Abstract

This paper discusses a series of experiments including material improvement in order to ensure quality of grouting for the post-tensioned structure. In presstressed concrete, grouting refers to the construction procedure of filling empty space of duct enclosing the prestress tendons using cementitious material, To date, adequate quality control of the grouting has not been established in Korea because the relationship between the grouting and durability of post-tensioned structure is not well-recognized. The Korean standard does not consider the important material characteristic, wick effect, which is caused by tendons in the ducts, and furthermore current standard testing method does not quantify reasonable material segregation. As a result, the grout material, which satisfies the current material standards, may well exhibit excessive bleeding of water or shrinkage during construction. In this study, international codes and standards related to grouting were surveyed. The mix proportions of the constituents and novel admixtures were suggested to meet equivalently with these standards. Performance of this enhanced grout was compared with common domestic grouts using the international standard testing method. A series of mock-up specimens considering geometry of PC beam was constructed and grout flow pattern was observed as the grout was injected. It was observed that the grouting performance was highly influenced by material properties and filling characteristic can be varied depending on geometry of ducts.

이 논문에서는 포스트텐션 구조물에 적용되는 그라우팅 품질확보를 위한 재료개선 및 실험과정을 기술하였다. 그라우팅이란 강연선이 삽입된 덕트를 시멘트물질로 채우는 공정이다. 국내에서는 아직 그라우팅의 품질과 포스트텐션 구조물의 내구성에 대한 관계가 인식되지 않아 적절한 품질관리에 어려움이 있다. 국내표준시험법은 강연선에 의한 심지효과(wick effect)를 고려하지 않기 때문에 시공 시 발생할 수 있는 재료분리량을 평가하기 어렵다. 따라서 현 품질기준을 만족하는 그라우트를 사용하더라도, 시공 시 과다한 불리딩 수나 재료수축이 발생할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 그라우트에 관련된 해외기준과 표준시험법을 조사하여 국내기준 및 표준시험법과 비교한 후 해외기준에 준하는 성능을 나타낼 수 있는 그라우트 구성성분비 및 혼화제를 제시하여 보았다. 개선된 그라우트의 성능을 해외표준시험법에 따라 일반적으로 적용되고 있는 그라우트재와 비교하였으며 PC빔의 덕트형상을 고려한 목업시험을 통하여 흐름유형(flow pattern) 및 충전성능을 관찰하였다. 이 실험을 통하여 그라우팅의 성능은 재료특성에 의하여 높은 영향을 받으며 적용 대상의 기하학적 형상에 따라 상이한 충전특성을 가진다는 것 알 수 있었다.
