Experimental findings pertaining to the frost resistance of calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) and amorphous calcium aluminate (ACA) cement-based repair mortars incorporated with anhydrite gypsum are described herein. To prepare the mortars, CSA and/or ACA cements were used as binders, and the water–binder ratio was fixed at 0.57. The compressive and bond strengths, chloride-ion penetration resistance, and scaling resistance of the mortars were measured. Based on the ASTM C666 method, the resistance to both frost action and multi-deterioration of chloride and frost attacks on the mortars were experimentally examined. Calcium aluminate-based binders effectively enhanced the compressive and bond strengths of the mortars owing to the formation of C2AH8 and Ye’elimite hydrates. Furthermore, replacing 25% ACA with OPC yielded excellent resistance to both frost attack and multi-deterioration of chloride and frost attacks. Replacing ACA at an appropriate level as a binder effectively improves the durability of concrete road facilities in winter.

PURPOSES : In this study, experimental findings regarding the frost resistance of concrete incorporated with mineral admixtures such as fly ash (FA) and ground granulated blast-furnace slag (SG) are presented. METHODS : To evaluate the performance of the abovementioned concretes under repeated freezing and thawing environments, based on the ASTM C 666 standard, the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity and mass ratio measurements are performed regularly. Furthermore, based on the ASTM C 672 standard, the concretes are exposed to 4% CaCl2 and NaCl salt solutions along with repeated 50 cycles of freezing and thawing. Subsequently, the scaling resistance is evaluated based on the scaled-off mass content and visual examination. RESULTS : SG is less effective in enhancing the scaling resistance of concrete compared with FA. However, the concrete incorporated with SG is more resistant to repeated freeze-thaw actions compared with OPC concrete. Meanwhile, compared with OPC concrete, the concrete incorporated with FA indicates a similar performance in terms of scaling resistance and better resistance against repeated freeze-thaw actions. CONCLUSIONS : The frost resistance of concrete depends significantly on the types of mineral admixtures used in concrete. This emphasizes the importance of selecting the appropriate binder to achieve durable concrete pavements in cold climate regions.

PURPOSES : In this experimental study, the resistance of blended cement concrete containing air-cooled slag (AS) and water-cooled slag (WS) to freeze–thaw action was investigated. For comparison, the durable performance of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete exposed to a similar damage environment was also evaluated. METHODS : Based on the ASTM C 666 standard, the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity, mass ratio, surface electric resistivity, and compressive strength of blended cement concrete specimens were periodically measured and compared with those of OPC concrete to evaluate the durability of concrete exposed to the freezing-thawing environment. In addition, microstructural characteristics of deteriorated concrete parts were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy techniques to detect products formed by freeze–thaw action. RESULTS : It was found that the resistance of blended cement concrete containing AS and WS to freeze–thaw action was significantly better than that of OPC concrete. Furthermore, the SEM results revealed the frost damage of OPC concrete, owing to the formation of thaumasite. CONCLUSIONS : The application of AS in concrete can effectively improve the durability of concrete, particularly in freeze–thaw environments.

콘크리트의 낮은 인장강도 및 균열제어 능력 등의 약한 재료성질을 개선하기 위하여 수년간 하이브리드 섬유보강 콘크리트에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 비정질 강섬유와 유기섬유를 이용한 하이브리드 섬유보강 콘크리트에 관한 연구는 이루어지지 않은 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구의 목적은 비정질 강섬유와 유기섬유로서 폴리아미드 섬유를 이용한 하이브리드 섬유보강 콘크리트의 압축강도, 장기 건조수축 및 내동해성을 평가하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 목표 압축강도 40 및 60 MPa 각각에 대해서 하이브리드 섬유 혼입률을 전체 체적비로 1.0%로 설정하여 비정질 강섬유와 폴리아미드 섬유를 이용한 하이브리드 섬유보강 콘크리트를 제작하였다. 제작된 하이브리드 섬유보강 콘크리트의 장기 건조수축 및 내동해성을 평가한 결과, 재령 365일 및 730일에서의 장기 길이변화율은 플레인 콘크리트보다 각각 30%, 25% 이상 감소된 것으로 나타났으며, 동결융해 300 사이클 후의 내구성 지수는 90% 이상으로, 내동해성이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 염화물이 함유된 동결수에 의한 콘크리트의 내동해성을 검토하기 위하여 동결융해 및 표면스케일링 저항성을 평가하고자 하였으며, 이를 위한 배합으로서 물결합재비는 0.37, 0.42, 0.47의 3수준, 결합재 방식은 일반 OPC 콘크리트, 고로슬래그 미분말 50%의 2성분계 콘크리트 및 플라이애시 15%와 고로슬래그 미분말 35%의 3성분계 콘크리트로 설정하였다. 그 결과, 고로슬래그 미분말 50% 및 플라이애시 15%와 고로슬래그 미분말 35%의 혼합 시멘트계 콘크리트의 경우 일반 OPC 콘크리트에 비하여 동결융해 및 표면스케일링 저항성이 상대적으로 우수하게 나타났으며, 이를 통해 내구성 저하가 우려되는 해양 환경 하에서 비래염분 및 비말 등의 해수의 작용에 의한 콘크리트의 내구성 저하현상을 억제하기 위한 방안으로서 슬래그의 활용이 유효함을 확인할 수 있었다.
