Trenden i byggbranschen är att efterfrågan på täta, energisnåla byggnader ökar. Passivhus och andra lågenergikonstruktioner blir vanligare och vanligare. Riskerna med att bygga in organiskt material som trä i dessa konstruktioner har fått branschen att börja titta på alternativa material. Lättbetong är ett material som både har bärande och isolerande egenskaper. Dessutom är det inte organiskt vilket gör det okänsligt för mikrobiell påväxt. Det som är intressant med lättbetong, ur fuktsynpunkt, är att materialet levereras från tillverkare med en stor mängd byggfukt. Våren 2014 färdigställde Bollnäs Bostäder passivhus- projektet Sundsbro i Bollnäs, där lättbetong ingår i utfackningsväggarna. Sett inifrån består väggen av ett tunt lager kc-puts, lättbetong, cellplast, mineralull, kc-baserad grovputs och ytputs. I detta arbete användes projektet i Bollnäs som referensobjekt och en risk- och känslighetsanalys av väggkonstruktionen utfördes. Arbetet utreder risken för fuktrelaterade problem med väggen vid de extra uttorkningsinsatser som vidtogs i referensobjektet och vid normala uttorkningsbetingelser. Vidare utreds vilka parametrar som är viktiga för väggens fuktfunktion och vad man behöver tänka på när man projekterar och bygger i lättbetong. Arbetet har genomförts i samarbete med AK-Konsult Indoor Air AB och deras senior konsult Anders Kumlin. Fuktberäkningsprogrammet WUFI Pro 5.3 har använts för simuleringar. Beräkningarna gjordes endimensionellt på väggkonstruktionen. Resultaten med den ökade uttorkning som utfördes i referensobjektet visar inget högre fuktinnehåll längst ut i väggen på grund av byggfukt från lättbetongen som vandrar utåt. Farhågan var att så skulle kunna ske och att det skulle kunna leda till mögelproblem. Däremot visar resultaten att bygg-fukt från putsen kan fukta upp mineralullen. Det finns dock inga kända skadefall av detta slag och därför dras ändå slutsatsen att konstruktionen är riskfri. Tack vare en förutseende fukt-projektering och väl utförd uttorkning eliminerades risken för mögel. Hade inte dessa åtgärder vidtagits så visar resultaten att en liten mängd byggfukt hade kunnat vandra utåt och kondensera i mineralullen under första vintern. Då hade det funnits risk för mikrobiell påväxt. Detta visar att det är av största vikt att utföra en noggrann fuktprojektering vid byggnation av välisolerade hus i allmänhet och i synnerhet när lättbetong används. Lyckligtvis gjordes detta på ett bra sätt i referensprojektet. Känslighetsanalysen visar att isoleringens diffusionstäthet är avgörande för hur stor del av bygg-fukten som kan vandra utåt och därmed hur stor risken för problem blir. Lägre täthet ger större risk och högre täthet reducerar risken. Resultaten visar också att det är viktigt att inte montera täta skikt på insidan för tidigt. Den allmänna rekommendationen från leverantör är att lättbetongen skall torkas till 15 % fuktkvot på 50 millimeters djup innan målning och tapetsering på insida vägg får ske. Studien visar att detta är ett för högt fukttillstånd om det skikt som appliceras på insida vägg är tätt. Lättbetongen bör torkas till 5 % på 50 millimeters djup innan helt täta skikt kan monteras utan mögelrisk. / The trend in the construction industry is that the demand for tight, energy-saving buildings is rising. Passive houses and low energy constructions are becoming more and more common. The risk with using organic material in this type of constructions has made the industry look at alternative materials. Aerated concrete is a material that has both load-bearing and insulating properties. In addition to that it is not organic, which makes it insensitive to microbial growth. What is interesting with aerated concrete, from a moisture point of view, is that the material is delivered from the producer with a large amount of construction moisture. In the spring of 2014, the passive-house project Sundsbro in Bollnäs with aerated concrete in the wall construction, was finished by Bollnäs Bostäder. In this study the project in Bollnäs was used as reference object and a risk- and sensitivity analysis was made. The study examines the risk of moisture related problems with the wall construction during normal dehydration conditions and after the increased dehydration efforts that were taken in the reference project. The study also examines which parameters are important for the moisture function of the wall construction and what you need to think about when you project and build with aerated concrete. The job has been done in cooperation with AK-Konsult Indoor Air AB and their senior consultant Anders Kumlin. The moisture calculation program WUFI Pro 5.3 has been used for simulations. The results with the increased dehydration that was used in the reference project show no increased moisture content in the outer parts of the construction due to construction moisture from the concrete that wanders outwards. The concern was that so could happen and that it would lead to mould problems. However the results show that construction moisture from the exterior plaster can moisten the mineral wool. There are no known damage cases of this sort and therefore the conclusion is that the construction is free of risk. Thanks to a foreseeing moisture projection and a well performed dehydration the risk of mould was eliminated. If these measures would not have been taken, the results show that a small amount of construction moisture could have wandered outwards and condensed inside the mineral wool during the first winter. Then there would have been a risk of microbial growth. This shows that it is very important to carry out a detailed moisture projection when constructing well insulated houses in general and when using aerated concrete in particular. Fortunately this was properly done in the reference project. The sensitivity analysis shows that the diffusion resistance of the insulation decides how much of the construction moisture that can wander outwards and consequently the size of the problem risk. Results also show that it is crucial not to apply sealing layers on the inside of the wall too early. The general recommendation from the supplier is that the aerated concrete should be dried to 15 % moisture ratio on 50 millimeter depth before painting and paper hanging on the interior surface of the wall can be done. The study shows that the concrete still is too damp at that stage if the layer applied on the inside of the wall is impermeable. The concrete should be dried down to 5 % moisture ratio before sealing layers can be applied without mould risk.

Работа посвящена изучению многослойных наружных ограждающих конструкций наружных стен многоэтажных жилых каркасных зданий. В современном строительстве такие конструкции выполняются как правило на основе блоков из ячеистого бетона (газозолобетонные блоки). Применение подобных решений оправдано благодаря своей тепловой эффективности. Однако дискуссионным остается вопрос о рациональности использования существующих решений стеновых ограждений, так как необходимость устройства нескольких слоев из различных конструкционных материалов приводит к увеличению трудоемкости возведения. Кроме того, многослойные решения наружных стен зданий предъявляют повышенные требования к качеству выполнения работ, к качеству решений по обеспечению совместной работы нескольких разнообразных по физическим параметрам слоев, и порой такие решения снижают эксплуатационную надежность стенового ограждения, что, к сожалению, нередко приводит к авариям и обрушениям конструкций. Основным вопросом, решенным в исследовании является нахождение наименее трудозатратного варианта ограждающей конструкции, который бы имел сопоставимые с существующими стенами характеристики, а также снижал вероятность ошибки при сооружении наружных стен, которые могут приводить к авариям конструкций. / Present work is devoted to the study of multilayer external enclosing structures of external walls of multi-storey residential frame buildings. In modern construction, such structures are usually made on the basis of aerated concrete blocks. The use of such solutions is justified due to its thermal efficiency. However, the question of the rationality of using existing solutions for wall fences remains debatable, since the need to install several layers of various structural materials leads to an increase in the complexity of construction. In addition, multilayer solutions for the outer walls of buildings place increased requirements for the quality of in place works and overall construction technical quality to ensure the proper action of joints consisted of several layers with various physical parameters, and sometimes such solutions reduce the operational reliability of the wall enclosure, which, unfortunately, often leads to accidents and collapse of structures. The main issue solved in the study is to find the least labor-intensive version of the enclosing structure, which would have characteristics comparable to existing walls, and also reduce the likelihood of errors in the construction of external walls, which can lead to structural failures.

Lightweight cellular concrete (LCC) is mainly a mixture of water, cement, and foam bubbles. LCC generally has a cast density between 20-60 pcf and an air content between 49-84%. LCC is often used as a fill material because it has a low unit weight which reduces settlement. LCC is increasingly being considered as a backfill behind Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls and embankments. Although engineers are using LCC in MSE walls or free face walls (MSE wall without the concrete panels or reinforcements), there is presently a lack of information regarding the performance and behavior of LCC to guide them. This research attempts to answer questions on the design of MSE walls backfilled with LCC and free face LCC walls by providing a well-documented case history and evaluating if LCC can be modeled as a c-ϕ material. A steel frame test box (10 ft wide x 12 ft long x 10 ft high) with a MSE wall on one side was constructed for the research. The box was filled with four lifts of LCC with steel ribbed-strip reinforcements extending into the LCC behind the MSE wall panels at the center of each lift. After the LCC was cured, two static load tests were performed by applying a surcharge load to the surface of the LCC. In one test, surcharge pressure was applied adjacent to the MSE wall to produce failure of the wall system. In a second test, the surcharge pressure was placed adjacent to a free face of the LCC to produce failure. String potentiometers (string pots), load cells, pressure plates, and strain gages were used to measure the behavior of the MSE wall and free face wall during testing. These two tests provided a comparison between LCC behavior with a MSE wall relative to a LCC free face. Failure of the free face wall with unreinforced LCC backfill in this test can be predicted using Rankine’s lateral force equation using a c-ϕ model. Failure angle at the base of the free face wall was between 51-63° which corresponds with an average friction angle (ϕ) of 24° and cohesion (c) of 1575 psf with an upper bound ϕ = 34° and a c = 1285 psf. The presence of reinforcements in the LCC backfill behind the MSE wall increased the capacity of the wall to hold a surcharge load. The presence of reinforcements in the LCC behind MSE walls also led to a much more ductile surcharge pressure vs. lateral deflection curve for the MSE wall compared to the free face wall.

Monte-Carlo calculations are used to simulate the stochastic effects of fast neutron-induced chemical changes in the radiolysis of the ferrous sulfate (Fricke) dosimeter. To study the dependence of the yield of ferric ions, G(Fe[superscript 3+]), on fast neutron energy, we have simulated, at 25 [degree centigrade], the oxidation of ferrous ions in aerated aqueous 0.4 M H[subscript 2]SO[subscript 4] (pH 0.46) solutions when subjected to ~0.5-10 MeV incident neutrons, as a function of time up to ~50 s. The radiation effects due to fast neutrons are estimated on the basis of track segment (or"escape") yields calculated for the first four recoil protons with appropriate weighting according to the energy deposited by each of these protons. For example, a 0.8-MeV neutron generates recoil protons of 0.505, 0.186, 0.069, and 0.025 MeV, with linear energy transfer (LET) values of ~41, 69, 82, and 62 keV/[micro]m, respectively. In doing so, we consider that further recoils make only a negligible contribution to radiation processes. Our results show that the radiolysis of dilute aqueous solutions by fast neutrons produces smaller radical yields and larger molecular yields (relative to the corresponding yields for the radiolysis of water by [superscript 60]Co [gamma]-rays or fast electrons) due to the high LET associated to fast neutrons. The effect of recoil ions of oxygen, which is also taken into account in the calculations, is shown to decrease G(Fe[superscript 3+]) by about 10%. Our calculated values of G(Fe[superscript 3+]) are found to increase slightly with increasing neutron energy over the energy range covered in this study, in good agreement with available experimental data. We have also simulated the effect of temperature on the G(Fe[superscript 3+]) values in the fast neutron radiolysis of the Fricke dosimeter from 25 to 300 [degree centigrade]. Our results show an increase of G(Fe[superscript 3+]) with increasing temperature, which is readily explained by an increase in the yields of free radicals and a decrease in those of molecular products. For 0.8-MeV incident neutrons (the only case for which experimental data are available in the literature), there is a ~23% increase in G(Fe[superscript 3+]) on going from 25 to 300 [degree centigrade]. Although these results are in reasonable agreement with experiment, more experimental data, in particular for different incident neutron energies, would be needed to test more rigorously our Fe[superscript 3+] ion yield results at elevated temperatures.

Autoclaved sand aerated concrete is a modern building material with high thermal insulation properties. Only sand is used as the primary silicate component of aerated concrete in the Czech Republic. For the more favourable economic and ecological properties of aerated concrete, the use of secondary raw materials is used in this work. The secondary raw materials examined included fluidized bed and fly ash, slag and glass recycled. The aerated concrete composite with secondary admixtures was developed under hydrothermal conditions of a laboratory autoclave for 7 and 12 hours at 190°C. From the secondary raw materials tested, a 10% glass recycler additive yielded the highest strength. Other additives that have a positive effect on mechanical properties include SAKO and Oslavany. From the results of the work it is evident that the use of secondary raw materials increases the strength, improves the rheology of the mixture and supports the formation of tobermorite.

Autoclaved aerated concrete is a used building material, especially for its thermal insulating properties. During autoclaving, an aerated concrete microstructure produces crystalline CSH phases, primarily tobermorite. The ingoing substances are calcium oxide and silica. In addition to commonly used raw materials, secondary raw materials rich in silicon dioxide can be used for production. The use of secondary raw materials gives the opportunity for the construction industry to be more environmentally friendly. Another benefit is the reduction of financial costs. The work explores the influence of individual secondary raw materials on the microstructure. High-temperature fly ash, fluid fly ash, cinder, ground glass and zeolite were used The raw materials were mixed with unalloyed lime at a molar ratio of calcium oxide to silicon dioxide of 0.73 and 1.0. Autoclaving capsules were used to synthesize tobermorite under laboratory conditions. Autoclave was performed at 170 °C and 190 °C with hydrothermal durations of 4, 8 and 16 hours. The most important influence on the microstructure was high-temperature fly ash, on the contrary, the greatest influence on the mechanical properties is attributed to the ground glass.
