Abstract

The corrosion of reinforcements embedded in concrete causes some durability problems in reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. The epoxy coated reinforcements are one of the effective and reliable methods to prevent corrosion of reinforcements. However, it has been known that the epoxy coating reduces the bond capacity of reinforcement to concrete. This paper investigates the bond behaviors of epoxy coated reinforcements experimentally using direct pull-out test. Bond behaviors of epoxy coated bars for various reinforcement diameters of 10, 19 and 29mm and thicknesses of cover concrete of 1, 2, 3, and $4.5c/d_b$ (ratio of cover to bar diameter) are examined. Total 66 specimens were manufactured and tested according to the RILEM standard method. As the diameters of the epoxy coated reinforcements increase, the difference of bond strength between epoxy coated reinforcements and uncoated bars also increases. Epoxy coated bars showed more than 85% bond performance compared to those of uncoated bars. A new formular for estimating basic development length of epoxy coated reinforcement based on equilibrium equation is proposed using this experimental result.

철근 콘크리트 구조물에 있어서 철근의 부식은 구조물의 내구성 측면에서 심각한 문제를 야기하고 있으며, 이에 대한 효율적인 대책의 하나로 에폭시 도막 철근의 사용이 제시되고 있으나, 철근 표면의 에폭시 도막으로 인하여 콘크리트와의 부착 성능이 저하되는 문제점이 발생하게 된다. 이를 정확히 평가하고 대안을 제시하기 위한 기초단계로 이 연구에서는 현재 국내에서 생산되는 에폭시 도막 철근의 직접 부착 실험을 수행하고 부착성능을 평가하였다. 에폭시 도막 철근의 부착 실험은 지름 10, 19, 29mm의 철근에 대하여 콘크리트 피복두께를 철근 지름의 1, 2, 3, 4.5배로 하여 수행되었다. 총 66개의 시편이 RILEM 시험법에 따라 실험이 진행 되었는데, 에폭시 도막 철근의 지름이 증가할수록 에폭시 도막 철근과 일반철근의 부착응력 차이가 증가하였으며, 도막두께의 영향은 뚜렷하지 않았다. 또한, 에폭시 도막 철근의 부착강도는 KS 표준에 제시된 제한값인 일반 철근 대비 85%의 부착성능을 나타내는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 실험의 결과에 근거하여 평형방정식에 기초한 에폭시 도막 철근의 정착길이 증가계수를 수정한 새로운 산정식을 제안하였다.
