Selbstverdichtender Beton (SVB) findet kaum Anwendung als Transportbeton. Ein wesentlicher Grund hierfür ist, dass die Außentemperaturen auf der Baustelle nicht gesteuert werden können. Während des Betonierens können allerdings Schwankungen in der Umgebungstemperatur die rheologischen Eigenschaften aber auch das Erstarrungsverhalten signifikant beeinflussen, wodurch in der Folge auch Veränderungen im Festbeton auftreten können. Durch geeignete Wahl der Komponenten kann die Robustheit von SVB gegenüber Einflüssen aus den Umgebungsbedingungen deutlich verbessert werden.
In der vorgestellten Arbeit werden anhand von Untersuchungen am Betonrheometer, am Setzfließmaß und am Erstarren nach Vicat die Einflüsse von veränderlichen Umgebungstemperaturen auf die frühen Eigenschaften von SVB dargestellt. Der Fokus liegt auf Effekten, die durch die Modifikation von Polycarboxylatether-Fließmitteln und durch Stabilisierer eingetragen werden. Darüber hinaus wird der Einfluss des Mischungsentwurfes gezeigt. Die Ergebnisse werden mit Relevanz für praktische Betonanwendungen analysiert und es werden die wichtigen Einflussgrößen zur Verbesserung der Robustheit von SVB gegenüber Temperaturschwankungen herausgearbeitet.
Concrete technology was exposed to a rapid development during the last three decades. For the longest time in its history, concrete was considered as a three component System consisting of aggregates, which are bound by the hardened cement paste consisting of hydrated cement. Traditionally, the only way of adjusting the consistency of concrete was using well adjusted aggregates and grading curves and adding excess water to the concrete, accepting that the latter in return reduces strength and durability. During the last three decades, however, concrete has developed further from a three component System towards an (at least) five component system, since the use of mineral additions and Chemical admixtures has become state of the art. Both components are able to enhance the workability, the compactability, and the density of the microstructure with effects on strength, ductility and durability, while cement can be saved in parallel. Due to reasonable use of admixtures and additions, concrete can be designed to match mechanically high performance specifications. Traditionally, cement paste was considered the weakest component in concrete. Flowever, in modern concrete a good paste composition can yield highest performance, passing the role of the mechanical bottleneck towards the aggregates.
The SPIN project
(2011)
Globally, cement and concrete experts are at the cutting-edge to sustainable, green, healthy but nonetheless high-performance concrete. In the present age, concrete is not yet well established in Africa, which öfters the unique opportunity to build up a cement and concrete market based on the highest available state of technology. As this industry needs high level expertise, a central issue in implementation of skilled technology is cross-linking research institutions and laboratories. It should not be neglected that concrete is a product with comparably low transport ranges, which means that an improved concrete market will mainly support the local economy without exceeding financial drains to the international market, thus fostering the fight against poverty, which is an urgent need in most African countries.
The SPIN project highlights recent developments in the field of cement and concrete research with impact on the local and global economy. Challenges, future developments and opportunities for the African construction industry are in the focus.
The SPIN project is funded by the European Commission (EC) and supported by the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States under the project body of the ACP Science and Technology Programme. SPIN is acronym for “Spearhead network for Innovative, Clean and Safe Cement and Concrete Technologies”. The project aims to cross-link experts with industry and policy making bodies, aiming to establish sustainable cement and concrete construction in Africa.
