Abstract

Technologies for rapid concrete curing using elevated temperature are important for saving cost and time when constricting concrete structures. Recently, a microwave heating form was developed. In this study the early strength of concrete cured by the developed form was experimentally investigated. Large scale mock up tests were conducted six times, and the results were analyzed based on the maturity theory. Logarithmic correlation curves were generated based on the measured strength and estimated maturity. It was confirmed that the strength development of the concrete cured by microwave heating form can be estimated by the equivalent age theory usually applied to steam-curing technology. By using the microwave heating form, one day at most is enough to get the required strength for the safe removal of forms, even in cold weather.

콘크리트 공사에서 공기단축과 시공비 절감을 위하여 가장 핵심적인 기술 중 하나는 온도 제어 양생기술이다. 최근에 마이크로웨이브를 이용한 발열 촉진 양생방법이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 개발된 기술을 적용한 콘크리트의 조기 강도발현특성을 실험적으로 고찰하였다. 총 6차에 걸친 대형 Mock-up 실험을 수행하였으며 실험결과를 성숙도이론에 근거하여 해석하였다. 개발된 방법으로 양생된 콘크리트의 압축강도 발현과 성숙도는 로그함수의 관계를 나타내었으며, 일반적인 고온 증기 양생된 콘크리트에 적용되는 등가재령이론으로 강도예측이 가능한 것으로 확인되었다. 개발된 마이크로웨이브 발열거푸집에 의해 동절기에도 하루면 거푸집 탈형을 위한 소요강도를 확보할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
