A Study on the Engineering Properties of Concrete Using High Volume of Volcanic Ash

화산재를 대량 사용한 콘크리트의 특성

Recently, the use of volcanic-ash as a part of cement content in concrete is very common. But, it has been indicated that the compressive strength of concrete using large amount of volcanic-ash as a part of cement content in early age is low and carbonation velocity is fast. To solve those problems, High Volume Volcanic-Ash Concrete which contained large amount of volcanic-ash as a part of fine aggregate has been proposed. This is an experimential study to compare and analyze the properties of High Volumn Volcanic-Ash Concrete according to the replacement method and ratio of volcanic-ash. For this purpose, the mix proportion of concrete according to the replacement method(PL, C10, C150, A10, A100, A150) And then slump, setting time, bleeding, compressive strength, tensile strength and carbornation test were performed. According to test results, it was found that the compressive strength of the concrete using the volcanic-ash as a part of fine aggregate(A) was higher than that of the concrete using the volcanic-ash as a part of cement content(C). And, the compressive strength of the A concrete increased in early age as well as in long tern age as the volcanic-ash content increased.
