Diese Hinweisbroschüre erläutert allgemeine Planungsvoraussetzungen und Dimensionierungsregelungen, Baugrundsätze und Zulassungsbedingungen zur Anwendung innovativer Belagsdehnfugensysteme (Fahrbahnübergangskonstruktionen) in hochbeanspruchten Verkehrsflächen des Bundesfernstraßenbereiches. Alle planungsrelevanten, baustoffrelevanten, versuchstechnische, qualitätssichernden und baupraktischen Aspekte werden zur Unterstützung der Straßenbauverwaltungen, der Lieferfirmen und Ausführungsbetriebe erläutert. Die Veröffentlichung stellt eine technische Analyse aus Erfahrungssammlungen und Auswertung praktischer Erkenntnisse dar.
Beton ist weltweit einer der wichtigsten Konstruktionswerkstoffe und zeichnet sich durch eine enorme Anpassungsfähigkeit an sich verändernde Anforderungen aus. Damit verbunden ist eine hohe und kontinuierlich zunehmende Komplexität hinsichtlich der Ausgangsstoffe, Rezepturen und des Herstellungsprozesses. Folglich setzt eine Ausschöpfung des technischen und umweltbezogenen Potenzials der Betonbauweise höchste Expertise bei den Einzelakteuren der Bauindustrie voraus.
To prevent future alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR) damage, which has occurred frequently in the German highway network in recent years, a new regulation has been drafted. This regulation severely limits the use of alkali-sensitive aggregates by requiring that their suitability be verified by certified inspectors using newly developed AAR concrete tests that involve the external supply of alkali. This has led to a significant limitation in the number of aggregates usable for concrete pavements. A novel AAR avoidance strategy is now being pursued, which aims to enable the use of borderline alkali-sensitive aggregates through the application of an internal water-repellent treatment. The addition of water repellents during concrete production should significantly reduce the ingress of water and external de-icing salts into the concrete pavement, thus reducing the potential for AAR damage.
This paper presents the results of laboratory tests to assess the suitability of this new AAR prevention strategy. Representative, highly AAR-susceptible road paving concrete made with an alkali-sensitive greywacke and various water repellents were used as the basis for these experiments. The tests for concrete suitability included determining the conventional fresh and hardened concrete properties as well as concrete prism tests with external alkaline supply. Building on these results, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) analyses of de-icing-salt intrusion as well as microscopic examinations for verification of the AAR characteristics were carried out.
The results of the AAR concrete tests with external alkaline supply support the conclusion that, when hydrophobic agents containing a suitable active ingredient are used, the AAR damage process in road paving concrete can be sufficiently prevented.
The adaption of the set-up for gas permeability measurements for ultra-high performance concrete
(2022)
In the framework of this project, a steam pressure vessel was to be developed from ultra-high perfor-mance concrete (UHPC) to withstand process temperatures of 200 °C and the respective steam pressure of 15,5 bar. To guarantee the long-term water vapour tightness of the system, the permeability of two UHPC mixtures were tested after long-term cyclic autoclaving. As UPHC shows a high density and therefore low permeability, measurements after the RILEM-Recommendation (TC 116-PCD) reached their detection limit. Therefore, the measurement set-up was adapted to measure the permeability of highly dense UHPC more reliably and quickly. This adaption includes measurements in a higher pres-sure range, the change of sample size thickness and the usage of Ar as a medium compared with the RILEM Recommendation. Additionally, the system was equipped with two pressure sensors and Ar-flowmeters to guarantee a continuous record of the experimental parameters. The new system was tested and evaluated by comparing measurements with the RILEM recommended system. Preliminary results show that the adapted system is capable to provide efficient and reliable results of concrete with low permeability.
For the construction of hot water storage tanks, ultra high performance concrete proofed to be a suitable building material to ensure water tightness. Common storage tanks build with concrete are designed to endure temperatures up to 90 °C. To increase the energy efficiency however, modern tanks need to withstand temperatures above 100 °C. With increasing temperature and correlating water vapor pressures, the cement must meet new requirements. Thermodynamic modelling is a promising tool for predicting the phase stabilities of minerals in the cement within these temperature and pressure ranges (T/P). Thus, mixture designs can be investigated and optimized with regard to the expected mineral phases in selected T/P-ranges. Additionally, predictions of the long-term material behavior can be derived from thermodynamic data and subsequently the experimental effort can be reduced notably. On the other hand, validation of predictions is needed. The base for the thermodynamic model is a thermodynamic equilibrium and thus, the experimental data for validation should approach the presumed conditions of the equilibrium. This study investigates variable experimental conditions for the hydration of Portland cement at 100 °C to reach a sufficiently progressed development of the phase composition. In case of Portland cement, the highest degree of hydration achievable within a reasonable time span is the most significant parameter. Therefore, Portland cement pastes with w/c ratios from 0.4 to 0.6 and dwell times up to three weeks were examined with powder X-ray diffraction to identify mineral phase changes. At 100 °C and high humidity, Portland cement paste shows the expected mineral phases like portlandite, katoite, and remaining clinker phases. The cement pastes with high water content and long dwell time seem to have the highest degree of hydration, even though the AFm phases stabilize with increasing w/c ratio. A dwell time of two weeks and a w/c ratio of 0.5 was found to provide the mineral composition with the highest degree of hydration including the major phase transitions.

Earth buildings and adobe construction have been in use for thousands of years. Loam is locally available, environmentally friendly and has a small CO2 footprint mainly resulting from extraction and transport. Because of these reasons loam is one of the building materials of the future.
Water resistance is an important aspect when using loam as a construction material. If the structural option of building protruding roofs cannot be implemented, the water resistance of clay can be improved by stabilization.
Positive properties of the material should not be diminished by stabilization. For example, the desired regulation of air humidity, which however cannot be fully preserved by cement stabilization.
For an alternative and more appropriate stabilisation, different mixtures with calcined clays with alkali activator were examined. The calcination temperature for clays is usually lower than for cement and starts at 600° C. The calcined clays therefore also have a lower CO2 footprint compared to cement. To keep the mixture environmentally friendly potassium was used as alkali ion. It could be proven that the alkali activated polymer enhances water resistance of the loam mixture. Provided some further optimization the material shows potential to replace cement without compromising on the positive properties of clay.
The low calcination temperature for clays (600° C) and a low CO2 footprint compared to cement make them an interesting material. To find a stabilization method for loam using calcined clays, activation by alkalis was necessary. Therefore (and to keep the mixture environmentally friendly) KOH was used as alkali activator. It could be proven that the alkali activated polymer enhances water resistance of the loam mixture.
