In this study, to analyze the change of mass of concrete structure subjected to fire damage, cement paste was exposed at high temperature to maintenance time and analyzed mass change characteristics by TGA analysis. As a result of analysis, the mass reduction rate of cement paste decreased with increasing heating time after heating at high temperature.
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is a thermal analysis technique that the mass of sample is measured by time and temperature changes. In this study, TGA was applied for estimating the proportion of Nylon-6,6 nanofibers in the cement paste as well as the decomposition temperature of Nylon-6,6 nanofibers. An electrospinning process was conducted for producing nanofibers and adding directly into the cement powder. The TGA results show that there was approximately 0.5 % of nanofibers in the composite pastes. Besides, the decomposition temperature of Nylon-6,6 nanofibers was clarified in the range of 300℃ to 410℃.
In this study proximate analysis method was applied to food waste, mold, sewage sludge, PKS, PET in considering the characteristics of individual waste. It has been observed that this proximate analysis method based on the characteristics of individual waste required to dry the waste for more than 180 min, until the moisture contents reached the range of 105oC ~ 110oC and they reached the constant weight. Also it has been suggested that 7 min of ignition at 950oC for volatile matters and 120 ~ 180 min of ignition at max. 815oC for ash were recommended.
