SSCS 2015 - Numerical Modeling Strategies for Sustainable Concrete Structures

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

14-16 December 2015

Cement is the main constituent of the most widely used building material and will continue to be largely used in the years to come. Its production generates CO₂ emissions.

It is, thus, of primary importance to optimize the use of this cement in the concrete structures, while checking that these structures have lifespan compatible with the stakes of the sustainable development To take up this challenge, it is essential to use adapted tools of quantification making it possible to justify, in a rigorous and reliable way, the strategic and technical choices adopted.

The numerical methods (finite elements, finite volumes, finite differences ...} constitute a relevant response to this challenge. They potentially allow, due to a best taken into account of the rheological, physico-chemical, and mechanical concrete properties, and of thermo-hydro mechanics and environmental boundary conditions on the structures, to optimize these structures (optimization with respect to time, money, safety, energy, CC>2 emissions, and, more generally, life cycle), in a way more reliable than the codes and analytical approaches currently used.

The control of the concretes placing in the formworks, their durability, their cracking, their shrinkages, and their creeps, with respect to the sustainable development (evaluation of CO2 emissions, for example) constitute, therefore, the principal topics of this international conference.

The objective is to join together researchers, engineers, architects, urbanists, industrials and owners, to exchange and reflect on the use of these numerical tools and their contribution with respect to the current stakes of sustainable development.Following SSCS'2012 in Aix-en-Provence it was decided to organize the second Conference SSCS'2015 in Rio de Janeiro/Brazil. For this second conference we have decided to organize the presentations as following: each day a series of invited presentations in a plenary section during the morning and the beginning of the afternoon followed by submitted papers in parallel sections. This organization has been chosen to privilege the scientific and technical discussions.

I.5. Chemical aging (chemical reactions and transfers) I.6. Coupling Problems
I.7 Durability

II. Structural applications and Sustainability

II.1. Bridges
II.2. Buildings

Taller Internacional

"De la Microestructura al Diseño por Vida Util"

Buenos Aires, Argentina

2-5 de Novembre de 2015

Los organizadores están convencidos de que afrontar con éxito el tema de diseño y evaluación de vida útil requiere una sólida comprensión de la microestructura del hormigón (especialmente de su fase continua, la pasta de cemento endurecida) y de los mecanismos de penetración de agentes agresivos a través del material. De ahí el título y contenido del Taller que se ofrece, que estará focalizado en el caso principal y más difundido de deterioro de estructuras de hormigón armado: la corrosión del acero de refuerzo.

Una parte de las lecciones cubren los aspectos químicos y físicos que definen la microestructura del hormigón, así como los principales mecanismos de penetración y flujo de sustancias nocivas a través de la intrincada red de poros del material.

Se discuten también los principios de corrosión del acero en el hormigón, expuesto a ambientes ricos en CO₂ y cloruros, así como las condiciones necesarias para que la corrosión se inicie y propague.

Se tratarán las tendencias actuales de los cuerpos normativos de moverse del enfoque prescriptivo a uno prestacional. Como ello requiere ensayos adecuados (tanto de laboratorio como de campo), se describirán detalladamente los métodos normalizados existentes, señalando sus fortalezas y debilidades y guiando hacia la correcta interpretación de sus resultados. Además, los participantes dispondrán de un día para realizar esos ensayos con sus propias manos o para presenciar sus etapas críticas.

Finalmente se tratará el tema clave de pronóstico de vida útil, describiendo varios métodos disponibles y analizando su precisión y sensibilidad a los datos de entrada.  Con el objeto de reforzar la comprensión de los métodos seleccionados, los participantes desarrollarán grupalmente casos de estudio, con el apoyo de los profesores, con una discusión final de los resultados obtenidos.

Se espera que, al finalizar el Taller, los participantes saldrán con una base sólida para enfrentar los desafíos de diseñar la vida útil de nuevas estructuras y/o evaluar la de estructuras existentes.

Durability of concrete

Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, Facultad de Ingeniería Civil, Monterrey, Mexico

From 23 August 2014 to 28 August 2014

Theme: 

The concern about concrete durability is far from new. Concrete from ancient Rome is known to contain ox blood, apparently to pass on the strength and endurance of the ox to the final structure.

Modern concrete technology has identified a number of damage mechanisms that can take place depending on concrete environment and concrete quality – damage mechanisms which every year necessitate massive investments in rehabilitation and repair. However, constantly ongoing research refines our theoretical knowledge about why deterioration takes place, models for prediction of deterioration are improved, and new measures to prevent deterioration processes appear and extend the service life of concrete structures. This course brings you up-to-date on this important area.

Course contents:

The course will cover several important challenges of concrete durability, such as:

• Chloride ingress
• Carbonation
• Corrosion
• Alkali-silica reaction (ASR)
• Sulphate attack

The course consists of lectures, written exercises and hands-on laboratory exercises and a poster competition. Social activities during the course are planned to promote a stimulating study atmosphere among the participants.

Lecturers

• R. Doug Hooton, University of Toronto, Canada.
• O. Mejlhede Jensen, Danmarks Tekniske Universitet, Denmark.
• K. Kovler, Israel Institute of Technology (TECHNION), Israel.
• Lars-Olof Nilsson, Lunds Universitet, Sweden.
• T. Luping, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden.
• K. Scrivener, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland.
• W. Jason Weiss, Purdue University, USA.
• Alejandro Durán-Herrera, Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL), Mexico.

Seminario Iberoamericano sobreDiseño Prestacional paraDurabilidad de Estructuras deHormigón Armado

La Plata, Argentina 28 y 29 de octubre de 2013

FUNDAMENTO

El hormigón armado es un material compuesto conformado por una matriz de hormigón de cemento y refuerzos de barras de acero. La adherencia entre ambos materiales le da integridad y la protección al acero frente al ambiente exterior, presuponiendo una determinada vida en servicio.

Las propiedades requeridas al hormigón armado están vinculadas con las características de la estructura a la cual está destinado y su emplazamiento. En lo que respecta a la durabilidad, puede decirse que la misma es la capacidad del material para resistir hasta cierto punto los efectos de las condiciones ambientales de servicio a que esta sujeto.

Existen diversas causas posibles de patología en una estructura de hormigón armado. Entre ellas se encuentran la corrosión, ya sea por ingreso de cloruro o por carbonatación, el ataque por sulfato, la reacción álcali-agregado, lixiviación, ataques ácidos. Asimismo, existen circunstancias que pueden favorecer estos ataques.

El diseño prestacional para durabilidad de estructuras de hormigón armado se diferencia de los métodos de diseño prescriptivo para durabilidad principalmente en lo relacionado a la conceptualización de los mecanismos de deterioro. El enfoque prescriptivo implica procedimientos indicados para asegurar la durabilidad frente a un agresivo en particular. En este caso, se considera en forma muy simple a los mecanismos de deterioro y se apoya en datos de investigaciones tecnológicas y experiencias de obras en servicio. El resultado de su aplicación resulta satisfactorio, aunque pueden producirse desviaciones importantes del resultado predicho. De esta forma, este enfoque no permite el cálculo de un período de vida útil en servicio.

La redefinición ingenieril de la durabilidad establecida está orientada al diseño prestacional, e implica la consideración de la durabilidad en forma explícita, en base a requisitos de funcionamiento con un esquema similar a los del diseño por cargas.

Contenido

En la Ingeniería Civil, el hormigón armado con acero es el material compuesto más importante de los que tienen uso estructural. Otro material compuesto, éste de desarrollo relativamente reciente, es el hormigón reforzado con elementos textiles (TRC por sus iniciales en inglés) en el que tejidos o entramados multi-axiales se usan en hormigón preparado con agregados pétreos finos. Esto permite el diseño de piezas de hormigón muy delgadas, de alta resistencia a la compresión así como a la tracción. El TRC está siendo utilizado de modo creciente en fachadas, encofrados integrados, elementos sandwich, cáscaras, dispositivos de sellado, ampliaciones de edificios existentes y aún en la construcción de puentes. Además de los usos mencionados, el TRC es adecuado para el refuerzo de estructuras existentes, aumentando su capacidad portante.

La conferencia será dictada en idioma inglés, con traducción al español.
