Abstract

The exothermic property of electrical conductivity concrete would allow the heating system of house or snow melting system of tunnel, road or bridge deck. This study was performed on electric resistance, exothermic property and mechanical property of the mortar with graphite of carbon-based conductive material as a fundamental research for the heat conductive concrete development. As the results of this experiment, the increasement on the amorphous graphite substitution rate was found to decrease in the compressive strength, however, the electric resistance was found to be significantly lower. And, in order to demonstrate the exothermic property, the graphite was found to be included more than 15% of the total mortar volume. When low electric resistance obtained with a certain level of the graphite inclusion, exothermic value and applied voltage has a higher correlation, and the exothermic value and the square of the voltage appeared to be in a proportional relationship.

콘크리트에 전기전도성을 부여하여 확보한 발열 성능을 통해 주택의 난방이나 터널, 도로 또는 교량 상판에 눈녹이는 것이 가능하다. 본 연구는 전기전도 발열 콘크리트 개발을 위한 선행 연구로써 탄소계 전도성 재료인 흑연을 치환한 모르타르의 역학적 특성과 함께 전기저항 및 발열 특성에 대한 실험을 실시한 후 다음과 결과를 얻었다. 토상 흑연 치환율이 증가할수록 압축강도는 감소하는 것으로 나타났으나 전기 저항은 크게 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 발열특성을 보이기 위해서는 흑연의 혼입이 모르타르 전체 체적의 15%이상 이루어져야 하는 것으로 나타났다. 흑연의 혼입이 일정수준이상 이루어져 낮은 전기저항 및 발열특성을 확보한 경우에는 작용하는 전압과 발열량은 높은 상관관계를 가지며 전압의 제곱과 발열온도는 비례관계에 있는 것으로 나타났다.
