The mechanical properties of unstabilised earthen building materials are distinctively influenced by changes in material moisture content. However, this moisture-dependency often remains unconsidered in the calculation of the load-bearing capacity of earth constructions. This paper aims to derive a convenient way to sufficiently consider the impact of different material moisture contents on the mechanical properties of unstabilised earth masonry. Therefore, the influence of relative humidity and temperature on the strength and deformation characteristics of unstabilised earth blocks, earth mortar and earth masonry is evaluated by conducting compression tests under various climate conditions. The results show that the compressive strength and the modulus of elasticity are linearly correlated with the relative humidity, whereas changes in temperature at constant relative humidity have no significant influence. To account the distinct moisture-dependency, a general applicable modification factor for unstabilised earthen materials is provided, which enables the adjustment of the compressive strength and the modulus of elasticity in dependency of arbitrary hygroscopic material moisture contents.
Abstract: Increasing demand for sustainable, resilient, and low-carbon construction materials has highlighted the potential of Compacted Mineral Mixtures (CMMs), which are formulated from various soil types (sand, silt, clay) and recycled mineral waste. This paper presents a comprehensive inter- and transdisciplinary research concept that aims to industrialise and scale up the adoption of CMM-based construction materials and methods, thereby accelerating the construction industry’s systemic transition towards carbon neutrality. By drawing upon the latest advances in soil mechanics, rheology, and automation, we propose the development of a robust material properties database to inform the design and application of CMM-based materials, taking into account their complex, time-dependent behaviour. Advanced soil mechanical tests would be utilised to ensure optimal performance under various loading and ageing conditions. This research has also recognised the importance of context-specific strategies for CMM adoption. We have explored the implications and limitations of implementing the proposed framework in developing countries, particularly where resources may be constrained. We aim to shed light on socio-economic and regulatory aspects that could influence the adoption of these sustainable construction methods. The proposed concept explores how the automated production of CMM-based wall elements can become a fast, competitive, emission-free, and recyclable alternative to traditional masonry and concrete construction techniques.
We advocate for the integration of open-source digital platform technologies to enhance data accessibility, processing, and knowledge acquisition; to boost confidence in CMM-based technologies; and to catalyse their widespread adoption. We believe that the transformative potential of this research necessitates a blend of basic and applied investigation using a comprehensive, holistic, and transfer-oriented methodology. Thus, this paper serves to highlight the viability and multiple benefits of CMMs in construction, emphasising their pivotal role in advancing sustainable development and resilience in the built environment.
Admixtures are important constituents to enhance the performance of concrete. They allow for more efficient use of binders which can mitigate negative environmental impacts from producing cement-based materials. Commonly used rheology modifying agents like polycarboxylate ethers or cellulose ethers are synthetic or semi-synthetic, respectively. This requires additional energy consumption for their production and global supply chains particularly for many developing regions, which will be large consumers of concrete in the future. However, many locally available bio-based polysaccharides could be effectively used instead. These polymers are often overlooked by engineers and scientists due to their limited distribution and inherent complexity, yet they represent an underleveraged source of precursors for admixtures. This study investigates the action mechanisms of some bio-based rheology modifying agents, i.e., acacia gum and miscanthus gum, and provides a comparison to a conventionally modified starch. The results show that the mechanism of action of these polymers is closely related to the composition of the mixture, mixing regime, and the composition of the aqueous phase. Depending on the agent, either plasticizing or stabilizing effects on rheology can be revealed.
This paper aimed to perform an exploratory literature review, focusing on the aspects of hydration and rheological properties of cementitious composites with açaí fibers. The use of natural fibers as a reinforcement in cementitious matrices has been widely studied, and açaí fiber is a promising option due to its unique characteristics. However, there is still a lack of knowledge regarding the correlation between fiber parameters and the technological properties of composites, which limits the development of new applications, such as 3D printing. The review provided an overview of the main characteristics of açaí fibers and the parameters for their application in cementitious matrices. Alkali treatment with 5% NaOH solution for 1 h shows increased mechanical and physical properties in açaí fibers. Despite the potential advantages of these composites, they pose challenges due to the different fiber surface treatment and interfacial transitions and the processing conditions of the fibers. Although small addition of açaí fibers slightly decreases the cement hydration process, keeping the cross-compatibility index high (>95). To overcome these challenges, it is necessary to evaluate the rheological behavior of cementitious materials with açaí fibers, which has not been reported in the literature. By doing so, it will be possible to optimize the processing conditions and develop new applications, such as additive manufacturing, which has never been explored with açaí fibers.
Binary systems composed of Portland cement (PC) and calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement have stood out for applications requiring high early strengths. Nevertheless, the application of these systems may be limited due to their properties in the fresh state, which requires a better understanding of the rheological behavior of these materials. Thus, this study evaluated the incorporation of different polycarboxylate-based superplasticizer (SP) contents (0.15, 0.20, and 0.25 wt%) on PC and PC-CSA binary cement pastes. Rotational rheometry, isothermal calorimetry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and nitrogen adsorption and desorption tests to assess the pore size distribution of cement pastes were conducted. While the SP incorporation reduced the dynamic yield stress of PC pastes, it progressively increased the yield stress of PC-CSA systems. The increase in SP content increased the main heat flow peak of PC-CSA pastes, although it did not significantly affect the cumulative heat after 160 h of hydration. FTIR and XRD confirm higher ettringite contents in the binary systems and indicate the presence of carboaluminates phases after 7 d of hydration in both PC and PC-CSA and hemicarboaluminate in PC-CSA pastes. The CSA incorporation reduced the cumulative pore volume by up to 32% compared to PC pastes, while the SP content evaluated did not significantly affect the porosity of PC-CSA pastes.
This study investigated the effect of incorporating three types of nanosilica (NS), two powders, and one colloidal suspension on the hydration, strength, and microstructure of calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement pastes prepared with and without a superplasticizer (SP). X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and compressive strength tests were performed after 2, 5, and 28 days of hydration. The results showed that both NS powders delayed cement hydration at an early age, which was attributed to particle agglomeration (confirmed by dynamic light scattering). Whereas well-dispersed colloidal NS did not significantly affect the hydration of CSA at the investigated ages. SP incorporation improved the dispersion of CSA cement particles, resulting in a 10% increase in the degree of hydration of ye’elimite at 28 days for the system without NS. Conversely, when the SP was incorporated in NS-containing mixtures, it hindered cement hydration of the systems with powdered NS, but did not significantly affect the cement hydration of the system containing colloidal NS. The SEM images suggested that the SP changed the ettringite morphology, thereby negatively affecting the mechanical strength of the CSA pastes.

Die heute in der Anwendung befindlichen Bemessungskonzepte für Ermüdung von Beton stammen zum Teil noch aus den 1990er Jahren und sind speziell hinsichtlich hochfester Betone konservativ ausgelegt. Um die Vorteile von Türmen für Windkraftanlagen, vor allem auch aus hochfesten Betonen, im Zuge des geplanten Ausbaus der Windenergieversorgung in Deutschland wirtschaftlich nutzbar zu machen, müssen diese Bemessungskonzepte weiterentwickelt werden. Dafür sind umfangreiche Untersuchungen zur Ermittlung von Bruchlastwechselzahlen und zur Charakterisierung der Schädigungsentwicklung unter Ermüdungsbeanspruchung erforderlich. Allgemein anerkannte bzw. verbindliche Regelwerke oder Verfahren zur experimentellen Bestimmung der Ermüdungsfestigkeit (Bruchlastwechselzahlen) an Betonproben gibt es zurzeit aber nicht und die bisher durchgeführten Untersuchungen variieren in Parametern wie Probengeometrie, Probengröße und Prüffrequenz. Eine vergleichende Analyse der Ergebnisse der Studien und insbesondere die Übertragbarkeit auf bauteilrelevante Abmessungen ist auf dieser Grundlage nur sehr eingeschränkt möglich.
Future lunar exploration will be based on in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) techniques. The most abundant raw material on the Moon is lunar regolith, which, however, is very scarce on Earth, making the study of simulants a necessity. The objective of this study is to characterize and investigate the sintering behavior of EAC-1A lunar regolith simulant. The characterization of the simulant included the determination of the phase assemblage, characteristic temperatures determination and water content analysis. The results are discussed in the context of sintering experiments of EAC-1A simulant, which showed that the material can be sintered to a relative density close to 90%, but only within a very narrow range of temperatures (20–30 °C). Sintering experiments were performed for sieved and unsieved, as well as for dried and non-dried specimens of EAC-1A. In addition, an analysis of the densification and mechanical properties of the sintered specimens was done. The sintering experiments at different temperatures showed that the finest fraction of sieved simulant can reach a higher maximum sintering temperature, and consequently a higher densification and biaxial strength. The non-dried powder exhibited higher densification and biaxial strength after sintering compared to the dried specimen. This difference was explained with a higher green density of the non-dried powder during pressing, rather than due to an actual influence on the sintering mechanism. Nevertheless, drying the powder prior to sintering is important to avoid the overestimation of the strength of specimens to be fabricated on the Moon.
In this article, a partial selection of experiments on enhancing the impact resistance of structural components with non-metallic, textile-reinforced concrete is discussed. The focus is on the experimental investigations in which the impact resistance of thin, textile-reinforced concrete plates is characterized. The article discusses the materials, fabrics and test setup used. For the experimental work, a drop tower from the Otto Mohr Laboratory, which belongs to the Technische Universtät Dresden, was used. Furthermore, the experimental results are presented and evaluated using different methods. Based on the collected data, a suitable approach to determining the perforation velocity of an impactor through the investigated thin, textile-reinforced concrete plates is shown.
