Surface Properties of Exposed-Aggregate Concrete Depending on Retarder and Water Jet Washing Timing

Recently, a stone is preferred as a cladding materials because of its outstanding durability and luxurious character. However, because of running out of natural resources and restriction of production, it is expected that difficulty of stable supply, and thus alternative cladding materials for concrete wall is needed. Therefore, in this research, as an alternative cladding materials, exposed-aggregate concrete is studied using saccharin based retarder. For evaluating factors, changing water-to-cement ratio, dosages of saccharin-based retarder, and timing of water jet washing were tested on the surface properties of exposed-aggregate concrete. As a result, the most favorable surface performance was obtained at 0.75 day after the placing in 25% of water-to-cement ratio, and at one day after the placing in 35 and 55% of water-to-cement ratio, 1.5 day after the placing in 65% of water-to-cement ratio with $24m{\ell}/m^2$ of retarder application.

지연제 살포량과 물씻기 시간이 골재노출 콘크리트의 표면성상에 미치는 영향

본 연구는 콘크리트 마감재로써 골재노출 콘크리트를 개발하기 위한 일련의 실험이다. 실험변수로는 고강도 및 일반강도의 물-시멘트비별 당류계 지연제의 살포량 및 세척시기 변화가 물씻기 공법을 이용한 골재노출 콘크리트의 품질에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 물-시멘트비 25%는 세척시점 0.75일, 물-시멘트비 35%와 55%는 1일, 65%는 1.5일에 당류계 지연제를 $24m{\ell}/m^2$ 살포하였을 때 가장 효과적이며 양호한 골재 노출의 표면이 연출되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
