Abstract

The study investigates the effects of the type, replacement ratio and method of use of mineral admixtures on the fluidity, bleeding ratio, volumetric change and compressive strength of the grout in order to provide basic data for the development of high-quality grout for PSC bridges. In view of the results relative to the type and replacement ratio of the mineral admixtures, it appears that fly ash has practically no effect on the improvement of the fluidity nor on the reduction of bleeding and shrinkage of the grout. On the contrary, blast furnace slag and silica fume appear to have significant effect on the improvement of the fluidity or on the reduction of bleeding and shrinkage of the grout. With regard to the combined use of mineral admixtures, the combination of fly ash and blast furnace slag provides satisfactory fluidity but with significant increase of bleeding and shrinkage, whereas the combination of blast furnace slag and silica fume reduces bleeding and shrinkage but with large loss of the fluidity. On the other hand, the combination of fly ash and silica fume results in satisfactory fluidity accompanied with fair reduction of bleeding and shrinkage of the grout. In view of these results, the type, replacement ratio and method of use of the mineral admixtures are seen to influence the fluidity, bleeding and volumetric change of the grout. Accordingly, it is necessary to select the mineral admixtures considering these effects for their exploitation in the grout of PSC bridges.

본 연구에서는 PSC 교량용 고품질 그라우트를 개발하기 위한 기초 자료로 활용하기 위해 그라우트의 결합재로 광물질 혼화재의 종류, 치환율 및 사용방법이 유동성, 블리딩률, 체적변화 및 압축강도에 미치는 영향에 대해 검토하였다. 광물질 혼화재 종류와 치환율에 대해 검토한 결과, 플라이애시는 유동성을 향상시키나, 블리딩과 수축 저감에 효과가 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 반대로 고로슬래그와 실리카퓸은 유동성을 저하시키나 블리딩과 수축 저감에 효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 광물질 혼화재를 조합사용한 경우에 대해 검토한 결과, 플라이애시와 고로슬래그를 조합사용한 경우 유동성은 양호하나, 블리딩과 수축이 크게 증가하고, 고로슬래그와 실리카퓸을 조합사용한 경우에는 블리딩과 수축이 감소하나, 유동성이 크게 저하되는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 비해 플라이애시와 실리카퓸을 조합사용한 그라우트는 유동성이 양호하고, 블리딩과 수축 저감에도 효과적으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로부터 광물질 혼화재의 종류, 치환율 및 사용방법에 따라 그라우트의 유동성, 블리딩과 체적변화에 미치는 영향이 다른 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 PSC용 그라우트에 광물질 혼화재를 사용하기 위해서는 이런 영향을 고려하여 선정할 필요가 있는 것으로 판단된다.
