Long-Term Durability Estimation of Cementless Concrete Based on Alkali Activated Slag

It has been well known that concrete structures exposed to chloride and sulfate attack environments lead to significant deterioration in their durability due to chloride ion and sulfate ion attack. The purpose of this experimental research is to evaluate the long-term durability against chloride ion and sulfate attack of the alkali activated cementless concrete replacing the cement with ground granulated blast furnace slag. For this purpose, the cementless concrete specimens were made for water-binder ratios of 40%, 45%, and 50%, respectively and then this specimens were cured in the water of $20{\pm}3^{\circ}C$ and immersed in fresh water, 10% sodium sulfate solution for 28, 91, 182, and 365 days, respectively. To evaluate the long-term durability to chloride ion and sulfate attack for the cementless concrete specimens, the diffusion coefficient for chloride ion and compressive strength ratio, mass change ratio, and length change ratio were measured according to the NT BUILD 492 and JSTM C 7401, respectively. It was observed from the test results that the resistance against chloride ion and sulfate attack of the cemetntless concrete were comparatively largely increased than those of OPC concrete irrespective of water-binder ratio.

알칼리 활성 슬래그 기반 무시멘트 콘크리트의 장기 내구성 평가

이 연구의 목적은 알칼리 활성 슬래그 기반 무시멘트 콘크리트의 염소이온 침투 및 황산염 침투 저항성과 같은 장기 내구성을 평가하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 물-결합재비에 따라 원주형 및 각주형의 무시멘트 콘크리트를 제작한 후, 이들에 대해서 재령 28일부터 365일까지 NT BUILD 492 및 JSTM C 7401 각각에 따라 장기 염소이온 침투 및 황산염 침투 저항성을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 무시멘트 콘크리트의 장기 염소이온 침투 및 황산염 침투 저항성은 물-결합재비에 관계 없이 OPC 콘크리트보다 크게 개선되는 것으로 나타나, 무시멘트 콘크리트의 장기 내구성은 매우 우수한 것으로 입증되었다.
