Abstract

In recent times, the lack of good quality natural aggregate has led to the alternative use of recycled aggregate. However, the adhered mortars in recycled aggregate lower the performance of the concrete, such as by reducing its strength and causing deterioration and cracking. In this study, the effects of nylon fiber (NF) on the mechanical and durable performance of recycled coarse aggregate concrete (RAC) were experimentally examined. Concrete specimens with natural coarse aggregate (NA) or RA were produced by adding 0, 0.6 and $1.2kg/m^3$ of NF. Various mechanical properties and the durability of the RAC were measured and compared with those of the NAC. In addition, in order to observe the hydrates and ITZ, SEM observations were made of the 28-day concrete samples. From the test results, as expected, it was found that the RAC exhibited lower performance than the NAC. However, the addition of NF to the concrete was effective in significantly enhancing the performance of the RAC due to the bridge effect of the NF.

최근 양질의 천연골재의 부족으로 인하여 콘크리트용 순환골재의 적용성에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 그러나, 순환골재는 다량의 부착모르타르를 포함하고 있어 콘크리트의 강도감소, 내구성 저하, 균열발생의 원인이 되기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 순환 굵은골재 콘크리트의 역학적 성능 및 내구성에 대한 나일론 섬유의 영향에 대하여 실험적으로 고찰하였다. 섬유보강 순환골재 콘크리트 공시체를 제조하기 위하여 나일론 섬유를 0. 0.6 및 $1.2kg/m^3$의 3단계로 혼입하였으며, 콘크리트의 압축 및 쪼갬 인장강도, 흡수율, 투수공극량 및 총통과전하량을 측정하여 섬유보강 부순골재 콘크리트와 비교, 고찰하였다. 또, 수화생성물, 천이지대 등 미세조직구조를 관찰하기 위하여 재령 28일 콘크리트에 대하여 주사형전자현미경(SEM) 분석을 실시하였다. 본 실험에서 도출된 실험결과에 의하면, 순환골재 콘크리트는 부순골재 콘크리트에 비하여 성능이 떨어지는 것으로 나타났으나, 순환골재 콘크리트에 나일론 섬유를 혼입할 경우, 나일론 섬유의 가교작용으로 인하여 시멘트 매트릭스의 부착력을 증진시켜 콘크리트의 성능을 개선시키는 것으로 조사되었다.
