A thorough characterization of base materials is the prereq- uisite for further research. In this paper, the characterization data of the reference materials (CEM I 42.5 R, limestone pow- der, calcined clay and a mixture of these three components) used in the second funding phase of the priority program 2005 of the German Research Foundation (DFG SPP 2005) are presented under the aspects of chemical and min- eralogical composition as well as physical and chemical properties. The data were collected based on tests performed by up to eleven research groups involved in this cooperative program.
This paper presents the results of an interlaboratory study of the rheological properties of cement paste and ultrasound gel as reference substance. The goal was to quantify the comparability and reproducibility of measurements of the Bingham parameters yield stress and plastic viscosity when measured on one specific paste composition and one particular ultrasound gel in different laboratories using different rheometers and measurement geometries.
The procedures for both in preparing the cement paste and carrying out the rheological measurements on cement paste and ultrasound gel were carefully defined for all of the study’s participants. Different conversion schemes for comparing the results obtained with the different measurement setups are presented here and critically discussed. The procedure proposed in this paper ensured a reasonable comparability of the results with a coefficient of variation for the yield stress of 27% and for the plastic viscosity of 24%, despite the individual measurement series’ having been performed in different labs with different rheometers and measurement geometries.
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.
Two types of cements were selected as the reference cement in the priority program 2005 of the German Research Foundation (DFG SPP 2005). A thorough characterization of CEM I 42.5 R has been made in a recent publication. In this paper, the characterization data of the other reference cement CEM III/A 42.5 N are presented from the aspects of chemical and mineralogical compositions as well as physical and chemical properties. The characterization data of the slag, which is the second main constituent of this specific cement besides the clinker, are presented independently. For all data received, the mean values and the corresponding errors were calculated. The data shall be used for the ongoing research within the priority program. Also, researchers from outside this priority program can benefit from these data if the same materials are used.
Development of a test system for identifying the bitumen type and the modifier used in a reclaimed asphalt Da Polymer-, Gummi-, wachs- und mehrfachmodifizierte Bitumen seit Jahren im Asphaltstraßenbau eigesetzt werden, kommen diese vermehrt im Ausbauasphalt vor. Zur Bewertung des Ausbauasphalts ist es daher notwendig, die Modifizierungen an der Mischanlage zu identifizieren. Die Ausbildung des Bindemittelsacks beim Erweichungspunkt Ring und Kugel ist charakteristisch für die Modifizierung. Hierdurch können wachsmodifizierte Bitumen (WmB) recht präzise und Polymermodifizierten Bitumen (PmB) teilweise identifiziert werden. Mittels Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) werden die Schmelztemperaturen der Wachse erfasst. Hierdurch können WmB identifiziert und die Wachsarten unterschieden werden. Die Analytik mittels Dynamischem Scherrheometer (DSR) startet mit der Bestimmung der Äquisteifigkeitstemperatur EG*T. Bei EG*T werden Frequenz-, Amplituden- und MSCR-Tests durchgeführt. Die Grenze des LVE-Bereichs dient der Identifizierung von WmB. Anhand der Kennwerte bei 0,1 Hz können PmB erkannt werden. Die Rückformung (MSCRT) dient der Identifizierung von Mehrfachmodifizierungen. Da Gummimodifizierte Bitumen (GmB) bei der Extraktion erkannt werden, können alle Modifizierungsarten identifiziert werden. In den FTIR-Spektren (Fourier-Transformations-Infrarotspektroskopie) der modifizierten Bitumen verursachen einige Polymere und Wachse charakteristische Banden, wodurch diese erkannt werden. Die Identifizierung der übrigen Additive erfolgt mithilfe einer multivariaten Auswertung, wodurch mit Ausnahme der GmB (nicht erforderlich) alle Additive erkannt werden. An Stichproben konnte zudem eine Abgrenzung von Mehrfachmodifizierungen sowie eine Abschätzung der Zugabemenge erreicht werden. DSR und FTIR ermöglichen beide eine schnelle, einfache und zielsichere Identifizierung der Bitumenmodifizierungen. Durch die FTIR-Analytik können die Modifizierungen mit der größtmöglichen Präzision bestimmt werden. Die DSR-Analytik erlaubt dafür zusätzlich eine baupraktische Bewertung der Bindemittel.
As polymer, rubber, wax and multi-modified bitumen are used for asphalt road construction since many years, they increasingly occur in reclaimed asphalt. To assess the reclaimed asphalt, it is therefore necessary to identify the modifications in the mixing plants. The formation of the binder bag at softening point ring and ball is characteristic for modification. In this way, wax modified bitumen (WmB) can be identified rather precisely and to a less extent polymer modified bitumen (PmB) can also be identified. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is used to record the melting temperatures of the waxes. In this way, WmB can be identified and a differentiation can be made between the wax types. The analysis by means of the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) starts with the determination of the equi-stiffness temperature EG*T. Frequency-, amplitude- and MSCR-tests are performed at EG*T. The limit of the LVE range is used to identify WmB. PmB can be identified based on the characteristic values at 0.1 Hz. Creep recovery (MSCRT) is used to identify multi-modifications. As rubber modified bitumen (GmB) is identified on extraction, all types of modification can therefore be identified. Several polymers and waxes cause characteristic bands in the FTIR spectra (Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy) of modified bitumen, which enables the identification of these additives. The other additives except the GmB (not necessary) can be identified by means of multivariate model. Further, due to random evaluations, the differentiation between single- and multi-modification as well as the estimation of the content of some additives is possible. DSR and FTIR both enable fast, simple and accurate identification of the bitumen modification. The modification can be determined with the greatest possible precision by using FTIR analysis. On the other hand, DSR analysis allows additional practical assessment of the binder on site.
The 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratio can, in principle, be used for provenancing of cement. However, while commercial cements consist of multiple components, no detailed investigation into their individual 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios or their influence on the integral 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratio of the resulting cement was conducted previously. Therefore, the present study aimed at determining and comparing the conventional 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios of a diverse set of Portland cements and their corresponding Portland clinkers, the major component of these cements. Two approaches to remove the additives from the cements, i.e. to measure the conventional 87Sr/86Sr isotopic fingerprint of the clinker only, were tested, namely, treatment with a potassium hydroxide/sucrose solution and sieving on a 11-µm sieve. Dissolution in concentrated hydrochloric acid/nitric acid and in diluted nitric acid was employed to determine the 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios of the cements and the individual clinkers. The aim was to find the most appropriate sample preparation procedure for cement provenancing, and the selection was realised by comparing the 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios of differently treated cements with those of the corresponding clinkers. None of the methods to separate the clinkers from the cements proved to be satisfactory. However, it was found that the 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios of clinker and cement generally corresponded, meaning that the latter can be used as a proxy for the clinker 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratio. Finally, the concentrated hydrochloric acid/nitric acid dissolution method was found to be the most suitable sample preparation method for the cements; it is thus recommended for 87Sr/86Sr isotope analyses for cement provenancing.
Bitumen is a crucial building material in road construction, which is exposed to continuously higher stresses due to higher traffic loads and changing climatic conditions. Therefore, various additives are increasingly being added to the bitumen complicating the characterisation of the bituminous binder, especially concerning the reuse of reclaimed asphalt.
Therefore, this work aimed to demonstrate that the combination of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy with attenuated total reflexion (ATR) technique and multivariate evaluation is a very wellsuited method to reliable identify and quantify additives in bituminous binders. For this purpose, various unmodified and modified binders, directly and extracted from laboratory and reclaimed asphalts, were investigated with FTIR-ATR spectroscopy. The determined spectra, pre-processed by standard normal variate (SNV) transformation and the determination of the 1st derivation, were evaluated using factor Analysis (FA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and partial least square regression (PLSR). With this multivariate evaluation, first, a significant model with a very high hit rate of over 90% was developed allowing for the identification of styrene-butadiene copolymers (SBC), ethylene-copolymer bitumen (ECB) and different waxes (e.g. amide and Fischer-Tropsch wax) even if the additives do not show any additional peaks or the samples are multi-modified. Second, a quantification of the content is possible for SBC, ECB, and Amide wax with a mean error of RMSE B 0.4 wt% and a
coefficient of determination of R2[90%. Based on these results, FTIR identification and quantification of additives in bituminous binders is a very promising method with a great potential.
In Germany, the reuse of asphalt has a long tradition. Since the 1980s, the reclaimed asphalt has been recycled achieving a reuse rate of around 90% and thus a very high value in the last years. In the future, instead of the amount, the quality of the reclaimed asphalt will be more important because the recycled asphalt will be reused again and again. Thus, these asphalt mixes are in the second or even third cycle of reuse. Concerning this situation, the question arises if asphalt can be reused several times without any loss in quality. An important factor affecting the asphalt quality is the binder bitumen. During the production, construction and service life, the ageing of this binder occurs causing a hardening of the bitumen. To compensate this hardening, additives for the reclaimed asphalt in terms of rejuvenation agents (rejuvenators) gain in importance. With these rejuvenators, the physical properties of bitumen can be modified e.g. the hardness and the stiffness reduced. However, the mechanism of the rejuvenation agents and the effects of the bitumen chemistry are largely unknown because the composition of the products varies very strongly. But with growing knowledge about these mechanisms and effects of the rejuvenation agents, the chemical composition and thus the physical and ageing behavior of bitumen can be targeted modified by the use of suitable rejuvenators. In this work, the actual results of the project Postcarbone road should be presented including investigations about the chemical and physical mechanisms as well as the efficiency of different rejuvenators.
Further, a model for the cyclic reuse of bitumen should be developed. Based on this model, the choice of a suitable rejuvenation agent for the considered bitumen or rather asphalt should be possible. The project Postcarbone road (392670763) is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
With the aim of identifying the origin and the manufacturer of a cement, a reliable procedure that provides unambiguous results is needed. Such procedure could resolve practical issues in damage research, liability issues and forensic investigations. A substantial number of attempts for fingerprinting of building materials, including cement, has already been carried out during the last decades. Most of them were based on concentration analysis of the main elements/components. This review provides an overview of provenance studies of cement and the main approaches commonly used. Provenance studies of cement via isotope techniques are also presented and discussed as representatives of the state-of-the-art in the field. Due to the characteristic properties and the occurrence of carefully selected isotope ratios, unique fingerprints of different kinds of materials can be provided by these methods. This property has largely been explored in various scientific fields such as geo- and cosmochemistry, food forensics, archaeology, geochronology, biomedical studies, and climate change processes. However, the potential of isotope techniques in cement and concrete research for provenance studies has barely been investigated.
Therefore, the review outlines a suitable approach using isotope ratios, which could lead to reliable provenancing of cementitious materials in the future.
Basic oxygen furnace slags (BOFS) are by-products of the steelmaking process. Several researchers have studied the production of Portland cement clinker and metallic iron from BOFS via a reductive treatment.
In this study, we applied a carbothermal reduction of BOFS in a technical-scale electric arc furnace and characterised the clinker-like products. Those clinker-like non-metallic products (NMPs) had a chemical and mineralogical composition comparable to clinker for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and contained large elongated alite crystals as major component. The pure NMPs reacted more slowly and achieved a lower degree of hydration compared with commercial OPC.
If the reactivity of the products can be further increased by employing specific adaptations, it can be used as a full clinker substitute for OPC. Nevertheless, it is also an option to use the material without further modifications as a cement component or concrete addition, which contributes to the strength development in both cases.
