Abstract

This paper aims to evaluate material property variation of polymer concretes under ultra-violet exposure condition. The components and mixing ratio of the polymer composite specimens were determined by the previous research results. The equivalent UV exposure time was calculated with the consideration of the power of metal halide lamp and maximum 3 years were selected for the experiments. From the tests, it was found that the generated heat during UV exposure affected much the material properties of polymer concrete by means of post cure. As a result, the compressive strength increased and ductility factor decreased.

본 연구에서는 공항 포장용 유지보수 재료로 사용되는 폴리머 콘크리트의 자외선 노출에 대한 기계적 물성 변화를 확인하기 위해 자외선 노출 전/후 시편의 압축강도 및 연성인자의 변화를 평가하였다. 현재 공항 포장용으로 사용되는 폴리머 콘크리트의 비율과 선행연구를 통해 얻은 최적 배합비율을 참고하여 시편을 제작하였다. 자외선 발생 램프의 출력을 고려하여 자연상태에서 노출되는 등가시간을 계산한 후 최대 3년에 해당하는 시간만큼의 등가시간 동안 시편을 노출시켰다. 실험결과, 자외선 노출 자체는 재료물성에 거의 영향을 주지 않았으며, 자외선 노출에 따른 온도상승에 의한 재료물성 변화가 주로 관찰되었다. 자외선에 의해 발생된 열에 노출된 후 모든 시편에서 인성은 감소하고, 압축강도는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다.
