PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to evaluate the mechanical properties of ternary blended cement concrete incorporated with pulverized reject ash (PRA) or pulverized fuel ash (PFA) based on a comparison with those of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete.
METHODS : To produce the concretes, the level of OPC replacement is set at 60%, which comprises 30%~45% ground granulate blast furnace slag and 15%~25% of fly ash (FA). The FA can be categorized into PFA, 4PRA (fineness 3,930 cm2/g3), and 8PRA (fineness 7,840 cm2/g3). The compressive strength, surface electric resistivity, initial absorption coefficient, and chloride ion penetrability of OPC and the ternary blended cement concrete are measured at predetermined periods after water curing.
RESULTS : It is discovered that the mechanical properties of concrete with 8PRA are better than those of OPC concrete. The performance of 4PRA concrete is worse than that of 8PRA concrete, indicating that the fineness of the PRA can affect the mechanical properties of the ternary blended cement concrete.
CONCLUSIONS : The use of PRA is feasible for the production of ternary blended cement concrete, provided that the appropriate mix design and grinding technology are used.
본 연구는 초고강도콘크리트의 배합에 사용되는 3성분계 혼합시멘트의 최적조합을 도출하기 위한 실험연구이다. 3성분계 혼합시멘트는 포틀랜드시멘트, 고로슬래브 미분말 0%, 30%, 40%, 50% 및 플라이애시 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%로 구성하였다. 물결합재비 0.18의 초고강도콘크리트를 대상으로 각 실험체의 압축강도와 공극구조를 조사한 결과, 플라이애시 10%, 고로슬래그 미분말 30%를 혼합한 3성분계 혼합시멘트를 사용한 콘크리트의 압축강도는, 50nm 이상의 공극량 감소에 의해, Plain 콘크리트에 비해 현저히 증가하였다.
