A Experimental Study on the Strength Improvement of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag Concrete Using Recycled Aggregate Powder as Alkali-activator

Accordingly, this study, in order to use powder of recycled aggregate from production of recycled aggregate as an activator of ground granulated blast furnace slag, the influence of added recycled aggregate powder on physical properties of concrete induced ground granulated blast furnace slag were analyzed by hydration stages. The results of the study are summarized as follows: Except for samples eluted powder of recycled aggregate 1%, all the samples were high alkali suspensions with higher than pH 12.0. In particular, when eluted time was 5 hours, the sample eluted powder of recycled aggregate 3% showed about 15 mg/l of calcium hydroxide that was not different from the amount of calcium hydroxide in the mixing water eluted powder of recycled aggregate 5%. Hence, from this results, it can be considered that optimal eluted powder of recycled aggregate was 3% in this study. When using mixing water eluted with powder of recycled aggregate, compared to use of ordinary mixing water, it showed greater compressive strength in the entire ages, and in the sample replaced with ground granulated blast furnace slag by 50%, its compressive strength was greater than that of the OPC. As use of mixing water eluted with powder of recycled aggregate in concrete used with large amount of ground granulated blast furnace slag was more effective for improving compressive strength than ordinary mixing water, it is verified that powder of recycled aggregate had an effect of activator.

순환골재 미분말을 알칼리 자극제로 활용한 고로슬래그 미분말 혼입 콘크리트의 강도증진에 관한 실험적 연구

본 연구에서는 순환골재 생산시 발생되는 미분말을 고로슬래그 미분말의 알칼리 자극제로 활용하기 위해 배합수에 일부 혼입하여 강알칼리성을 띄게 한 후, 고로슬래그 미분말을 단계별로 치환한 콘크리트의 물리적 특성에 미치는 영향을 종합적으로 분석하였다. 그 결과 순환골재 미분말의 침지시간이 5시간일 때 전 시험편에서 가장 높은 pH가 측정되어 알칼리 자극제로서 활용가능성이 가장 높은 침지 시간임을 확인할 수 있었으며, 순환골재 미분말을 3% 혼입시킨 시험배합수가 1% 혼입시킨 배합수에 비하여 약 15mg/l이상의 $Ca(OH)_2$을 더 함유한 것으로 나타내었다. 순환골재 미분말을 혼입시킨 배합수를 사용한 경우 일반배합수를 사용한 경우와 비교하여 전 재령에서 강도발현이 더 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 조기재령과 장기재령 모두 순환골재 미분말의 알칼리 자극효과가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
