Abstract

Mechanical properties and neutron shielding performance of concrete with amorphous boron steel fiber have been investigated in this study. The measurement of this investigation includes air contents, slump loss, compressive strength, flexural strength, flexural toughness and neutron shielding rate. Four different fiber volume fractions were selected ranging from 0.25% to 1.0% by volume for the amorphous boron steel fibers. The testing results showed that the flexural toughness and the neutron shielding rate were increase with the increase of volume fraction for amorphous boron steel fiber. Based on the result, it is concluded that the concrete with the amorphous boron steel fiber can be effectively applied to shield the neutron and to improve mechanical properties.

본 연구에서 비정질 붕소강 섬유를 혼입한 콘크리트의 역학적 성능 및 중성자 차폐성능을 평가하였다. 비정질 붕소강 섬유를 콘크리트 체적 대비 0.25%에서 1.0%까지 혼입하여 굳지 않은 콘크리트의 공기량과 슬럼프값, 경화된 콘크리트의 압축강도, 휨강도, 휨인성 및 중성자 차폐성능을 평가하였다. 실험결과, 비정질 붕소강 섬유의 혼입량이 증가할수록 콘크리트의 휨인성 및 중성자 차폐성능이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 비정질 붕소강 섬유의 혼입이 중성자 차폐성능 뿐만 아니라 역학적 성능을 효과적으로 개선시켜 줄 것이라고 기대된다.
