Abstract

A sheet type of green body was made with the mixture of 60 wt% red clay, 20 wt% fly ash, and 20 wt% stone sludge. Indentations were made on the surfaces of sheets to investigate fracture rate of 1 to 5 mm artificial light-weight aggregates by various drying, breaking, and forming methods. Drying methods of green bodies were natural, electric oven, microwave, and fast drying by torch. Breaking methods of green bodies were ballmill Ⅰ, ballmill Ⅱ, free dropping in the box, and mechanical breaking with roller mill. The depth and width of indent on the surface of the sheet were varied and the thickness of green bodies was also changed to investigate effects of indentation on fracture rates. The highest fracture rate of 42 % among the various drying methods was obtained by microwave drying for 210 sec and the highest fracture rate of 65 % among the various breaking method was obtained by ballmill Ⅱ method. In forming method, an yield of larger aggregates than Ф = 5 mm decreased and that of smaller aggregates than Ф = 5 mm in creased with increasing depth of indentation (only in 3 mm thick green body)and with increasing thickness of green body. The size of aggregates was most homogeneous (by judging from the measurement of aspect ratio of 1 to 5 mm aggregates.) when 3 mm thick green body was rapidly dried by torch and was broken by ballmill Ⅱ method.

적점토 60 wt%, 석탄회 20 wt%, 석분오니 20 wt%를 혼합하여 제작한 sheet 형태의 소지에 인덴트(indent)를 주고 건조방법, 파쇄방법, 성형방법을 변화시켜 1~5 mm 골재의 파쇄율을 알아보았다. 소지를 건조할 때 실내와 실외에서의 자연건조, 건조기건조, 마이크로웨이브(microwave)건조, 급속건조로 분류하여 비교실험 하였고, 파쇄방법은 볼밀 Ⅰ 파쇄, 볼밀 Ⅱ 파쇄, 낙하파쇄, 기계식 파쇄(롤러밀사용)법으로 변화를 주었다. 성형방법은 인덴트의 간격과 깊이를 변화시키면서 동시에 소지의 두께를 변화시켜 실험하였다. 건조방법에 의한 비교실험 결과는 210초까지 건조시킨 마이크로웨이브건조가 약 42%로. 파쇄방법에서는 볼밀 Ⅱ 파쇄법이 약 65 %로 가장 높은 파쇄율을 보였고, 성형방법에서는 인덴트의 깊이가 깊어질수록(3mm의 소지에서만), 소지의 두께가 증가할수록 크기가 Ф=5 mm보다 큰 골재의 수율은 감소했고 Ф=5 mm 이하인 골재의 수율은 증가했다. 각각의 실험 후 파쇄 된 1~5mm 골재의 aspect ratio를 비교해본 결과 3mm 두께의 소지를 급속건조법에 의해 건조하고 볼밀 Ⅱ법을 이용해 파쇄 한 경우 가장 균일한 골재의 모양으로 파쇄 되었음을 알 수 있었다.
