Abstract

For a slag-cement-bentonite (slag-CB) cut-off wall, GGBS replaces a part of the cement mixed to build a CB cut-off wall, which is used to block the flow and leakage of pollutants or groundwater; prevent seawater infiltration; and repair or reinforcement an aged embankments. Slag-CB cut-off walls are used in various applications in different fields where groundwater control is required due to its excellent characteristics. Such properties include high strength, low permeability, high durability and chemical resistance. However, despite these advantages, slag-CB cut-off walls are not extensively studied in Korea and thus are not applied in many cases. Particularly, GGBS, which replaces cement in a mixture, has different properties depending on its country of production. Consequently, it is necessary to perform various studies on slag-CB cut-off walls that use GGBS produced in Korea in order to increase its usability. This study has evaluated the bleeding rate, setting time, strength, and permeability in relation to the cement replacement rate of GGBS produced in Korea for slag-CB cut-off walls, with the aim to increase its usability. The evaluation found that slag-CB cut-off walls, made of a mixture containing GGBS produced in Korea, have a lower bleeding rate and permeability, and higher strengththan CB cut-off walls. It was also analyzed that such improved performance is more effective with a higher cement replacement rate of GGBS.

오염물질이나 지하수의 흐름 및 유출의 차단, 해수 침투 방지 및 노후화된 제체의 보수·보강 등을 목적으로 활용되는 Cement-Bentonite 차수벽에 혼합되는 시멘트 일부를 GGBS로 치환하여 사용하는 Slag-Cement-Bentonite 차수벽은 높은 강도와 낮은 투수계수, 우수한 내구성 및 내화학성 등의 여러 장점으로 지하수 제어가 필요한 여러분야에서 다양하게 활용되고 있다. 그러나 이와같은 장점에도 불구하고 국내에서는 Slag-CB 차수벽에 대한 다양한 연구가 이루어지지 않아 적용사례가 많지 않으며, 특히, 시멘트를 대체하여 혼합되는 GGBS는 생산되는 국가에 따라 성질이 상이하여 국내 Slag-CB 차수벽의 활용성을 높이기 위해서는 국내에서 생산되는 GGBS를 활용한 Slag-CB 차수벽에 대한 다양한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Slag-CB 차수벽의 활용성을 향상시키기 위해 국내에서 생산되는 GGBS를 혼합한 Slag-CB 차수벽의 GGBS 치환율에 따른 블리딩율, 응결시간, 강도 및 차수성 등을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 국내에서 생산된 GGBS를 혼합한 Slag-CB 차수벽은 CB 차수벽에 비해 낮은 블리딩율과 우수한 강도 및 차수성을 보였으며, 이러한 성능향상은 GGBS 치환율이 높을수록 더욱 효과적인 것으로 분석되었다.
