Abstract

In order to evaluate the effects of exposure conditions on the resistance to sulfate attack of normal and blended cement mortars, several mechanical characteristics of the mortars such as expansion, strength and bulk density were regularly monitored for 52 cycles under sodium sulfate attack. The mortar specimens were exposed to 3 different types of exposure conditions; 1) continuous full immersion(Exposure A), continuous half-immersion(Exposure B) and cyclic wetting-drying(Exposure C). Experimental results indicated that the maximum deterioration was noted in OPC mortar specimens subjected to Exposure B, showing the wide cracks in the portions where attacking solution is adjacent to air. Additionally, the beneficial effect of ground granulated blast-furnace slag and silica fume was clearly observed showing a superior resistance against sodium sulfate attack, because of its lower permeability and densified structure. Thus, it is suggested that when concrete made with normal cement is exposed to sulfate environment, proper considerations on the exposure conditions should be taken.

본 연구는 보통 및 혼합시멘트계 모르타르의 황산염침식 저항성에 대한 노출조건의 영향을 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 모르타르를 제조한 후, 3종류 노출조건, 즉 1) 연속 완전침지, 2) 연속 반침지 및 3) 건습반복 조건에서 모르타르의 팽창, 강도, 밀도 등 역학적 성능변화를 52싸이클까지 주기적으로 관찰하였다. 실험결과에 따르면, 연속 반침지(Exposure B) 조건에 노출된 OPC 모르타르가 황산염침식에 의한 다량의 균열이 발생하므로써, 연속 완전침지 조건 및 건습반복 조건에 노출된 모르타르에 비하여 성능저하가 상대적으로 크게 나타났다. 그러나, 고로슬래그미분말 및 실리카퓸을 사용한 혼합시멘트계 모르타르는 낮은 투수성 및 조직구조의 밀실화효과에 의하여 노출조건에 관계없이 우수한 황산염침식 저항성을 보였다. 따라서, 콘크리트 구조물이 황산염침식 환경에 노출될 경우, 노출조건에 대한 고려가 반드시 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.
