Abstract

This study discussed the influence of mixtures and curing conditions on the development of strength and microstructure of RPC using ternary pozzolanic materials. Through pilot experiment, various RPC was manufactured by adding single or mixed ternary pozzolanic materials such as silica fume, blast furnace slag and fly ash by mass of cement, up to 0~65%, and cured by using 4 types of method which are water and air-dried curing at $20^{\circ}C$, steam and hot-water curing at $90^{\circ}C$. The results show that the use of ternary pozzolanic materials and a suitable curing method are an effective method for improving development of strength and microstructure of RPC. The unit volume of cement was greatly reduced in RPC with ternary pozzolanic materials and unlike hydration reaction in cement, the pozzolanic reaction noticeably contributes to a reduction in hydration heat and dry shrinkage. A considerable improvement was found in the flexural strength of RPC using ternary pozzolanic materials, and then the utilization of a structural member subjected to bending was expected. The X-ray diffractometer (XRD) analysis and Scanning Electronic Microscope (SEM) revealed that the microstructure of RPC was denser by using the ternary pozzolanic materials than the original RPC containing silica fume only.

반응성 분체 콘크리트(RPC)는 월등히 뛰어난 기계적 성능을 바탕으로 최근의 건설 환경 변화에 적절히 대응할 수 있는 차세대 건설재료로서 기대를 모으고 있지만, 이에 대한 국내에서의 연구는 매우 부족한 실정이다. 특히 유럽에서 개발된 RPC는 단위시멘트량이 매우 높거나 반응성 분체로서 국내에서는 전량 수입에 의존하고 있는 고가의 실리카퓸(silica fume)을 다량 사용하고 있다. 때문에 국내 실정에 맞는 실용적인 RPC의 개발에 관한 다양한 연구가 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 기존 RPC의 성능 범위 내에서 단위시멘트량의 감소와 실리카퓸의 대체재로서 고로슬래그분말이나 플라이애쉬의 사용 등을 검토하기 위하여 다양한 양생방법에 따른 3성분계 포졸란재(고로슬래그, 플라이애쉬, 실리카퓸) 혼입 RPC의 강도발현 및 미세구조 특성을 분석 평가하였다. 시험 결과는 3성분계 포졸란재의 적절한 혼합사용과 최적 양생방법의 적용이 RPC의 강도발현 및 미세구조 개선에 매우 효과적임을 잘 보여주었다.
