Abstract

In this study, performance of hardening accelerator types which promote setting and hardening of cement has been reviewed in order to develop early age strength of concrete with compressive strength of 21~27 MPa after examination of strength development of the concrete at early age according to curing temperature and unit cement(binder) content. As results, soluble mineral salt showed better hardening acceleration effect than organic salt in the scope of this study. Also, hydration reaction accelerating effect of $C_3S$ by Soluble mineral salt is effective on development of early age compressive strength and it was shown that the Pt's hydration reaction accelerating effect was the best. Construction duration reduction can be expected by securing compressive strength for prevention of early aged freezing damage in 25hour-curing time under curing temperature at $15^{\circ}C$. Also, it was shown that compressive strength of specimen cured at $5^{\circ}C$ was similar with plain specimen cured at $10^{\circ}C$. Therefore, it is expected that fuel costs and carbon dioxide can be reduced when the same construction duration is considered.

본 연구에서는 21~27 MPa 수준의 콘크리트를 대상으로 하여, 양생온도 및 단위결합재량에 따른 초기강도 발현 특성을 검토한 후, 초기강도를 개선하기 위한 방안으로 시멘트의 응결 및 경화를 촉진할 수 있는 경화촉진제의 종류에 따른 성능을 검토하였다. 검토 결과 본 연구의 범위에서는 수용성 무기염이 유기염에 비해 상대적으로 경화촉진 효과가 우수하였으며, 사용량이 낮은 범위에서는 수용성 무기염에 의한 $C_3S$의 수화 반응촉진효과가 초기강도 발현에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 경화촉진제 중에서는 Pt(Potassium thiocyanate)의 촉진효과가 가장 우수하였으며, 양생온도 $15^{\circ}C$ 조건에서도 약 25시간에 초기동해 제어 강도 확보가 가능하여 공기단축 효과를 기대할 수 있고, 양생온도 $5^{\circ}C$에서도 양생온도 $10^{\circ}C$ 조건의 Plain과 유사한 시간에 5MPa 확보가 가능하여, 동일한 공기를 고려할 경우 연료비용 및 $CO_2$ 가스 발생 저감 등의 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
