Die zunehmende Anwendung hochfesten Betons in ermüdungsbelasteten Bauwerken, herausfordernde Belastungsszenarien im Bereich von On- und Offshore Windenergieanlagen bezüglich sehr hoher Lastwechselzahlen sowie das gleichzeitige Streben nach energie- und ressourcenschonendem Bauen stellen die Bemessung von Beton gegen Ermüdung vor neue Aufgaben. Eine Vielzahl von Studien beschreibt bereits die Auswirkung von Einflussfaktoren wie Mischungszusammensetzung, Feuchte, Probekörpergröße oder Belastungsart auf die Ermüdungsfestigkeit und den Ermüdungsprozess. Aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Geometrien und Mischungen der in den verschiedenen Studien verwendeten Proben sind die Auswirkungen der Einflussfaktoren jedoch kaum miteinander vergleichbar. In dem vom Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz (BMWK) geförderten Verbundprojekt WinConFat wurden deshalb verschiedene Einflussfaktoren gezielt an Proben mit einheitlichen Mischungen untersucht. Das durch die Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) bearbeitete Teilprojekt fokussierte sich auf den „Einfluss der Probengeometrie und -größe auf die Ermüdung von Beton“. Neben der Erhebung von Daten zur Ermüdungsfestigkeit wurde der Ermüdungsprozess mit zerstörungsfreien Prüf- und Messmethoden untersucht. Diese Prüfmethoden wurden auch hinsichtlich ihrer Anwendbarkeit zur Erfassung der ermüdungsbedingten Schädigungsentwicklung an Betonbauwerken im Rahmen von Monitoringkonzepten bewertet. Untersucht wurden die Ermüdungsfestigkeiten und der Ermüdungsprozess an Zylindern mit drei unterschiedlichen Betonmischungen sowie unterschiedlicher Größe und Schlankheit. Die Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchungen werden im Folgenden vorgestellt und diskutiert.
The structural integrity of outer reinforced concrete (RC) containments of nuclear power plants provides an essential shield against external hazards. If this containment is damaged by an impact event, such as an aircraft crash, the question arises to which degree the reinforced concrete containment still has its protective capability. This concerns both purely structural protection and protection against liquids penetrating the interior of the containment. Due to the dimensions of the containment structures, it is difficult to perform real scale impact experiments, so in the past decades plate geometries at medium scale have been used for investigations. Detailed investigations on the structural behaviour of RC members or RC plates subjected to impact loading have already been presented in Just et al., Hering, Hering et al., Bracklow et al., Hille et al. and Nerger et al.
The following investigations deal with the single and multiple impact event (first hard impact and/or subsequent soft impact) on a RC specimen, which provides the basis for further investigations. A description of the test setup and the test procedure as well as a presentation of the test results from the impact tests are provided.
Furthermore, the experimental program is presented, which the damaged RC specimens are to undergo to deal with the question of how much the impact-damaged RC structure has become permeable to liquid media, such as water and kerosene, depending on the intensity of the impact. The aim of these following investigations is to develop a test setup that can be applied to investigate the liquid penetration behaviour (LPB) of small, medium, and large-scale RC members.
In addition to the liquid penetration experiments, the damaged specimens are to be examined by planar tomography to obtain the damage inside the specimen. The combination of damaging event, fluid penetration behaviour and tomography should enable a comprehensive understanding of the damage to the RC specimen.
Der Erhalt einer dauerhaft sicheren Infrastruktur erfordert neben der Berücksichtigung technisch bedingter Alterungs- und Schädigungsprozesse auch die Umsetzung aktueller gesellschaftlicher Herausforderungen wie die Integration neuer Mobilitätskonzepte, Steigerung der Resilienz gegenüber Klimawandel oder Ressourcenschonung. Die parallele Umsetzung dieser „alten“ und „neuen“ Anforderungen lässt sich nur durch räumlich und zeitlich skalenübergreifende Betrachtungen lösen, die ohne digitale Prozesse nicht möglich sein werden. Am Beispiel des Elements der Querscheinfuge in Betonstraßenoberflächen wird in diesem Vortrag aufgezeigt, wie die BAM durch Kombination diverser Projekte zu einzelnen Aspekten dieser Fragestellung in einem ganzheitlichen Konzept eines digitalen Zwillings dieses Bauelements löst.
Die heute in der Anwendung befindlichen Bemessungskonzepte für Ermüdung von Beton stammen zum Teil noch aus den 1990er Jahren und sind speziell hinsichtlich hochfester Betone konservativ ausgelegt. Um die Vorteile von Türmen für Windkraftanlagen, vor allem auch aus hochfesten Betonen, im Zuge des geplanten Ausbaus der Windenergieversorgung in Deutschland wirtschaftlich nutzbar zu machen, müssen diese Bemessungskonzepte weiterentwickelt werden. Dafür sind umfangreiche Untersuchungen zur Ermittlung von Bruchlastwechselzahlen und zur Charakterisierung der Schädigungsentwicklung unter Ermüdungsbeanspruchung erforderlich. Allgemein anerkannte bzw. verbindliche Regelwerke oder Verfahren zur experimentellen Bestimmung der Ermüdungsfestigkeit (Bruchlastwechselzahlen) an Betonproben gibt es zurzeit aber nicht und die bisher durchgeführten Untersuchungen variieren in Parametern wie Probengeometrie, Probengröße und Prüffrequenz. Eine vergleichende Analyse der Ergebnisse der Studien und insbesondere die Übertragbarkeit auf bauteilrelevante Abmessungen ist auf dieser Grundlage nur sehr eingeschränkt möglich.
The size effect has its origin in fracture mechanics and describes the formation as well as propagation of cracks in brittle and solid materials in dependence of the specimen size. However, the size effect in concrete spalling describes the damage behaviour on a macroscopic scale for different sized specimens in case of fire. Concrete spalling is a very complex and yet not fully understood phenomenon. To reduce the effort of fire tests to analyse the spalling behaviour of concrete mixtures, this study investigates the susceptibility to spalling for six different concrete mixtures and three specimen sizes. The sizes were divided in full scale slabs (1.8 m x 1.2 m x 0.3 m), intermediate scale cuboids (0.6 m x 0.6 m x 0.3 m) and small scale cylinders (Ø0.15 m x 0.3 m). For this purpose, a novel test set-up was built to test six intermediate scale or twelve small scale specimens simultaneously to ensure a similar heating regime for every specimen. All specimens were fire exposed on one side and remained unrestrained. A size effect occurred for four of the six concrete mixtures. Compared to the full scale specimens the spalling was reduced significantly for all smaller specimen sizes. Additionally, spalling did not occur for the small scale specimens. The results show that the specimen size is an essential parameter to investigate the susceptibility to spalling of a concrete mixture. For future investigations the testing conditions must be adjusted for the intermediate scale specimens to recreate the conditions of the slabs.
Wasserstoffinduzierte Spannungsrisskorrosion führt zu Standsicherheitsproblemen an Spannbetonbrückenbauwerken mit hochempfindlichen Spannstählen im Spannblockverfahren. An der Altstädter Brücke (Brandenburg a. d. H.) bot sich die Gelegenheit, kurz vor deren Rückbau umfangreiche Untersuchungen zur Detektion und Verifizierung dieses Schadensbildes durchzuführen und verschiedene Monitoringverfahren hinsichtlich ihrer Eignung für diese spezielle Fragestellung zu untersuchen.
Beton, als aktuell am meisten verwendeter Baustoff ist nicht brennbar und weist zudem eine sehr geringe Temperaturleitfähigkeit auf. Er eignet sich somit gut für den baulichen Brandschutz. Jedoch neigt Beton im Brandfall zu explosionsartigen Abplatzungen, die zu einer Reduzierung des tragfähigen Querschnitts und sogar zum Versagen des Bauteils führen können. Derzeit werden thermomechanische und thermohydraulische Schädigungsprozesse als die zwei maßgeblichen Ursachen für explosionsartige Abplatzungen angesehen. Diese Schädigungsprozesse sind unter anderem abhängig von der Prüfkörpergröße, dem Wasser-Zement-Wert, der Porosität, der Permeabilität und dem Bewehrungsgrad des Bauteils.
Im Rahmen des Vortrags werden die Forschungsarbeiten zum Maßstabseffekt des Abplatzverhaltens von Betonen bei Brandbeanspruchung präsentiert. Zu diesem Zweck wurden Betonprüfkörper aus sechs verschiedenen Betonmischungen in jeweils drei Prüfkörpergrößen einseitig, ohne Behinderung der thermischen Ausdehnung und ohne externe Last im Tunnelbrandprüfstand der BAM untersucht. Dieser unikale Prüfstand ermöglicht die Brandprüfung unterschiedlicher Prüfkörpergrößen unter vergleichbaren Brandbedingungen sowie die simultane Prüfung mehrerer kleinformatiger Betonprüfkörper. Das präsentierte, laufende Promotionsvorhaben basiert auf einem von der DFG geförderten Forschungsvorhaben und darauf aufbauenden Folgeuntersuchungen.
Die Ergebnisse des DFG-Vorhabens zeigen einen deutlichen Maßstabseffekt mit einer starken Verringerung der Abplatztiefen bei einer Reduzierung der Prüfkörpergröße. Des Weiteren ist das Abplatzverhalten stark von der Betonmischung abhängig. Vor dem Hintergrund der Ressourcenschonung und Kostenreduzierung verfolgen die auf dem DFG-Vorhaben aufbauenden Untersuchungen das Ziel, das Abplatzverhalten großformatiger Betonprüfkörper durch kleinformatige Betonprüfkörper mit angepassten Randbedingungen nachzustellen. Hierfür wurden zwei Betonmischungen des DFG-Vorhabens verwendet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass durch eine Anpassung der Versuchsrandbedingungen dem Maßstabseffekt entgegengewirkt werden kann.
Monitoring 4.0/5.0

Mehr als 10 % des deutschen Bruttoinlandsprodukts werden für Investitionen imBausektor eingesetzt. Die unmittelbar folgende Erkenntnis, dass eine zukunftsorientierte, nachhaltige Umgestaltung unserer Gesellschaft nicht ohne einen substanziellen Beitrag des Bausektors gelingen kann, hat sich mittlerweile weitgehend durchgesetzt. Die Komplexität der zugehörigen technischen Herausforderungen ist jedoch nicht zu unterschätzen.
Productivity and sustainability are key factors for the technical development of the construction sector during the next decades. Only a corresponding, goal-oriented and efficient combination of specifically developed construction materials and techniques based on innovative digital technologies and ideas will contribute to the huge societal challenges of the future. On a material level, sustainability in concrete production stands for the use of alternative binders, aggregates and reinforcing fibres in combination with bio-based additives to produce robust mixtures with a minimized CO2-footprint. On a constructional level, the focus will be on reducing manpower on site by automated techniques like additive manufacturing and by an increased use of prefabricated elements up to modular room cells, accompanied by innovative methods for the re-use of constructional elements, reduction of supplementary constructions and digitally optimized site logistics. This presentation will discuss recent developments in these fields, as well as upcoming ideas.
Planar tomography and numerical analysis for damage characterization of impact loaded RC plates
(2020)
The damage analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) is of high interest for reasons of effective maintenance and structural safe-ty of buildings. The damage structures of RC plates loaded by an impact were investigated, applying X-ray planar tomogra-phy and finite element method (FEM). Planar tomography allows getting three-dimensional information of the RC elements and the damage including crack, spalling and scabbing. The FEM model validated on the tomography data justifies the appli-cation for further predictions of the damage description. In this study, we investigated concrete plates of three different thick-ness subjected to impacts at different low- and medium-velocity, whereby the used impactor had a flat tip, which resulted in small penetrations on the front side and scabbing on the rear side. In order to quantify the damage, the damage volume and its distribution through the plate were computed and the correlations between degree of damage and impact velocity were found out.
Based on methane from renewable resources, LNG is an alternative fuel for heavy and long-distance traffic in land transport. Contrary to its positive properties, the fuel contains risks from an explosion and extremely low temperatures for personal and infrastructure safety. CFD-models are suitable for doing risk analyses for arbitrary scenarios. For examining how to model for risk research the dispersion of LNG-vapor, this paper contains a model variant study, with an evaluation by experiments.
This paper describes the use of the CFD-code ANSYS Fluent for simulating experiments of the ‘LNG Safety Program Phase II‘. The content of the well-documented experiments was the research of the vaporization rate of LNG on land and the dispersion of LNG-vapor in the air. Based on the comparison to two experiments, overall 12 CFD-model variants with varying thermal and turbulence parameters were examined how they affect the transient LNG-vapor dispersion in air.
The definition of turbulence-boundary-condition at the domain borders had the biggest impact on modeling, followed by the turbulence model. The most accurate model variant had been applied for observing the spreading behavior of LNG-vapor in the air after evaporation on land and analyzing the influence of the LNG-composition to the dispersion. The results show that the mixture of LNG-vapor and the air in the free field is cooler than the ambient air and spreads like a heavy gas on the ground.
Prediction of dynamic effects of reinforced concrete structures under impact loading is a technical challenge. This is a consequence of the great variability of the physical properties resulting from the wide adaptability of reinforced concrete and a consequence of the wide range of impact loading. Experiments and numerical investigations are normally used on a small scale to address the problem. In this paper, impact tests on reinforced conrete plates with the lateral dimensions of 1.5 m x 1.5 m and a thickness of 30 cm are presented. In bending reinforcement, besides the velocity two properties are varied, the diameter and the spatial distribution of the rebars. Experiments are performed at the Otto-Mohr-Laboratory of the Institute of Concrete Structures of the Technische Universit¨at Dresden. Due to the accelerated fall of the impactor the velocity ranges between 20 and 70 m/s. In addition to the measured quantities such as bearing forces, accelerations are also measured at 4 different positions on and under the plate, as well as the deflection at several positions. The measured data are used for the analysis of the damage form and the numerical examinations with the program Ansys Autodyn and the material model after Drucker-Prager.
Numerical investigations support the tests, with detailed analysis of individual effects. These numerical computations and the planar tomographic investigations were carried out at BAM in Berlin. With the help of planar tomographic evaluation, the damaged structure is
made visible and compared with the numerical results. Influences of the bending reinforcement are explained on the basis of damage evaluation in the local area and on selected measured values. In addition to the test evaluation, the tomographic and numerical methods are presented.
Spalling of concrete due to fire exposure can lead to severe damage of building components. It is a much discussed subject in structural engineering and not yet completely understood. Generally, it is assumed that thermohydraulic and thermomechanical processes induce tensile stresses in the concrete. Furthermore, the tensile strength of concrete is reduced due to increasing temperatures. The combination of an increasing tensile stress and a decreasing tensile strength result in the occurrence of explosive spalling. The spalling behaviour of concrete is influenced by many parameters, for instance the water cement ratio, porosity, permeability of concrete as well, the presence of steel reinforcement and polypropylene fibres, also the size and geometry of the fire exposed area. Within the current research project at Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und prüfung (BAM), the susceptibility to spalling of six different concrete mixtures is analysed to quantify the size effect using small scale, intermediate scale and full scale tests. A special fire test setup was built to test specimens simultaneously to enable a better comparability. All specimens are tested without additional mechanical load and unrestraint to prevent external induced cracking at the fire exposed site. Thermocouples are used to measure in situ the temperature distribution as an indication on the thermal degradation of the concrete during the fire tests. Afterwards the maximum spalling depth and the damaged area of the specimen are illustrated by a photogrammetric measurement system. The contribution to the spalling workshop presents the results of four concrete mixtures tested in intermediate-scale and full-scale fire tests. The comparisons are based on the concrete temperature as well as the obtained photogrammetric data. The results show that the spalling depth and the spalling area are significantly affected by the size of the fire exposed area.
Severe mechanical fatigue conditions for worldwide proliferating windfarms are a Major challenge for high-performance concrete in towers, connecting joints and foundations of wind turbines. High-performance concrete offers potential for the application in offshore windfarms, not only regarding its good mechanical, but also chemical resistivity due to low diffusivity in the highly densified microstructure. For a more reliable fatigue assessment, monitoring based on nondestructive testing can be a valuable complement to design rules. Both approaches demand reliable experimental data, information about scalability and the development of standardized testing methods. This article presents results of an ongoing research program of BAM (Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung), which is a part of a joint national project (WinConFat) funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. The subproject implemented by BAM examines the fatigue behavior in dependence of size and slenderness for varying concrete strength at different stress levels. Besides fatigue strength, nondestructive testing is carried out additionally.
Methods used are strain measurement and ultrasonic testing. The change of strain, stiffness and ultrasonic pulse velocity in the fatigue process is discussed. Results disclose a deeper insight into the damage process under cyclic loading of high-performance concrete and contribute to improve nondestructive monitoring.
Identifying optimal inspection and repair strategies for offshore jacket structures is a challenging task. We pre-sent an approach, which is based on recent developments in the field of risk-based operation and maintenance planning at the structural system level. The approach utilizes heuristics to define inspection and repair strate-gies at the system level and to reduce the search space of possible strategies. For each defined strategy, the expected service life cost of inspection, repair and failure is evaluated based on simulated inspection and re-pair histories. Subset simulation is applied to compute the conditional repair and failure probabilities required for this analysis. It also forms the basis for simulating inspection and repair histories. The strategy that mini-mizes the expected service life cost is the optimal one in the set of pre-selected strategies. The underlying condition and performance model accounts for the stochastic dependence among the deterioration states of the different structural elements and the structural redundancy. The approach is demonstrated in a case study considering a jacket-type frame. In this study, we essentially vary the inspection interval, the minimum num-ber of inspected components and the target reliability, and identify the combination that minimizes the ex-pected total service life cost.
Fires in road tunnels constitute complex scenarios with interactions between the fire, tunnel users and safety measures. More and more methodologies for risk analysis quantify the consequences of these scenarios with complex models. Examples for complex models are the computational fluid dynamics model Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) and the microscopic evacuation model FDS+Evac. However, the high computational effort of complex models often limits the number of scenarios in practice. To balance this drawback, the scenarios are often simplified. Accordingly, there is a challenge to consider complex scenarios in risk analysis.
To face this challenge, we improved the metamodel used in the methodology for risk analysis presented on ISTSS 2016. In general, a metamodel quickly interpolates the consequences of few scenarios simulated with the complex models to a large number of arbitrary scenarios used in risk analysis. Now, our metamodel consists of the projection array-based design, the moving least squares method, and the prediction interval to quantify the metamodel uncertainty. Additionally, we adapted the projection array-based design in two ways: the focus of the sequential refinement on regions with high metamodel uncertainties; and the combination of two experimental designs for FDS and FDS+Evac.
To scrutinise the metamodel, we analysed the effects of three sequential refinement steps on the metamodel itself and on the results of risk analysis. We observed convergence in both after the second step (ten scenarios in FDS, 192 scenarios in FDS+Evac). In comparison to ISTSS 2016, we then ran 20 scenarios in FDS and 800 scenarios in FDS+Evac. Thus, we reduced the number of scenarios remarkably with the improved metamodel. In conclusion, we can now efficiently integrate complex scenarios in risk analysis. We further emphasise that the metamodel is broadly applicable on various experimental or modelling issues in fire safety engineering.
The worldwide spread of windfarms brings new challenges, especially for concrete structures as a part of towers, connecting joints and foundations of wind turbines. High-cyclic loadings in such structures lead to a high relevance of the subject of fatigue. A proper assessment of the fatigue strength of concrete demands therefore a basis of reliable experimental data and the development of standardized testing methods. This article presents first results of an ongoing research program of BAM (Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung) which is a part of a joint project (WinConFat) funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. The subproject investigates the effects of size and slenderness of the specimens on the fatigue behaviour of high strength concrete at different stress levels. Not only the fatigue strength, but also the fatigue process itself is monitored by means of several measurement methods. Strain measurements are used to calculate the load dependent elastic modulus in the fatigue hysteresis as indicators for fatigue development. Furthermore, the application of non-destructive methods like acoustic emission analysis and ultrasonic measurement in laboratory tests gives a deeper insight into damage processes under cyclic loading. The results shall be used to improve design rules for concrete members under fatigue load and to develop or improve non-destructive techniques for in-service structural health monitoring.
Polysaccharides are important rheology modifying admixtures in the building material sector.
The use of starch is becoming increasingly important, due to many ecological and economic advantages. In the construction sector, starch ethers are being used as thickeners and as means to increase the yield stress. The starch ethers that are available on the market differ in
their behaviour, which can vary greatly depending upon the binder system and mortar composition, e.g. solid volume content, binder type, additional admixtures. In view of the limited knowledge about the influence of molecular modifications associated with cement based systems, some fundamental rheological functional mechanisms were analysed in this study. The differently modified starch ethers used were derived from potatoes. They varied in their charges and degrees of hydroxypropylation. The setting and the flow behaviour of all examined variations
of starch ethers were analysed in cement pastes. In order to illustrate the effects of the starch ethers that were used, the water-cement ratio (w/c) was held constant in all the mixtures [Schmidt 2012]. The results indicated significant differences in setting and flow behaviour.
Rice husk as (RHA) is an eco-friendly material, which can be used as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in cement and concrete. Due to the high water demand for the material, superplasticizers (SPs) are essential to improve the performance. However, the interaction between the SPs and RHA systems is limited. This paper investigates the interaction of the binders with three SPs, i.e. two polycarboxylate ethers (PCEs) and one lignosulphonate (LS). The investigations are performed on blended systems of mortar containing various percentages of RHA and limestone powder (LSP). LSP is used in this research to improve the workability of the mortar. The results from the zeta potential (ZP) shows that the SPs are extremely dependent on the pH of the suspension. At higher pH values such as in a cementitious system, the ZP becomes less negative indicating that the ions in the suspension interact with the carboxyl groups in the backbone of the polymers thus reducing the surface charges of the SP. The mini-slump flow shows that the workability of the blended mortar systems is significantly improved with the addition of SPs. LS systems with increasing RHA is observed to have similar workability as the control mix over time. The compressive strength test results show increased strength for all mortar specimens with added RHA and LSP at later ages.
Within a current research project which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) the influence of the size and the geometry of specimens on the spalling result in fire tests is going to be investigated at Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM). This paper describes some preliminary results and a newly developed test setup. The novel setup enables the efficient and precise quantification of spalling by using a special photogrammetric measurement system.
