Abstract

The vulnerability of concrete to its environment is significantly dependent on the fact that concrete is a porous material. For well-consolidated and well-cured concrete, its service life is a very long and an entrance of aggressive substance might be only pores. However, for cracked concrete, cracks should be preferential channel for the penetration of aggressive substance such as chloride ions. The effect of crack on chloride penetration depends on its size for example, crack width and crack depth. The purpose of this study is examining the effect of crack width and crack depth on chloride penetration. In order to visualize chloride penetration via cracks, RCM (rapid chloride migration) testing is accomplished. Crack width is examined using an optical microscope and CMOD value is used to estimate average crack width. From the examination on the trend of chloride diffusion coefficients of concrete specimens with various crack widths, a critical crack width and a critical crack depth are found out.

다공질성 특성을 갖는 콘크리트는 충분한 다짐과 양생 조건에서 장수명을 갖으며, 유해 물질의 주요 경로는 공극이다. 그러나 균열이 발생한 콘크리트의 경우, 균열은 염소이온과 같은 유해 물질의 우선적인 침투 경로가 된다. 균열이 염소에 미치는 영향은 균열폭과 균열 깊이의 크기에 의존한다. 본 연구는 미세균열이 콘크리트의 염소이온 침투에 미치는 영향을 다룬 실험적 연구로서, 연구 목적은 균열폭과 균열 깊이 등의 균열 크기 효과가 염소이온에 미치는 영향을 고찰하는 것이다. 균열을 통한 염소이온의 침투를 시각화 하기 위하여, 급속 염소이온 침투 실험인 RCM (rapid chloride migration) 실험을 수행하였다. 균열폭과 균열 깊이는 전자 현미경으로 관찰하였고, 평균적인 균열폭을 산정하기 위하여 균열 개구 변위가 측정되었다. 다양한 균열 크기에 따른 염소이온의 침투 깊이 및 염소이온 확산계수의 변화율로부터 염소이온이 침투되지 않는 균열 깊이 및 이에 대응한 균열폭이 도출되었다.
