This experimental study investigated the effect of silica fume mixed in concrete blocks on laser-induced explosion behavior. We used a 5.3 kW fiber laser as a thermal source to induce explosive spalling on a concrete surface blended with and without silica fume. An analytical approach based on the difference in the removal rate and thermal behavior was used to determine the effect of silica fume on laser-induced explosive spalling. A scanner was employed to calculate the laser-scabbled volume of the concrete surface to derive the removal rate. The removal rate of the concrete mixed with silica fume was higher than that of without silica fume. Thermal images acquired during scabbling were used to qualitatively analyze the thermal response of laser-induced explosive spalling on the concrete surface. At the early stage of laser heating, an uneven spatial distribution of surface temperature appeared on the concrete blended with silica fume because of frequent explosive spalling within a small area. By contrast, the spalling frequency was relatively lower in laser-heated concrete without silica fume. Furthermore, we observed that a larger area was removed via a single explosive spalling event owing to its high porosity.

In this study, an experiment in the field was performed to analyze the mechanical properties and the influence of steel fiber and silica fume on the rebound ratios of shotcrete. The experimental parameters which are the reinforcing methods (steel fiber, wire mesh), steel fiber contents (0.0%, 0.5%, 0.75%, 1.0%), silica fume contents (0.0%, 10.0%), layer thickness (60 mm, 80 mm, 100 mm), and the placing parts (sidewall, shoulder, crown) were chosen. From the mechanical test, it was found that the flexural strength and toughness is significantly improved by the steel fiber and/or silica fume. According to the results for the side wall in this test, the larger the fiber contents are in case of steel fiber reinforced shotcrete, the less the rebound ratios are within the range of 20-35%, compared to the wire mesh reinforced shotcrte. And also, the reduced rebound ratios were very larger in using steel fiber reinforced shotcrete with silica fume content of 10%, and these results are true of the shoulder and the crown. respectively.

This study investigates the properties of paste and mortar from different types and forms of silica fume on cement binder for ultra high strength. Although most Silica Fumes distributed in the market fulfill the KS quality standard, each type showed different levels of loss of ignition. When evaluating cement binder for ultra high strength in a form of paste. Flow, viscosity and moving freely time show great difference depending on the Silica Fume's form and type of primary particle's dispersibility. The evaluation of Silica Fume's dispersibility can be possible with the paste test since there is a high correlation of flow quality between paste and mortar. The compressive strength when using Silica Fume was correlated to the SiO2 content. Synthetically, selecting Silica Fume with the most the ideal primary particle is the key to optimizing the formation for cement binder for ultra high strength.

본 연구에서는 고가의 실리카퓸의 대체 재료로서 메타카올린을 사용할 목적으로 광물질 혼화재와 혼합사용한 고강도콘크리트의 특성을 검토하였다. OPC 100%와 고로슬래그시멘트, 그리고 OPC와 플라이애쉬 20% 사용한 배합을 기준배합으로 하였으며, 각각의 배합에 실리카퓸과 메타카올린을 20% 범위 내에서 혼합하여 대체하였다. 실험 결과, 목표 유동성을 만족한 기준 배합에 대하여 실리카퓸만 대체하였을 경우에는 점성이 저하되었으며, 슬럼프플로우는 감소하였고, 공기량은 증가하였다. 이에 비하여 메타카올린의 사용량이 증가할수록 콘크리트의 점성이 증가되면서 슬럼프 플로우는 증가하였고, 공기량은 감소, 그리고 고성능감수제 사용량도 감소하였다. 경화 콘크리트의 특성은 압축강도와 초음파 속도, 그리고 단위용적질량이 메타카올린 사용량에 따라 증가하였는데, 이러한 원인은 굳지 않은 콘크리트의 공기량에 영향을 받는 것으로 판단되어 고강도콘크리트는 공기량을 조절하는 것이 중요한 항목으로 나타났다. 따라서 고강도콘크리트용 혼화재로서 실리카퓸의 대체 재료로서 메타카올린의 활용이 가능할 것으로 전망되며, 혼합 사용하는 경우에는 유동성과 강도 특성을 고려하여 실리카퓸과 메타카올린은 각각 10% 정도가 적정 사용량인 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze void ratio, coefficient of water permeability, and strength characteristics when silica fume and carbon fibers were added in order to improve the strength of porous concrete, and when recycled aggregates were used. Comparing with the case that recycled aggregate was not used, as the replacement ratio of recycled aggregate increased, the differences in void ratios and strength characteristics were decreased. In the case that silica fume was used, the content of 10% silica fume was most effective in improving strength. In the case that carbon fibers were used, the content of 3% carbon fiber were good to achieve the highest flexural strength, and Pan-derived CF was much better than pitch-derived CF in improving these effects.

The gypsiferous soils are significantly sensitive to moisture and the water has a severe destructive effect on them. Therefore, the effect of lime and silica fume addition on their mechanical properties, when subjected to water, is investigated. Gypsiferous soil specimens were mixed with 1, 2 and 3% lime and 1, 3, 5 and 7% silica fume, in terms of the dry weight of soil. The specimens were mixed at optimum moisture content and cured for 24 hours, 7 and 28 days. 86 specimens in the sizes of unconfined compression strength test mold were prepared to perform unconfined compressive strength and durability tests. The results proved that adding even 1% of each of these additives can lead to a 15 times increase in unconfined compressive strength, compared with untreated specimen, and this increases as the curing time is prolonged. Also, after soaking, the compressive strength of the specimens stabilized with 2 and 3% lime plus different percentages of silica fume was considerably higher than before soaking. The durability of the treated specimens increased significantly after soaking. Direct shear tests showed that lime treatment is more efficient than silica fume treatment. Moreover, it is concluded that the initial tangent modulus and the strain at failure increased as the normal stress of the test was increased. Also, the higher lime contents, up to certain limits, increase the shear strength. Therefore, simultaneous use of lime and silica fume is recommended to improve the geotechnical properties of gypsiferous soils.

Tests have been carried out on four concrete containing different levels of silica fume to measure their permeability coefficient using water and oxygen, chloride ion. The total cementitious content was 351kg/㎥, and the water/cementitious materials ratio was 0.55. The results show that a dramatic reduction in permeability of concrete containing silica fume occurs due to formation of a discontinuous macro-pore system which inhibits flow. Porosity estimates from mercury-intrusion porosimetry are used to develop an explanations for the water and air permeability reduction. And, results of the rapid permeability test showed that the resistance of concrete to the penetration of chloride ions increases significantly as a contents of silica-fume is increased. The current intensity passing through the concrete containing silica fume is presented from 664C to 2166C.

본 논문은 유기물과 중금속이 함께 포함되어 있는 폐수 슬러지의 시멘트 고형화를 위해 포졸란물질인 실리카흄을 고화보조재로 사용한 연구결과이다. 실리카흄을 고화보조재로 사용할 경우 고화체의 일축압축강도는 현저히 증가하는 결과를 보여주었으며, 실리카흄의 시멘트 대체가 전체 배합물의 15%까지 증가하였을 때 일축압축강도는 실리카흄을 전혀 사용하지 않았을 경우에 비하여 66.7%까지 증가하는 결과를 보여주었다. 또한 시멘트가 실리카흄으로 대체되는 양이 증가하면서 총 유기탄소와 중금속인 크롬의 용출량은 감소하는 결과를 보여주었으며, 배합물 중 실리카흄이 5%를 차지할 때 중성의 용출액에서 총 유기탄소의 85%가 용출억제되었으며, 산성의 용출액에서 0.76 mg-Cr/g-Cr의 크롬만이 용출되었다. 전자주사현미경과 X-선 회절분석, 적외선 분광분석 등을 이용한 미세구조분석 결과 실리카흄은 시멘트경화 초기에 크링커 입자를 피복하여 초결(initial setting)과 수화를 저해하는 에트링가이트(ettringite)의 형성을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과 중금속과 유기물이 혼합된 슬러지의 시멘트 고형화에 있어서 실리카흄의 첨가는 유기물질이 시멘트 수화반응에 미치는 악영향을 억제하고 중금속 및 유기물의 용출을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다.
