An Experimental Study on the Waste Polyethylene Aggregate for Construction Materials

폐비닐 골재의 기본특성에 관한 연구

The aggregate out of waste polyethylene was made in order to recycle waste polyethylene wasted in the country side. Many physical and mechanical experiments which include leaching test, specific gravity test, compaction test, LA abrasion test, large-scaled shear test, and permeability test were performed for the waste polyethylene aggregate. The thermal conductivity test, unfrozen water content test and frost heave test were also performed. The temperature distribution for both gravels and waste polyethylene aggregate, which were constructed in the frost heave layer in the field, was measured in winter season of continuous 2 years and compared.

농촌 비닐하우스 등에서 발생하는 폐비닐을 재활용하기 위한 방법의 하나로 폐비닐을 이용하여 골재를 만들었다. 이 골재에 대하여 용출시험, 비중시험, 다짐시험, LA마모시험, 대형전단시험, 투수시험 등 물리적, 역학적 시험을 실시하였다. 또한 폐비닐골재에 대한 열전도시험, 부동수분시험, 동상시험을 실시하였으며, 현장에서 폐비닐골재와 자갈을 도로 동상방지층에 포설한 후 두 해 겨울철에 걸쳐 각각의 온도분포를 측정하여 그 결과를 비교하였다.
