PURPOSES : In this study, heating concrete is developed using heating artificial binder, which is more conductive and less expensive than ordinary Portland cement, and the heating effect is verified through laboratory tests and numerical analysis. METHODS : Based on the test results, the range of heat influence of the Heating concrete is calculated through numerical analysis. As a result of the laboratory test, the temperature rises to 58℃ after 10 minutes when heat generation started at the outdoor temperature of 12℃ and the initial temperature of the concrete specimen of 19.1℃. RESULTS : The heating effect is up to 50 cm in width and 90 cm in height centered on the heating concrete through numerical analysis to analyze the influence range of the Heating concrete based on the laboratory test results. However, when the distance from the heating concrete is greater than about 20 cm, the influence becomes very small, and the rate of temperature decrease drops significantly. CONCLUSIONS : From the test and numerical analysis, it can be used as an eco-friendly heating material suitable for concrete pavements.
Decommissioning waste is generated with various types and large quantities within a short period. Concrete, a significant building material for nuclear facilities, is one of the largest decommissioning wastes, which is mixed with aggregate, sand, and cement with water by the relevant mixing ratio. Recently, the proposed treatment method for volume reduction of radioactive concrete waste was proven up to scale-up testing using unit equipment, which involved sequentially thermomechanical and chemical treatment. According to studies, the aggregate as non-radioactive material is separated from cement components with contaminated radionuclides as less than clearance criteria, so the volume of radioactive concrete waste is decreased effectively. However, some supplementation points were presented to commercialize the process. Hence, the process requires efficiency as possible to minimize the interface parts, either by integration or rearranging the equipment. In this study, feasibility testing was performed using integrated heating and grinding equipment, to supplement the possible issue of generated powder and dust during the process. Previously, heat treatment and grinding devices were configured separately for pilot-scale testing. But some problems such as leakage and pipe blockage occurred during the transportation of generated fine powder, which caused difficulties in maintaining the equipment. For that reason, we studied to reduce the interface between the equipment by integrating and rearranging the equipment. To evaluate the thermal grinding performance, the fraction of coarse and concrete fines based on 1mm particle size was measured, and the amount of residual cement in each part was analyzed by wet analysis using 4M hydrochloric acid. The result was compared with previous studies and the thermomechanical equipment could be selected to enhance the process. Therefore, it is expected that the equipment for commercialization could be optimized and composed the process compactly by this study.
As a result of evaluating the spalling properties using a restrained ring-type concrete specimen, in the case of rapid heating, the water vapor pressure rapidly rise and the surface spalling is repeated. In the case of low-speed heating, The water vapor pressure accumulated in the concrete exceeded the limit, and explosive spalling occurred inside.
In this paper, evaluation of compressive strength development of concrete cured by microwave heating system is introduced. For this evaluation, core strength tests were conducted. Test results show that the development was accelerated by microwave heating system. And two parameters in a equation for predicting initial strength development were presented when using this system.
화재시 콘크리트의 성능저하는 재하조건, 열팽창 및 크리프 등과 같은 여러 가지 요인에 대하여 영향을 받을 수 있다. 1950년대부터 일본, 유럽, 미국과 같은 선진외국에서는 고온을 받은 콘크리트의 특성에 관하여 많은 연구들이 행해지고 있으나 재하조건, 가열방법, 시험체의 크기 및 가열장치의 성능 등과 같은 다양한 요인들이 연구자들의 독자적인 방법에 의해 실험이 진행되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 시험체 크기, 가열속도, 시험방법이 유사한 일본 및 국내의 연구를 바탕으로 가열 및 재하를 받은 콘크리트의 역학적 성능에 대하여 분석하였으며, 상온 및 고온에서의 상관관계분석, 압축강도 추정곡선을 산출하여 CEN 및 CEB code와 비교․평가하였다. 그 결과 재하가열을 받은 콘크리트는 100℃~400℃의 범위에서 역학적 특성에 대한 재평가의 필요성을 확인하였다.
본 연구는 고강도 콘크리트의 복합유기섬유 혼입률 변화 및 ISO와 RABT의 가열온도곡선 변화에 따른 내화시험을 실시한 후 폭렬방지성상 및 잔존압축강도 특성 등을 분석한 것으로, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 복합유기섬유 혼입 콘크리트의 기초적 특성으로 유동성은 섬유혼입률이 증가할수록 직선적으로 저하하는 경향이었고, 공기량은 약간의 증가 또는 감소의 경향은 있었으나 큰 차이 없었으며, 28 일 압축강도는 완만한 감소경향을 나타내었다. 내화특성으로, RABT 가열온도곡선의 경우는 ISO 가열온도곡선에 비해 복합유기섬유 혼입률이 많은 범위까지 폭렬양상을 나타내었으나, 주로 박리폭렬일뿐 내부까지 극심한 폭렬양상은 발생하지 않았다. 결국 W/B 25%인 고강도 콘크리트의 경우 ISO 가열온도곡선은 섬유의 혼입률 0.04%이상에서, RABT 가열온도곡선의 경우는 섬유의 혼입률 0.10%이상에서 폭렬이 방지되는 것으로 나타났다. 가열온도곡선 변화에 따른 질량감소율은 폭렬이 방지된 경우 ISO 가열온도곡선은 7%전후, RABT 가열온도곡선은 9%전후로 나타났다. 가열온도곡선변화에 따른 잔존압축강도율은 폭렬이 방지된 경우 ISO 가열온도곡선은 50%~60%, RABT 가열온도곡선은 30%~35%를 나타내었다.
