Estimation of Compressive Strength of the Fly Ash Substitution Cement Mortar by Equivalent age

등가재령 방법에 의한 플라이애시를 치환한 시멘트 모르타르의 강도 증진 해석

This paper is to present the strength estimation of the cement mortar incorporating 20% of fly ash by equivalent age method. ASTM C 1074 was applied to achieve apparent activation energy($E_a$). Cement mortar was cured at the temperature of $5^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C$ respectively to measure the setting time and compressive strength at designed age. According to test results, it is found that an increase in curing temperature resulted in an acceleration of setting time. $E_a$ was achieved to 34.75 KJ/mol. It was also found that by estimating strength development with Plowman and Gompertz model, good agreement between calculated value and measured one was achieved.

본 연구에서는 플라이애시를 치환한 시멘트 모르터의 양생온도에 따른 강도증진을 검토하기 위하여 등가재령방법에 의한 강도증진해석을 실시하였다. 플라이애시를 30% 치환한 시멘트모르터의 겉보기활성화에너지를 ASTM C 1074 방법에 의하여 산정한 결과 34.75KJ/mol로 산정되었고, 이를 토대로 Plowman 모델과 Gompertz 모델을 이용하여 해석한 결과 해석치가 측정치를 양호하게 추정함을 알 수 있었고 특히 Gompertz 모델식이 보다 양호한 추정 정밀도를 갖는 것으로 확인되었다.
