Die chemische Analyse von Beton gehört bei der Ermittlung des Ist-Zustandes von Stahl- und Spannbetonbauwerken zu den grundlegenden Untersuchungen bei der Zustandserfassung. Der tiefenabhängige Chloridgehalt sowie der Karbonatisierungsfortschritt müssen bei der Bewertung des Ist-Zustandes, beim Instandsetzungsbedarf und ggf. bei der Planung eines erforderlichen Instandsetzungskonzeptes mit einbezogen werden. Seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre wird an der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung die laserinduzierte Plasmaspektroskopie (engl. Laser-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) – kurz LIBS – stetig für die chemische Analyse von Beton weiterentwickelt. In diesem Beitrag wird der aktuelle Stand der Forschung/ Technik und der Normungsarbeit präsentiert, sowie zukünftig mögliche Anwendungen vorgestellt. Mit den aktuellen LIBS-Systemen (mobiles LIBS-System sowie kommerziell erhältliche Laborsysteme) ist es möglich den Chloridgehalt ortsaufgelöst in wenigen Minuten zu quantifizieren, sogenannte Elementlandkarten zu erstellen und somit die Elementverteilung innerhalb des Betons zu visualisieren. Durch das Scannen eines Bohrkernquerschnittes und der simultanen Erfassung von mehreren Elementen mit einer Messung, ist es zudem möglich, die Gesteinskörnung in den Messdaten zu identifizieren und den Chloridgehalt auf die Zementsteinmatrix zu beziehen. Fehlerquellen aus der Umrechnung der betonbezogenen Chloridgehalte können dadurch minimiert werden. Neben den Grundlagen von LIBS werden vor allem aktuelle Praxisbeispiele vorgestellt, die die aktuellen Möglichkeiten des Verfahrens veranschaulichen.
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.
The effect of particle grain sizes in different cement-based mixtures on the laser-induced plasma evolution is studied using two experimental methods: (i) temporal and spatial evolution of the laser-induced shock wave is investigated using shadowgraphy and two-dimensional plasma imaging, and (ii) temporal and spatial distribution of elements in the plasma is investigated using two-dimensional spectral imaging. This study is motivated by the interest in applying laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for chemical analysis of concrete, and subsequently obtain information related to damage assessment of structures like bridges and parking decks. The distribution of grain sizes is of major interest in civil engineering as for making concrete different aggregate grain sizes defined by a sieving curve (64mm to 0.125 mm) are needed. Aggregates up to a size of 180 μm can be excluded from the data set, therefore only the amount of small aggregates with a grain size below 180 μm must be considered with LIBS. All components of the concrete with a grain size smaller than 0.125mm are related to the flour grain content. Tested samples consisted of dry and hardened cement paste (water-cement ratio w/z=0.5), which served as a reference. Aggregate mixtures were made by adding flour grains (size 40 μm) and silica fume (size 0.1 μm) in different ratios to cement: 10%, 30%, 50% and 60%, all combined to the remaining percentage of dry or hydrated cement. The visualization results show that a dependance in the evolution of the plasma as a function of sample grain size can be detected only in the initial stages of the plasma formation, that is, at the initial 3 μs of the plasma life. Spectral information reveals the elemental distribution of the silicon and calcium in plasma, in both neutral and ionized form. Here also, a significant effect is observed in the first 1 μs of the plasma lifetime.
Die Laserinduzierte Plasmaspektroskopie (engl.: Laser-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy, kurz: LIBS) ist eine Kombination aus Laserablation mittels eines energiereichen Laser-Pulses, der Erzeugung eines Plasmas auf der zu untersuchenden Oberfläche und dem quantitativen Nachweis der Elementzusammensetzung durch spektroskopische Untersuchung der vom Plasma emittierten Strahlung. Ein LIBS-Gerät liefert dem sachkundigen Planer Daten für die Bewertung des Ist-Zustandes von Bauwerken unserer Infrastruktur durch die zweidimensionale Erfassung von Elementverteilungen. Typische Anwendungen sind die Erfassung von Chlor, Schwefel, Kohlenstoff, Natrium, Kalium und Lithium in Beton oder als – Qualitätssicherung – der Nachweis der mit einem Marker versehenen Tiefenhydrophobierung.
In Zusammenarbeit zwischen Industriepartnern und der BAM wurden ein Labor und ein mobiles LIBS-System für die Vor-Ort-Messungen entwickelt. Die Analyse erfolgt vollautomatisch. Die Ortsauflösung beträgt bis zu 0,1 mm x 0,1 mm. Es können Messflächen von 140 mm x 170 mm gescannt werden. Die Erstellung von 2D-Elementverteilungen im Beispiel unten benötigt weniger als 10 Minuten.
Galvanic corrosion protection by embedded zinc anodes is an accepted technique for the corrosion protection of reinforcing steel in concrete. Galvanic currents flow between the zinc anode and the steel reinforcement due to the potential difference that is in the range of a few hundred mV.
The ion distribution was studied on two steel reinforced concrete specimens admixed with 3 wt.% chloride/wt. cement and galvanically protected by a surface applied EZ-anode. On both specimens, a zinc anode was embedded and glued to the concrete surface by a geo-polymer-based chloride-free binder. At one specimen, the EZ-anode was operated for 2,5 years, the EZ-anode at the other specimen was not electrically connected to the reinforcement, this specimen serves as a reference. Both specimens have been stored under identical conditions. The ion distribution between the anode (EZ-ANODE) and cathode (steel reinforcement) was studied by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) after 7 months, 12 months, and 2,5 years. Results of the LIBS studies on the specimen with activated EZ-anode after 7 months, 12 months, and 2,5 years and of the reference specimen after 2,5 years are reported. Results show that diffusion of ions contributes to the changes in the ion distribution but migration, especially of chlorides towards the EZ-anode is significant despite the weak electric field – several hundred millivolts - generated by the galvanic current. Results show that chloride ions accumulate near the zinc-anode as in water-insoluble zinc-hydroxy chlorides - Simonkollite.
One of the most common causes of damage is the ingress of harmful ions into the concrete, which can lead to deterioration processes and affect structural performance. Therefore, the increasingly aging infrastructure is regularly inspected to assess durability. Regular chemical analysis can be useful to determine the extent and evolution of ion ingress and to intervene in a timely manner. This could prove more economical than extensive repairs for major damage, particularly for critical infrastructure. In addition to already established elemental analysis techniques in civil engineering such as potentiometric titration or X-ray fluorescence analysis, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) can provide further important complementary information and benefits. The possibilities of LIBS are demonstrated using the example of a drill core taken from a parking garage.

One of the most common causes of damage is the ingress of harmful ions into the concrete, which can lead to deterioration processes and affect structural performance. Therefore, the increasingly aging infrastructure is regularly inspected to assess durability. Regular chemical analysis can be useful to determine the extent and evolution of ion ingress and to intervene in a timely manner. This could prove more economical than extensive repairs for major damage, particularly for critical infrastructure.

In civil engineering, clear regulations and standards, such as the European standard DIN EN 206 apply to ensure that the existing infrastructure is sufficiently resistant to a wide range of exposure conditions. Despite these regulations, in practice concrete structures often show severe damage during their service life. One of these damages is pitting corrosion of the reinforcement, which can be caused by chloride ingress into the structure. Therefore, determining the distribution and depth of chloride ingress is important in predicting the service life. LIBS provides an alternative method to conventional wet chemistry in civil engineering. Despite many advantages, the use of LIBS has been severely limited due to a lack of regulations. Together with project partners from research and industry, we are currently working on a leaflet that will regulate chloride analysis in civil engineering using LIBS. This year, an international round robin test was organized to evaluate the performance of LIBS for chloride analysis in cement pastes. No specifications were given for the experimental LIBS setup and data evaluation. The preliminary results are presented.
A joint project of partners from industry and research institutions for the research and construction of an analysis system for an automated, sensor-supported sorting of construction and demolition waste will be presented. This is intended to supplement or replace the previously practiced manual sorting, which harbors many risks and dangers for the staff and only enables obvious, visually detectable differences for separation. The method of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy is to be used in combination with hyperspectral sensors. Due to the jointly processed information (data fusion), this should lead to a significant improvement in the separation of types. In addition to the sorting of different materials (concrete, main masonry building materials, organic components, glass, etc.), impurities such as SO3-containing building materials (gypsum, aerated concrete, etc.) could also be detected and separated.
The subsequent recycling and sales opportunities are examined, such as the use of recycled aggregates in concrete, the recycling of building materials containing sulphate as a gypsum substitute for the cement industry or the agglomeration of synthetic lightweight aggregates for lightweight concrete or as a substrate for green roofs. At the same time, it is investigated whether soluble components (sulfates, heavy metals, etc.) can be detected by LIBS without a wet chemical analysis and what impact the recycling materials have on the environment.
The entire value chain is examined using the example of the Berlin location in order to minimize economic / technological barriers and obstacles on a cluster level and to sustainably increase the recovery and recycling rates.
In a joint project of partners from industry and research, the automated recycling of construction and demolition waste (CDW) is investigated and tested by combing laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. Joint processing of information (data fusion) is expected to significantly improve the sorting quality of various materials like concrete, main masonry building materials, organic components, etc., and may enable the detection and separation of impurities such as SO3-cotaining building materials (gypsum, aerated concrete, etc.). The project focuses primarily on the Berlin site to analyze the entire value chain, minimize economic/technological barriers and obstacles at the cluster level, and sustainably increase recovery and recycling rates. First measurements with LIBS and NIR spectroscopy show promising results in distinguishing various material types and indicate the potential for a successful combination. In addition, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy is being performed to obtain more information about the quantitative elemental composition of the different building materials. Future work will apply the developed sorting methodology in a fully automated measurement setup with CDW on a conveyor belt.
