Abstract

Ecological lightweight aggregates were made by using the wastes come from various industrial fields. Wastes were crushed and pulverized by mills and a certain portions of wastes were mixed and formed by pelletizer like small beads. The formed lightweight aggregates were finally sintered with $1125^{\circ}C$/15 min conditions by using rotary kiln. Lightweight concrete sound absorbers were made of ecological lightweight aggregates K73 (Coal bottom ash 70 wt%: Dredged soil 30 wt%) and K631 (Clay 60 wt%: Stone sludge 30 wt%: Spent bleaching clay 10 wt%). For the reference, lightweight concrete sound absorbers made of DL (German made 'L' company LWA) were also made under the same conditions. Sound absorption characteristics were observed and measured according to the kinds of aggregates, water/cement ratio (W/C=20, 25, and 30%), and designed pore rates (V=20, 25, and 30%). The pore rates of the lightweight concrete sound absorber were turned out to be 5 to 10% higher than designed ones. Absorption coefficient of the lightweight concrete sound absorber by using K631 aggregates with W/C=20% and V=25% conditions was 0.88 at 1000 and 3150 Hz from the measurement by the impedance tube.

산업현장에서 발생되는 다양한 종류의 폐기물을 이용하여 에코골재를 제조하였다. 에코골재는 폐기물을 분쇄하고 조립성형 후, 로타리 킬른에서 $1125^{\circ}C$/15 min의 조건으로 소성하여 제조되었다. 본 연구진에 의해 제조된 에코골재 K73(Coal bottom ash 70 wt%: Dredged soil 30 wt%)과 K631(Clay 60 wt%: Stone sludge 30 wt%: Spent bleaching clay 10 wt%)을 이용하여 경량 콘크리트 흡음재를 제조하였으며, 비교를 위해 독일에서 수입된 DL(독일산 'L'사 인공경량골재)을 이용한 흡음재 역시 같은 조건으로 제조하였다. 골재의 종류, 물-시멘트비(W/C=20, 25, 30%) 그리고 설계 공극률(20, 25, 30%)의 변화에 따른 흡음특성변화를 관찰하였다. 실험결과, 경량 콘크리트 흡음재의 실제 공극률은 설계 공극률보다 $5{\sim}10%$ 정도 높게 나타났다. 임피던스관을 이용한 흡음재의 흡음계수 측정 결과, K631골재를 이용한 경량 콘크리트 흡음재(W/C=20%, V=25%)가 1000, 3150 Hz에서 각각 0.88의 흡음계수를 나타내었다.
