Abstract
The aim of the research is to evaluate the possibility of using coal gasification slag (CGS) as a combined aggregate for concrete mixture. To achieve this goal, the fundamental properties and the durability of concrete were analyzed depending on various combining ratio of CGS into both fine aggregate with favorable gradation and relatively coarse particles. According to the results of the experiment, slump and slump flow were increased with content of CGS regardless of crushed fine aggregate with good and poor gradations while the air content was decreased. For the compressive strength of the concrete, in the case of using the crushed aggregate with good gradation, increasing CGS content decreased compressive strength of the concrete, while when the concrete used crushed aggregate with poor gradation, the compressive strength was the maximum at 50% of CGS content. As a durability assessment, drying shrinkage was decreased and carbonation resistance was improved by increasing CGS content. On the other hand, for freeze-thawing resistance, CGS influenced adverse effect on freeze-thawing resistance. Therefore, it is known that an additional air entrainer is needed to increase the freeze-thawing resistance when CGS was used as a combined aggregate for concrete.
본 연구는 CGS를 콘크리트용 혼합골재로서 활용성을 검토하기 위하여 양호한 입도분포의 부순잔골재(CSa) 및 미립자인 해사와 굵은 입자의 부순잔골재를 혼합한 혼합골재(MS)에 CGS의 치환율 변화에 따른 콘크리트의 기초적 특성 및 내구성을 분석하였다. 실험결과, 슬럼프 및 슬럼프 플로는 CSa 및 MS 모두 CGS 치환율이 증가할수록 증가하였으며, 공기량은 반대로 감소하였다. 압축강도는 CSa를 사용한 경우 CGS 치환율이 증가할수록 저하하였지만, MS를 사용한 경우는 CGS 50 %에서 최대치를 나타내었다. 콘크리트 내구성을 검토한 결과로, 건조수축 및 탄산화 깊이측정의 경우는 CGS 치환율에 따라 양호한 성능을 나타내었다. 하지만, 내동해성에서는 전반적으로 CGS 치환율이 증가할수록 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, CGS를 치환 사용하는 혼합잔골재 콘크리트의 경우는 공기량 감소를 보완할 수 있도록 AE제 추가 투입 등의 대책을 수립한다면, 큰 문제 없을 것으로 판단된다.
