In civil engineering, the investigation of existing infrastructure is of major importance for maintaining and ensuring stability of the structures. To ensure durability, uniform regulations and standards apply e.g. the European standard EN 206-1. In some countries, the EN-standard is supplemented by additional standards, as in Germany with DIN 1045-2. Here, specific application rules are described, e.g. for the cement type, to ensure the resistant to different exposures. Therefore, the knowledge of the materials originally used is important in assessing the condition of existing concrete structure. Unfortunately, these are often unknown and must be determined retrospectively. Therefore, we present the application of the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy to distinguish between different types of cement. Spectral information’s are used to build a classification model. First, the accuracy of the classification is analyzed on ten pure laboratory cement samples. To investigate possible sources of error, the model was then applied to cement samples with different moisture content. The study shows that LIBS is a promising tool for distinguishing between cement types. For further industrial application, however, factors influencing the LIBS signal must be included to ensure a robust model.
An important aspect with regard to the service life of zinc based galvanic anodes and the durability of the corrosion protection of steel in concrete is the “galvanic chloride extraction”. Chloride ions move in the electric field generated by the current, flowing between the galvanic anode and the cathodic steel. Migration leads to an accumulation of anions, e.g. chloride ions, at the anode and depletion of chlorides near the steel rebar surface. The ion migration was studied on steel reinforced concrete specimens admixed with 3 wt.% chloride/wt. cement and galvanically protected by a surface applied embedded zinc anode (EZA). The zinc anode was embedded and glued to the concrete surface by a geo-polymer based chloride free binder. The EZA was operated over a period of 1 year and the ion distribution between anode (EZA) and cathode (steel reinforcement) was studied by laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) after 5 months, 7 months and 12 months. The results show that chloride ions efficiently migrate in the direction of the zinc-anode and accumulate there. Chloride distribution in the EZA correlates with the distribution of zinc ions generated by the anodic dissolution of the zinc anode in the binder matrix. The microstructure of the binder matrix and its interface to the zinc-anode are studied by REM/EDX – preliminary results will be reported.
Es wird ein alternatives Verfahren zur schnellen zweidimensionalen Analyse der chemischen Zusammensetzung von Baustoffen vorgestellt. Dieses beruht auf der Kombination des Abtrags einer geringen Materialmenge durch einen gepulsten Laser, der Plasmaerzeugung und der Analyse der Lichtemission des Plasmas mittels optischer Spektroskopie. Es können prinzipiell alle Elemente gleichzeitig nachgewiesen werden. Damit ist es möglich einerseits Informationen über den Baustoff an sich als auch über den Eintrag potentiell schädigender Elemente (z. B. Cl, C, Na, K, S) zu gewinnen. Das Verfahren kann automatisiert im Labor oder als mobile Version direkt vor Ort eingesetzt werden. Es liefert zweidimensionale Bilder der Elementverteilung in Echtzeit. Es kann ohne große Probenvorbereitung z. B. direkt an der Querschnittsfläche eines Bohrkernes gemessen werden. Die Messung dauert nur wenige Minuten. Das Prinzip der Messung, die Vor- und die Nachteile, sowie die verfügbare Gerätetechnik für den Einsatz im Labor oder direkt am Bauwerk werden vorgestellt. Abschließend werden praktische Beispiele für die Anwendung des LIBS-Verfahrens zur Erfassung des Chlorid-Eintrages, der Karbonatisierung und der Verteilung von Schwefel präsentiert.
