매스콘크리트 구조물에서의 시멘트 수화열은 구조물의 균열을 발생시킬 만큼 큰 내부온도를 발생시킨다. 따라서 매스콘크리트 구조물에서의 설계와 시공단계에서 내부온도응력을 예측할 수 있다면 이와같은 균열로 인한 구조물의 피해를 예방할 수 있을 것이다. 그리고 수화열에 의한 온도증가는 타설초기에 발생하므로 크리이프에 의한 영향도 매우크다. 따라서 온도응력해석시 크리이프와 건조수축의 영향을 고려하는 것이 구조물의 안전성과 사용성을 정확히 파악하는데 필요하다. 본 연구는 먼저 매스콘크리트의 온도이력을 유한요소법에 의해 해석하고, 작용하중이나 온도이력을 크리이프와 건조수축영향을 고려하여 콘크리트 구조물의 응력과 변형을 유한요소법에 의해 계산하였다. 본 연구에서 온도이력 계산과 콘크리트구조물의 응력과 변형의 계산을 위해 작성한 프로그램 결과를 실제 구조물의 실험결과와 비교하였을 때 양호한 결과를 얻었다.

Recently, the massive concrete structures have been increasingly built in Korea. Many reinforced concrete structures have been reported to suffer from cracking in construction stages due to heat of hydration arising from mass concrete. This cracking may cause some serious durability problems and thus reduces the safety and service life of the structures. In this study, the stresses, strains, and temperatures were measured and the crack widths and crack Patterns were also observed in the footing and abutment structures. And the causes and mechanism in thermal cracking in the footing and abutment structures are thoroughly analysed. The comparisons of test results with analysis have been made. Efficient crack control techniques were developed form the experimental and analytical studies.

According to increase of massive concrete structures, Thermal crack done by heat of hydration have been increased in a process of the execution. In case of a subway concrete box structure, thickness of structures are almost over 1 meter, and penetrating crack by external restraint takes a bad effect on the durability with a water leakage and deterioration in especially concrete wall. A try of shortening a constructing period often occurs as subway is generally constructed according to a road to decrease a traffic jam. The research proposes executing method by skipping one block as a plan of shortening a constructing period and investigate an influence on thermal cracking control. Additionally, sensitivity analysis is accomplished by changing a height of a concrete wall, and concrete placing and air temperature met with a field condition.

In this research, considering the practical conditions at field, thermal cracking reducing method was suggested based on the comparative analysis between predicted value and actual value obtained from the actual structure member with optimum mix design. The optimum mix design was deduced from the various mix designs with various proportions of cementitious binder for upper and lower placement lifts of mat-foundation mass concrete. Therefore, before field applications, the mix designs were obtained from the theoretical analysis obtained by MIDAS GEN for upper lift was OPC to FA of 85 to 15, and for lower lift was OPC to FA to BS of 50 : 20 : 30. Based on this mix design, the actual concrete for field was determined and all concrete properties were reached within the predicted range. Especially, the temperature properties of mass concrete at core was approximately $39^{\circ}C$ of temperature difference for low-heat mix design, while approximately $54^{\circ}C$ was shown for normal mix design currently used. Additionally, in the case of cracking index, the low heat mix design showed about 1.4 of relatively high value while the normal mix design showed 1.0. Therefore, it can be stated that applying low heat mix design and different heating technique between upper and lower placement lifts for mass concrete are efficient to control the thermal cracking.

In this study, initial crack index was evaluated by FEM analysis to find the crack propagation from hydration heat in precast concrete. As results, as the usage of hardening accelerator increased, initial compressive strength increased and setting time was shortened. Additionally, as amounts of hardening accelerators increased, the central temperature of concrete increased and the time to reach the highest temperature was shortened. It was demonstrated that the hardening accelerators accelerated the hydration reaction of cement, and caused the increase of hydration heat within the short period of time. Furthermore, the crack index for evaluating the heat level was performed by FEM. As results, there was no problem about the cracks, despite of the growth of initial high hydration heat. This is because of the increased tensile strength that is large enough to sustain the thermally induced-stress.

최근 비약적인 경제발전에 힘입어 장대교량, 항만, 댐, 도로, 원자력 발전소 등과 같은 대규모 기간구조물의 건설이 증가하고 있으며, 구조물은 대형화 혹은 고강도화되는 추세에 있다. 특히, 전술한 구조물을 매스콘크리트로 가설하게 되면 초기재령시에 수화열로 인한 균열이 발생할 가능성이 매우 높기 때문에 효율적인 매스콘크리트의 개발과 매스콘크리트 구조물의 설계기술 및 시공방법이 중요한 연구대상으로 등장하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 가로 52.6m, 세로 14.4m, 높이 8.5m의 기계기초 매스콘크리트의 시공에 적합한 온도관리기법을 다음과 같은 단계로 제안하고자 한다. 먼저 온도상승요인을 최소화하는 콘크리트의 배합비를 산정한다. 산정된 콘크리트의 열특성을 측정하기 위해 단열온도실험을 수행하여 각종 열특성상수와 단열온도 상승곡선식을 도출한다. 이와 같은 열특성치를 콘크리트 구조체에 적용하여 열응력해석을 수행한다. 이와 같은 열응력해석을 통하여 구조물의 분할타설높이에 따라 온도균열이 발생하지 않는 콘크리트 내외부의 온도차를 결정한다. 이때 열응력해석에 범용 유한요소 프로그램인 Diana을 사용한다. 콘크리트의 타설은 현장조건과 타설시점을 최대로 고려하고 양생방법으로 콘크리트 내외부의 온도차를 최소화하기 위해 이중단열효과가 있는 거푸집과 가열장비을 사용한다. 또한 콘크리트의 온도관리를 위하여 구조물 내외부에 온도게이지를 매립하고 30분마다 계측을 수행하면서 콘크리트 내외부 온도차가 허용 해석범위를 유지하도록 한다. 양생기간은 7-10일 정도를 유지한다. 전술한 온도관리기법을 통하여 완공후 수평정밀도가 기초의 허용침하량으로 환산하여 $1{\mu}m$ 인 고정밀도의 기계기초는 완벽하게 시공되었다. 따라서 매스콘크리트의 온도균열을 제어할 수 있는 시공방법으로 제안한다. 또한 매스콘크리트의 내외부 온도차를 단열온도실험과 온도해석으로부터 정한 값이내로 제어하고 충분한 양생관리를 병행하면 수화열에 의한 콘크리트의 온도균열을 최소화할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

철근콘크리트 건물에 발생하는 균열은 그 원인이 크게 표1과 같이 콘크리트의 재료성질과 시공 그리고 외적요인과 하중으로 분류되고 있다. 그중 외벽에 발생하는 균열의 원인은 콘크리트 수축에 기인하는 것외에 다짐불량에 의한 코올드 조인트와 철근 부식 등에 의한 팽창균열 등 여러가지가 있다. 본고는 특히 중요한 수축균열에 한정하여 그 실태와 대책의 동향을 설명한다.「수축에 의해 발생하는 균열」의 원인은 콘크리트의 건조수축, 수화열에 의한 열수축 및 외기온의 변동에 의한 온도수축으로 대별될 수 있다. 실제의 건물 외벽균열은 이들이 복합적으로 작용하여 발생한다. 따라서 본 고에서는 이러한 종류의 균열실태에 대해 조사사례와 연구보고를 소개함과 동시에 균열 메카니즘. 방지대책 등에 대해 이해를 돕기 위한 자료를 제공한다. 본고는 1992년 2월에 소유가 발표한 일본 콘크리트 공학의 "RC건물외벽의 수축균열의 실태와 그 대책"을 중심으로 요약한 내용이다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of capsulated slurry phase change material (PCM) on the thermal crack in mass concrete by experimental work and FEM analysis. In this study, three conditions of samples were prepared for evaluating the level of hydration heat, i.e., a material condition, a cement paste condition and a concrete condition. Also, a compressive strength test was conducted for FEM inverse analysis. Based on the results of the experiment, exothermic function coefficients of concrete with encapsulated slurry PCM were deducted by the inverse analysis. After that, they applied to FEM analysis of the mass scale concrete structures. From the results of this experiment, $31^{\circ}C$ capsulated slurry PCM had no super cooling phenomenon in the material condition. In the cement condition, hydration heat decreased by 34.61J when PCM of 1g was mixed. In the concrete condition, PCM of 6% was deducted as the best level in hydration heat absorption. In FEM inverse analysis, rate coefficient of reaction gradually decreased when PCM mixing ratio increased. But, temperature-rise coefficient increased when PCM mixing ratio exceeded 6%. For the inversed exothermic function coefficients applying to large scale concrete structures, a thermal cracking index increased by 0.05 when PCM of 1% was mixed.

In order to raise efficiency in construction, construction period, construction costs etc. that have been problematic in the methods of hydration heat reduction thus far, this study has developed a new method. The principle of the developed construction method involves the laying of a heat conducting medium such as the heat pipe in the concrete, and through the fast conduction of heat by the heat pipe, the hydration heat occurring within the mass concrete is transferred to the exterior by which the internal hydration heat is reduced. If the study results of the onsite test are summarized, on application of existing hydration heat reduction methods, the highest temperature was reached in about 2$\sim$4 days, but when the heat pipe of this study was used, the period was reduced to within 24 hours. Moreover, when the thermal crack index was calculated with the method using the heat pipe as developed in this study, a value of 1.2 or higher was revealed, which is a level that can restrict the occurrence of cracks. Therefore, when the hydration heat control method using the heat pipe as developed in this study is applied, not only the effects of construction efficiency and reduction in construction period, but also outstanding economical effects can be expected.
