Abstract

New thermal crack control system for mass concrete was developed to increase quality and to save construction period and cost. The principle of this system is that the curing water having proper temperature is supplied automatically to the surface of mass concrete member to keep the temperature difference between center and surface of concrete less than generally recommended temperature difference ($20^{\circ}C$). Mock-up test was conducted to investigate the validity of newly developed curing system. As a result, no crack was founded in the specimen using automated curing system developed in this study, while many cracks occurred in another specimen without automated curing system. It was also confirmed that the strength and the durability of the concrete cured by automated curing system were improved.

이 연구에서는 기존의 수화열저감 공법에서 문제가 되었던 시공성, 공기, 공사비용 등의 효율성을 높이기 위해 새로운 매스 콘크리트의 온도균열 발생 저감시스템을 개발하였다. 이 시스템은 매스 콘크리트에 발생하는 온도균열을 제어하기 위해서 타설 예정 매스 콘크리트 구조체 중심부와 표면부에 온도센서를 매립한 후 콘크리트를 타설하고, 온도제어시스템을 통해 내 외부 온도차이가 균열제어 기준 온도를 초과하면 온도차를 그 이하가 될 수 있도록 자동으로 구조체 표면에 적정온도의 양생수를 공급하여 온도균열 발생을 제어하는 양생 자동화 시스템이다. 이 시스템의 타당성을 검토하기 위해서 mock-up 테스트를 실시하였으며, 이 시스템의 우수성을 확인할 수 있었다.
