Abstract

In this study, synthetic fibers were applied to reduce shrinkage cracks that may occur in mortar produced by 3D printer. We used a biopolymer in powder form made from cactus stem (CS) as an admixture. The material properties of 3D printed mortar were experimentally evaluated. Replacing methylcellulose(MC) with 10% CS increases compressive strength by 9.84-23.92% regardless of the casting method. In addition, regardless of the casting method, shrinkage change, freeze-thaw resistance, and crack resistance are more effective than Plain. Incorporation of CS increases the polysaccharide macromolecular structure and improves durability. Mortars reinforced with synthetic fibers do not affect compressive strength and freeze-thaw. It is also effective for shrink deformation and crack resistance. Incorporating CS and fibers from 3D-printed mortar was found to be effective for durability and crack resistance.

3D 프링팅 출력물에서 발생할 수 있는 수축 균열을 저감하기 위해 합성섬유를 보강하고, 선인장의 줄기(cactus stem, CS)를 활용한 바이오 폴리머 혼화제를 혼입하여 제조한 3D 프린팅용 모르타르의 재료특성을 평가하였다. 셀룰로우즈계 혼화제 (methylcellulose, MC)의 대체재로 CS 10% 일부 치환할 경우, 타설방법과 상관없이 9.84~23.92% 압축강도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 타설방법과 상관없이 Plain 대비 수축변화, 동결융해, 균열 저항성이 개선됨을 나타냈다. 이는 CS를 일부 치환함으로써 다당류 폴리머 구조가 증가되어 내구성이 개선되는 것으로 판단된다. 섬유 배합의 경우, 섬유의 종류 및 혼입량이 압축강도와 동결융해에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 섬유 혼입에 의해 수축변화와 균열 저항성에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 종합적인 결과, 3D 프린팅 모르타르 배합시 MC 대신 CS 10% 일부 치환하고 섬유를 보강할 경우 섬유 종류 및 혼입량과 상관없이 내구성, 균열 저항성에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.
