  abstract  = {The reduction of the cement clinker content is an important prerequisite for the improvement of the CO2-footprint of concrete. Nevertheless, the durability of such concretes must be sufficient to guarantee a satisfactory service life of structures. Salt frost scaling resistance is a critical factor in this regard, as it is often diminished at increased clinker substitution rates. Furthermore, only insufficient long-term experience for such concretes exists. A high salt frost scaling resistance thus cannot be achieved by applying only descriptive criteria, such as the concrete composition. It is therefore to be expected, that in the long term a performance based service life prediction will replace the descriptive concept. To achieve the important goal of clinker reduction for concretes also in cold and temperate climates it is important to understand the underlying mechanisms for salt frost scaling. However, conflicting damage theories dominate the current State of the Art. It was consequently derived as the goal of this thesis to evaluate existing damage theories and to examine them experimentally. It was found that only two theories have the potential to describe the salt frost attack satisfactorily - the glue spall theory and the cryogenic suction theory. The glue spall theory attributes the surface scaling to the interaction of an external ice layer with the concrete surface. Only when moderate amounts of deicing salt are present in the test solution the resulting mechanical properties of the ice can cause scaling. However, the results in this thesis indicate that severe scaling also occurs at deicing salt levels, at which the ice is much too soft to damage concrete. Thus, the inability of the glue spall theory to account for all aspects of salt frost scaling was shown. The cryogenic suction theory is based on the eutectic behavior of salt solutions, which consist of two phases - water ice and liquid brine - between the freezing point and the eutectic temperature. The liquid brine acts as an additional moisture reservoir, which facilitates the growth of ice lenses in the surface layer of the concrete. The experiments in this thesis confirmed, that the ice formation in hardened cement paste increases due to the suction of brine at sub-zero temperatures. The extent of additional ice formation was influenced mainly by the porosity and by the chloride binding capacity of the hardened cement paste. Consequently, the cryogenic suction theory plausibly describes the actual generation of scaling, but it has to be expanded by some crucial aspects to represent the salt frost scaling attack completely. The most important aspect is the intensive saturation process, which is ascribed to the so-called micro ice lens pump. Therefore a combined damage theory was proposed, which considers multiple saturation processes. Important aspects of this combined theory were confirmed experimentally. As a result, the combined damage theory constitutes a good basis to understand the salt frost scaling attack on concrete on a fundamental level. Furthermore, a new approach was identified, to account for the reduced salt frost scaling resistance of concretes with reduced clinker content.},

  abstract  = {Bei einem markt{\"u}blichen Calciumsulfat-Fließestrich wurden in der Praxis sch{\"a}digende Volu-menexpansionen festgestellt. Diese sind ein Resultat aus dem Zusammenwirken des einge-setzten Bindemittel-Compounds und einer kritischen Gesteinsk{\"o}rnung. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, ein Calciumsulfat-Bindemittelsystem zu konfektionieren, welches in der Lage ist, die im M{\"o}rtel festgestellten Volumenexpansionen zu unterbinden. Es sollen verschiedene Bindemittel- und Additivzusammensetzungen untersucht werden, welche in Verbindung mit der kritischen Gesteinsk{\"o}rnung die Herstellung eines volumenstabilen Fließestrichs erm{\"o}glichen. Dazu soll folgende Fragestellung beantwortet werden: Welche Ursachen hat die Volumenzunahme und wie ist diese zu minimieren bzw. unterbinden? Dabei werden unterschiedliche Bindemittelrezepturen aus α-Halbhydrat, Thermoanhydrit und Naturanhydrit, sowie verschiedene Additivzusammensetzungen hergestellt und untersucht. Durch L{\"a}ngen{\"a}nderungsmessungen in der Schwindrinne werden die Einfl{\"u}sse der Binde-mittel, der Additivzusammensetzungen und der Wasser/Bindemittel-Werte auf das L{\"a}n-gen{\"a}nderungsverhalten untersucht. Mittels Variation der einzelnen Compound-Bestandteile kann festgestellt werden, dass der Stabilisierer die L{\"a}ngen{\"a}nderung negativ beeinflusst. Dieser bindet freies Wasser, welches f{\"u}r eine Reaktion zwischen Bindemittel und Gesteins-k{\"o}rnung im plastischen Zustand nicht mehr zur Verf{\"u}gung steht. Diese Reaktion kann folglich erst im erh{\"a}rteten Zustand ablaufen und verursacht die sch{\"a}digende Volumenexpansion. Abschließend wurde ein Bindemittel-Compound konfektioniert, welcher ohne Zusatz von Stabilisierern in Zusammenhang mit der kritischen Gesteinsk{\"o}rnung volumenstabil ist und keine Sch{\"a}den ausl{\"o}st.},
