Compared with most common construction materials, fiber reinforced cementitious materials are well known to exhibit better physical, working and mechanical properties. In this study, three fibers were selected: polypropylene fiber (PPF) and polyvinyl alcohol fiber (PVAF), which represented synthetic fibers, and sisal fiber (SF), which represented natural fibers. Effects of these fibers on the flowability, rheological properties, and adsorption behavior of the cement paste with polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE) were investigated. Furthermore, the above experimental results were verified by measuring the contact angle of the fiber with water and PCE solution and the apparent morphology of the fiber. Results revealed that the addition of fibers significantly reduces the fluidity of the cement paste, while the yield stress and plastic viscosity of the cement paste increase with the addition of fibers. From the contact angle and scanning electron microscope, the surface of SF was relatively rough, and the contact angle of SF with water or PCE solution was the smallest. It can be concluded that the plant fiber has a significant influence on the fluidity and rheology of cement paste.
Die Oberflächen nichtrostender Stähle sind durch eine Passivschicht geschützt. Ist diese beschädigt oder unvollständig ausgebildet, sind Anlagenkomponenten in Gefahr, durch Korrosionsangriffe zerstört zu werden.
KorroPads liefern ein valides Prüfergebnis zum Zustand der Passivschicht. Der Schnelltest dauert nur 15 min.
Water migration in one-side heated concrete: 4D in-situ CT monitoring of the moisture-clog-effect
(2019)
Explosive spalling due to fire exposure in concrete structures can lead severe damage and, in the worst case, to premature component failure. For this reason, an in situ investigation of water Migration in concrete due to surface heating was undertaken.
During these experiments, a miniaturized concrete specimen within a confining and insulating double-hull was subjected to surface heating during simultaneous X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning. Through the use of subtraction-based Image analysis techniques, it was possible to observe and quantify not only drying within areas of the concrete matrix close to the heated surface, but also the migration of moisture to both pore and matrix regions deeper within the specimen. It was also discovered that the correction of CT images for specimen deformation using DVC and variable detector performance using calibrated image filters significantly improved the quality of the results. This clearly demonstrates the potential of X-ray CT for evaluation of other rapid-density-change phenomena in concrete and other building materials.
Mit der KorroPad-Prüfung können lochkorrosionsanfällige Oberflächen einfach, schnell und kostengünstig nachgewiesen werden. Das KorroPad ist damit für Hersteller, Verarbeiter, Anwender und Forscher eine interessante Alternative zu zeitintensiven Auslagerungsversuchen und elektrochemischen Untersuchungsmethoden, die normalerweise bei der Charakterisierung nichtrostender Stähle zur Anwendung kommen. Mit der KorroPad-Prüfung können aber auch werkstoff und gefügebedingte Einflussfaktoren sichtbar gemacht werden, die Lochkorrosionsanfälligkeit verursachen. Um dies zu veranschaulichen, wird die Nachweisgrenze des KorroPads an Referenzlegierungen mit abgestuftem Chromgehalt aufgezeigt.
Darauf aufbauend wird dargestellt, wie die Sensibilisierung nichtrostender Stähle durch Chromverarmung mit einer gezielten Verschärfung der KorroPad-Prüfung nachgewiesen werden kann.

Viscosity modifying agents: Key components of advanced cement-based materials with adapted rheology
(2022)
Viscosity modifying agents (VMAs) are essential ingredients for the production of flowable cement-based materials. This paper presents an overview of commonly used VMAs and attempts to shed some light on the underlying physics at the origin of their mechanisms of action. The main molecular parameters of VMA controlling the rheological properties of the cement pore solution are highlighted. As the mechanisms of action of VMAs in cement-based materials are closely related to their affinity with the surface of cement particles, the adsorption of the main VMA types is discussed. The effect of VMAs on flow properties and stability of cement-based materials is presented for VMAs added without any superplasticizer, and then in systems incorporating both VMAs and superplasticizers. Finally, the effect of VMAs in enhancing concrete properties to secure adequate performance of different construction applications, and perspectives for future developments of novel cement-based materials made with VMAs are showcased.
Additive manufacturing (AM) of alkali-activated materials is a promising method for producing ceramic precursors, construction elements and other parts. A recently introduced AM process is laser-induced slip casting of lithium aluminate/microsilica slurries, which yields parts with excellent mechanical strengths. To clarify the underlying mechanisms, μ-Raman spectroscopy was applied to parts produced by the process, and the dissolution and hydration of lithium aluminate was studied inter alia using conventional and in-situ X-ray diffraction. The results show that significant dissolution of lithium aluminate occurs, particularly at increased temperatures during laser interaction, which leads to an increase of pH and precipitation of an akopovaite-like Li-Al-CO3 layered double hydroxide. The increase of the pH is likely to induce dissolution of the microsilica and possibly formation of a hydrous lithium aluminosilicate gel. These observations explain the strength evolution of the studied parts and can also aid the development and improvement of related AM methods.
To set up recommendations on how to define “reasonable minimum composition thresholds” for CO2 streams to access CO2 pipeline networks, we investigated potential impacts of CO2 streams with different and temporally variable compositions and mass flow rates along the CCS chain. All investigations were based on a generic “CCS cluster scenario” in which CO2 streams captured from a spatial cluster of eleven emitters (seven fossil-fired power plants, two cement plants, one refinery and one steel mill) are collected in a regional pipeline network. The resulting CO2 stream (19.78 Mio t impure CO2 per year) is transported in a trunk line (onshore and offshore) and injected into five generic replicate storage structures (Buntsandstein saline aquifers) offshore. Experimental investigations and modeling of selected impacts revealed beneficial as well as adverse impacts of different impurities and their combinations. Overall, no fundamental technical obstacles for transporting, injecting and storing CO2 streams of the considered variable compositions and mass flow rates were observed. We recommend to define minimum composition thresholds for each specific CCS project through limiting
i) the overall CO2 content,
ii) maximum contents of relevant impurities or elements,
iii) acceptable variability of concentrations of critical impurities, and defining impurity combinations to be avoided.
The built environment significantly impacts the health of individuals and populations in various ways. The health and durability of the built environment are intertwined with availability ofnaturally occurring and man-made resources and their supply chains. Therefore, resource con servation is a key to ensure sustainability of built environments. Many industrial wastes can be turned into valuable resources for reuse in construction of the built environment. For instance, biowaste (woody/ leafy biomass and animal waste) have been used to make construction adhesives (Fini et al., 2011), some urban wastes have been used in road construction (Poulikakos et al., 2017; Schmidt et al., 2021), end of life plastics and polymers have made their way to roadway construction, bio-oils and algae harvested from wastewater treatment plants has been used to make antiaging for outdoor building elements to mitigate UV aging (Kabir et al., 2021); sulfur has been used as an extender in asphalt and recycled mineral powders such as silica and alumina have been used to increase strength and durability against acidic compounds (Fini et al., 2019). These are just a few examples of recycling venues with beneficial uses in the built environment.
The construction and operation of the built environment and the traffic that it attracts or facilitates significantly contribute to the emis sion of greenhouse gasses (GHG) and cause air pollution. The direct and indirect impacts of GHG and air pollutants on the environment and so cieties have been weil established. The built environment can be used as a powerful platform not only for recycling and resource conservation but also to remove near-ground gaseous contaminants. This can be done via tailored design and engineering of adsorptive construction materials via recycling of waste materials. For instance, advanced sorbent systems can be made for removing C02, H2S, and formaldehyde from air. This re quires tailored sorbent design, topology optimization, and catalytic conversion of collected gaseous compounds to name a few.
This special issue covers innovative materials, methods, and man agement practices which aim to simultaneously address durability ofthe built environment, air quality, resource conservation, and supply chain resilience. Such innovative materials, methods, and management prac tices will transform the built environment into not only an active contributor to no waste, no pollution for healthy environment, but also a medium that converts the waste and pollution into beneficial products for use in the built environment, thereby promoting resource conser vation. Followings are examples of topics that the special issue is interested in:
• Venuses to advance resource conservation specifically via novel ap proaches in the built environment.
• Innovative construction materials for passive or active adsorption of harmful gaseous emissions to conserve air, energy, and water.
• Advanced materials, methods, and management practices to pro mote well-being of the built environment.
• Smart buildings to promote resource conservation.

(2019)
The thermohydraulic damage mechanism is one of the primary causes for explosive spalling of highperformance concrete. This paper presents the spatially- and temporally-resolved analysis of the thermally-induced moisture transport and reconfiguration processes by means of X-ray-CT and 1HNMR.
Thermal testing results for a high-performance concrete, which is sensitive to explosive spalling and which was prepared with and without added polypropylene fibres, are presented in this paper. These results indicate that the addition of fibres leads to a faster and deeper migration of the drying front and, thus, to a lower likelihood of vapour-pressure induced explosive spalling.
