Abstract

Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) has recently been one of the most active research fields in Korea as well as in foreign countries, because it can contribute to a longer life and economic efficiency of structures. Although precast-type UHPC fabricated in a factory is preferable in terms of quality control and reduction of construction period, there exist, even in the precast structure, some parts that need to be cast in-place such as the joints between precast segments. In the cast-in-place UHPC, however, it is probable that an optimum curing condition can hardly be realized in contrast to the factory production. In this study, therefore, the trend of compressive strength development of UHPC was experimentally investigated by assuming various inferior curing conditions that may be anticipated at a construction site. Concrete specimens were fabricated and cured under different conditions with the variables such as curing temperature, delay time before the initiation of curing, duration of curing time and moisture condition. The strengths were compared with those of the specimens cured by standard high temperature steam. Through the analysis of the test results, some minimum requirements for curing have been proposed that are required when the UHPC is cast in-place. It is expected, through this study, that practical use of UHPC in construction sites can be increased.

초고성능 콘크리트(UHPC: Ultra-High Performance Concrete)는 최근 국내외에서 연구가 가장 활발한 분야 중 하나로서 구조물의 장수명화와 경제성 제고에 기여하고 있다. 품질관리 및 공사기간 단축을 위해서는 공장에서 제작된 프리캐스트 방식의 초고성능 콘크리트가 유리하지만, 이 경우에도 프리캐스트 세그먼트 간의 이음부 등 부득이 현장타설로 시공되어야 하는 부분이 존재한다. 그러나 현장타설 시에는 공장 제작 시와는 달리 최적의 양생 조건을 구현하기 어려울 가능성이 크다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 현장에서 예상되는 여러 가지의 열악한 양생 조건을 가정하였을 때 초고성능 콘크리트의 압축강도 발현 경향을 실험적으로 규명하였다. 양생온도, 양생 전 지연시간, 양생 지속시간, 수분 공급 조건을 변수로 두어 공시체를 제작한 후 표준적인 고온습윤양생으로 제작된 공시체의 강도와 비교하였다. 실험 결과를 분석하여 현장에서 타설된 초고성능 콘크리트를 양생할 때 요구되는 최소한의 조건을 제안하였다. 이 연구를 통해 초고성능 콘크리트의 현장에서의 활용도를 더욱 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
