Abstract

Grouting is reinforcement or cutoff method which uses the hardening agent which is typically represented by portland cement and injected into the ground or the structure. When mixing the cement in powder form with water, the particles tend to cohere each other. Once they cohered, the particle size tends to become larger while injection efficiency becomes lower. This study, in a bid to reduce the cohesion of cement, the screen was set inside the grout mixer so that the cement particles are separated while vibrating them. To validate the effect of vibration screen, comparison test was conducted by using ordinary portland cement, slag cement and micro cement. Viscosity test, bleeding test and grain-size analysis indicated that the characteristics varied significantly after passing through the vibration filter. It is expected that the vibration filter installed inside the grout mixer will reduce the cement cohesion when mixing with water.

그라우팅 공법은 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트로 대표되는 경화재를 사용하여 지반 또는 구조물에 주입하여 보강 및 차수 등에 이용하는 공법이다. 분말 상태의 시멘트에 물을 혼합하여 교반 시키면 입자들이 응집하게 된다. 시멘트 입자들이 응집하게 되면 입자의 크기가 커져 미세한 균열에서 주입성이 낮아진다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 시멘트 입자의 응집성을 저감시키기 위해 그라우트 믹서 내부에 거름망을 설치하고 진동 발생시켜 통과하는 시멘트 입자가 분리되도록 하였다. 설치된 진동필터의 효과를 확인하기 위하여 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트, 슬래그 시멘트, 마이크로 시멘트를 각각 사용하여 비교시험을 수행하였다. 점도, 블리딩, 입도분석, 압축강도 시험을 통해 진동망을 통과하는 경우 그 특성이 현저하게 변화하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그라우트 믹서 내부에 진동필터를 설치하면 물과 교반 시 발생되는 응집현상을 감소시켜 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
