PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of additives that affect internal curing in order to reduce the damage occurring in concrete pavements.
METHODS : SAP was used as an additive to reduce internal curing in concrete pavements. SAP is an additive that has a very high absorption rate which prevents concrete wrappers from externally draining water. To evaluate the internal curing performance according to the ratio of SAP, we identified the number of cracks and amount of abrasion reduction.
RESULTS : Plastic shrinkage and durability of a concrete mixture with added SAP were evaluated. The following results were obtained: (1) SAP showed a tendency to reduce slumps due to absorption of the concrete mixture. (2) It was possible to verify that concrete condensation did not occur during the penetration resistance test and that the initial curing did not lead to reactions within the mixture. (3) Adding more than 0.6% of SAP for dry curing resulted in greater compressive strength at all ages than OPC, with the highest compression strength of 0.9% after 56 days. (4) Regarding abrasion resistance, it was found that adding SAP was 30~50% better than adding the OPC mixture, and at 0.9% compression strength, abrasion resistance showed the best performance. (5) In the chlorine ion immersion resistance experiment, the passing charge of the OPC mixture was rated “high,” but it was rated “normal” in SAP. The results showed that the addition of SAP improved the water density of concrete due to internal curing effects, and that it showed the greatest chlorine ion penetration resistance for a compressive strength of 0.9%. (6) Regarding plastic shrinkage resistance, cracks did not occur on the surface until the end of the experiment, but the plastic shrinkage rate upon addition of SAP was relatively low compared to that of the OPC mixture.
CONCLUSIONS : Recent studies have shown that internal curing techniques can be applied using SAP to prevent shrinkage due to the loss of water and to decrease the effects of hydration. If internal curing effects are expressed using SAP, it is thought that contraction due to a loss of moisture and reduction in sign language reaction can be prevented.
PURPOSES: The objective of this study is to evaluate the durable performance of combined organic and inorganic hybrid mortar as repair material (HRM mortar) for concrete road facilities via comparison with that of cement repair materials (IRM mortar).
METHODS : To produce HRM mortars, inorganic materials as binder and 2 mineral fillers were adopted. The ratio of main resin versus hardener was fixed at 1:2. For comparison, IRM mortars made with cement repair materials were also manufactured. Compressive, flexural, and bonding strengths were measured at predetermined periods. For durability assessment, the scaling resistance, freezing & thawing resistance, rapid chloride penetration resistance, and acid attack resistance of those mortars were experimentally monitored.
RESULTS: The durability performances of HRM mortars, especially with respect to freezing & thawing, rapid chloride penetration and acid attack, were identified to be much better than those of IRM mortars. This result implies that HRM is a highly promising and versatile material because of its excellent durability.
CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that the application of the combined organic and inorganic hybrid mortars is possibly an option for the repair of concrete road facilities exposed to aggressive environments.
PURPOSES: The objective of this study is to evaluate the properties of high-performance concrete and compare them with the properties of ternary blended cement (OPC 60% : BFS 30% : FA 10%) as applied to all-in-one bridge decks. High-performance concrete modified with styrene-butadiene latex (SB latex) was evaluated for strength development and durability through its compressive strength and chloride ion diffusion coefficient.
METHODS: The compressive strength test was conducted according to KS F 2405, and the average value of the three specimens was used as the result at each stage. The chloride ion diffusion test was performed at 28 days, 56 days, and 365 days according to NT BUILLD 492. The chloride ion penetration test was conducted according to ASTM C 1202.
RESULTS: For the compressive strength of the high-performance concrete, the blast furnace slag 40% replacement (BFS40) mixture had the most similar results to those of the ternary blended cement. The BFS40 mixture exhibited a lower compressive strength at 3 days than the latex modified concrete (LMC) mixture used for the bridge deck pavement, whereas it exhibited a 3.7-9.8% higher compressive strength at 7 days. In addition, the BFS40 mixture had the lowest diffusion coefficient, which was 49.1~59.0% lower than that of the LMC mixture. Mixing with latex tended to decrease in charge passed compared to Plain which is only used ternary blended cement, and showed excellent watertighness (rated “very low”), which is lower than 1,000 coulombs in all mixtures with latex.
CONCLUSIONS : The BFS40 mixture exhibited excellent compressive strength, chloride ion permeability resistance, and the lowest chloride ion diffusion coefficient although it included a small amount of latex, which makes it more expensive than the current LMC mixture. It is believed that it is possible to secure excellent economic efficiency and durability by using lesser latex than that in the LMC mixture and using a mixture of the blast furnace slag instead.
Chlor-alkali (CA) membranes as key materials to generate chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide are composed of sulfonic acid layer (S-layer) and carboxylic acid layer (C-layer) to provide fast sodium ion transport and slow hydroxide ion diffusion, respectively. Aciplex F, a representative CA membrane is made in a double layer form via thermal adhesion of both layers after each single layer film is independently fabricated. Unfortunately, the membrane fabrication induces delamination particularly in their interface as a result of hydroxide ion diffusion occurring during CA operation, leading to rapid increase in electrochemical overpotential. In this study, selective chemical conversion technique was developed to solve the delamination issue. Their effectiveness was proved by applying the same concept to a wide range of PFSA membrane.
A highly performing and durable forward osmosis (FO) membrane was prepared using a polydopamine-modified polyolefin (DPO) support via an aromatic solvent (toluene)-based interfacial polymerization (IP). The hydrophobic polyolefin support was uniformly hydrophilized by polydopamine coating, which provided long term operation stability. In addition, a highly permselective selective layer was prepared on the hydrophilic DPO support by the toluene-based IP, which promoted amine diffusion and the subsequent IP reaction. As a result, the prepared DPO-supported TFC membrane exhibited significantly high FO performance, which was ~4.9 times higher FO water flux and ~62% lower specific salt flux than those of a commercial FO (HTI-CTA) membrane in FO mode. Furthermore, its excellent mechanical and chemical stability enabled stable operation.
The highly performing polyamide (PA) thin film composite (TFC) reverse osmosis (RO) membrane was prepared using the commercialized porous polyolefin (PO) membrane as a support. The PO-supported TFC (PO-TFC) membrane was fabricated via a conventional interfacial polymerization process. The highly permselective PA layer was formed by optimizing membrane fabrication parameters such as monomer/additive composition and post-treatment. The uniform pore structure and high surface porosity of the PO support are beneficial for improving the membrane permselectivity. As a result, the prepared PO-TFC membrane showed ~30% higher water flux and ~0.4% higher NaCl rejection compared to a commercial RO membrane. In addition, the PO-TFC membrane exhibited excellent mechanical properties and organic solvent resistance.
A porous polyolefin (e.g. polypropylene and polyethylene) membrane has been commercialized as a lithium ion battery separator. The highly performing thin film composite (TFC) forward osmosis (FO) membrane was fabricated using the porous polyolefin membrane as a support via typical interfacial polymerization process. A very thin thickness (~8 μm) and highly interconnected pore structure of the polyolefin support can greatly reduce the internal concentration polarization, leading to high water flux, as evidenced by its low structural parameter (~168 μm). The prepared polyolefin-supported TFC membrane showed ~3.7 times higher water flux and ~33% lower specific salt flux compared to HTI-CTA commercial FO membrane with 1.0 M NaCl draw solution and DI water feed solution in FO mode. In addition, its excellent mechanical strength enables stable membrane operation.
최근 공항포장 현황을 살펴보면, 민간 공항에서는 활주로와 유도로는 아스팔트포장으로 시공하고 계류 장은 콘크리트 포장으로 시공하고 있으며 군용 공항에서는 활주로, 유도로, 계류장 등 항공기가 운항하는 모든 지역을 콘크리트 포장으로 시공하고 있다. 이것은 일찍이 아스팔트 포장이 주축을 이루던 국내공항에서, 주둔 미군에 의해 도입된 콘크리트 포장이 군용 공항에서는 시멘트 수급 활성화 정책과 맞물려 대대적으로 채택·정착된 반면에 민간 공항에서는 변화가 수용되지 못하고 계류장 지역의 채택으로 그치게 되었다. 어쨌든 오랜 기간의 공항포장 시공경험으로 콘크리트 포장의 시공기술은 많은 발전을 거듭하여 현재는 상당한 수준에 달해 있다.
콘크리트 골재의 입도는 시공성, 강도, 내구성, 재료 분리, 필요수량 뿐만 아니라 경제성에도 영향을 미친다. 지금까지 많은 연구를 통해 입도를 최적화하는 모델이 개발되어 왔다. 최근 몇몇 기관 시방서에 서는 최적입도의 이점을 이용하기 위해 채택하여 왔다. 최적입도는 콘크리트의 일부 속성을 강화하기 위해 더욱 양입도의 재료를 만드는 것 등의 방식으로 개선되는 경우가 일반적이다. 더욱이, 입자 형상은 최적입도의 성공적인 사용 가능한 요소로 언급되었다. 특히, 공항포장 콘크리트는 도로포장 콘크리트에 비하여 더 큰 하중이 작용하므로 높은 강도와 고내구성이 요구되어 단위 시멘트량을 높게 사용하고 있지만 현재 다양한 유형의 파손이 다수 발생되어 잦은 유 지보수가 적용되고 있다. 따라서 공항포장 콘크리트가 요구하는 높은 강도와 고내구성을 확보할 수 있는 새로운 탄소배출 저감형 공항포장 콘크리트 개발이 요구된다.
본 논문에서는 고강도·고내구성을 확보할 수 있는 공항포장 콘크리트의 개발을 위한 기초연구로서 재료 측면에서 골재의 최적입도(Optimized Aggregate Gradation)를 적용하였다. 최적입도는 정규입도보다 압축강도와 휨강도가 증진되며 일반적으로 휨강도가 높으면 교통하중 및 환경하중에 의한 횡방향 균열이 더 적게 발생하게 된다. 또한 최적입도를 적용하면 시멘트의 사용량을 줄일 수 있으므로 탄소배출 저감 측면에서도 유리하다.
Previous researches for increasing the durability of concrete structures examined the characteristics of concrete using glycol ether admixture, and determined the optimal addition rate and evaluated durability of concrete. However, today’ s ready mixed concrete uses various industrial byproducts in order to improve the performance of concrete, and the quality of concrete changes depending on the addition of glycol ether admixture and curing condition. Considering this, we need to understand the characteristics of curing methods according to field condition. Thus, the present study evaluated the effects of replacement with fly ash as a binder and curing conditions (temperature and humidity) on the performance of concrete, and obtained data from a mock-up test for the practical use of concrete containing glycol ether admixture. According to the results of this study, the concrete showed resistance performance of around 30% to carbonation and around 40% to drying shrinkage. In addition, as for resistance to freezing and thawing, the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity was over around 85% through atmospheric curing. These performances prove the effect.
Carbonation in concrete structures has been handled as the most fundamental and critical factor related to the durability of reinforced concrete. As a result, there have been efforts to develop repair materials to control carbonation As one of these efforts, alkali recovery agents have been presented as materials for increasing the re-alkalization and durability of carbonated concrete structures. However, in applying them in the field, the performance and quality of concrete recovered after an alkali recovery agent is applied has not been fully assessed. Therefore, to examine the recovered performance of concrete structures resulting from the application of an alkali recovery agent, the present study assessed the depth of carbonation and the degree of deterioration of 20 years or older reinforced concrete structures, and analyzed the quality of concrete after applying an alkali recovery agent to the structures. This study aimed at providing basic information for the application of alkali recovery agents in the field. In this experiment, alkali recovery agents of the lithium silicate line, which are most common in Korea, were applied and cured using concrete of the same size. The degree of recovery was investigated according to the length of time in the initial curing stage, and based on the investigation, the maintenance performance of the alkali recovery agent was assessed according to the age of exposure to the open air. For these tasks, this experiment sampled concrete of different degrees of deterioration, applied alkali recovery agents to them, and observed re-alkalization and changes in the internal texture of the concrete.
