Abstract

Recently, the evaluation technique using NDT (Nondestructive Technique : NDT) is widely utilized because it makes little damage on RC (Reinforced Concrete : RC) structures. The techniques using electromagnetic properties (EM properties) are also attempted for the evaluation of the performance of concrete which is nonmetallic. For the economic manufacturing of concrete material, sea-sand is often used as aggregate, however, chloride ion in concrete has direct effects on steel corrosion and EM properties. In this study, OPC mortar specimens with 5 different chloride amount (0.0, 0.6, 1.2, 2.4, and $3.6kg/m^3$) and 3 different water-cement ratios (45%, 55%, and 65%) are prepared in order to investigate the EM properties corresponding to concrete properties. The EM properties of conductivity and dielectric constant are measured in the frequency range over 0.2~20 GHz. To facilitate the comparison of EM properties with chloride content, average values are taken respectively for the conductivity and dielectric constant measured over the 5~20 GHz frequency range. According to the results of this experiment, dielectric constant and conductivity are increased with lower W/C ratio and larger amount of chloride content.

최근들어 구조물에 직접적인 손상을 주지 않는 비파괴평가를 통한 콘크리트 구조물의 성능평가에 대한 연구가 다양하게 진행되고 있으며, 특히 비자성체인 시멘트계 재료의 특성을 이용하여, 전자기 특성을 콘크리트에 적용하려는 연구가 시도되고 있다. 경제적인 콘크리트 생산을 위하여 해사가 잔골재로서 많이 사용되는 현실을 감안할 때, 철근의 부식에 직접적으로 관여하는 콘크리트 내부 염화물이 콘크리트의 재료적 특성에 미치는 영향 또한 중요한 연구과제 중의 하나이며, 본 연구에서는 이와 연계한 전자기 특성 변화를 중점적으로 살펴보고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 5가지의 다른 염화물 함유량(0.0, 0.6, 1.2, 2.4, $3.6kg/m^3$)이 포함된 보통포틀랜트시멘트(Ordinary Portland Cement : OPC) 모르타르를 이용하여 유전상수를 측정하고 그 변화를 분석하였다. 각 시편은 3가지 물-시멘트비(45%, 55%, 65%)를 가지도록 하였으며, 0.2~20 GHz의 영역에서 유전상수(dielectric constant)와 전도율(conductivity)이 측정되었다. 전자기 특성과 염화물량의 변화를 용이하도록 하기 위하여, 5~20 GHz 영역에서의 전도율 및 유전상수의 평균값이 사용되었다. 각각의 전자기 특성들은 물-시멘트비가 낮을수록 높게 평가되었으며, 염화물량의 증가에 따라 측정값이 증가하였다.
