DURAFOR - Forecast of durability properties of concrete with new clinker based cements

In a CORNET (Collective Research Networking) research project, the project partners CRIC (Belgium), Smart minerals (Austria) and VDZ (Germany) had combined under the consortium leadership of the VDZ to determine characteristic variables for cement and mortar samples and correlate them with the results of concrete durability tests.

Behaviour of different aggregates under accelerating conditions in ASR testing methods

The research project should generate essential knowledge on the behaviour of different aggregates under accelerated conditions within ASR testing methods. The target was to obtain with different testing methods a consistent assessment of the alkali sensitivity of aggregates and concretes respectively and to clearly identify expansive reactions that are not caused by ASR.

Advanced initial testing for air-entrained concrete with superplasticiser considering conditions in construction practice

As result a procedural instruction for an advanced intial testing should be formulated and the transferability onto conditions in practice should be assessed.

CARBON CONCRETE COMPOSITE – C³: Proofs and testing concepts for standards and technical approvals

In the course of the project, VDZ planned, inter alia, to work together with the ibac, Aachen, to develop a data base for the environmental compatibility of the new composite construction carbon concrete, by leaching and irrigation trials.

Alkali-Silica-Reaction (ASR) of concrete pavements on roads, bus traffic areas and par- king spaces in the municipal sector

This research project in the field of municipal traffic areas was aimed at basic findings for a practice-oriented classification of the moisture class and the respective assessment of concrete by means of a performance-test. For this purpose concrete pavements without showing signs of a damaging ASR after approx. 10 years of use were tested. From this pavements drill cores were taken and assessed with a procedure especially developed for the moisture classes WA.

Damage mechanisms of concrete exposed to freeze-thaw attack: Impact of cement main constituents on the internal damage

In this research project the additional amount of freezable water in concretes consisting of cement with several main constituents and the influence on the critical saturation of the concrete were examined.
