This study focuses on concrete flow in presence of obstacles and develops a mathematical model and a computational approach for SCC flow through reinforced formworks. In order to decrease high computational times needed to simulate castings through reinforced elements, an innovative approach to model the reinforced sections as porous media is proposed here. In the previous work, this numerical model is proved able to simulate the free-surface flow of non-Newtonian fluids through the reinforcement networks. In the present study, the applicability of the model on the concrete flow will finally be proved. The large-scale form-filling experiments with SCC will be conducted and the experiments will be simulated using the proposed numerical model. The numerical model will then be validated through the comparison of the experimental results and the results of the numerical simulations.
Epoxy/Carbon nanotube (CNT) composites are interesting materials that could be used in a wide variety of applications. In this study, CNT contents of 0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2 wt% were used for reinforcing epoxy. A nanoindentation device and a temperature regulating system were developed in order to investigate the effect of CNTs on the time-dependent properties of epoxy using relaxations and creep tests on the nano scale. The relaxation tests showed a significant shift for the relaxation spectrum towards shorter times with introducing a low CNT content of 0.25 wt%. Additionally, creep tests showed that both the holding time at a constant load and the unloading velocity have a major effect on the contact stiffness. However, there was no effect for the CNTs on the creep behavior with contents lower than 1 wt%, which was related to the presence of a percolation threshold around this value.
We use a dynamic scanning electron microscope (DySEM) to analyze the movement of oscillating micromechanical structures. A dynamic secondary electron (SE) signal is recorded and correlated to the oscillatory excitation of scanning force microscope (SFM) cantilever by means of lock-in amplifiers. We show, how the relative phase of the oscillations modulate the resulting real part and phase pictures of the DySEM mapping. This can be used to obtain information about the underlying oscillatory dynamics. We apply the theory to the case of a cantilever in oscillation, driven at different flexural and torsional resonance modes. This is an extension of a recent work (Schr¨oter et al 2012 Nanotechnology 23 435501), where we
reported on a general methodology to distinguish nonlinear features caused by the Imaging process from those caused by cantilever motion.
In welding experiments conducted on heavy wall pipes, the penetration mode (full or partial penetration) occurred to be a significant factor influencing appearance of solidification cracks. To explain the observed phenomena and support further optimization of manufacturing processes, a computational model was developed, which used a sophisticated strategy to model the material. High stresses emerged in the models in regions which showed cracking during experiments. In partial penetration welding, they were caused by the prevention of weld shrinkage due to the cold and strong material below the joint. Another identified factor having an influence on high stress localization is bulging of the weld.
A method for the determination of very volatile organic compounds (VVOC) in air was developed and successfully tested for methanol and ethanol. Carbotrap300® (a multi-bed tube using Carbopack C®, Carbopack B® and Carbosive SIII®) was selected as sorption material for thermal desorption and tested for its suitability for emission test chamber measurements. The adsorption behaviour and the chromatographic results are influenced negatively by spiking aqueous solutions on the adsorption medium for calibration purposes. The latter effect can be reduced by blowing dry air across the adsorbent to remove the adsorbed water. Detection and quantification limits were determined for a GC-FID system and compared to GC-MS. The applicability of the method was tested with a methanol eliminating silane modified polymeric adhesive (SMP-adhesive for parquet) in an emission test chamber
Odour measurements become increasingly important in view of the assessment of indoor air quality and the emissions of building products. Hence they need to be implemented into evaluation schemes such as the AgBB scheme. While there are already standards like DIN ISO 16000-28 and VDI 4302 Part 1 specifying the procedure of odour measurements using a comparison scale, no final validation of the method has been carried out so far. Therefore, a round robin test was conducted in 2012 with 12 participating laboratories that mainly consisted of the following two parts: 1) testing of the available comparison scales with respect to their operational performance and 2) execution of an odour assessment of an acrylic sealant using emission test chambers. Part one included the measurement of the air flow rates and the provided concentrations of the reference substance (acetone). Part two was conducted to test the performance of the laboratories and the applicability of DIN ISO 16000-28 and supplementary VDI 4302 Part 1 by assessing the perceived intensity and the hedonic tone of the air samples. Moreover, samples for VOC analysis were taken from the air in the emission test chamber on the 7th day of testing to allow for quality control. Resulting from this round robin test main deficits were detected and suggestions for the improvement of the odour measurement procedure were made.
In Deutschland fallen mittelfristig erhebliche Mengen von Mauerwerkbruch an. Aus dem jährlichen Bauschuttanfall und den Produktionszahlen von Wandbausteinen lassen sich die Mengen an Mauerwerksrestmassen ableiten, die als Rückbaumaterial bei Abriss-, Umbau und Sanierungsarbeiten in Deutschland anfallen werden. Hiernach ist pro Jahr mit bis zu 10 Millionen Tonnen heute vornehmlich heterogen anfallendem Mauerwerkbruch zu rechnen [1a]. Im Sinne einer nachhaltigen Kreislaufwirtschaft sind diese Restmassen zukünftig einem möglichst hochwertigen Recycling zuzuführen. In diesem Spannungsfeld führt die deutsche Mauersteinindustrie das breit aufgestellte gemeinschaftliche Forschungsprojekt "SIM Stoffkreislauf im Mauerwerksbau" durch. In insgesamt acht mauersteinübergreifenden IGFForschungsvorhaben wurden und werden technisch orientierte Lösungsmöglichkeiten für das Recycling von Mauerwerk erarbeitet und Anwendungsbereiche für Mauerwerksrestmassen aufgezeigt. Eine grundsätzliche Entscheidung über die Eignung von Mauerwerksrestmassen für bestimmte Recyclingwege kann es letztlich nicht geben. Es wird immer eine Einzelfallentscheidung bleiben, die wesentlich durch komplexe technische sowie ökologische und ökonomische Randbedingungen geprägt wird.
Vor diesem Hintergrund wurde im Rahmen des IGF-Forschungsvorhabens 17022 N der Forschungsvereinigung Porenbetonindustrie e.V., Berlin die Nachhaltigkeit verschiedener Recyclingoptionen für Mauerwerkbruch ganzheitlich untersucht und bewertet. Unter Einbeziehung der Hauptwandbausteinarten Ziegel, Kalksandstein, Porenbeton und Leichtbeton wurden dabei material- und verfahrenstechnische sowie ökologische, ökonomische und soziale Aspekte berücksichtigt. Auf Grundlage der gewonnenen Erkenntnisse wurde ein EDV-gestütztes Analysetool (Web-Tool) zur Nachhaltigkeitsbewertung für das Mauerwerksrecycling entwickelt. Mit dem Web-Tool sollen Anwender (Planer, Architekten, Recycler) die Möglichkeit erhalten, für verschiedene Untersuchungsfälle unter Einbeziehung regional und sachlich bedingter Parameter, wie Materialqualität, Stoffmengen, Logistik, Aufbereitungstechnik, Anwendungsbereiche, Kosten und Erlöse, objektspezifische Aussagen zur Nachhaltigkeit treffen zu können. Auf diesem Wege können im Sinne der aktuellen gesetzlichen Vorgaben nachhaltige Stoffkreisläufe im Mauerwerksbau geschlossen und somit letztlich die Deponierung von Mauerwerksrestmassen vermieden werden.
Alle vier Wandbaustoffarten haben sich im Rahmen des Forschungsvorhabens als recyclingfähig und hinsichtlich der Nachhaltigkeit als gleichwertig erwiesen. Das Ziel des Vorhabens wurde damit erreicht.
The use of coconut fiber (CF) agricultural waste was considered as an environmentally friendly and inexpensive alternative in flame retarded biocomposites. To decrease the high content of aluminum trihydrate (ATH) required, the thermal decomposition (thermogravimetry), flammability [oxygen index (LOI) and UL 94 test] and fire behavior (cone calorimeter) of a combination of CF and ATH were investigated in a commercial blend of thermoplastic starch (TPS) and cellulose derivatives. CF induced some charring activity, slightly decreasing the fire load and burning propensity in cone calorimeter test. ATH decomposes endothermically into water and inorganic residue. Significant fuel dilution as well as a pronounced residual protection layer reduces the fire hazards. Replacing a part of ATH with coconut fibers resulted in improved flame retardancy in terms of ignition, reaction to small flame, and flame-spread characteristics [heat release rate (HRR), fire growth rate (FIGRA), etc.]. The observed ATH and CF synergy opens the door to significant reduction of the ATH contents and thus to interesting flame retarded biocomposites.
