Rice husk as (RHA) is an eco-friendly material, which can be used as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in cement and concrete. Due to the high water demand for the material, superplasticizers (SPs) are essential to improve the performance. However, the interaction between the SPs and RHA systems is limited. This paper investigates the interaction of the binders with three SPs, i.e. two polycarboxylate ethers (PCEs) and one lignosulphonate (LS). The investigations are performed on blended systems of mortar containing various percentages of RHA and limestone powder (LSP). LSP is used in this research to improve the workability of the mortar. The results from the zeta potential (ZP) shows that the SPs are extremely dependent on the pH of the suspension. At higher pH values such as in a cementitious system, the ZP becomes less negative indicating that the ions in the suspension interact with the carboxyl groups in the backbone of the polymers thus reducing the surface charges of the SP. The mini-slump flow shows that the workability of the blended mortar systems is significantly improved with the addition of SPs. LS systems with increasing RHA is observed to have similar workability as the control mix over time. The compressive strength test results show increased strength for all mortar specimens with added RHA and LSP at later ages.
Superplasticizers (SPs) have been employed in concrete technology for decades to improve the workability of concrete in its fresh state. The addition of SPs in cement-based systems affects the early properties. Although the interaction of the cement particles with various SPs has been extensively researched, there still exists limited research on the interaction of SPs with supplementary cementitious materials such as rice husk ash (RHA). This paper investigates the rheological properties and early hydration kinetics of RHA-blended systems with three types of SPs, a polycarboxylate ether (PCE) and two lignosulphonates (LS-acc and LS-ret). In rheological properties, the addition of SP causes an initial improvement of workability as the yield stress is significantly reduced. The pastes with PCE and LS-acc show a slight increase of yield stress over time whereas pastes with LS-ret tend to lower the yield stress slightly over time, further improving the workability. Without SP, pastes with RHA show a lower yield stress but an increase in plastic viscosity as cement is further replaced with RHA. The addition of the LS SPs is observed to lower the plastic viscosity but remains constant with further replacement of cement with RHA. This indicates that LS SPs further adsorbs on RHA particles and hydration products produced causing dispersion of the particles
within the system. In early hydration kinetics, pastes with PCE retard hydration and the degree of retardation is further increased with LS SPs. In the presence of RHA, the retardation of LS SP systems is significantly reduced. The pastes with PCE show more ettringite in the SEM micrographs, but is observed to be shorter needles. This indicates an initial good workability for PCE. However, C-S-H and CH were observed to be low in quantity, whereby the pastes with LS show more nucleation sites for C-S-H and CH. The ettringite needles in the LS systems were similar in quantity and more elongated in some cases but not abundant as in the PCE systems.
The paper showed that the STA behave completely different in pastes with LSF and cement, respectively, as well as with or without PCE. While STA can affect plastic viscosity and yield stress in LSF and cement pastes, the addition of PCE causes that the STA have mainly an impact on plastic viscosity, except DGUM and ST-low. The performance of STA in LSF and cementitious systems can vary greatly due to different ionic strengths of the liquid phase. The charges due to modification of the starches have an intense influence on the rheological properties in pastes. The combined use of PCE and STA can lead to a significant increase of the plastic viscosity without a strong effect to the yield stress.
For the evaluation of the effectivity of STA the ionic strength of the liquid phase and the solid volume fraction of the binder have to be taken into account. Further influences can arise from grain size and aggregate content as well as the temperature, which were not discussed in this paper.
Der Anhang I der Bauproduktenverordnung EU 305/2011 definiert die an ein Bauwerk gestellten Grundanforderungen: „Bauwerke müssen als Ganzes und ihren Teilen für deren Verwendungszweck tauglich sein, wobei insbesondere der Gesundheit und der Sicherheit der während des gesamten Lebenszyklus der Bauwerke involvierten Personen Rechnung zu tragen ist“. Dementsprechend ist mit einer angemessenen Zuverlässigkeit ein mögliches Versagen des Bauwerkes auszuschließen und der vorgegebene Nutzungszweck ist für die vorgesehene Nutzungsdauer unter Berücksichtigung von wirtschaftlichen Gesichtspunkten zu gewährleisten.
Anhand der vorliegenden Präsentation wird für den Bereich des Massivbaus ein Überblick über die maßgebenden Normen auf nationaler und europäischer Ebene gegeben. Dies beinhalt relevante Normen für die Bemessung von Bauwerken sowie die Anforderungen an die verwendeten Baustoffe und deren Überwachung.
Current trend suggests that global energy consumption will increase in the future. This growing energy demand and advancement of technology lead to explore all potential offshore fossil and non-fossil energy sources, necessitating erection of exploration and production structures, rigs, platforms and towers, which are susceptible to adverse environmental conditions along with their maintenances. Cylindrical grouted joints provide suitable connections between steel substructure and foundation in these offshore platforms and wind structures especially monopiles for ease of installation. However, these are composite connections with exterior sleeve, interior pile and infill grout. The capacity of these connections is affected by number of factors. The literature over last four decades by numerous researchers has shown the development of these connections with increasingly higher capacities and influences on these capacities due to various factors. This paper provides a comprehensive review on the factors affecting the connection capacity along with technical challenges for the future. Critical aspects and shortcomings of the current connection systems and potential solutions may be sought after for these issues are also discussed.
Alkali-activated materials such as geopolymers are currently receiving a lot of attention because of their potential to be used as binders for concrete with advantageous engineering properties and reduced manufacturing CO2 emissions. Knowledge of the durability of steel in these concretes and related properties of alkali-activated materials is a prerequisite for their application as building materials, if they are to be used for steel reinforced elements. However, to date only limited data exists on this topic. The present contribution focuses on durability-related transport properties of geopolymer-based mortars (as model systems for concrete). We report results of accelerated carbonation, rapid chloride migration (RCM) and air permeability measurements as well as porosity data for fly ash-based geopolymer mortars, including mixes containing ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS). In addition, we report polarization resistance data and corrosion potential vs. time curves for carbon steel bars embedded in two of the fly ash-based geopolymer mortars and a CEM I-based mortar (as reference).
Despite comparable total porosities, the carbonation depths, the chloride migration coefficients and the air permeabilities of the mortars differed significantly. In general, the addition of GGBFS to the binders improved the performance (decreased transport coefficients); however, this was not found to be true for the air permeability in all cases. This latter effect can be explained by drying damage of the C-(A-)S-H gel in GGBFS-containing binders. On the other hand, low transport coefficients can also be achieved by optimization of the binder formulation without the addition of GGBFS, which is also reflected in the material’s air permeability. Thus, there exists no simple correlation between air permeability (of harshly dried mortars) and durability-related transport coefficients for the studied alkali-activated materials.
The corrosion potential vs. time curves in combination with polarization resistance values reveal that the steel reinforcement in geopolymer mortars assumed a passive state. However, this happened considerably later than for steel in CEM I-based mortars. The free corrosion potential of carbon steel reinforcement in the geopolymer mortars had different values than the free corrosion potential values for the CEM I-based mortar for both the active and the passive state; possible reasons for this behavior are discussed.
