The Statistical Hypothesis Verification to Influence of Addition of Metakaolin and Silica Fume on Compressive Strength and Chloride Ion Penetration of High Strength Concrete
메타카올린은 고령토나 카올린으로 알려진 카올린 광물의 풍화물로, 도자기 산업에 주로 사용되는 원료로, 일반적으로 메타카올린의 입자 크기는 시멘트보다는 작지만, 마이크로 실리카퓸보다는 크다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트용 혼화재로 메타카올린을사용한 콘크리트의 압축강도와 염소이온 투과저항 특성에 관한 영향에 관해 조사하였다. 메타카올린과 실리카퓸의 혼입률이 압축강도와 염소이온 투과저항에 주는 영향을 비교하기 위해 물-결합재비를 30%로 고정하고 각각 0, 5, 10, 15, 20%인 배합수준을 설정하여 비교하였다. 연구결과 메타카올린을 혼입한 콘크리트는 실리카퓸을 혼입한 콘크리트와 유사한 강도특성을 보였지만, 염소이온 투과저항성은 다소 불리한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 강도와 염소이온 투과저항 성능을 동시에 만족하기 위한메타카올린의 혼입률은 10% 정도인 것으로 나타났다.
Metakaolin is a dehydroxylated form of the clay mineral kaolinite. Rocks that are rich in kaolinite are known as china clay or kaolin, traditionally used in the manufacture of porcelain. The particle size of metakaolin is smaller than cement particles, but not as fine as silica fume. This paper investigates the effect of the concrete containing metakaolin as a mineral admixture on the compressive strength and resistance properties to chloride ion penetration. In this study, the experiment was carried out to investigate and analyze the influence of replacement ratio of metakaolin and micro silica fume on the compressive strength and chlorine ion penetration resistance of concrete. All levels were water/binder ratio 30%, replacement ratio of metakaolin and silica fume were 0, 5, 10, 15, 20% respectively. The compressive strength of concrete using metakaolin tends to increase, as the replacement ratio increases but the chlorine ion penetration resistance was not so as lager as silica fume concrete. Therefore, the optimum mixing ratio of metakaoline to satisfy a properties of compressive strength and chlorine ion penetration resistance was was approximately10%.
