Abstract

This paper was conducted to evaluate the durability of cement mortars exposed to varying concentrations of sodium sulfate for up to 540 days. Three types of cement mortars, namely OPC, SRC and SGC, were exposed to four sodium sulfate solutions with concentrations of 4225, 8450, 16900 and 33800 ppm of ${SO_4}^{2-}$ ions at ambient temperature. The sulfate deterioration was evaluated by measuring compressive strength and linear expansion of mortar specimens. Experimental results indicated that the maximum deterioration was noted in OPC mortar specimens in highly concentrated sulfate solution. In particular, the $C_3A$ content in cements plays a critical role in resisting expansion due to sodium sulfate attack. Additionally, the beneficial effect of GGBS was clearly observed showing a superior resistance against sodium sulfate attack, because of its lower permeability. Another important observation was that the parameters for the evaluation of deterioration degree are greatly dependent on the products formed by sulfate attack.

본 연구는 농도조건을 달리한 시험용액에 침지한 모르타르의 내구성을 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 3종류 시멘트 모르타르를 제조한 후, ${SO_4}^{2-}$ 이온의 농도가 4225, 8450, 16900 및 33800 ppm인 4종류 황산나트륨 용액에 540일간 침지하였으며, 침지재령별 압축강도 및 선형팽창을 측정하므로써 모르타르의 황산염침식 저항성을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 실험결과에 의하면, 고농도 황산나트륨 용액에 침지한 모르타르 공시체가 가장 심한 성능저하 현상을 나타내었다. 특히, 고농도 환경에서 모르타르의 팽창 특성은 사용된 시멘트의 $C_3A$량과 직접적인 관련이 있었으며, GGBS를 대체한 SGC 모르타르는 조직구조의 투수성이 상대적으로 낮은 탓으로 인하여 시험용액의 농도조건에 관계없이 우수한 황산염침식 저항성을 나타내었다.
