초록
This study investigates influence of organic fiber reinforced materials, affecting crack reduction of cement mortar using low grade natural sand(LNS). According to the test, for the properties of fresh mortar, the mortar using natural sand(NS) exhibited that flow value increased until adding most of fiber less than 1$\%$, except for Polyvinly alchol fiber(PVA), and then it decreased. Meanwhile, the mortar mixed with LNS showed that increase of fiber content decrease flow value, regardless of fiber type. Air content increased in the mortar adding nylon fiber(NY) and polypropylene fiber(PP), while it maintained or decreased in the mortar adding cellulose fiber(CL) and PVA. Compressive strength of the mortar does not affect during early age, but mortar using NS and adding 0.1$\%$ of fiber content increased the value, except for PP, at 28 age days, while the mortar mixed with LNS decreased. For the properties of tensile strength, mortar, using NS and adding individually PP and PVA, exhibited higher value. Especially 0.1$\%$ of NY provided the highest value. In addition, the mortar mixed with LNS resulted in improved tensile value as fiber content increased. It is demonstrated that mortar using LNS led to higher length change ratio than natural sand.
