The first science flight of the balloon-borne \Sunrise telescope took place in June 2009 from ESRANGE (near Kiruna/Sweden) to Somerset Island northern Canada. We describe scientific aims and mission concept project give an overview a description various hardware components: 1-m main with its postfocus instruments (the UV filter imager SuFI imaging vector magnetograph IMaX) support (image stabilizing light distribution system ISLiD correlating wavefront sensor CWS), optomechanical structure...
A thorough characterization of base materials is the prerequisite for further research. In this paper, data reference (CEM I 42.5 R, limestone powder, calcined clay and a mixture these three components) used in second funding phase priority program 2005 German Research Foundation (DFG SPP 2005) are presented under aspects chemical mineralogical composition as well physical properties. The were collected based on tests performed by up to eleven research groups involved cooperative program.
Abstract This paper presents the results of an interlaboratory study rheological properties cement paste and ultrasound gel as reference substance. The goal was to quantify comparability reproducibility measurements Bingham parameters yield stress plastic viscosity when measured on one specific composition particular in different laboratories using rheometers measurement geometries. procedures for both preparing carrying out were carefully defined all study’s participants. Different...
Supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) can reduce the total amount of Portland cement clinker in concrete production. Rice husk ashes (RHA) be converted from an agricultural by-product to a high-performance constituent due high reactive silica with pozzolanic properties if they are burnt under controlled conditions. The way and duration combustion, cooling process as well temperature have effect on form thus, chemical physical performance RHA. Various studies best combustion technique...
Urban regions in sub-Saharan Africa are growing significantly more rapid than their also rural counterparts. However, the employment perspectives areas decreasing, and thus urban growth can become a driver for enhanced livelihoods areas. Since urbanisation requires high amount of concrete, conversion agricultural waste materials to sustainable concrete constituents does not only create new income possibilities, it help Africa's construction industry spearhead green technologies, reduce...
A thorough characterization of starting materials is the precondition for further research, especially cement, which contains various phases and presents quite a complex material fundamental scientific investigation. In paper at hand, data reference cement CEM I 42.5 R used within priority program 2005 German Research Foundation (DFG SPP 2005) are presented from aspects chemical mineralogical compositions as well physical properties. The were collected based on tests conducted by nine...
NMR is becoming increasingly popular for the investigation of building materials as it a non-invasive technology that does not require any sample preparation nor causes damage to material. Depending on specific application can offer insights into properties like porosity and spatial saturation degree well pore structure. Moreover enables determination moisture transport (re-)distribution internal different reservoirs or chemical phases upon curing. However, yet most investigations were...
Africa is urgently in need of adequate basic infrastructure and housing, it one the continents where massive construction activities are on rise. There a vast variety potentially viable resources for sustainable continents, consequently, continent can bring innovative, greener technologies based local sources effectively into practice. However, unlike established concrete constituents from industrialised countries global North, most innovation potentials African have not yet been focus...
In Europe a multi-national research project was initiated entitled “Rational Production and Improved Working Environment through Using Self-Compacting Concrete”, followed by another “Testing SCC”, which helped spreading the benefits of SCC to wide range appliers. This also basis widely accepted European guideline on Self compacted concrete published by industry association bibm, CEMBUREAU, EFCA, EFNARC, ERMCO, again builds European standards for testing (EN 12350, Parts 8 12) as well...
