Basic Properties of Permeable Block mixed with Diatomite

규조토를 혼입한 투수블록의 기초특성

Recently, the danger of fine dust has emerged worldwide. In general, fine dust refers to particulate matter less than 10㎛ and ultrafine dust less than 2.5㎛, and according to the announcement by HEI (Health Impact Research Institute) in 2015, the concentration of ultrafine dust in Korea is the second highest among OECD member countries. It was investigated. In this study, an experiment was conducted to analyze how the diatomaceous earth substitution rate affects the strength characteristics of the permeable block. As the replacement rate of diatomaceous earth increased, the strength decreased. The reason why the strength decreases with the use of diatomaceous earth is that the strength of the hardened body decreases as the structure of the hardened body becomes less dense as the amount of diatomaceous earth increases, and the reason that the strength decreases as the replacement rate of diatomaceous earth increases is the reason for the absorption performance of diatomaceous earth. Therefore, it is judged that a void was generated inside the hardened body while water was absorbed and then evaporated or discharged in the matrix, and accordingly, the strength decreased.
