Abstract

The aim of this study was to produce polymer cement composites (PCCs) composed of polymer dispersion and cement as crack repair materials for RC structures, and to investigate their fundamental properties. The test mixtures for the study were based on EVA and SAE polymer dispersions, and the water-cement ratio was determined while varying the polymer-cement ratio(P/C) in four different levels (20%, 60%, 80%, and 100%) to achieve the desired viscosity of PCCs considering their fillability as crack repair materials. Additionally, silica fume was incorporated into P/C 80% and 100% specimens to enhance their stiffness. The basic properties of PCCs as crack repair materials, such as viscosity, flowability, fillability, tensile strength, elongation, and modulus of elasticity, were examined. The results showed that P/C depending on the type of polymer significantly affected the viscosity and flowability, and appropriate w/c ratios were needed to achieve the desired viscosity for the mixture design with consideration of fillability as crack repair materials for RC structures. All designed mixtures in this study exhibited excellent fillability. The tensile strength and elongation of PCCs satisfied the KS regulation for cement- polymer modified waterproofing coatings. The incorporation of silica fume improved the tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of PCCs. Depending on the type of polymer, mixtures using SAE showed better fundamental properties as crack repair materials for RC structures compared to those using EVA. In conclusion, SAE-based P/C 80% or 100% with the addition of up to 30% silica fume can be recommended as suitable mixtures for crack repair of RC structures.

본 연구는 RC 구조물의 균열보수를 위한 보수재로서 폴리머 디스퍼전과 시멘트만으로 구성된 폴리머 시멘트 복합체 (polymer cement Composites ; PCCs)를 제작하여 실험적으로 기초물성을 파악하고자 하였다. 연구를 위한 시험배합은 EVA 및 SAE 폴리머 디스퍼전을 기반으로 보수재의 충전성을 고려하여 폴리머 시멘트비를 4가지(20, 60, 80 및 100%)로 변환시키면서 물시멘트비를 정해 PCCs의 점도를 결정하였다. 또한 PCCs의 강성을 개선시키기 위하여 P/C 80%와 100%에 실리카퓸을 혼입한 시험편도 제작하였다. PCCs의 균열보수용으로서의 점도, 유동성, 충전성, 인장강도, 신장률 및 탄성계수 등 기초적 물성을 실험하였다. 연구결과, 폴리머의 종류에 따라 P/C는 점도와 유동성에 큰 영향을 미쳤으며 RC 구조물의 균열보수용으로서 충전성을 고려한 적절한 점도를 맞춘 배합설계를 위해 상당한 가수가 필요하였다. 본 연구에서 설계한 모든 배합은 충전성이 우수하였으며, PCCs의 인장강도와 신장률은 시멘트 혼입 폴리머계 방수재에 대한 KS 규정을 만족하였다. 또한 실리카퓸을 혼입함으로써 PCCs의 인장강도와 탄성계수가 개선되었으며, 폴리머 종류에 따라서는 SAE를 사용한 경우가 EVA를 사용한 경우에 비해 RC 구조물 균열 보수재로서 우수한 기초적인 물성을 나타냈다. 본 연구결과를 종합하면, RC 구조물의 균열보수용으로 SAE를 사용한 P/C 80% 또는 100%와 실리카퓸 30%까지 혼입한 배합을 적절한 배합으로 제안할 수 있었다.
