Abstract

Concrete exposed to severely low temperature below $-20^{\circ}C$ should be provided with proper heat supplying curing to protect the concrete from early frost damage at the time of pouring.meanwhile, so far, effective heat curingmethods of the concrete under severely low temperature are not well established in Korea. For this reason, the objective of this paper is to provide effective heat curingmethod of concrete exposed to severely low temperature to protect early frost damage by varying the combination of heat curingmaterial combinations. Temperature history,maturity development and core strength results are investigated. Fourmock-up specimens simulating slab, wall and column were prepared and heat insulation, heat supplying and both were applied. Test results indicate that the combination of quadruple layer bubble sheet(4BS) and embedding of heating cable has desirable performance for a slab, and heat supplying curing inside heat enclosure and heat generationmat also shows desirable performance for a wall, and for a column, use of EPS heat insulation has proper performance against early frost damage, which reaches $45^{\circ}D{\cdot}D$ and helps the concretemaintain above $0^{\circ}C$ within 3 days. Themethodsmentioned above are believed to be optimum protection from early frost damage of the concrete under $-20^{\circ}C$.

$-20^{\circ}C$이하의 극저온조건에서 타설되는 콘크리트는 초기동해 방지를 위해 적절한 급열을 포함한 보온양생이 이루어져야 하는데, 현재까지 국내에서 극저온조건의 효율적인 보온양생 방법이 제시된 경우가 드문 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 $-20^{\circ}C$의 극한조건에서 시공되는 콘크리트의 초기동해 방지를 위한 효율적인 보온양생방법을 제시하고자, 보온양생 재료의 조합 변화에 따른 콘크리트의 온도이력, 적산온도 및 코어강도 결과를 고찰하였다. 실험변수로서 보온양생방법 조합에 따라 기둥, 슬래브 및 벽체를 모사한 목업 시험체를 제작한 후, 단열, 가열 및 양자 병용방법을 적용하여 실험을 진행하였다. 연구결과에 따르면, 슬래브 부재의 경우 온도이력 및 적산온도 측정결과 4BS+열선조합, 벽체의 경우 가열양생+발열매트 그리고 기둥의 경우 EPS 단열재조합에서 3일 이내에 초기동해 방지에 요구되는 적산온도인 $45^{\circ}D{\cdot}D$를 상회하며 $0^{\circ}C$이하로 콘크리트 온도가 저하하지 않는 것으로 나타나 본 연구범위에서 최적의 조합으로 판단된다.
