Abstract

This study investigated the electromechanical response of smart ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concretes (S-UHPFRCs) under flexural loading to evaluate the self-sensing capacity of S-UHPFRCs in both tension and compression region. The electrical resistivity of S-UHPFRCs under flexural continuously changed even after first cracking due to the deflection-hardening behavior of S-UHPFRCs with the appearance of multiple microcracks. As the equivalent bending stress increased, the electrical resistivity of S-UHPFRCs decreased from 976.57 to 514.05 kΩ(47.0%) as the equivalent bending stress increased in compression region, and that did from 979.61 to 682.28 kΩ(30.4%) in tension region. The stress sensitivity coefficient of S-UHPFRCs in compression and tension region was 1.709 and 1.098 %/MPa, respectively. And, the deflection sensitivity coefficient of S-UHPFRCs in compression region(30.06 %/mm) was higher than that in tension region(19.72 %/mm). The initial deflection sensing capacity of S-UHPFRCs was almost 50% of each deflection sensitivity coefficient, and it was confirmed that it has an excellent sensing capacity for the initial deflection. Although both stress- and deflection-sensing capacity of S-UHPFRCs under flexural were higher in compression region than in tension region, S-UHPFRCs are sufficient as a self-sensing material to be applied to the construction field.

본 연구에서는 smart ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concretes (S-UHPFRCs)의 자기감지 능력을 검증하기 위해 인장과 압축 영역에서 휨 하중에 따른 S-UHPFRCs의 전기역학적 거동을 조사하였다. 휨 하중 하에서 S-UHPFRCs의 전기저항률은 초기균열 이후 다수의 미세균열을 보이는 변형-경화 거동으로 인해 계속해서 변화된다. 압축 영역에서 S-UHPFRCs의 전기저항률은 등가 휨 응력이 증가함에 따라 976.57에서 514.05 kΩ-cm로 (47.00%) 감소하였으며, 인장 영역에서는 979.61에서 682.28 kΩ-cm로 (30.40%) 감소하였다. S-UHPFRCs의 응력 민감도 계수는 압축 영역과 인장 영역이 각각 1.709와 1.098 %/MPa이다. S-UHPFRCs의 처짐 감지 능력은 압축 영역 (30.06 %/mm)이 인장 영역 (19.72 %/mm)보다 높았다. 초기 처짐 감지 능력은 측정 영역과 관계없이 처짐 감지 능력의 약 50%로 초기 처짐에 대한 우수한 감지 능력을 가지는 것으로 확인되었다. 휨 하중 하에서 S-UHPFRCs의 자기감지 능력은 압축 영역에서 더 높았으나 S-UHPFRCs는 건설 현장에 적용할 자기 감지 재료로 충분하다.
