The rheological parameters viscosity and dynamic yield point describe the consistency and thus the pouring ability and consequently the quality of Self Compacting Concrete (SCC). Data collected from the measurement are the basis for an expert system which will help to readjust mixes with deviating rheology. Firstly, investigations were carried out during the development of different SCC mixtures in the COST TU 1404 Action. Secondly, investigations were done in two precast plants. A ball rheometer was installed in the respective mixers. The SCC for premium precast products was tested then during ongoing production. In addition, several test series were carried out in the laboratory of the OTH with the respective constitutive materials. During the test series, the mix designs of the well working SCC's were modified by using a deviating water content. Subsequently, using the rheological data, water, superplasticizer or stabilizing agents were added to the mix, trying to reach proper workability again. The graphs for the changing rheological properties as a function of the respective amount of start water content and additional water dosage or admixture dosage were generated and analyzed for the mixes of the two precast plants.

Investigations focus on durability of constructions and the use of sustainable materials and the reduction of CO2 emission (especially of the binder). Constructions have to be sustainable and durable. This will lead to low maintenance work and costs as well as a good life cycle performance. The aim of the Austrian research project „Advanced and Sustainable Shotcrete - ASSpC" is to improve shotcrete mix design regarding durability and sustainability. There are different ways which may lead to success, one possibility is to replace part of the clinker content in the binder with supplementary cementitious materials. But it is crucial that new mix designs fulfil the technical requirements on site concerning workability and early age strength development, too. One central issue of the research project is to investigate how the pumpability of shotcrete can be determined in lab. At the moment there is no proven method available to measure the pumpability of shotcrete. Several test methods are used to determine the stability, tendency to segregation, bleeding and of course the consistency of concrete. Common test methods like the spread flow table and V-funnel flow time are used as well as two point test methods like the concrete rheometer eBT2 and Sliper. The segregation tendency is evaluated by the filter pressing test and the bucket setting test. Results from lab will be compared to results from site to define threshold values and parameters which describe the pumping characteristics of shotcrete base mix. In addition to that the early age strength development of the shotcrete mix design is investigated with the Minishot System designed by Sika. The shotcrete system is downscaled to a mini spray unit. In opposite to common test methods it is not necessary to mix the accelerator into the cement paste or mortar, but it will be added at the nozzle. The paste is sprayed by a downscaled nozzle and thus a realistic shear stress can be achieved. The paste is applied to a pulsment ultrasound spectrometer and the shear modulus development is measured continuously over time. The results can be linked to the strength development of shotcrete.

Determination of the residual strength of FRC according to the Austrian Guideline Fibre Reinforced Concrete was the starting point for the tests. The beams were first tested under four-point flexural loading up to a deflection of 1.75 mm. The beams were then unloaded and three pre-cracked beams were loaded with a sustained load at various percentages of the load reported at 1.75 mm deflection. The used testing procedure, realized and planned improvements are discussed. Typical creep-time curves of FRC are presented. The load level was increased stepwise. Starting point was 50 \% of the residual load at 1.75 mm deflection. At the load level of 60 \%, beams with several fibre types started deforming faster and the test ended up in a creep failure. An alarming fact is that beams with some fibre-types may fail after 7 years of loading.}, language = {en} }
