A Study on the Strength Estimation of Concrete Using Microwave

마이크로파를 이용한 콘크리트 강도추정에 관한 연구

Concrete is to be important quality in placement point and exact test method needed about early judgement method concrete on placement point. But early judgement method of concrete proposed various kind of method because the problems of accuracy and the time required of test exists, it is used within the limits. This study is to propose of early strength judgement by using microwave for accurate estimating early strength of concrete and to develop test machine. Through out this study we find that belows. 1) Strength development of concrete specimen according to the time heated by microwave showed the height strength development in 9 minutes regardless of slump and w/c. 2) As cooling time is long, strength of concrete specimen according to the time heated by microwave showed high strength development and this tendency is like regardless of heating time, w/c and slump. 3) As w/c is high, accelerating strength development according to w/c showed lower strength development and this tendency is like regardless of slump, heating time and cooling time. 4) As slump is big, compressive strength of specimen in standard curing showed lower value and as w/c is big, strength development showed lower
