Abstract

The civil engineering properties for the coal fly ash produced from a power plant mixed with sintered powders made from the fly ash-clay slip system were measured and its applicability for the foundation soils was investigated. The F-slip whose dispersion state is 'not good' and C-slip which is re-flocculated by adding a flocculant to a well-dispersed slip were fabricated and then sintered. The sintered body made from C-slip had more uniform microstructure than that of F-slip, therefore, the bulk density and compressive strength were improved. The civil engineering properties such as compression index, compressive strength, permeability coefficient of fly ash were improved by mixing $0.84{\sim}2\;mm$ powders obtained by crushing a sintered body made from C-slip. Therefore, the applicability of mixed powders composing of fly ash and sintered body made from C-slip was confirmed to foundation soils due to its improved civil engineering properties.

비산재-점토 계 슬립으로부터 제조된 소결체 분쇄 분말을 화력발전소에서 배출되는 비산재와 혼합하여 그 토목공학적 특성을 측정하고 기반재로의 적용가능성을 조사하였다. 분산이 잘 되지 않은 비산재-점토 계 슬립(F-slip)과 이를 분산 시킨 후 재응집시킨 슬립(C-slip)을 제조하고 이로부터 소성체를 합성하였다. C-slip으로부터 제조된 소결체가 F-slip 경우 보다 더 균일한 미세구조를 나타냈으며 따라서 그 밀도 및 강도가 더 높았다. C-slip으로 부터 소성된 소결체를 파쇄한 뒤 $0.84{\sim}2\;mm$ 입자를 추출하여 순수 비산재에 섞은 혼합분말은 압축지수, 압축강도 그리고 투수계수 등 토목공학적 물성이 순수 비산재에 비하여 향상되었다. 따라서 슬립 공정으로 제조된 분말을 비산재에 혼합하게 되면 그 역학적 특성이 개선되어 기반재 또는 기층재로의 적용 가능성이 향상됨을 확인하였다.
