Die Oberflächenrauheit eines Bauteils ist eine wichtige Kenngröße für zahlreiche seiner Eigenschaften. Der im Bauwesen übliche Rauheitsparameter ist die Rautiefe Rt bzw. MTD, die durch volumetrische Verfahren (Sandflächenverfahren) ermittelt wird und in zahlreichen Normen Verwendung findet. Laserbasierte Verfahren müssen deshalb eine Umrechnung der aus Oberflächenprofilen gewonnenen Informationen in Rt bzw. MTD ermöglichen. Hierzu wird i.A. ein empirischer Zusammenhang zwischen Parametern zur Beschreibung des Profils und der Rautiefe der entsprechenden Oberfläche verwendet. Der Aufsatz stellt verschiedene Rauheitsdefinitionen vor und vergleicht sie miteinander. Es wird ferner gezeigt, dass die nach verschiedenen Prüfvorschriften ermittelten Rautiefen voneinander abweichen. Das Vorgehen bei der Ermittlung des Zusammenhangs zwischen Profilparametern und Rautiefen nach einem volumetrischen Verfahren wird demonstriert und der Stand der laufenden Entwicklung eines Prüfgeräts auf Basis eines Linienlasers vorgestellt.
Die Hauptfunktion von Verschlussbauwerken für End- und Zwischenlager von radioaktiven Abfällen besteht in der Erhaltung der geologischen Barriere. Vor allem soll ein potenzieller Stofftransport durch eine möglichst geringe Permeabilität des Bauwerks verhindert bzw. auf vernachlässigbare Werte herabgesetzt werden. Die in-situ-Permeabilität des Verschlussbauwerks steht dabei in direktem Zusammenhang mit dessen Poren- und Makrostruktur, welche bei Bauwerken auf Basis von Beton insbesondere durch Schwind-verformungen und durch thermisch induzierte Rissbildung infolge der Reaktionswärmeentwicklung des Bindemittels gestört werden kann. Die Betone müssen daher neben einer hohen chemischen Langzeitstabilität auch eine geringe bzw. langsame Wärmeentwicklung während der Erhärtungsreaktionen aufweisen. Als hybride Zemente werden Mischungen aus Portlandzement, Betonzusatzstoffen und einem alkalischen Aktivator bezeichnet. Dabei können u. a. Alkalisulfate, Alkalicarbonate, Alkalisilicate und Alkalihydroxide als Aktivatoren zum Einsatz kommen. Aufgrund ihrer hohen chemischen Stabilität im salinaren Milieu sind Betone aus solchen Zementen potenziell besonders gut als Verfüllmaterial für End- und Zwischenlager im Steinsalz geeignet. In der vorliegenden Studie wurden daher hybride Zemente hinsichtlich ihrer Wärmeentwicklung in einem isothermen Kalorimeter sowie hinsichtlich Phasenbestand und Festigkeiten untersucht. Hybride Zementleime wurden auf Basis von Portlandklinker, Hüttensandmehl, Flugasche und Natriumsulfat hergestellt und die Zusammensetzungen systematisch variiert, um den Einfluss der Komponenten auf Wärmeentwicklung, Phasenbestand und mechanische Eigenschaften der Leime zu untersuchen; zusätzlich wurden zu Vergleichszwecken ein Zementleim auf Basis der Betonrezeptur M2 sowie eine alkalisch aktivierte Flugasche untersucht.
Additive manufacturing (AM) of alkali-activated materials is a promising method for producing ceramic precursors, construction elements and other parts. A recently introduced AM process is laser-induced slip casting of lithium aluminate/microsilica slurries, which yields parts with excellent mechanical strengths. To clarify the underlying mechanisms, μ-Raman spectroscopy was applied to parts produced by the process, and the dissolution and hydration of lithium aluminate was studied inter alia using conventional and in-situ X-ray diffraction. The results show that significant dissolution of lithium aluminate occurs, particularly at increased temperatures during laser interaction, which leads to an increase of pH and precipitation of an akopovaite-like Li-Al-CO3 layered double hydroxide. The increase of the pH is likely to induce dissolution of the microsilica and possibly formation of a hydrous lithium aluminosilicate gel. These observations explain the strength evolution of the studied parts and can also aid the development and improvement of related AM methods.
Thermo-mechanical and spalling behavior of normal weight and lightweight geopolymer concretes
(2016)
The mechanical and microstructural properties of two geopolymer concretes, produced with either quartz aggregate or expanded clay aggregate, were assessed before, during and after high-temperature exposure up to 750 °C in order to better understand the engineering properties of the material. SEM investigations were also undertaken to better understand the observed changes in the mechanical properties. It was found that dehydration of capillary water caused micro-cracking and strength losses at temperatures ≤ 300 °C. At higher temperatures (T ≥ 500 °C) sintering promoted strength increases, leading significant strength advantages over conventional concretes. Stress-mechanical strain curves, which are the basis of the fire design of concrete structures, were determined. In addition, the two geopolymer concretes where exposed to the ISO 834-1 standard fire curve in a small-scale spalling test set-up. Acoustic emission measurements during, and acoustic measurements and optical microscopy after heat exposure were employed to investigate crack formation during the tests. Both concretes did not spall, which is attributed to their comparatively high permeability and their low amount of chemically bound water. Significant crack formation was detected only around the temperature of the α–β quartz transition (573 °C) and on cooling. Because of aggregate deformations at the quartz transition temperature, deterioration after heating was more significant in the geopolymer concrete with quartz aggregates. Crack formation occurred also in the concrete with expanded clay aggregates, presumably caused by shrinkage of the geopolymer paste on cooling.
This study aims at investigating the use of coal fly ash-based alkali activated mortars as passive fire protection system for steel structures. These systems are used to slow down the temperature rise of the steel substrate in case of fire. In addition, the protective system should guarantee the ability to prevent and/or mitigate steel corrosion phenomena. The behavior of a light-weight mortar was compared to that of a normal-weight mortar. Density and porosity were measured to better characterize the physical properties of the mortars. The degree of protection in case of fire was assessed by performing medium-scale fire tests. Acoustic emission measurements were conducted to analyze cracking phenomena during the high temperature exposure. The corrosion process was evaluated using an electrochemical approach in order to monitor the durability of the developed material. Preliminary results show that a 20 mm-thick layer of light-weight mortar is able to protect the steel substrate from reaching the critical temperature of 500 °C for 38 minutes in case of cellulosic fire. In addition, alkali activated mortars provide protection for carbon steel in presence of aggressive environment (i.e. presence of chlorides). The corrosion resistance is strictly related to the physical properties of the developed mortars.
Hybrid cements are composites made of Portland cement or Portland clinker and one or more supplementary cementitious materials like slag, fly ash or metakaolin, activated with an alkali salt. To date, their hydration mechanism and the phase formation at various temperatures is insufficiently understood, partly due to the large variability of the raw materials used. In the present study, three hybrid cements based on ground granulated blast furnace slag, fly ash, Portland clinker and sodium sulfate, and an alkali-activated slag/fly ash blend were cured at 10 and 21.5°C, and subsequently analyzed by XRD, 27Al MAS NMR, and TGA. The compressive strength of the hybrid cements was higher by up to 27% after 91-day curing at 10°C, compared to curing at 21.5°C. The experimental results as well as thermodynamic modeling indicate that the differences in compressive strength were related to a different phase assemblage, mainly differing amounts of strätlingite and C-N-A-S-H, and the associated differences of the volume of hydration products. While the strätlingite was amorphous to X-rays, it could be identified by 27Al MAS NMR spectroscopy, TGA and thermodynamic modeling. The microstructural properties of the hybrid cements and the alkali-activated slag/fly ash blend as well as the compatibility between thermodynamic modeling results and experimental data as a function of curing temperature and time are discussed.
Alkali-activated slag materials are known for their high Chloride penetration resistance. This makes them potentially applicable as repair systems for damaged steel-reinforced concrete structures, which are exposed to chloride attack. For this purpose, the influence of the activator composition, i.e. the SiO2 and Na2O concentration of the alkaline solution on a) the compressive strength, b) shrinkage and mass change and c) the resistance against chloride penetration of four alkali-activated slag mortars (AASM) were studied. An ordinary Portland cement-based mortar was used as the reference sample. Increasing SiO2 and Na2O concentrations increased the strength, shrinkage and mass loss of the AASMs. The resistance of the mortars against chloride penetration was evaluated using the non-steady-state migration coefficient Dnssm obtained from NT BUILD 492. The results indicate that the Dnssm is related to differences in the pore solution of the AASMs rather than to differences in their microstructure. An upcoming study of the authors is going to evaluate this hypothesis by the accelerated chloride penetration (diffusion) test.
Slags from the nonferrous metals industry have great potential to be used as feedstocks for the production of alkali-activated materials. Until now, however, only very limited information has been available about the structural characteristics of these materials. In the work presented herein, synthetic slags in the CaO–FeOx–SiO2 system, representing typical compositions of Fe-rich slags, and inorganic polymers (IPs) produced from the synthetic slags by activation with alkali Silicate solutions have been studied by means of X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy at the Fe K-edge. The iron in the slags was largely Fe2+, with an average coordination number of approximately 5 for the iron in the amorphous fraction. The increase in average oxidation number after alkali-activation was conceptualized as the consequence of slag dissolution and IP precipitation, and employed to calculate the degrees of reaction of the slags. The degree of reaction of the slags increased with increasing amorphous fraction. The iron in the IPs had an average coordination number of approximately 5; thus, IPs produced from the Fe-rich slags studied here are not Fe-analogs of aluminosilicate geopolymers, but differ significantly in terms of structure from the latter.
This contribution presents the results of structural and compressive strength investigations on cured andhigh-temperature treated silica-based one-part geopolymer-zeolite composites. The specimens weresynthesized from two different silica sources, sodium aluminate and water. The phase content as well asthe compressive strength of the cured composites varied depending on the starting mix-design and thesilica feedstock. Besides geopolymeric gel, A-type zeolites and hydrosodalites were the major reactionproducts. One of the silica feedstocks yielded significantly higher compressive strength (19 MPa), whilethe other one appears to cause less variation in phase content. Strength testing indicated an improvementon heating up to
200–400 °C (28 MPa) followed by a moderate decrease up to 700 °C. Above 700 °C the sys-tems underwent new phase formation and shrinkage (volume decrease) deformations. After exposureat 1000 °C the different mixes consisted of a mix of several stuffed silica phases, almost pure hexago-nal nepheline or amorphous phase. Depending on the mix-design, the onset temperature of the hightemperature phase transformations varied.
