Abstract

This study was performed to prove the possibility of utilizing short plastic fibers made for recycled polyethylene terephthalate (RPET) as a structural material. In order to verify the capacity of RPET fiber, it was compared with polypropylene (PP) fiber, most widely used short synthetic fiber, for fiber volume fraction of 0%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1.0%. To measure material properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, appropriate tests were performed. Also, to measure the strength and ductility capacities of reinforced concrete (RC) member casted with RPET fiber added concrete, flexural test was performed on RC beams. The results showed that compressive strength decreased, as fiber volume fraction increased. These trends are similarly observed in the tests of PP fiber added concrete specimens. Split cylinder tensile strength of RPET fiber reinforced concrete increased slightly as fiber volume fraction increased. For structural member performance, ultimate strength, relative ductility and energy absorption of RPET added RC beam are significantly larger than OPC specimen. Also, the results showed that ultimate flexural strength and ductility both increased, as fiber volume fraction increased. These trends are similarly observed in the tests of PP fiber added concrete specimens. The study results indicate that RPET fiber can be used as an effective additional reinforcing material in concrete members.

본 연구에서는 재활용된 폴리에틸렌 테레프탈레이트(polyethylene terephthalate; PET)로 만든 플라스틱 단섬유의 구조재료로서의 사용 가능성을 조사하였다. 성능을 검증하기 위해서 가장 널리 상용되는 합성섬유인 폴리프로필렌(polypropylene; PP) 섬유와 비교하였으며, 섬유의 혼입률을 0%, 0.5%, 0.75%, 1.0%로 변화시켜 혼입률에 따른 영향을 함께 검토하였다. 실험으로는 압축강도, 쪼갬인장강도 등의 재료 특성과 재생 PET(recycled PET fibers; RPET) 섬유가 혼입된 RC 부재에서의 극한성능과 연성을 평가하기 위해 RC보의 휨 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 압축강도는 섬유의 혼입량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였으나, 기존 PP섬유와 유사하였다. 반면 쪼갬인장강도는 약간 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 구조 부재에 적용하였을 경우에는 RPET을 혼입한 RC 보의 극한강도, 상대 연성비, 에너지 흡수능력이 OPC 시편에 비해 확연히 증가되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 극한 휨강도와 연성비가 증가하는 현상은 PP 섬유를 혼입한 콘크리트에서도 유사하게 나타났다. 따라서 RPET 섬유는 콘크리트 부재의 보강섬유로 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.
