Abstract

As the amount of polycarboxylate superplasticizer varied from 1.2% to 3.0% of the mass of binder, the change in the flowability & rheological properties, and strength of UHPFRC was investigated with experiments. The test results presented that the increase in the amount of superplasticizer was effective in improving the flowability up to 1.8%, but addition more than 1.8% was hardly beneficial for enhancing the flowability and rhelogical properties. Compressive strengths with different amounts of superplasticizer showed that the strength with 1.8% was slightly higher than that of 1.2%, but the amount more than 1.8% caused strength reduction, which was higher as the amount increased. The results in flexural strength according to the amount of superplasticizer showed a similar trend with the results in compressive strength. When the effect of compressive strength and fiber distribution characteristics on the flexural strength was analysed separately, it was found that high amount of superplasticizer caused an effect of fiber distribution in addition to the effect of compressive strength on flexural strength. This effect seems to be closely related to the results of flowability or rheological properties.

이 연구에서는 폴리칼본산계 고성능감수제의 사용량을 1.2%에서 3.0%까지 변화시켰을 때, UHPFRC의 유동성 및 유변특성의 변화, 그리고 강도 변화를 실험을 통해 살펴보았다. 실험결과에 따르면, UHPFRC에서 고성능감수제 사용량 1.8%까지는 사용량 증가에 따라 유동성 개선 효과가 나타났지만, 그 이상에서는 유동성 및 유변특성 개선에 효과가 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 고성능감수제 사용량에 따른 압축강도 결과에서는 고성능감수제를 1.8% 사용하였을 때는 1.2% 사용했을 때 비해 고성능감수제 사용량 증가로 인해 강도가 약간 증가하지만, 그 이상의 고성능감수제 사용량에서는 사용량 증가에 따라 강도가 크게 감소하는 경향을 확인할 수 있다. UHPFRC 휨인장강도의 결과도 압축강도와 유사한 증감의 경향을 나타내었다. 휨인장강도와 연관성이 있는 압축강도 및 섬유의 분포특성의 영향을 분리하여 분석한 결과, 많은 양의 고성능감수제를 사용했을 때 압축강도의 영향 이외에 섬유의 분포특성의 영향을 받았음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 이러한 영향은 플로우 또는 유변특성 결과와 매우 밀접한 연관성이 있는 것으로 판단된다.
