이 연구에서는 해양폐기물인 해조류에서 추출된 알긴산을 혼입하여 모르타르의 압축강도 특성을 분석하였다. 알긴산은 해양폐기물 중 해조류의 성분 중 하나로 라텍스와 비슷한 성분을 띄고 있으며, 방수성 성질이 있어 포장용 콘크리트에 활용 시 콘크리트의 수명 을 연장하고 파손 방지에 도움이 된다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 기존에 널리 사용되고 있는 라텍스 콘크리트에 알긴산을 혼입한 라텍스 콘크리트 개발의 일환으로 알긴산 혼입 라텍스 모르타르의 역학적 특성에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실험결과, 알긴산 혼입량 증가에 따른 응결은 빨라지는 경향을 나타내었으며, 압축강도는 저하하는 경향을 나타내었다.

PURPOSES : This study investigated the field applicability of pervious concrete to pavement base courses. Pervious concrete was developed at laboratory level, and the compaction methods, field moisture content, and fundamental properties when the material was constructed in the field were studied. METHODS : Field-applied pervious concrete was compacted at different levels using a tandem roller, and cores were taken to investigate the compressive strength, infiltration rate, continued porosity, and freeze-thaw resistance. In addition, the optimum field construction and quality control of the moisture content of a batch plant were measured. RESULTS : The moisture content of pervious concrete has an essential effect on workability and quality control during field test construction. From the test herein, the optimum value at a batch plant was found to be approximately 2.5±0.1%. The compaction level is also a crucial parameter at construction sites because it affects the mechanical and penetration properties. Considering both compressive strength and drainage, the recommended compaction was three times the round trip when a tandem roller was used. The penetration coefficient was 0.88 cm/sec when applying three times the round trip of the tandem roller. The freezing and thawing weight loss rates of the applied pervious concrete satisfied the required condition of 14% or less, regardless the compaction level. CONCLUSIONS : With the suggested mixed proportions of pervious concrete, the recommended compaction was three times the round trip of a tandem roller and a moisture content of approximately 2.5±0.1% from a batch plant. When these conditions were satisfied, the mechanical and drainage properties satisfied the required criteria.
