Betone für Brückenkappen
Rissvermeidung und Frost-Tausalz-Widerstand
Breitenbücher, Rolf / Youn, Bou-Young
Von Brückenkappen wird in der Regel erwartet, dass zum einen Risse mit vergleichsweise geringer Bewehrung in ihrer Breite beschränkt werden können und zum anderen der Beton gleichzeitig den Einwirkungen entsprechend einen hohen Frost-Tausalz-Widerstand aufweist. Dies führt dazu, dass an Betone für Brückenkappen zwei mehr oder weniger einander entgegenlaufende Anforderungen gestellt werden: Für die Rissbreitenbeschränkung wird eine vergleichsweise niedrige Betonfestigkeit und damit ein relativ hoher Wasserzementwert angestrebt, hingegen soll dieser für einen ausreichenden Frost-Tausalz-Widerstand in der Regel niedrig sein. In diesem Spagat haben sich in den vergangenen Jahren immer wieder Schäden (meist Frostabwitterungen) gezeigt. Einschlägige Laboruntersuchungen an Kappenbetonen unter gezielter Variation betontechnischer sowie ausführungstechnischer Parameter zeigten, dass sowohl der Zement als auch der Wasserzementwert den Frost-Tausalz-Widerstand entscheidend beeinflussen.
Concretes for bridge decks
As a rule it is expected of bridge decks that not only can the width of cracks be restricted with comparatively little reinforcement but also that at the same time the concrete will exhibit a high resistance to freeze-thaw with de-icing salt. This means that concretes for bridge decks have to satisfy two demands that are more or less contradictory: limiting the crack width requires a comparatively low concrete strength, and therefore a relatively high water/cement ratio, while as a rule this should be low for adequate resistance to freeze-thaw with de-icing salt. In past years this balancing act has repeatedly led to damage (usually frost scaling). Relevant laboratory investigations on deck concretes with carefully controlled variation of concrete technology and implementation parameters have shown that both the cement and the water/cement ratio have a crucial influence on the resistance to freeze-thaw with de-icing salt. Not only the concrete technology but also the curing (type, time of application and duration) of the textured concrete surfaces are very important for avoiding cracks resulting from constrained deformation due to temperature changes and shrinkage.
