Relative Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity Comparison of the Eco-friendly Lightweight Concreate According to the Experimental Method

시험방법에 따른 친환경 경량콘크리트의 상대동탄성 계수 비교

We developed eco-friendly lightweight concrete in order to apply eco-friendly lightweight concrete into structural wall or slab of shallow depth urban railway system. However, since lightweight aggregate has different structural feature of porous and it has been overvalued at current KS standard when applied, we did compare the characteristics of freezing and thawing of normal weight aggregate concrete by comparative test method(KS, ASTM). According to test method, there was a big difference of dynamic elastic modulus in lightweight concrete rather than in normal weight aggregate concrete. The big absorption factor in lightweight aggregate is main reason for that. For more detail, in KS law in which only 14 days water curing is carried out, the big amount of moisture in lightweight aggregate is frozen and high heaving pressure occurs and finally that lead to destruction of lightweight concrete. Therefore, it is considered that in case of lightweight concrete, resistibility against freezing and thawing has been undervalued in domestic KS law compared to ASTM law, which is overseas standard. So, a variety of examination about testing criteria and rule would be necessary for exact assessment of lightweight concrete.
