Abstract
This study peformed an evaluation of the physical and mechanical properties and sound absorption characteristics of porous concrete according to the target void ratio and content of the recycled aggregate in order to reduce the noise generated in roads, railroads, residential areas and downtown areas and effectively utilize the recycled waste concrete aggregate generated as a byproduct of construction. The test results demonstrated that the difference between the target void ratio and the actual measured void ratio was less than 1.7% and that the tendency of the compression strength was to reduce rapidly when the target void ratio and the content of the recycled aggregate exceeded 25% and 50%, respectively. In addition, the sound absorption characteristics of the porous concrete using recycled waste concrete aggregate showed that the NRC was the highest at the target void ratio of 25% and the content of the recycled aggregate had very little influence on the NRC. Therefore, when considering the compression strength and the sound absorption characteristics of porous concrete, the proper target void ratio and the content of the recycled waste concrete aggregate are thought to be 25% and 50%, respectively
본 연구는 도로, 철도, 주택가 및 도심지역의 소음저감과 건설부산물로 발생하는 폐콘크리트 재생골재의 유효이용을 위하여 포러스콘크리트의 목표공극률과 재생골재 혼입률에 따른 물리 역학적 특성 및 흡음특성을 평가하였다. 시험결과, 목표공극률과 실측공극률과의 차이는 1.7% 이내로 나타났고 압축강도는 목표공극률이 25%, 재생골재의 혼입률이 50%를 초과하는 경우에는 급격한 강도저하 경향을 나타냈다. 또한, 폐콘크리트 재생골재를 사용한 포러스콘크리트의 흡음 특성은 NRC의 경우 목표 공극률이 25%에서 가장 우수한 흡음특성을 나타냈으며, 재생골재의 혼입률에 따른 영향은 작은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 포러스콘크리트의 강도 및 흡음특성을 고려하였을 때 적정 목표공극률은 25%, 폐콘크리트 재생골재의 혼입률은 50% 정도가 유효한 것으로 판단된다.
