Wärmebehandlung und Autoklavierung von UHPC - Neue Perspektiven für die Betonfertigteilindustrie
(2011)
Das Gefüge von UHPC ist durch eine dicht gepackte und fehlstellenarme Matrix gekennzeichnet. Eine zusätzliche Optimierung ist durch eine Wärmebehandlung bzw. hydrothermale Nachbehandlung (Autoklavierung) unter einem Wasserdampfsättigungsdruck möglich. Die Wärmebehandlung von Beton ist ein in der Betonfertigteilindustrie geläufiges Verfahren, um die Erstarrungszeit zu verkürzen und höhere Frühfestigkeiten zu erreichen.
Ausgehend von einer kritischen Analyse der Materialkennwerte für normalfesten (NFB) und hochfesten Beton (HFB) im Eurocode 2 wurden in grundlegenden Untersuchungen an der BAM exemplarisch für einen HFB die thermomechanischen Materialkennwerte bestimmt, um auf der Basis eines geeigneten Materialmodells das Verhalten von Stahlbetonstützen aus HFB unter Brandbeanspruchung zu simulieren. Die Validierung des Modells erfolgte mittels großmaßstäblicher Brandversuche an belasteten Stahlbetonstützen aus dem gleichen HFB wie in den Materialuntersuchungen. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Festigkeit als charakteristischer Parameter des Materialmodells zwingend auf der Basis instationärer Versuche und nicht aus stationären Versuchen wie bei NFB üblich bestimmt werden muss. Mit den in vorgeschlagenen Materialbeziehungen für HFB wird das Tragverhalten der untersuchten Stützen dagegen deutlich überschätzt, was sich in den numerischen Simulationen insbesondere durch zu geringe Verformungen äußert.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Development and Validation of an Advanced Calculation Model for High Strength Concrete Columns Subjected to Fire Loading
Following a critical analysis of the material parameters of normal strength (NSC) and high strength concrete (HSC) presented in Eurocode 2 the thermo-mechanical material parameters of one representative HSC were identified. Using these parameters and based on an appropriate material model the behavior of HSC columns was simulated. The validation of the model was realized through real scale fire resistance tests on loaded columns of the same type of HSC as in the material identification tests. It was found that the strength as a characteristic parameter of the material model has to be identified on the basis of transient creep tests and not of stationary tests, respectively as realized usually for NSC. It could be shown that the structural behavior of the tested columns is overestimated if the numerical simulations are based on the material properties of HSC as proposed in. This feature is expressed especially through insufficient displacements.
Monitoring 4.0/5.0
(2021)
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.
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.
Industrial wastes (bottom ash, crushed concrete fines, filter residue, paper ash and lignite fly ash) have potential for use in building materials, for instance as raw materials for clinker production, as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) or mineral additions in concrete. The properties of the products are dependent on the reactivity of the waste materials used, which can be classified as inert, latent hydraulic or pozzolanic. In this study, waste materials were first characterised. This was followed by theoretical considerations of the mentioned application options. Experiments were limited to evaluation of potential as SCMs and, for this purpose, activity index measurements and calorimetric and thermogravimetric analyses were performed. Finally, the synergetic effects of various waste materials were considered. Paper ash (calcium oxide source) and filter residue (amorphous silicon dioxide source) showed the best prospects for use as cementitious material components.
Der Erhalt und die Weiterentwicklung der Verkehrsinfrastrukturen werden auch zukünftig einen Investitions- und Forschungsschwerpunkt in Deutschland bilden. Gemäß den aktuellen Entwicklungsprognosen sowohl der Bundesregierung als auch der Deutschen Bahn wäre bei unveränderten Marktanteilen der Bahn eine Zunahme insbesondere des Güterverkehrs in den kommenden 10 Jahren um ca. 50% zu erwarten. Dieser Zuwachs erfordert erhebliche Entwicklungen sowohl in der technischen Konstruktion der Fahrwege als auch im Erschütterungs- und Lärmschutz infolge des Schienenverkehrs.
Concrete spalling due to fire exposure is often defined as the sudden detachment of fragments from a concrete surface. It can be quantified by various parameters of which weight loss and spalling depth are the most common ones. The risk of spalling is influenced by many factors such as concrete composition, heating rate and applied testing methods. A reduced scale testing method should be developed to analyse the spalling behaviour and to understand its effectiveness in more detail. As a subsection of this development, this study aimed to analyse the effect of different-sized, circular heated areas in semi full-scale fire tests. Therefore, vermiculite slabs with varying cut-outs in their centre were placed between a specimen made of a spalling-sensitive concrete and the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber was heated following a standard fire curve. Our experimental results show that the thermal expansion inside of equal-sized specimens is strongly dependent on the size of the heated area. In addition, this area also affects thermal stresses. They decrease as a result of lower temperature gradients for tests with smaller unheated boundary areas. Apart from this, the analysis of fragments shows no correlation between their relative volume distribution and the heated area.
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.
The maintenance of the transport infrastructures and their further development are going to remain focal points for investment and research in Germany in future. According to the latest development forecasts made by both the federal government and Deutsche Bahn, even if rail´s percentage share of the market were to remain unchanged, growth of around 50% would be expected in the next ten years, especially in freight traffic. This growth is necessitating considerable development both in the technical design of the tracks and in the abatement of the noise and vibration caused by railway traffic.
