Fugenfüllsysteme für Fahrbahnbeläge unter höchsten Beanspruchungen bestimmen in zunehmenden Maße die sichere Verfügbarkeit des Autobahnnetzes. Die aktuellen europäischen technischen Regelungen zu deren Verwendbarkeit folgen noch einem spezifikatorischen Ansatz auf empirischen Grundlagen. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass ein solcher Ansatz den Dauerhaftigkeits- und Nutzungsanforderungen nicht mehr entsprechen kann. Der Autor plädiert in seinem Vortrag für einen Paradigmenwechsel hin zu einem funktionsanalytischen Bewertungsansatz. Es werden Vorschläge für eine versuchstechnische Lösung des Problems und die damit verbundenen Chancen für Optimierung und Innovation aufgezeigt.
Die Ausführung von Abdichtungssystemen insbesondere an Ingenieurbauwerken der Verkehrsinfrastruktur greift in die unmittelbare Verfügbarkeit/Nutzbarkeit des Bauwerks ein und erfolgt deshalb i.a.R. unter höchstem Zeitdruck. Neuere materialtechnische Entwicklungen im Bereich der Flüssigkunststoff-Systeme erlauben kürzere Ausführungszeiten in einem erweiterten Einsatzspektrum. Zur Sicherstellung anforderungsgerechter Gebrauchseigenschaften des gesamten Brückenabdichtungssystems gibt die vorliegende Veröffentlichung Hinweise für die einzuhaltenden Baugrundsätze, bautechnologische Besonderheiten und Erfordernisse im Umgang mit Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA) sowie qualitätssichernde Maßnahmen.
Reliable performance of structural sealant glazing (SSG) systems is necessary to utilise advantages of SSG in glass facades. Conventional durability assessment of structural sealant joints is based on separated weathering tests and empirical fatigue testing. This work presents a new test methodology for performance assessment of SSGjoints at simultaneous weathering and two-dimensional mechanical loading. The climatic and mechanical load function were derived from common loading scenarios according to a worst case approach. A System test specimen, resembling a common SSG-joint, was exposed to 24 h of combined loading in a custom-designed test facility. From the recorded mechanical system response, characteristic parameters were evaluated to assess the performance of the system at varying climatic and mechanical conditions. These experimental results reveal effects of ambient conditions, previous loading and deformation Amplitude peaks on the system response. The proposed test methodology opens up for new performance-related approaches in durability testing.
Flexible joint transition systems in the form of bituminous joint transitions, type 4.1a according to RTD1007-1, have been used in the Netherlands with varying success. The lifespan in practice was found to vary greatly: between 1 and 5 years. This is too short a lifespan in relation to the lifespan of the layers of asphalt pavement. Ideally, the replacement of these bituminous joint transitions should take place simultaneously as the maintenance of the asphalt layers.
In the meantime, research has been carried out nationally and internationally into improving the life span of bituminous joint transitions. In Germany and Switzerland, the regulations have been shown to lead to a life span of more than 10 years. On this basis, ETAG032-3 was established in the context of EOTA in 2013.
In a competition "Silent sustainable joint transitions" held by the Dutch Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management in the period 2007-2012, three flexible bituminous joint transitions have already been tested, two of which were ultimately found to be suitable. These have been included in the multi-choice matrix (RTD 1007-1) as concept 4.1b (anchored bituminous joint transition) and 4.1c (unanchored bituminous joint transition with stretch-spreading inlay and poured asphalt edge beams). Monitoring these joint transitions in practice over the past 8 years has shown that the desired life span is achievable with these improved joint transitions.
It is expected that the improvement in life span achieved abroad can also be realised in the Netherlands if several aspects specific to the Netherlands are taken into account:
For large parts of the Dutch main road network, the traffic intensity of 500,000 heavy vehicles per year assumed in the ETAG032-3 is insufficient. This is a factor 4 to 5 higher on the busiest main roads in the Netherlands.
On 90% of the Dutch main road network, in contrast to countries such as Germany and Switzerland, an open layer (ZOAB (zeer open asfaltbeton [very open asphalt concrete])) is used.
In the Netherlands, in contrast to countries such as Germany and Switzerland, bridges and viaducts are made on a large scale of prefabricated beams and 'floating' support systems that consist entirely of rubber supports that can be deformed all-round. Such constructions have a less favourable, high-frequency deformation behaviour under traffic load.
In Germany and Switzerland, a minimum joint mass temperature of -20 °C is assumed to test bituminous joint transitions. For the Netherlands, -15 °C is assumed, which has a favourable effect.
The present second version of RTD 1007-4 is a guideline for the development and realisation of a new generation of more durable flexible joint transitions with a minimum design life of 10-15 years and is a guideline for contractors to demonstrate that a flexible joint transition system meets the requirements as set out in the Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management guideline RTD 1007-2.
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 durabilty 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.
Durability Assessment of Structural Sealant Glazing Systems applying a Performance Test Method
(2020)
During the service life of a Structural Sealant Glazing (SSG) facade, its silicone bond is exposed to climatic, chemical, and mechanical loads. While current durability assessment methods schedule separate test programmes for accelerated weathering and fatigue, the presented test applies mechanical loading and weather cycling simultaneously to simulate 50 years of use. Specifically designed medium-scale system specimens resemble a common SSG-bond. Displacement-controlled sinusoidal load cycles in two load directions subject these specimens to tensile, compression and shear loads. Weathering comprises temperature and humidity cycles, UV-radiation, and application of water and detergent. During testing, the forces transmitted by the system specimens are continuously measured for performance assessment. The resulting system response reveals mechanical performance characteristics like elastic moduli and dissipated energies which decrease during exposure, indicating stress relaxation and degradation. Two common structural sealants were tested. After testing, sections of the system specimens were subjected to tensile and shear tests for mechanical characterisation. Strengths and moduli are notably reduced by combined loading compared to those of reference and weathered specimens. Hardness and visual inspections of the bond correlate with the performance and bond characteristics. The approach introduced in this article provides a basis for life cycle assessment of SSG-systems.
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.

Voraussetzung zur Aufklärung von Fugenbewegungen in hochbeanspruchten Verkehrsflächen aus Beton ist ein neues, innovatives und sensitives Sensorsystem, welches unter den Bedingungen der Autobahnpraxis schnell und sicher in entsprechend beanspruchte Bereiche installiert werden kann und in der Lage ist, stabile und hochaufgelöste Bewegungen in mehrere Raumrichtungen zu erfassen. Das durch die BAM neu entwickelte Sensorsystem ist geeignet, um direkt in die Betonfahrbahndecke integriert zu werden und sowohl über saisonale Messbereiche als auch in hoher Auflösung entsprechende Messwerte online zu erfassen und bereit zu stellen. Das für diesen Zweck entwickelte innovative Sensorsystem kann direkt in die Rollspur auf beiden Seiten der Fuge eingebaut werden und ist dafür ausgelegt, Lkw-Überfahrungen zu widerstehen. Es ist schnell und präzise genug, um die realen Bewegungen in allen drei Raumachsen in Echtzeit erfassen zu können. Dieser Forschungsbericht beschreibt das Funktions- und Wirkschema des Sensorsystems und seine Validierung im Labor- und Feldmaßstab. Dabei wird insbesondere auch die praxisgerechte Einbau- und Nutzungsmethodik vorgestellt. Auflösungsvermögen, Robustheit und Nutzerfreundlichkeit werden am Beispiel einer Konzeptstudie auf dem Testgelände DuraBASt erprobt. Es werden grundlegende Hinweise auf den dringlichen Bedarf einer gebrauchsgerechten Beschreibung des realen Verhaltens des Bauwerks Betonstraße identifiziert.
Die mit dem Sensorsystem gewonnenen Daten können eine Grundlage für die Konzeption einer performance-basierten Bewertung von Fugenfüllsystemen in Betondecken von Bundesautobahnen bieten. Sie sind geeignet, die Funktionsmechanismen der verschiedenen Betonfahrbahnkonstruktionen besser zu verstehen und zielgerichtet konstruktive und materialtechnische Optimierungen und Fortentwicklungen von Fugenkonstruktionen und Fugenfüllsystemen in gebrauchsbezogener Weise zu entwickeln. Durch weitere Datenerhebung, -fusion und -analyse können Instandsetzungsintervalle und Lebensdauerzyklen besser abgeschätzt und geplant werden.
