The most crucial factor determining the pumping performance of concrete is the characteristics of the lubricating layer formed between the pipe wall and the inner concrete. Thus, it is important to accurately identify the rheological properties of the lubricating layer to predict the pumping of concrete. In this study, a new method is proposed for measuring the rheological properties of the lubricating layer with improved convenience. To verify the new method, a pumping test was conducted with 337 m-long horizontal piping. The rheological properties of the lubricating layer were assessed by a previously verified method and the new method proposed in this study for a total of four concrete mixtures with design strength ranging from 27 MPa to 60 MPa. The correlation between the existing method and the new method in relation to the viscosity of the lubricating layer was determined, and it was possible to predict the pumping performance with an accuracy of about 88.5% using the viscosity of the lubricating layer obtained from this correlation.

In the pumping process, concrete moves along the pipe and experiences both pressure and shear. This changes the workability and flow characteristics of the concrete. However, the effect of pressure and shear on the change in properties of concrete during the pumping process has not yet been accurately identified. This study analyzed the effects of pressure and shear on the properties of concrete during pumping. For quantitative tests, lab-scale test equipment capable of simulating the pressure and shear applied to concrete during pumping was used. For one coarse aggregate type, two paste types, three mortar types, and five concrete types, the effects of pressure, shear, and shear under pressure conditions were examined by varying the maximum pressure (0 to 200 bar) and the rotational speed of the vane for shear (0 to 180 rpm). Under the maximum pressure condition of 200 bar, the water absorption of coarse aggregate increased by 0.62% and that of fine aggregate also increased. When the concrete was under pressure, significant changes (a reduction in a slump and an increase in viscosity and yield stress) compared with the effect of the elapsed time occurred owing to an increase in the water absorption of the aggregates. When both pressure and shear were applied to concrete, both the slump and viscosity decreased. As the rotational speed of the vane increased, changes in properties became significant. Shearing in the absence of pressure maintained the properties of concrete. However, shearing under pressure conditions caused a reduction in slump and viscosity.

본 연구에서는 초고층 구조물 시공에 사용되는 80MPa의 고성능 콘크리트를 대상으로 높이가 200m부터 350m인 지점까지 압송계측 결과를 근거로 하여 압송성능과 고성능 콘크리트의 유동특성과의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 굳지 않은 콘크리트의 물성과 초기강도 및 기준 재령에서의 압축강도 및 탄성계수는 모두 품질기준을 만족함이 확인되었다. 또한, 높이별 최대 압송압력은 약 10~15%씩 증가하였으며, 시간당 토출량은 최소 $25m^3$를 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 압송압력과 마찰계수는 슬럼프 플로우의 크기에 반비례하는 것으로 나타났으며, 압송압력과 마찰계수는 T-500이 높을수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

This study collected the results of material tests and full-scale pumping tests using 127 types of concrete mixtures with compressive strength ranging from 24 to 200 MPa. The results of 242 material tests showed high correlations between the viscosity of the lubricating layer and concrete, between the slump and the yield stress of concrete, between the water-binder ratio and the viscosity of lubricating layer, and between the time required to reach 500 mm of slump flow and concrete viscosity. Based on these correlations, pumpability was predicted using 101 pumping test conditions, and their accuracy was compared to the actual test results. When the rheological properties of concrete and the lubricating layer were directly measured, the prediction result showed the highest accuracy. A high accuracy can be achieved when the measured viscosity of the lubricating layer, a key determinant of concrete pumpability, is reflected in the prediction of pumpability. When measuring rheological properties is difficult, the slump test can be used to quantitatively predict the pumpability despite the lower accuracy than those of other prediction methods.

본 연구에서는 콘크리트를 펌프압송할 경우, 콘크리트의 배합조건에 따른 레올로지 특성의 차이와 압송속도에 의해 펌핑관내의 마찰저항력이 달라지게 되는 것에 착안하여 레올로지특성과 펌핑관내 마찰저항계수의 상관관계를 도출하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 콘크리트용 레올로지 측정장치와 관내마찰저항 평가시험장치를 이용하여 레올로지특성과 마찰저항력을 측정하기 위한 펌프압송실험을 수행하였다. 연구결과, 펌핑전후의 레올로지특성에 큰 변화가 있는 것으로 파악되었으며, 시험장치에 의해 측정된 관내마찰 저항력과 이론상의 관내 최대전단력이 거의 동일한 값을 나타냈다. 또한, 펌핑 후 콘크리트의 소성점도와 관내마찰저항계수의 상관관계가 매우 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 본 연구에서 도출된 마찰저항계수에 의한 압송압력의 예측값이 실측결과와 매우 높은 상관관계를 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

This study is the part of the investigation of the state of the art in ultra high flowing concrete (UHFC), applied in practical field construction, in order to develop the technology for improving workability. This paper includes a brief introduction of water content variance properties in UHFC before and after the pumping operation. Test showed that water content in all parameters decreased after the pumping. This is due to the increase of an absorption ratio of coarse aggregate by the pressure of the pumping operation. thus decreasing the water content. Therefore it should be considered to find out the possibility, which can improve the workability, suffering from over viscosity by the lower water content, in field construction.

During concrete pumping, the migration and redistribution of particles occur in a pipe and the lubrication layer that forms between the bulk concrete and the pipe wall is the governing factor determining the flow behavior. In order to identify flow behavior of pumping, in this study, the viscoelastic properties related to the microstructural behavior of a flocculated suspension were examined by using dynamic oscillatory measurements. Cement paste is assumed to be a constituent material of the lubrication layer and ten cases of mixing design are employed by changing the proportions of mineral admixtures. The relationship between the yield stress obtained from the steady shear test and the dynamic modulus resulted from the oscillatory shear measurement was derived and the implications of the correlation are discussed. Moreover, based on the investigation of the viscoelastic properties with oscillatory measurements, the initial behavior of pumped concrete was analyzed systematically.

This study is purposed to review the confirm method of pumping efficiency using the concrete flow table test in Korea environment. This test method is registered as the "EN 12350-5, Testing fresh concrete. Flow table test" in Eurocode. When applying this test in the Korea construction environment, we reviewed that reasonably apply on the Korean construction Environment. As a result, test results analysis showed that the reality looks a big difference. Its cause is believed to be due to the shape of coarse & fine aggregate. But it will be better predict method, through the correlation analysis of construction data and the standard(Placing Concrete by pumping Methods(ACI Manual of concrete Practice 304.2R-96)).
