Abstract

In order to reduce carbon dioxide emission in construction industry, less amount of cement use can be one of the alternatives to manufacture concrete. One of the non-sintered construction materials are limestone, which is the raw material to manufacture ordinary Portland cement(OPC). A large amount of limestone have already been used as binders such as blended cement in Europe and US. Even European countries were already established the standard of blended cement, where the limestone can be used up to 35 percent. In this study, experimental researches were conducted to investigate the effects of limestone replacement on the mechanical properties and durability of concrete with 15%, 25% and 35% of limestone substitution to use limestone in blended cement. 15 percent use of limestone in blended cement developed equivalent or even higher compressive strengths compared to Plain mixture. Porosity of limestone cement with 15 percent substitution was much lower than Plain mixture. Most durability tests such as concrete carbonation, freeze-thaw cycle and drying shrinkage strains were conducted to evaluate long-term performance, and the test results indicated that 15 percent of limestone use did not significantly influence on the concrete durability compared with plain concrete.

전 세계 적으로 이산화탄소 배출 저감을 위한 노력으로 시멘트 산업에서는 비소성 결합재인 석회석을 시멘트에 첨가하여 콘크리트를 제조하고 있다. 특히, 유럽에서는 석회석을 시멘트의 35%까지 치환하여 사용하기도 한다. 국내에서는 2013년에 KS L 5201을 개정하여 석회석을 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트에 5%까지 혼합하여 사용할 수 있도록 하였으며, 아직 석회석 혼합 시멘트에 대한 규격은 전무한 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 비소성 결합재인 석회석을 활용하여, 석회석 혼입량에 따른 콘크리트의 역학적 특성 및 내구특성에 대한 영향을 살펴보았다.
