Abstract

In this paper, the effect of freezing-thawing action on the dynamic modulus and porosity was examined by ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) measurement. UPV was measured every 30 cycles during the freezing-thawing test, and dynamic modulus and porosity of cement mortar were calculated by relationship among UPV, porosity and dynamic modulus. Porosity analysis was also performed to compare with calculated porosity by mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP). From the test, it was found that dynamic modulus of cement mortar was decreased 13% after 300 cycles. The calculated porosity was increased about 30% compared with the initial porosity before freezing-thawing action. The calculated porosity showed similar increase tendency with the porosity measured by MIP. So, it can be concluded that the porosity change of cementitious materials by freezing-thawing action can be predicted by UPV measurement.

본 연구에서는 초음파 속도 측정 실험을 이용하여 동결 융해 작용을 받는 시멘트 모르타르의 동탄성 계수 및 공극 구조 변화를 평가하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 초음파 속도는 동결융해 시험 중 매 30cycle마다 시편을 꺼낸 후 측정하였으며, MIP를 이용한 porosity 분석도 수행하였다. 초음파 속도 측정 결과를 이용하여 동탄성계수를 계산한 결과 300cycle 이후 약 13%가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. porosity는 초기에 대비해서 약 30%가량 증가하였으며, 초음파 속도 측정으로부터 계산된 porosity는 MIP를 통해 측정한 porosity와 약 5~30% 차이를 보였지만 유사한 증가 경향을 보이는 것으로 확인되었다. 이를 통해 초음파 속도 측정 결과를 이용하여 시멘트 모르타르의 porosity 변화를 예측하는 것은 타당한 방법으로 볼 수 있으며, 이를 이용하여 확산계수 등 내구성 평가 지수를 예측할 수 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
