Standardporenbeton der Güte PP2‐0,35 wurde verschiedenen Feuchtebedingungen und einer konstanten CO2‐Atmosphäre von 1 Vol‐% ausgesetzt. Zusätzlich wurden Porenbetonproben mit guter und schlechter Phasenausbildung hergestellt und in das Bewitterungsprogramm integriert. Parallel zu der CO2‐Bewitterung erfolgte eine regengeschützte Freilandlagerung des Standardporenbetons über 3 Jahre. An die verschiedenen Lagerungsbedingungen und ‐zeiten schlossen sich Untersuchungen zur Rohdichte, Druckfestigkeit und zum mineralischen Phasenbestand an. Der 3 Jahre im Freiland gelagerte Porenbeton wurde außerdem bezüglich seiner Wärmeleitfähigkeit geprüft. Prüfrandbedingungen wie Materialfeuchte, Austrocknungsverhalten des Porenbetons während der Bewitterung und Umgebungsfeuchte haben einen großen Einfluss auf die Materialeigenschaften. Die Ergebnisse belegen, dass eine künstliche CO2‐Bewitterung zu anderen Ergebnissen führt als eine natürliche Alterung des Porenbetons. Porenbeton mit gut ausgebildetem Tobermorit erfährt unter natürlichen Klimabedingungen keine Veränderung in Druckfestigkeit und Wärmeleitfähigkeit. Eine negative Eigenschafts‐ entwicklung über die Jahre ist nicht zu erwarten. Durability of autoclaved aerated concrete under high CO2 impact. Ordinary autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) (P2‐0,35) was stored under different humidity conditions and a constant CO2 atmosphere of 1 % by volume. Additionally, AAC samples with a good and poor phase formation were produced and included into the weathering procedure. In addition to the artificial CO2 weathering, ordinary AAC was stored under rain protection outdoor for a period of 3 years. After storing the samples under different conditions and periods, the material was measured for its raw density, compressive strength and mineral phase content. The outdoor stored AAC was tested after 3 years for its thermal conductivity. Boundary conditions such as material moisture and drying behaviour of the AAC as well as ambient moisture, influence the material properties within the weathering procedure. Artificial CO2 weathering leads to other effects than natural weathering. AAC with well crystalline tobermorite does not change its compressive strength or thermal conductivity under natural climate conditions. A negative long‐term development of the material properties can be excluded.
Um die Dauerhaftigkeit von Porenbeton besser beurteilen zu kön-nen, gab es in der Vergangenheit verschiedene Forschungsaktivitäten. Als Ergebnis der Untersuchungen wurde eine neue Anforderung an Porenbeton definiert. Das Gesamtschwindmaß, geprüft nach DIN EN 680, muss kleiner als 0,4 mm/m sein. Zusammenhänge und Hintergründe zu dieser neuen Anforderung werden in dem Beitrag dargestellt und diskutiert. Einführung
Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) made its first debut in the USA in the late 1980s. The new material rapidly attracted the attention of engineers, developers, and the construction industry due to its inherent excellent physical and mechanical properties as well as the ability to be treated similar to wood during construction. Hebel from Germany followed by Ytong came to the USA in the 1990s to setup the first manufacturing plants there. Although both companies have been well established in Europe and had a long history of technical expertise and innovations, they were faced with the problems of verification and redevelopment of most of their technical information for the U.S. market. This paper provides a review of technical developments in the USA that were undertaken to establish AAC as a new construction material and gain the acceptance of both the engineering community and the construction industry. Technical committee activities, standards, and design documents developed specifically for AAC in the USA, based on intensive research programs at key universities in the USA, are discussed. Despite the technical advances in the USA, several market barriers have slowed the progress of AAC. Thoughts are provided with a brief overview of the current and future of AAC in the USA.
