Special applications like pumping, spraying or printing of concrete require the precise adjustment of very specific rheological properties at different time steps during the casting process. Superplasticizers such as polycarboxylate ethers (PCE) can be used to obtain the required flowability, which, possibly in combination with additional rheology modifying admixtures, generate the required specified consistency. However, after the application, the concrete should change the rheological properties immediately in order to avoid deformations at rest. Therefore, the use of accelerators can be effective. Accelerators influence the hydration of cementitious materials, and thus the rheological properties over the course of time and the setting.
In this paper, the influence of different accelerators on the rheology and early hydration of cement paste as well as the interaction of accelerator and PCE are presented. Methods like rheometry, needle penetration tests and practical Tests like spread flow were applied. The used accelerators showed accelerating behavior on the cement pastes without and in the presence of PCE. At the same time an influence on the rheology could be observed. This effect was less in the mixes with PCE, especially at the highest water/cement ratio (w/c).
Viscosity-modifying agent (VMA) are used in several applications of concrete, such as underwater concrete, Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) or Self-Levelling Underlayments (SLU) in order to improve the washout resistance and the stability. The study focuses on the modifications of cement pastes properties implied when a VMA (hydroxypropyl guars or HPG) and a superplasticizer are introduced together. For reaching this objective, two chemically different polycarboxylate-based superplasticizers (PCE) and two HPGs exhibiting different molar substitution ratios (MSHP), were studied. A method, combining total organic carbon and size exclusion chromatography, was developed in order to quantify the adsorption of the both admixtures. The adsorption of HPGs appears being significantly lowered by the presence of PCE, while only the adsorption of the less charged PCE is slightly affected by the HPG. As consequence, strong modifications of the rheological properties of cement pastes were noticed when HPG and PCE are combined. The desorption of HPG leads to higher yield stress and residual viscosity than with PCE alone.
Organic/inorganic mixtures were prepared from ordinary Portland cement (OPC), water (w/c 0.22), a fluorescent dye in aqueous solution (stable at alkaline pH; BAM-I), and two different comb shape polycarboxylates (PCEs), i.e., high charge (PCE-HC) and low charge (PCE-LC), respectively. Rheological and calorimetric measurements were performed prior to optical studies in order to select PCE concentrations. Absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy of the system OPC + BAM-I (CBAM-I) revealed maxima of dye BAM-I located at 645 nm and 663 nm, respectively. In presence of PCE-HC and PCE-LC, these mixtures displayed a small red shift in reflectance and a faster decrease in intensity compared to studies with CBAM-I; however, only slight differences were observed between the different PCEs. With time, all systems exhibited a decrease in intensity of BAM-I in absorption/reflectance and emission. This could be caused by dye adsorption and possibly decomposition when in contact with cement particles or hydration products.
A thorough characterization of starting materials is the precondition for further research, especially for cement, which contains various phases and presents quite a complex material for fundamental scientific investigation. In the paper at hand, the characterization data of the reference cement CEM I 42.5 R used within the priority program 2005 of the German Research Foundation (DFG SPP 2005) are presented from the aspects of chemical and mineralogical compositions as well as physical and chemical properties. The data were collected based on tests conducted by nine research groups involved in this cooperative program. For all data received, the mean values and the corresponding errors were calculated. The results shall be used for the ongoing research within the priority program.
Grouts have numerous applications in construction industry such as joint sealing, structural repair, and connections in precast elements. They are particularly favoured in rehabilitation of structures due to penetrability and convenience of application. Grouts for repair applications typically require high-performance properties such as rapid strength development and superior shrinkage characteristics. Sometimes industrial by-products referred as supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) are used with neat cement due to their capabilities to provide binding properties at delayed stage. Micro silica, fly ash and metakaolin are such SCMs, those can modify and improve properties of cement products. This study aims at investigating long-term mass loss and linear shrinkage along with long-term compressive and flexural strength for grouts produced from ultrafine cement and SCMs. A series of mixtures were formulated to observe the effect of SCMs on these grout properties. Properties were determined after 365 days of curing at 23oC and 55% relative humidity. The effect of SCMs on the properties are characterised by statistical models. Response surfaces were constructed to quantify these properties in relation to SCMs replacement. The results suggested that shrinkage was reduced by metakaolin, while micro silica and fly ash had positive effects on compressive and flexural strength, respectively.
In the 21st century, adequate habitat and functioning infrastructure are critical for global societal and economic stability. In addition, growing urbanisation and environmental pollution cause challenges to societies.
With increasing velocity, humanity faces that the current way of living is not sustainable. Thus, habitat,infrastructure, urbanisation, environment and sustainability are definitively among the most striking challenges of the 21st century.
By consulting, planning, building, maintaining, exploiting and processing of global resources, civil engineers contribute significantly to the existence of these challenges. This is a high responsibility, but due to the heavy involvement, together with adjacent disciplines such as architecture, geosciences, chemistry,
physics, environmental sciences and economics, civil engineers also hold the key to mitigate these challenges and provide a brighter global future.
Solutions towards greener, more sustainable and economically viable materials do exist, and there is ongoing research on how greener technologies can contribute to better livelihood and economic growth, but their level of implementation is limited, a major reason for which is that these approaches require more fundamental understanding rather than standard application.
Die meisten Einflüsse auf die Rheologie von Beton wirken auf sehr kleinen Skalenebenen. Einflussgrößen im Millimeter oder Zentimeterbereich sind im Wesentlichen auf den Sand und die Gesteinskörnung beschränkt. Letztere machen aber in den meisten Betonen 50 %-70 % des Gesamtvolumens aus, was bei Untersuchungen zur Steuerung der Verarbeitungseigenschaften von Beton häufig vernachlässigt wird. Während Betonzusatzmittel und Zusatzstoffe bei geeigneter Wahl die Rheologie sehr gezielt beeinflussen können, eignen sich Sand und Gesteinskörnung weniger gut zur Steuerung der Rheologie, aber sie tragen zur Rheologie des Gesamtsystems bei. Hierbei können Effekte aus Sand und Gesteinskörnung die Effekte von Zusatzmitteln und Zusatzstoffen überlagern und im ungünstigsten Falle sogar nahezu unwirksam machen. Deshalb sollten Ergebnisse zur Verarbeitbarkeit von Bindemittelsystemen nur mit großer Sorgfalt auf Beton übertragen werden. Es ist wichtig, den Einfluss des Sandes und der Gesteinskörnung besser zu verstehen, um diese so abzustimmen, dass sie Effekte aus Fließmitteln positiv ergänzen anstatt diesen entgegenzuwirken.
Durch eine gezielte Abstimmung lassen sich Kosten wirksam sparen.
Most factors acting on concrete rheology work at an extremely small-scale level. Influencing factors in the millimetre or centimetre area are essentially restricted to sand and aggregates. The latter, however, make up 50 to 70% of the total volume of most concretes – a fact often ignored in research on controlling concrete processing properties.
Whereas suitably chosen concrete admixtures and additives can influence rheology in a very targeted manner, sand and aggregates are less suitable for controlling rheology but nonetheless contribute to the rheology of the Overall system. The actions of sand and aggregate can impose themselves upon the actions of admixtures and additives
and, in unfavourable circumstances, even render them redundant. For this reason, any results concerning the processability of binding agent systems can only be transferred to concrete with great care. It is important to better understand the action of sand and aggregates in order to be able to harmonise them in such a way that they complement the action of superplasticisers positively, instead of
working against them. Savings on costs can also be made by this targeted fine-tuning.
Während für die Bauwirtschaft in den meisten Ländern der nördlichen Halbkugel die Instandhaltung bestehender Strukturen und Infrastruktur im Vordergrund steht, geht es in vielen Ländern der Südhalbkugel in der Hauptsache um die Schaffung von Bauwerken und Infrastruktur zur Verwirklichung angemessener Lebensbedingungen, was wiederum das schnelle Wirtschaftswachstum weiter befeuert.
Beton ist als Massenbaustoff, trotz landläufig anderer Bewertung, aufgrund seines im Vergleich zu anderen Baustoffen günstigen CO2-Footprints und der globalen Verfügbarkeit hierbei aktuell ohne Alternative. Allerdings ist Beton nach Wasser das am zweithäufigsten genutzte Produkt auf Erden [1] und die globale Nachfrage und Produktion steigt dramatisch. Dies hat Konsequenzen für das globale Klima, denn gerade die als Bindemittel eingesetzten Portlandzemente verursachen bei ihrer Herstellung selbst unter modernsten Produktionsbedingungen große Mengen an CO2.
Deshalb müssen für zukünftige nachhaltigere Technologien neuartige Betone entwickelt werden, die bei gleicher oder verbesserter Leistungsfähigkeit, einen geringeren Bedarf an Portlandzement aufweisen.
Um den CO2-Ausstoß, der mit der Betonherstellung verbunden ist zu minimieren, müssen Anteile an Portlandzement im Bindemittel reduziert und durch nachhaltigere Ersatzstoffe ausgetauscht werden. Darüber hinaus muss das eingesetzte Bindemittel im Beton so effizient wie möglich ausgenutzt werden. Das heißt, ein Bauteil oder Bauwerk sollte gerade so viel Bindemittel enthalten, wie für die Tragfähigkeit und Dauerhaftigkeit erforderlich ist. Hierfür erscheint der Einsatz von leistungsfähigen bauchemischen Produkten unumgänglich. Diese können zum einen die veränderten Verarbeitungseigenschaften, die Zementersatzstoffe mit sich bringen, ausgleichen und gleichzeitig helfen, den Gesamtwassergehalt zu minimieren, so dass das Bindemittel seine maximale Leistungsfähigkeit erzielt. Fließmittel sind aktuell die wichtigsten Zusatzmittel für Beton. Sie reduzieren den Wasserbedarf und ermöglichen, Zement im Beton effizienter auszunutzen. Darüber hinaus sind Stabilisierer wichtig zur Erhöhung der Robustheit, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die bautechnischen Herausforderungen der Zukunft – vom Pumpen über weite Distanzen, dem Spritzen, dem Betonieren bei extremen Klimabedingungen bis hin zum 3D-Druck.
The paper presents rheometric results and hydration curves for cementitious systems based on cement mixed with different aqueous phases at solid volume fraction of = 0.45. The varied aqueous phases were deionized water, limewater, the filter residue of a cement paste mixed at w/c = 2.0, and the filtrate of cement paste at solid volume fraction of 0.45. Each cementitious system provided different amounts and sizes of particles formed in the aqueous phase. The pastes were observed with and without polycarboxylate ether based superplasticizer. It was observed that the presence of particles causes higher PCE saturation dosages to achieve a minimum value, but the minimum value is only affected in the case of large particles. In all cases with and without PCE, the presence of small particles causes increased plastic viscosity. In addition, with decreased number and size of hydrates in the aqueous phase the hydration was retarded, which was specifically pronounced in the presence of PCE
