Abstract

Sprayable waterproofing membrane has been considered as a substitute for a sheet waterproofing membrane in a variety of underground excavation works. However, fundamental properties of sprayble waterproofing membrane have not been fully given yet. In this study, a new two-component sprayable waterproofing membrane prototype was developed. In addition, its physico-mechanical properties were measured and compared with those of two kinds of thin spray-on liners where constitutive materials and construction methods are very close to each other. From direct tensile tests, the sprayable waterproofing membrane with elongations at break between 250% and 300% showed much higher ductility than TSLs. However, the sprayable waterproofing membrane had a limitation as a support member since its bond strength and loading capacity was lower than those of TSLs. From three-dimensional X-ray CT images, the porosity of the sprayable waterproofing membrane was estimated to be 26.13%. However, most of pores which might have been generated during membrane curing were not observed to be interconnected but isolated.

뿜칠 방수 멤브레인은 다양한 지하 굴착 현장에서 종래의 시트 방수 멤브레인을 대체할 수 있는 방수 재료로 고려되고 있다. 하지만 아직까지 뿜칠 방수 멤브레인의 특성들에 대한 기초적인 연구가 매우 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 새롭게 제작된 액상과 분말의 2성분 뿜칠 방수 멤브레인 시작품에 대한 물리적 역학적 특성들을 측정하였다. 또한 구성재료와 시공방법인 유사한 박층 뿜칠 라이너와 뿜칠 방수 멤브레인의 특성들을 비교하였다. 분석 결과, 뿜칠 방수 멤브레인의 신장율은 약 250~300%로서 TSL과 비교할 때 상대적으로 매우 큰 연성을 나타내었다. 하지만 뿜칠 방수 멤브레인의 부착강도와 지지력은 박층 뿜칠 라이너보다 다소 낮게 측정되어 지보재로서의 적용에는 한계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 3차원 X-ray CT 촬영에 의한 뿜칠 방수 멤브레인의 공극률은 26.13%로 분석되었으나, 대부분의 공극들은 양생 과정 중에 형성된 것으로서 서로 연결되어 있지는 않고 개별적으로 존재하는 것으로 나타났다.
