In this paper, we demonstrate the value of 1H NMR relaxometry for studying the hydration of clinker-reduced, more climate-friendly cementitious binders. The results were obtained on typical CEM I cements and sister samples containing two different reactive agricultural ashes as well as non-reactive biochars as supplementary cementitious materials. The findings prove that time-resolved NMR measurements provide valuable additional information when combined with classical heat flow calorimetry.
Asphalt is one of the most common materials used in road construction. It is subject to both chemical and structural aging processes during use. At least to our knowledge, it is not currently known whether these aging processes also lead to a measurable change in the thermal properties of asphalt. If so, these changes could be exploited for non-destructive testing of the aging condition in situ. Photothermal analysis of a component surface involves looking at the time course of the surface temperature during and after pulse-like heating with an expanded laser beam. In the case of concrete surfaces, this method works well under laboratory conditions. It allowed the determination of the thermal effusivity. Now it should be investigated whether the photothermal signal allows conclusions to be made regarding the aging state of the asphalt. Within the scope of this paper, 2 asphalt specimens were investigated: a closed asphalt with 3% void content (SMA 11S) and an open-pore asphalt with 25% void content (PA 8). Both samples were artificially degraded according to a standardized procedure, leaving a portion of the surface unaffected. Subsections from both areas were then separated for photothermal testing. It was found, that the photothermal method is apparently not sensitive enough to detect aging on asphalt in general. However, it is noteworthy that both asphalt types heat up significantly faster than would be expected from the theory of heat conduction, which might be explained by the specific microstructure.

The global demand for concrete is growing, and with it, its carbon footprint. Current literature proposes biochar, a product of pyrolysis, as a possible car-bon sink to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete. This work investigates the microstructure of Portland cement pastes with 0%, 5%, and 25% of the cement replaced with wood biochar, since this should influence its macro-scopic mechanical properties. MIP, gas sorption, NMR, and µ-CT were used to analyze the pore space of the three materials. The combination of these methods, each with different resolution, enables a multi-scale investigation of biochar impact on the microstructure of cement pastes. NMR confirmed that biochar can absorb moisture and, thus, reduces the effective water-to-cement ratio. MIP and gas sorption results show 0% and 5% volume re-placement have similar gel pore structure. The results from µ-CT investiga-tions suggest that biochar may reduce the formation of larger pores. The in-clusion of non-reactive porous particles such as biochar increase the porosity of the material and should act as a weakness in terms of mechanical proper-ties. Overall, this study highlights the need to carefully tailor replacement rates to control the impact of biochar on the microstructure concrete mixtures and sees a strong need for further studies on mechanical properties.
NMR is becoming increasingly popular for the investigation of building materials as it is a non-invasive technology that does not require any sample preparation nor causes damage to the material. Depending on the specific application it can offer insights into properties like porosity and spatial saturation degree as well as pore structure. Moreover it enables the determination of moisture transport properties and the (re-)distribution of internal moisture into different reservoirs or chemical phases upon damage and curing. However, as yet most investigations were carried out using devices originally either designed for geophysical applications or the analysis of rather homogeneous small scale (< 10 mL) samples. This paper describes the capabilities of an NMR tomograph, which has been specifically optimized for the investigation of larger, heterogeneous building material samples (diameters of up to 72 mm, length of up to 700 mm) with a high flexibility due to interchangeable coils allowing for a high SNR and short echo times (50 - 80 m s).
Multi-sensory monitoring and ultrasound for quality assurance at underground sealing structures
(2023)
Within the safety concepts of underground disposal sites of nuclear waste, engineered barriers play an important role. As these sealing structures have high demands concerning integrity, we aim at advancing the available construction materials, monitoring, and inspection techniques within the project SealWasteSafe. A specifically developed alkali-activated material is compared to classical salt concrete. A comprehensive multi-sensory monitoring scheme is used at 150-340 l specimens to monitor setting and hardening of both materials. All sensors are demonstrated to resist the highly alkaline environments. Besides cabled and wireless temperature and humidity of the materials, strain variations using fibre optic sensors and acoustic emissions are recorded over periods of at least 28 days, partly for more than eight months. After hardening of the specimens, further nondestructive evaluations using ultrasonic echo and thermographic measurements are conducted.
Preliminary results proof the suitability of the tested sensors and clearly highlight differences between the tested materials. Particularly, the newly developed alkali-activated material shows lower acoustic emission activity indicating less cracking activity. Additionally, unique ultrasonic methods will enable better images of potential internal objects and cracks at in-situ sealing structures. A largescale ultrasonic system is optimised to reliably detect objects at a depth exceeding 9 m while still obtaining a good resolution. Modelling studies show the potential of further increasing the distance between individual transducer arrays. Additionally, a new ultrasonic borehole probe using phased arrays allowing for beam focussing is constructed and tested. Laboratory measurements at a halfcylindrical concrete specimen coincide well with the previous modelling. In total, the presented safe materials, detailed monitoring approaches and ultrasonic quality assurance methods will help to obtain safe sealing structures within salt as a host rock. The concepts can partly be transferred to sealing structures in alternative host rocks and will also be valuable for non-nuclear waste repositories.
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) with focus on 1H protons is increasingly applied for non-destructive testing applications. Besides mobile NMR, laboratory devices such as the NMR core-analyzing tomograph are used. As their magnetic field is more homogeneous, they enable measurements with higher signal-to-noise ratios (SNR), but with limited sample sizes. The tomograph presented here (8.9 MHz) was constructed for a maximum sample diameter of 70 mm and length of up to 1 m. The resolution, the echo time (min. 50 µs), the SNR and the measurement type can be adjusted by means of exchangable coils. The tomograph enables measurements along the complete sensitive length, slice-selective and even 2- or 3-dimensional measurements. A movable sample lifting system thereby allows a precise positioning of the sample.
The amount of data generated worldwide is constantly increasing. These data come from a wide variety of sources and systems, are processed differently, have a multitude of formats, and are stored in an untraceable and unstructured manner, predominantly in natural language in data silos. This problem can be equally applied to the heterogeneous research data from materials science and engineering. In this domain, ways and solutions are increasingly being generated to smartly link material data together with their contextual information in a uniform and well-structured manner on platforms, thus making them discoverable, retrievable, and reusable for research and industry. Ontologies play a key role in this context. They enable the sustainable representation of expert knowledge and the semantically structured filling of databases with computer-processable data triples.
In this perspective article, we present the project initiative Materials-open-Laboratory (Mat-o-Lab) that aims to provide a collaborative environment for domain experts to digitize their research results and processes and make them fit for data-driven materials research and development. The overarching challenge is to generate connection points to further link data from other domains to harness the promised potential of big materials data and harvest new knowledge.
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
liebe Leserinnen und Leser,
bereits im ersten Band der N.i.Ke. Schriftenreihe des Netzwerks zur interdisziplinären Kulturerhaltung hatte ich angeführt, dass bei der Untersuchung von kulturellen Artefakten naturwissenschaftliche Untersuchungsmethoden zunehmend an Bedeutung gewinnen, sie eigentlich unverzichtbar geworden sind.
Ein besonders einprägsames Beispiel dieser fächerübergreifenden Zusammenarbeit zwischen Geisteswissenschaften, Naturwissenschaften und Restaurierungswissenschaften war die Ausstellung Johannes Vermeer. Vom Innehalten, die in diesem Jahr in der Gemäldegalerie Alter Meister in den staatlichen Kunstsammlungen Dresden gezeigt wurde. Eigens für diese Ausstellung wurde das Gemälde Brieflesendes Mädchen am offenen Fenster einer grundlegenden Restaurierung unterzogen. Diese Restaurierung diente jedoch nicht nur der Reparatur des Bildes. Um sich dem ursprünglichen Zustand des Gemäldes zwischen 1657 und 1659 anzunähern, wurden später hinzugefügte Malschichten großflächig abgenommen. Möglich wurde dies durch unterschiedliche, bildgebende materialwissenschaftliche Untersuchungen im Vorfeld, welche die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen für die Diskussion über den weiteren Umgang mit der Lesenden schufen.
Materialanalytische Verfahren wurden und werden ständig weiterentwickelt und optimiert. Sei es, um aus einer Vielzahl von Einzelmessungen ein Gesamtbild zu erstellen, oder die Größe einer Probenentnahme so zu reduzieren, dass von einer „minimal-invasiven“ oder „quasi nicht-invasiven“ Untersuchung ausgegangen werden kann. Nun feiert die Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung, zusammen mit ihren Vorgängerinstitutionen, den königlichen Versuchsanstalten, in diesem Jahr ihren einhundertfünfzigsten Geburtstag. Sie blickt damit auf eine lange Tradition materialwissenschaftlicher Analysen zurück, an deren Beginn beispielsweise die metallographischen Untersuchungen von Adolf Martens stehen. Derartige Untersuchungen bilden auch heute noch einen wesentlichen Bestandteil archäometallurgischer Forschung. Die Historie bzw. die Weiterentwicklung der Methodik lässt sich hier besonders gut nachzeichnen. Jedoch blicken auch Verfahren zur Charakterisierung weiterer Werkstoffe, wie Glas, Keramik, oder organischer Materialien auf eine lange Geschichte zurück.
Die in diesem Band der N.i.Ke.-Schriftenreihe präsentierten Beiträge dokumentieren einerseits aktuelle Forschungsarbeiten, die erst in diesem Jahr in entsprechenden Fachjournalen publiziert wurden, andererseits liegen einige der Arbeiten bereits 50 Jahre zurück. Sie bekunden damit nicht nur die materialtechnologische und historische Bandbreite der Projekte, sondern offenbaren die Vielfältigkeit kulturhistorischer oder restauratorischer Fragestellungen, zu deren Beantwortung natur- und materialwissenschaftliche Forschung wesentliche Beiträge liefern können.
Ich bedanke mich bei allen Kolleginnen und Kollegen, die zur Erstellung dieser dritten Ausgabe der N.i.Ke. Schriftenreihe des Netzwerks zur interdisziplinären Kulturerhaltung beigetragen haben. Ihre Aufsätze ermöglichen den Blick in die Vielfältigkeit materialwissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen im Bereich Kunst- und Kulturgut. Ich wünsche Ihnen viel Spaß auf dieser kleinen Zeitreise.
Prediction of dynamic effects of reinforced concrete structures under impact loading is a technical challenge. This is a consequence of the great variability of the physical properties resulting from the wide adaptability of reinforced concrete and a consequence of the wide range of impact loading. Experiments and numerical investigations are normally used on a small scale to address the problem. In this paper, impact tests on reinforced conrete plates with the lateral dimensions of 1.5 m x 1.5 m and a thickness of 30 cm are presented. In bending reinforcement, besides the velocity two properties are varied, the diameter and the spatial distribution of the rebars. Experiments are performed at the Otto-Mohr-Laboratory of the Institute of Concrete Structures of the Technische Universit¨at Dresden. Due to the accelerated fall of the impactor the velocity ranges between 20 and 70 m/s. In addition to the measured quantities such as bearing forces, accelerations are also measured at 4 different positions on and under the plate, as well as the deflection at several positions. The measured data are used for the analysis of the damage form and the numerical examinations with the program Ansys Autodyn and the material model after Drucker-Prager.
Numerical investigations support the tests, with detailed analysis of individual effects. These numerical computations and the planar tomographic investigations were carried out at BAM in Berlin. With the help of planar tomographic evaluation, the damaged structure is
made visible and compared with the numerical results. Influences of the bending reinforcement are explained on the basis of damage evaluation in the local area and on selected measured values. In addition to the test evaluation, the tomographic and numerical methods are presented.
