, which enables the examination of the internal structure of objects. It is thus especially suitable for the investigation of cultural heritage and archaeological findings, when it is not possible to sample or difficult to manipulate the object. Using specialized software for 3D visualization and segmentation, data sets of two objects were analyzed. We gained a clear view of the inner structure of a metallic archaeological artifact from the necropolis of Abusir el-Meleq, which is believed to be very ancient in the Egyptian archaeological context (from the Predynastic Era), and were able to distinguish its different omponents under the thick layers of external concretions. These components give hints about the production technology of the object. We also investigated the contents of a closed metal box found near Abusir dated to the Late/Greco-Roman Period. The identified Content corresponds either to sediments or to mineral remains of the original content of the box. Both artifacts are from excavations conducted in Egypt and are part of the archeological collection of the Ägyptisches Museum und Papyrussammlung in Berlin.
To resist the corrosive geothermal environment during carbon capture and storage CCS -such as: heat, pressure, salinity of the aquifer, CO2-partial pressure, properties of pipe steels-require certain specification. For evaluation samples of differently heat treated high alloyed stainless injection-pipe steels AISI 420 X46Cr13, AISI 420J X20Cr13 as well as X5CrNiCuNb16–4 AISI 630 were kept at T=60 °C and ambient pressure as well as p=100 bar for 700 h up to 8000 h in a CO2-saturated synthetic aquifer environment similar to a possible geological situation in the northern German Basin. Corrosion rates and scale growth are lowest after long term exposure for steels hardened and tempered at 600 °C to 670 °C and pits -indicating local corrosion- decrease in diameter but increase in number as a function of carbon content of the steel. Martensitic microstructure is preferred with respect to these particular conditions.
Bottom ash from municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) consists of eiemental metals in considerable amounts. The fine fraction < 4 mm additionally contains chemically bound metals (oxides, carbonates, Silicates). Separation prospects with techniques as in ore processing (flotation, density separation, bioleaching, hydrothermal solution) are discussed. During alteration after wet extraction mineral material with hydraulic properties form coatings on almost all particles of the bottom ash and complicate separation procedures. ln addition bottom ash from MSWI is a heterogeneaus material. For sufficient enrichment different concerted treatment steps seemed to be essential associated with an uncertainty of economic viability. The utilisation of metal compounds present in bottom ash as secondary raw material depends on the energy- and resource-efficiency of the enrichment processes. Therefore energy and material flow considerations are presented.
Wie viele Forschergruppen, haben auch wir uns das langfristige Ziel gesetzt, einen Beitrag bei der Beantwortung der Frage zu leisten, was Hunde riechen, wenn sie Krebs erschnüffeln.
Dabei sollen die Hunde nicht nur anzeigen, ob eine Atemluftprobe positiv oder negativ ist, sondern sie sollen auch aktiv eingebunden werden in den systematischen Suchprozess nach detektierbaren Biomarkern. So ist geplant, dass mittels eines präparativen Fraktionssammlers definierte Schnitte des Gaschromatogramms einzeln oder in möglichen Kombinationen auf das Adsorbervlies gebracht werden, um im Hundetraining eingesetzt zu werden. In analoger Weise könnte auch mit spezifischen Kandidatensubstanzen verfahren werden.
