최근 나노 버블 수의 건설 산업에 적용한 효과에 대하여 검증하고자 나노 버블 수를 혼입한 모르타르의 물리적 특성에 관한 연구를 진행하였으며 산소 및 이산화탄소 기체를 이용하여 나노 버블 수를 사용하였다. 모르타르의 물리적 성능을 비교하기 위하여 응결 시험과 압축강도 시험을 진행하였으며 응결 시간 내 열중량 분석을 통하여 응결 시험의 원인을 분석하고자 하였다. 본 연구 결과로써 산소 나노 버블 수를 사용하였을 경우 모르타르의 미세 응결촉진을 가져왔으며 이산화탄소 나노 버블 수를 사용한 경우 응결시간의 지연이 유의미하게 나타났다. 또한 실험한 기체의 종류에 관계 없이 강도가 증가 하였으며 응결 지연 여부와 관계없이 조기강도가 증가함을 확인하였다. 추가적인 공극구조 및 수화물 구조 분석에 관한 연구가 필요하지만 나노 버블 수가 건설 산업에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다.

콘크리트 포장의 조기 파손을 초래하는 콘크리트 혼합물의 품질 저하는 최근 종종 발생되고 있다. 이로 인한 유지보수 비용 또한 증 가하는 추세이다. 본 연구는 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 콘크리트 배합 시 효과적으로 유변학적 특성을 측정하여 콘크리트 품질을 예 측할 수 있는 시제품 개발을 연구 중이다. 현재 상용화되어 사용되고 있는 ICAR Plus Rheometer 장비의 이론을 변경 적용하여, 본 시제품 Twin Shaft Rheometer mixer를 개발하였다. 동시에 레오미터 장비를 활용해 유변학적 특성을 확인하고 측정하였다. 콘크리트 의 변형과 움직임을 분석하기 위해 수직, 수평 거동의 비교분석을 진행하였고, 흐름 저항성과 토크 점성을 이용하여 유변학적 특성을 기존 장비와 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 절댓값의 차이는 존재하나 선형적 유사성을 가지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 높은 정확성을 위해 추 가연구는 진행하고 있다. 추가로 슬럼프 측정 센서 또한 개발 진행 중이며, 이 장비는 마이크로파를 통해 매질의 변화를 측정하여 슬 럼프를 유추하는 센서로 더욱 정밀한 결과값을 위해 추가연구 진행하고 있다.

국토교통부 보고서 “2022 도로교 현황보고”에 따르면, 국내 교량의 수는 연간 2.9%씩 증가하고 있으며 그에 따라 보수 가 필요한 교량의 수도 늘어나는 추세이다. 교량 하부를 보수할 때 보통은 몰탈을 사용하여 보수해 왔고, 직접 보수하기 에는 작업자의 안전성 및 작업의 효율성이 떨어져 숏크리트를 사용하여 보수해 왔다. 숏크리트는 건식 숏크리트와 습식 숏크리트가 있다. 습식 숏크리트는 시멘트와 골재, 그리고 미리 혼합된 물이 호스를 통하여 이송되고 호스 끝에서 압축 공기가 이를 고속으로 분사하는 공법이다. 다만 재료를 미리 계량하고 배합한다는 한계가 재료 공급의 제약을 가져온다. 건식 숏크리트란 시멘트, 골재, 섬유 등 건조된 재료들이 호스로 빠르게 압송되어 노즐부에서 물과 만나 빠르게 분사되 는 공법이다. 이러한 공법은 장거리 압송 가능, 습식 숏크리트에 비해 상대적으로 적은 장비, 청소와 보수의 용이성, 쉬 운 적용성이 장점이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 건식 숏크리트 공법을 채택하여 교량 슬래브 하부인 천정부에 대한 단면보 수를 진행하고자 한다. 배합설계는 혼합골재 입도곡선을 고려하고 실리카퓸은 중량의 3%를 차지한다. 연구결과 고압 살 수 및 건식 숏크리트의 현장 적용성은 우수하며, 작업의 용이성 등 교량 하부 구조물 보수에 대한 다양한 장점을 가질 수 있다고 사료된다.

PURPOSES : This study aimed to develop high-performance concrete repair materials for the cross-sectional repair of deteriorated bridge concrete. METHODS : To derive the optimal mix using the dry shotcrete method, experiments were conducted to develop an appropriate performance in terms of durability and watertightness based on basic experiments on materials. By mixing silica fume, GGBFS, and natural fibers, this study compared the differences in each variable. Each variable was compared using compressive strength, flexural strength, plastic shrinkage, chlorine ion penetration resistance, and freeze-thaw tests. RESULTS : By mixing silica fume and natural fibers, watertightness and durability were secured, and by adding an expansion material and polymer powder, a material that exhibited suitable performance as a repair material was developed. The material demonstrated suitable performance in terms of compressive strength, freeze–thaw resistance, plastic shrinkage crack resistance, and chlorine ion penetration resistance. CONCLUSIONS : The repair material developed in this study has a higher performance than repair mortar, and because it uses a dry shotcrete method, the process and post-processing are simpler than the wet shotcrete method; therefore, it is believed to be more efficient for repair work.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to conduct basic research on the development of repair materials for cross-sectional repair of the concrete of the lower slab ceiling of an old bridge. METHODS : To estimate the performance as restoration materials, cross section rebound test, compressive strength test, flexural strength test, and firing shrinkage test was done. Rebound test was done by weight of amount of rebound and weight of concrete accumulated in frame. Cross section rebound test was done by put ruler in the deepest part of concrete stick on frame. Compressive and flexural strength test was done based on KS F 2405 and KS F 2408. Firing shrinkage test was done based on ASTM C 1579-16. RESULTS : As a result of the experiment, an appropriate bonding thickness was secured by mixing natural fibers, polymers, early steel cement, and expansion materials, and the dust reducing agent was excluded due to the problem of lowering compressive strength. In addition, the amount of rebound was reduced by using a hydro mix nozzle, and plastic shrinkage cracks were also reduced due to the internal curing effect of natural fibers. CONCLUSIONS : This study was a basic study in the development of repair materials for cross-sectional repair of the lower ceiling of an aged bridge slab, and developed a material with appropriate performance. However, there is a problem that the amount of rebound and dust increases depending on the type of cement, so experiments will be conducted by changing the type of cement in future research.

PURPOSES : Currently, the domestic construction industry is dominated by large-scale projects such as roads, ports, airports, and buildings. Construction on such projects is generally conducted simultaneously, but the process and quality management are led by a small number of responsible managers. In the case of road pavements, owing to rapid industrial development, economic growth, and the expansion of social overhead capital investment in the road construction industry, highways and general national roads have been constructed on a large scale. Therefore, this study aimed to improve and develop domestic concrete production and construction quality management by improving the reliability and transparency of production quality management and simplifying business processes. This was accomplished through the development of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based cement quality management system capable of automated design and build (D/B) construction and real-time monitoring. METHODS : The "IQ" system is a quality management system for enabling real-time monitoring of D/B quality at the time of concrete production and according to the designated age by utilizing quality test equipment developed with an LTE-Bluetooth function. It is possible to immediately identify and respond to quality problems through real-time monitoring, secure a reliable quality D/B because the quality test results cannot be arbitrarily manipulated, and to simplify the work process through the automatic D/B construction. In addition, improved quality control can be achieved through real-time information sharing and feedback system operations between contractors, managers, and personnel involved in construction. The quality control test items for developing the IQ system are the compression and flexural strengths, as these can be used to determine the design standard strength of pre-curing concretes (such as their slump and unit quantity) and the adequacy of the workability and durability, as well as the air volume to predict the durability, and the chloride content in the sections where reinforcement is used. CONCLUSIONS : This study identified difficulties and limitations in quality management according to the operation method in the domestic quality management systems, and in the real-time monitoring between managers and contractors. Thus, it was necessary to establish an improved systematic and reliable quality management system. The IQ system was developed to solve this problem.

PURPOSES : The increasing heat wave warnings during the summer season in Korea have significant impacts on daily life and industry as a whole, especially in urban areas (such as areas with asphalt and sidewalk pavements). Heat waves directly affect urban heat island and heat dome phenomena. Various urban temperature reduction measures are being discussed to reduce urban heat islands and heat dome phenomena and to improve citizen safety against summer heat waves; suggestions include thermal packaging, rooftop greening, and expansion of vegetation areas. There is a lack of analysis on the methodology for increasing the road spraying effect during summer heat waves (e.g., there is no systematic engineering study on the effect from reducing the temperature of the road spraying during a heat wave in the city) and on the types of road pavements in the city. In addition, as the asphalt pavements of roadways and block pavements installed in sidewalks account for a considerable portion of all pavements, this study provides a more systematic and scientific approach and procedures for reducing temperatures through road spraying in the city by tracking the effects of heat waves. METHODS : In this preliminary experiment, four types of road pavement materials were selected as test specimens: asphalt test specimens (AP- 300 mm × 300 mm × 50 mm), concrete test specimens (CP-300 mm × 300 mm × 50 mm), impermeable blocks (IB-200 mm × 200 mm × 60 mm), and self-permeable blocks (PB-200 mm × 200 mm × 60 mm). As a test method to evaluate the size and duration of each spray effect package type, the surface temperature of each specimen was measured using thermal imaging cameras every 20 min after spraying at the maximum temperature point of each specimen, and the average surface temperature was analyzed based on the collected temperature data. In addition, to conduct a quantitative analysis of the effect of reducing the surface temperature of road pavements by road spraying in summer, field tests were conducted on asphalt roads and watertight blocks for sidewalks. RESULTS : As a result of the comparative analysis of the spray effect under a 36 ℃ air temperature based on a heat wave warning, the surface temperatures were, from high to low, the asphalt (68.8 ℃), concrete (59.1 ℃), impermeable block (57.3 ℃), and permeable block (58.7 ℃). The asphalt pavement had the greatest effect on the heat island and heat dome phenomena. From measuring the temperature reduction effect and sustainability of each type of road pavement, the surface temperature reduction effects were ranked in the following order: water-permeable block (Δ18.0 ℃), asphalt test piece (Δ17.5 ℃), concrete test piece (Δ12.2 ℃), and water-permeable block (over 240 min). In the report pitching block, the average road surface temperature reduction between the pore recovery and treatment was expected to continue to decrease by approximately -4.3 ℃ on the day of work and approximately -2.4 ℃ on the next day. The expected effect of the temperature reduction owing to simple spraying on the surface of the pore block was evaluated to be limited to the day. CONCLUSIONS : In the road spray effect analysis conducted on the common asphalt road, there was a slight difference in the initial temperature reduction size as the test specimen was measured, but the surface temperature difference between the non-spray section and spray section tended to be approximately Δ3°C after 140 minutes of spraying. Therefore, it was determined that the asphalt pavement temperature reduction plan through road spraying in urban areas in summer would be the most effective if it was repeated twice or more in an hour (between 13:00 and 14:00) on the day of the heat wave.

PURPOSES : The actual service life of repair methods applied to cement concrete pavement is analyzed based on de-icing agent usage. METHODS : Highway PMS data pertaining to de-icing agent usage are classified into three grades: low (1~5 ton/lane/year), medium (5~8 ton/lane/year), and high (greater than 8 ton/lane/year). The repair methods considered include diamond grinding, patching, joint repair, partial depth repair, and asphalt overlay on five major highways. The service life of each repair method is analyzed based on the usage level of the de-icing agent. RESULTS : The service lives of the applied repair methods are much shorter than expected. It is confirmed that the service life afforded by diamond grinding, patching, and joint repair methods are not significantly affected by the use of de-icing agents, whereas that afforded by asphalt overlay and partial depth repair methods is affected significantly. The service life afforded by the asphalt overlay and partial depth repair methods decreases at high usage levels of the de-icing agent (greater than 8 ton/lane/year). CONCLUSIONS : Among the repair methods considered, the service life afforded by partial depth repair and asphalt overlay is affected significantly by the amount of de-icing agent used. Additionally, the differences between the expected and actual analyzed service lives should be considered in the next-generation maintenance strategy for cement concrete pavements.

PURPOSES : In general, a high-performance concrete construction method is a method of loading mixed cement and other materials on a mobile mixer equipped with a concrete plant. However, the construction cost is high because the unit cost of the mixed cement is very high and the equipment usage fee of the mobile mixer is also high. To compensate for these drawbacks, a cellular spray concrete method was developed. This is a highly functional customized concrete construction method in which admixtures are added to high-flow concrete with cellular (air bubbles) added at the site and constructed through spraying. METHODS : Field workability evaluation using cellular concrete was carried out using a spray method in 2017 and an anti-foaming agent in 2018. The test construction section was set as a new road-pavement construction site. After construction, strength, durability characteristics, and void analysis were performed to compare the construction methods. The results of laboratory tests under optimal conditions were also compared to the on-field results. By comparing the indoor mixing and the on-field results, we analyzed whether there were any problems concerning the performance expression. The economic feasibility at the initial construction stage was analyzed by comparing the existing and the cellular concrete construction methods in terms of material cost and equipment usage fee. RESULTS : In the case of cellular spray concrete, construction through spraying is cumbersome, and the need to additionally use large equipment such as a pump car and compressor constitutes a disadvantage. However, the most relevant feature is that it can be constructed not only on the floor, but also on a slope. In the case of cellular concrete with an antifoaming agent, it was possible to quickly produce high-performance concrete using on-site remixing equipment. By supplying materials to the pouring surface using a conveyor, smooth construction and construction in narrow spaces were also possible. CONCLUSIONS : The cellular concrete method allows the immediate on-site production of high-performance concrete, and it is possible to selectively apply spray construction, antifoaming agent construction, etc.
