Im Zusammenhang mit der Energiewende sind eine Reihe technischer Fragestellungen für die diesbezüglich erforderlichen Bauwerke wie Windenergieanlagen, Energiespeicher oder Freileitungsmasten zu lösen. Nachfolgend werden drei Forschungsprojekte auf Grundlage großmaßstäblicher Bauteilversuche vorgestellt, die derzeit an der BAM durchgeführt werden.
The aim of this project is to get deeper insight into the fatigue behaviour of concrete under cyclic compressive loading. It focuses on the evaluation and modelling of the entire damage process during life-cycle by means of various non-destructive measuring techniques. In numerous tests on cylinders h/d = 30/10 cm under different cyclic loading conditions, the crack development and the damage evolution are monitored using acoustic emission analysis and ultrasonic velocity measurement. The final aim will be the definition of a damage descriptor D based on experimental observations, which can be implemented into a numerical model on a meso-mechanical level.
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.
Vom Baustoff zum sicheren Bauwerk: Einsatz der Schallemissionsanalyse in der Bauabteilung der BAM
(2013)
Seit 2006 wird die Schallemissionsanalyse (SEA) in der Abteilung 7 Bauwerkssicherheit der BAM genutzt, um Gefügeveränderungen in Betonen zu untersuchen. Dabei haben sich bis heute im Wesentlichen folgende vier Forschungsbereiche herauskristallisiert:
Hydratation
Während der Hydratation von Beton ist eine ausgeprägte Schallemissionsaktivität zu beobachten, anhand derer der Hydratationsverlauf nachvollzogen werden kann. Zur Aufklärung der Quellmechanismen der Schallemissionen besteht noch weiterer Forschungsbedarf. Des Weiteren kann mit Hilfe der SEA die frühe Rissbildung in Betonen, hervorgerufen durch autogenes oder plastisches Schwinden, analysiert werden.
Alkali-Kieselsäure-Reaktion (AKR)
Bei der AKR handelt es sich um eine Reaktion alkaliempfindlicher Gesteinskörnungen mit den Alkalien des Betons bzw. mit extern, z.B. durch Tausalze, zugeführten Alkalien. Dabei werden um die oder in der Gesteinskörnung quellfähige Gele gebildet, die zu einer völligen Zerstörung des Gefüges führen können. Mit der SEA können die Rissbildung detektiert und somit die Schädigungsphasen im Verlauf der AKR identifiziert werden.
Brandverhalten
Unter Brandeinwirkung platzt die Oberfläche gefügedichter Hochleistungsbetone explosionsartig ab. Um dies zu verhindern und somit den Feuerwiderstand von Bau-teilen aus Hochleistungsbeton zu erhöhen, werden dem Beton Polypropylenfasern beigemischt. Das Schmelzen der Fasern bei einer Temperaturerhöhung trägt zu einer erhöhten Mikrorissbildung bei, die einen Spannungsabbau ermöglicht. Die SEA konnte erfolgreich eingesetzt werden, um diesen Wirkmechanismus der Fasern nachzuweisen und weiter aufzuklären.
Ermüdungsverhalten
Durch die hohen zyklischen Lasten, für die Türme und Fundamente von Windkraft-anlagen ausgelegt werden müssen, gewinnen gesicherte Kenntnisse über das Ermüdungsverhalten von Betonen an Bedeutung. Mit der SEA ist es bei hochzyklischen Belastungsversuchen an Betonen möglich, den Schädigungsgrad im Verlauf der Beanspruchung zu bestimmen. Die Schallemissionsaktivität eignet sich als Kriterium, um die Versuche bei vorab definierten Schädigungsgraden zu unterbrechen und so Proben für weitergehende Untersuchungen zu gewinnen. Diese Ergebnisse sollen perspektivisch für Überwachungssysteme für Betonbauwerke unter zyklischer Beanspruchung genutzt werden.
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
(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.
The current knowledge about fatigue behavior of concrete is still incomplete. This concerns especially the progress of fatigue which precedes the fatigue failure. Therefore, the process of fatigue itself under cyclic compressive loading was investigated in a systematic and comprehensive way. The aim of this investigation was to obtain a deeper insight and to provide a better understanding of the damage process occurring within the material during fatigue loading. Concrete cylinders were tested with a number of cycles to failure between 106 and 107. To investigate macroscopic and microscopic changes in the material, various methods of non-destructive and destructive testing were used. One main result was, in contrast to other authors, that the investigated changes in macroscopic material behavior could not be explained only by a development of micro-cracks. The results indicated rather, that the related changes in the fatigue behavior are mainly a result of viscous processes in the hardened cement paste, similar to the processes of creep. Based on the experimental results a description of the possible processes was derived which take place in the material structure during fatigue loading and also leads to the observed macroscopic changes in the material behavior. In this context, the results have shown that in case of isotropic material behavior a stiffness reduction related to a scalar value could not capture the damage effect on the stress-strain-relationship caused by fatigue.
Self-compacting concrete typically contains a higher content of powder materials than normal concrete. Furthermore it is assumed that the use of superplasticizers yields a more homogenous microstructure in the hardened paste. Both aspects generate a very dense microstructure, which can be assumed to cause material behaviour that differs from than normal concrete when it is exposed to elevated temperatures. However, the paste volumes in SCC can vary significantly based on the mixture composition. At a low paste volumes SCC can be very similar to normal concrete at hardened state while it can vary greatly at higher paste volumes. Since the high temperature behaviour of concrete is strongly affected by the different physical behaviour of the paste and the aggregates, it is likely that the high temperature behaviour is consequently strongly affected by the ratio of these mixture components. In the present study different SCC mixtures were observed with similar mechanical properties, but with significantly differing paste to aggregate ratios. Based on observations of the heat evolution at the fire exposed surface and at different depths inside the specimens as well as based on photogrammetric observations of the spalled dimensions, the results indicate that with increasing paste volumes the heat conductivity is reduced and as a result concrete with higher paste to aggregate ratios shows less spalling.
There is a wide range of research worldwide on supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) such as fly ash and slag for substituting pure cement. Such materials are suitable to be considered in a cementitious system with ordinary Portland cement (OPC) due to their high pozzolanic properties. In addition, majority of the SCMs are said to significantly improve concrete properties especially in terms of increased strength and durability. Unfortunately, the production of such SCMs is not entirely eco-friendly and also limited to certain parts of the world, hence one has to look at alternative options.
The issue of availability of resources is a strong concept that is ever-increasing, and the use of more eco-friendly SCMs in a cementitious system is furthermore attractive. Hence this paper addresses the use of eco-friendly SCMs in concrete such as rice husk ash (RHA). Despite the fact that extensive research has been done on this material, its application in a cementitious system to obtain sufficient concrete properties is still rather limited. In a country like Tanzania, high strength concrete construction is applicable in special construction cases but certainly not a high priority. Majority of construction is still undertaken using normal strength concrete. In a ternary cementitious system consisting of OPC, RHA and other readily available resources such as limestone filler (LSF), normal strength concrete can still be produced having good performance and suitable for regular on-site construction. This paper explains a possible application of obtaining sufficient concrete properties from the available resources.
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.
Safety measures like tunnel emergency Ventilation Systems cause high financial costs. Hence, safety measures have to be chosen with the focus on the expected reduction of the consequences like fatalities or damage on structures and in conjunction with the investments. Since 2004, the European directive EU 2004/54/EC proposes therefore the application of risk assessments. Because the EU directive provides only few legal requirements on risk assessments, the methodologies developed on this basis have large differences. After one decade of intensive research, the comparative study now highlights common aspects and differences of several methodologies.
The cement and concrete market in East, Central and Southern Africa is highly fragmented. The concrete industry in this area consists of multiple parties, including producers and suppliers of construction materials, formal and informal contractors, engineers and architects, unions of trades persons and workmen, governmental bodies and formal institutions of research and education. All these institutions mostly do not interact adequately, which makes building with cementitious materials susceptible to damage and failures. Completely opposed to the situation in Europe or North America, cement in Africa is often unaffordable, while manpower is cheap, which results in a questionable economisation of cement. Typically, there is not sufficient awareness of methods to sensibly reducing the cement content in concrete or replace Ordinary Portland Cement by adequate alternative materials. Research activities in this field of technology are often missing completely. Only few countries in the area, such as South Africa, are exempted from these issues.
This paper presents the SPIN project, which is a joint project of a consortium of 8 African and 3 European partners within the ACP Science and Technology Programme. The project is funded by the EC and ACP Secretariat is the project body. The main objective of the current project is to strengthen the cement and concrete industry in the East and Central African regions. The project shall generate reasonable solution strategies to implement clean, safe and sustainable cement and concrete technology on the African continent, including general and specific guidelines for sensible application. Furthermore it shall be the kick-off for future projects, research activities and the world-wide expansion of a European-African network.
The paper addresses special problems the cement and concrete market in Eastern, Central and Southern African countries has to face. Several options are presented in detail, which shall help overcoming the current situation. Customized solutions for the African market include rational methods for reducing the amount of cement used and the replacement of Ordinary Portland Cement with cheaper alternatives. The use of recycled concrete through a new and economically effective method, as well as the opportunity of using locally available resources is also discussed.
