BitKOIN - CO2-reduced binding agent through thermochemical conversion of mineral wool waste combinations
In the BitKOIN project, conceptual, experimental and model research activities are conducted in order to develop a substitute material for ground-granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). First, mineral wool waste and other mineral residues, which are required as additives to achieve the desired chemistry, are sampled representatively. The materials are then characterized chemically, mineralogically and physically and are additionally classified according to waste regulations. By thermochemical conditioning of the mineral wool waste, combined with the other waste materials, the "Huettensand 2.0" (GGBS 2.0) is developed. The project aims to develop the "Huettensand 2.0" , a durable GGBS substitute.
CSR:H - Circular Social Residency Informationhub
CSR:H is developing an innovative prototype for the survey and evaluation of the potential for the subsequent use of the building stock of social housing developers. Development of an innovative tool that uses archive data to optimize the use of building materials/products after their first phase of use and the long-term planning and operational implementation in social housing. It combines early predictions of the strategic utilization of resources with post-use scenarios and take-back agreements.
CircularBioMat – Recyclable biogenic materials for building installations and supply equipment
As part of CircularBioMat, numerous bio‐based materials – including bio‐polymers reinforced with natural fibers as well as recycled materials – are being tested for their suitability as a replacement for the petroleum‐based polymers that dominate technical building installations (TGA) and supply equipment.
Earth movement: Clay - a climate- and resource-friendly building material
Manufacturing processes and transport of building materials are energy-intensive and cause high CO2emissions. In addition, many building materials pose a health and disposal problem due to their content of disruptive and harmful substances. Locally available clay can replace conventional materials if appropriately prepared and processed, and helps to save both manufacturing processes and transport routes.
NatMatSave30! – substitution of naturally mined raw materials to achieve material-footprint goals in 2030!
Blast furnace slag (BFS) is a waste product in a steel manufacturing process and is available regularly and in huge amounts. It should substitute naturally mined, mineral raw materials. This means also calcium carbonates, which are used in building industry and are responsible for ca. 50 % of the domestic material consumption of 167 Mio tons. By wet-milling BFS it’s oxides should be able to form calcium carbonate again by recarbonatisation with CO2 from the surrounding atmosphere.
RE-FORM earth - Earth Building for Building Sector Transformation
In order to promote the use of earth, the RE-FORM earth project is creating a planning basis for the construction of structures and buildings containing earth. In order to counter uncertainties regarding the health effects of earth building materials, a comprehensive program is being carried out to investigate radiation exposure and potential pollutants in earth. By erecting a temperature-controlled rammed earth wall in a test room with subsequent measurements, the aim is to determine the extent to which the material can contribute to healthy indoor air due to its moisture-regulating properties and help to balance out energy peaks.
RE:STOCK INDUSTRY - Digital framework for the circular reuse of existing structures for vertical production
RE:STOCK INDUSTRY is developing AI-based Scan-to-FEM methods, vertical 3D production concepts, and an interactive AR application for precise capturing, modelling, and analysis of industrial buildings' load-bearing structures. The aim is to determine the potential of the structure for reuse, modernization, and vertical expansion, considering aspects of circular economy.
Road-to-Road/ Verschränkung neuartiger Methoden zur effizienten „Road-to-Road“ Inwertsetzung von Altasphalt
The planned combination of experimental and model-based methods for assessing/describing the behavior of asphalt shall enable the goal-oriented optimization of the performance/durability of recycled asphalt, with the resulting positive effects (CO2 balance, transport distances, landfill volume) being quantified within the project.
