The operational principle for today's bridge deck surfacings is a strong and durable bond between all layers of the pavement and the concrete structure under all loads. A strong bond helps to ensure the desired safety level against water penetration. But in use there is a strong loading of the bond by crack development in the structure or pavement and its dynamical movement. To ensure the sealing function of the bridge deck surfacing over the time its waterproofing has to show a durable crack bridging ability. With it the useful life of the bridge deck surfacing is essentially determined. To characterise the influences on a durable bond strength and crack bridging ability of waterproofings special research and tests were realised in the BAM. From the test results it is possible to detect suitable waterproofing layers and differences in durability. Tensile fatigue strength and other mechanical features seems to be special suited material characteristics to describe the crack bridging behaviour of waterproofing layers.
lm Jahre 2001 wurden einheitliche vertragliche, material- und konstruktionsspezifische Regelungen über die Ausführung, Prüfung und Abnahme von Fugenfüllungen in Verkehrsflächen eingeführt. Mit dem vorliegenden Beitrag soll die ZTV Fug-StB 01 vorgestellt und in das Technische Regelwerk zur Ausbildung von Betonfahrbahndecken im Bundesfernstraßenbau eingeordnet werden.
Joint sealants influence decisively the performance and service life of pavements although they account for only a small fraction of the total investment. Motivated by the damages observed and the resulting, increasing maintenance efforts, the Federal German Government recognizes the need for performance-evaluated joint sealing systems with improved capability (fitness-for-purpose) and durability. A literature study showed that an identification of the actual mechanical system behavior under realistic loads as well as a prediction regarding the durability (fatigue, climatic effects) of joint sealing systems are either completely lacking in most of the relevant evaluation methods or have only been incompletely addressed previously. Furthermore an imbalance between commonly used test methodologies and the actual development status of modern modified sealing materials exists, i.e., the current test methods are not effective in evaluating the performance of tailor-made products. In this paper, the authors suggest a methodology to overcome the present situation. In contrast to the existing, predominantly empirical evaluation and selection of joint sealing materials and systems for pavements, the new approach is defined by verified performance under relevant and superimposed loads. This new approach is expected to allow a more engineered joint design. In addition to the adaptation of performance-oriented material identification tests, a special focus was placed on the development and installation of a complex test facility for the investigation of the service capability and durability of joint sealing systems in building constructions in general. This paper presents an attempt at the realization of this approach for pavement joints with the help of our new joint sealant test equipment utilizing a specific, adapted load function, which comprises cyclic movements (slow and fast acting), as well as crucial climatic exposures. The test data and its interpretation are discussed. For example, the actual mechanical behavior of the various joint sealing systems as well as the relevant maximum loading of cohesive and adhesive bonds can be deduced and used to differentiate between systems. Furthermore, information gained allows discrimination of products within the various joint sealing systems. The test results will also enable numerical simulations, e.g., of different joint designs or materials by finite element analysis. The fatigue behavior is detected by analysis of cycle-dependent changes of the mechanical system characteristics. The evaluation methodology further allows investigation of the degradation mechanisms of specific system failures and, thus, enables service life prediction by reproducing the performance of the complete system under realistic conditions. Constructional defects and material flaws can be activated and detected by the performance-related test methodology, thus identifying possible corrections to material selection and application procedures. The potential of the proposed evaluation methodology is discussed for several thermoplastic and reactive joint sealing systems.
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.
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.
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.
