Abstract

The present study evaluated experimentally the effects of the type and content of plastic fine aggregates on cement mortar in order to utilize waste platics as raw materials of concrete. The two kinds of plastics, LLDPE and HDPE were used, and the mixing rate of plastic fine aggregates was increased 0, 25, 50, 75, 100%. The mortar of LLDPE fine aggregate and HDPE fine aggregate showed similar tendency in flow and material separation resistance, density and water absorption, compressive strength and flexural strength by age. The flowability of mortar mixed with plastic fine aggregates was increased up to 50% but decreased at 75% or more. The material separation resistance of mortar with plastic fine aggregates was also dramatically decreased. On the other hand, due to the low density of plastics, the density of mortar decreased with the mixing of plastic fine aggregates. Due to the low adhesion between plastic fine aggregates and cement, the compressive strength by age was decreased in proportion to the mixing ratio of plastic aggregate, but the flexural strength of each age decreased with maintaining a certain level at 50% or more of plastic fine aggregate content.

본 연구는 폐플라스틱 중 저급의 복합재질 필름류 포장재를 콘크리트 원재료로 활용하기 위한 기초 연구로, LLDPE 및 HDPE의 2종의 플라스틱으로 제작된 잔골재를 사용하여 혼입률을 0, 25, 50, 75, 100%로 증가시키면서 플라스틱 잔골재의 종류 및 혼입률이 모르타르에 미치는 영향에 대하여 실험적으로 평가하였다. LLDPE 잔골재 및 HDPE 잔골재 혼입 모르타르는 유동성 및 재료분리저항성, 밀도 및 흡수율, 재령별 압축강도 및 휨강도에서 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 플라스틱 잔골재를 혼입하지 않은 모르타르 대비 플라스틱 잔골재 혼입 모르타르의 유동성은 혼입률 50% 까지는 증가하다가 혼입률 75% 이상에서는 감소하였으며, 플라스틱 잔골재의 혼입에 따라 모르타르의 재료분리저항성은 급격하게 증가하였다. 한편, 플라스틱 잔골재의 낮은 밀도로 플라스틱 잔골재 혼입에 따라 모르타르의 밀도는 감소하였으며, 플라스틱 잔골재와 시멘트 사이의 낮은 부착력으로 인하여, 플라스틱 잔골재 혼입에 따라 재령별 압축강도는 플라스틱 잔골재 혼입률에 비례하여 감소하였으나. 재령별 휨강도는 플라스틱 잔골재 혼입률 50% 이상에서 일정 수준을 유지하며 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.
