Abstract

Ultra high performance concrete is inevitably used in case of skyscraper and super long span bridge. In general, the flexural and the tensile strengths of concrete are lower than the compressive strength, so brittle cracks occur and energy absorption ability is lowered. In order to solve this problem, this study is intended to examine the effect of the steel fiber volume fraction and aspect ratio on the mechanical properties of ultra high performance concrete. In series I, 20-mm straight steel fiber was added with a volume fraction of 0, 1.0, 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0%. In series II, 16-mm steel fiber was added with a volume fraction of 0, 1, and 1.5%, and then mechanical properties were examined according to aspect ratio. In the results of experiment, a difference in compressive strength was insignificant. However, regarding the flexural strength and tensile strength, as the volume fraction and aspect ratio increased, flexural performance and tensile performance improved.

UHPC는 초고층 건물 및 초장대교의 경우 필연적으로 사용되어진다. 일반적으로 콘크리트는 압축강도보다 낮은 휨강도 및 인장강도를 가지므로 취성균열이 발생하여 에너지 흡수능력이 저하된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 강섬유의 혼입율과 형상비가 UHPC의 기계적 물성에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자한다. 시리즈 I에서, 20mm 직선형 강섬유가 0, 1.0, 1.3, 1.5 및 2.0%의 혼입율로 첨가되었다. 시리즈 II에서는 16mm 강섬유를 0, 1, 1.5%로 혼입한 후 형상비에 따라 역학적 성질을 조사하였다. 실험결과, 압축강도의 차이는 미비했다. 하지만 휨강도 및 인장강도와 관련하여 혼입율 및 형상비가 증가함에 따라 휨성능 및 인장성능이 개선되었다.
