Environmental Compatibility of Carbon Reinforced Concrete: Irrigated Construction Elements
To foster a sustainable deployment of the innovative composite material ‘carbon concrete composite’ in the building sector, it is necessary to ensure its resource efficiency and environmental compatibility. The Institute for Building Materials Research of the RWTH Aachen University is therefore investigating the leaching behavior of this material, especially for the case of irrigated façade elements. Laboratory and outdoor exposure tests are run to determine and assess the heavy metal and trace element emissions by leaching. Feasible interconnections between laboratory and outdoor examinations can be used to develop a faster testing of future composite materials. Current results show no critical release of environmental harmful substances from carbon concrete composite.
