This study was performed to clarify the formation procedure of continuous voids in cellular concrete, and to examine the effect of a foaming agent on the manufacture of cellular concrete with continuous voids. By the experiments, it was determined that cellular concrete to be formed with continuous voids is influenced by temperature, viscosity and flowability of cement paste, and stability of air voids, and is formed in accordance with cohesion of air voids. It was also found that separate voids are formed at an added amount of air voids corresponding to 2 ％ or less of the amount of cement, whereas an antifoaming phenomenon occurs when the added amount of air voids exceeds 9 ％ of the amount of cement. In products with respective cement fineness of 3,000, 6,000, and 8,000㎠/g, a higher compressive strength was exhibited at a higher cement fineness. The continuous void ratio depending on a variation in fineness was 38 ％, 52 ％, and 22 ％ in those products, respectively. That is, a highest continuous void ratio was exhibited at a cement fineness of 6,000㎠/g. When the water-cement ratio was reduced from 45％ to 25％, the compressive strength of the cellular concrete was increased from 15 kgf/㎠ to 20 kgf/㎠ Thus, the reduction in water-cement ratio was effective in achieving an increase in strength without any variation in the specific gravity of the cellular concrete.

본 연구에서는 경량혼합토 배합설계변수인 원료토의 중량, 함수비 및 기포재와 첨가할 물의 양, 그리고 강도를 발현하기 위하여 필요한 고화재로서 시멘트첨가량에 대한 최적의 배합설계에 대한 분석을 하였다. 분석을 위해 폐타이어가루와 왕겨를 각각 혼합한 경량혼합토의 압축강도를 비교 분석하였다. 왕겨혼합토는 함유량 3%에서 최대강도가 발현되는 반면 폐타이어혼합토의 경우 함유량 6%에서 최대강도를 보여주었다. 현장에서 설계기준을 만족하기 위한 시멘트비와 폐성분을 적절히 혼합하면 합리적이고 경제적인 배합비를 산출할 수 있다.

This study was performed to manufacture a rigid sound absorbing material by increasing the continuous void ratio of cellular concrete, thereby achieving an increase in sound absorption ratio and an enhancement in strength of the cellular concrete. By the experiments, it was determined that an increase in sound absorption ratio is achieved by increasing the added amount of air voids, thereby increasing the continuous void ratio. When the material had a thickness of 5 cm, a satisfactory average sound absorption ratio of 70% was obtained at a continuous void ratio of 40% or more. An increase in the thickness of the sound absorbing material resulted in an increase in sound absorption ratio in a super bass range. The specific gravity of cellular concrete meeting an average sound absorption ratio of 70% was 0.4 at a material thickness of 5 cm, and 0.6 or less at a material thickness of 7 cm. The compressive strength of the cellular concrete having a specific gravity of 0.4 meeting an average sound absorption ratio of 70% or more was 1.37 Mpa at a cement fineness of 3,000. This compressive strength was increased to 3.34 MPa at a cement fineness of 8,000. Accordingly, it was determined that the compressive strength of cellular concrete having continuous voids increases with a higher cement fineness.

최근 국내에서 연약지반개량을 위하여 적극 도입되기 시작한 차세대 지반처리기술인 경량혼합토공법의 배합설계에 대한 고찰을 하였다. 경량혼합토는 건설잔토나 준설토 및 현장에서 발생하는 점토나 실트질 흙을 사토처리 하지 않고 현장에서 유용할 수 있는 매우 경제적이고 환경적인 공법으로서 일본에서는 지난 10여년에 연간 수백만톤의 경량혼합토를 생산하여 건설현장에 적용한 실적을 보유하고 있다. 특히 폐자원(폐타이어가루, 왕겨)을 경량혼합토에 첨가하여 건설재료 재활용을 위한 역학적 실험을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 경량혼합토를 제작하기 위해 필요한 배합설계변수인 원료토의 중량, 함수비 및 기포재와 첨가할 물의 양, 그리고 강도를 발현하기 위하여 필요한 고화재로서 시멘트첨가량에 대한 최적의 배합설계에 대한 분석을 하였다. 지금까지 제안된 시멘트함유량은 초기의 경량혼합토 목표강도가 주어지면 원료토의 조건에 따라 원하는 비중과 강도를 토대로 적절하게 현장에 적합하게 결정하는 단계에 있으나 일부 현장에서 지나친 목표강도 설정으로 과대한 시멘트를 사용하는 사례가 많아 국가적으로 막대한 손실을 초래하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 경량혼합토의 목표강도을 분석하고 그에 따른 최적의 시멘트함유량을 제시하고자 한다.

Lightweight soils are very economical and environment friendly materials that are valuable in field without wasting construction materials, dredged soils and clay/ silty soils during construction. Recently, the research of lightweight soils mixed with recycled material (recycled tire powder, rice husks) have been investigated. In this study the mix design factors (i.e., weight of soil, water content, foaming agent and added water) were analyzed and optimized mix design was suggested using cement content for revealing strength. For the analysis the stress-strain behavior, strength with respect to time, and experimental strength for the component of recycled material were analyzed. Finally, target strength was determined to calculate reasonable and economical mix ratio and the optimized cement content was suggested.
