PURPOSES : The use of roller-compacted concrete pavement (RCCP) is an environmentally friendly method of construction that utilizes the aggregate interlock effect by means of a hydration reaction and roller compacting, demonstrating a superb structural performance with a relatively small unit water content and unit cement content. However, even if an excellent structural performance was secured through a previous study, the verification research on the environmental load and long-term durability was conducted under unsatisfactory conditions. In order to secure longterm durability, the construction of an appropriate internal air-void structure is required. In this study, a method of improving the long-term durability of RCCP will be suggested by analyzing the internal air-void structure and relevant durability of roller-compacted concrete. METHODS: The method of improving the long-term durability involves measurements of the air content, air voids, and air-spacing factor in RCCP that experiences a change in terms of the kind of air-entraining agent and chemical admixture proportions. This test should be conducted on the basis of test criteria such as ASTM C 457, 672, and KS F 2456. RESULTS : Freezing, thawing, and scaling resistance tests of roller compacted concrete without a chemical admixture showed that it was weak. However, as a result of conducting air entraining (AE) with an AE agent, a large amount of air was distributed with a range of 2~3%, and an air void spacing factor ranging from 200 to 300 ㎛ (close to 250 ㎛) coming from PCA was secured. Accordingly, the freezing and thawing resistance was improved, with a relative dynamic elastic modulus of more than 80%, and the scaling resistance was improved under the appropriate AE agent content rate. CONCLUSIONS: The long-term durability of RCCP has a direct relationship with the air-void spacing factor, and it can be secured only by ensuring the air void spacing factor through air entraining with the inclusion of an AE agent.
본 연구에서는 페로니켈슬래그 기반 무기계 바인더와 혼합된 콘크리트를 사용한 강성관에 대하여 관로 내부 조사를 실시하였고, 경사계 및 스트레인게이지를 부착한 후 장기 계측을 위한 자동화계측시스템을 설치하여 장기 데이터를 분석하였다. 개발한 강성관과 일반관은 내부 상태를 촬영한 결과 모두 이상상태가 발견되지 않았고, 장기 변형률도 매우 유사한 결과가 측정되었다. 이를 통해 개발된 강성관은 상용품으로 활용하는데 문제가 없을 것으로 판단된다.
