LMC(Latex Modified Concrete) 교면포장에서의 소성수축 균열발생 특성

Properties of Plastic Shrinkage Crack Occurrence on The LMC Bridge Deck Overlays

Plastic shrinkage cracking is a major concern for concrete, especially for flat structures as highway pavement, bridge deck slabs, and bridge deck pavement. LMC(Latex Modified Concrete) be used mainly for bridge deck overlays, so occurrence possibility of plastic shrinkage cracking is very high. But LMC is form a close-packed layer of polymer particles in very early time from the time of adds the latex and water. So plastic shrinkage cracking compare with normal concrete is not occur at final setting time. Results indicates that LMC is advantage to prevent occurrence of plastic shrinkage crack and it's possible co construction for bridge deck overlay effectively.
