In korea, only small amount of nonstructural lightweight concrete is being used through indirect effects such as heat insulation property and soundproofing rather than structural elements due to lack of structural lightweight aggregates and lack of understanding about lightweight concrete development, etc. That`s why structural lightweight concrete to reduce weight has not been put to practical use. This study is a part of high strength lightweight aggregate concrete researches using lightweight aggregates and the purpose of this study is to find out the basic physical characteristics and tension cracking fracture characteristics of lightweight concrete. Crack Mouth Opening Displacement is measured through 3 point flexure experiment about notch beam. Load-CMOD characteristics are examined through rules of countries, characteristics of lightweight concrete and tension cracking fracture experiments. The degree of tensile characteristic alteration according to size changes of specimen and the characteristics about crack surface are analyzed. The changes of softening curve are analyzed and fracture energy is drawn through inverse analysis by the obtained Load-CMOD curve. To decide fracture energy and analysis parametric, inverse analysis is conducted and Ant Colony Method is conducted for optimization and then a way to find out optimal parameterization fracture energy is suggested.

최근 구조물들이 대형화됨으로써 보통 콘크리트를 사용할 경우 강도 및 내구성에 비하여 중량이 크다는 결점으로 인해 콘크리트 구조물의 설계 및 시공의 안정에 제약을 주게 된다. 이러한 결점을 개선하기 위해서는 자중이 작고 강도가 큰 경량콘크리트가 요구되나, 국내에서는 실용화를 위한 연구가 아직 미비한 실정에 있다. 일반적으로 고온에서 소성시켜 제조된 인공골재는 골재가 팽창되어 내부에 무수한 기포를 가지게 된다. 따라서 골재의 크기에 따라 이들의 기포가 경량콘크리트 비중과 강도에 미치는 영향 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 개발된 화력발전소 폐기물과 점토를 고온에서 소성, 팽창시켜 만든 인공경량골재의 입도별 배합설계를 실시하고 실험을 통하여 경량콘크리트의 비중 및 강도변화를 비교 고찰했다. 또한 경량콘크리트의 고강도 발현을 위한 인공경량골재의 최적 입도비를 제안하였다.
