Numerical Investigation on Cracking of Bridge Deck Slabs with Latex Modified Concrete Overlays

라텍스 개질 콘크리트 교량 교면 포장부 균열에 대한 수치해석 연구

  • Published : 2010.02.28

Abstract

Latex modified concrete (LMC) exhibits improved material properties including high tensile strength and durability compared with conventional concrete, and hence LMC has been used as protective layers over the bridge deck slabs to increase their service life with underlying assumption of excellent bond behavior between the LMC overlay and the concrete substrate. In this study, the effect of the primary parameters of the concrete substrate (i.e., shrinkage, stiffness and cracking capacity) as well as the LMC overlay thickness on the probability of cracking of the bridge deck slabs using LMC overlays was investigated by carrying out the finite element analysis that simulated the bond behavior of LMC overlays on normal strength concrete (NSC) and HPC bridge deck slabs. Based on the results of the numerical analysis, it is concluded that the relatively high shrinkage strains and stiffness of HPC slabs can increase its probability of cracking in bridge deck slabs using LMC overlay.

라텍스개질콘크리트(LMC)는 일반 콘크리트에 비하여 인장강도와 내구성 등 개선된 재료 특성을 가지고 있으며, 따라서 교량 데크 슬래브의 생애주기를 증대시키기 위하여 교면 포장재로 많이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 사용에는 LMC 포장부와 콘크리트 모반 사이의 우수한 부착성능이 전제된다. 한편 교량 데크 슬래브의 구조적 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 고성능 콘크리트(HPC) 슬래브가 현재 사용되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 일반 콘크리트(NSC) 또는 HPC 교량 데크 슬래브에 타설된 LMC 포장부의 부착거동을 모사하기 위하여, 유한요소해석을 이용한 변수 연구가 수행되었다. 이 연구에서 콘크리트 모반의 수축, 강성, 균열강도와 LMC 포장부의 두께가 콘크리트-LMC 포장부의 균열 발생에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 수치해석연구 결과, HPC 슬래브는 높은 수축량과 강성으로 인하여 콘크리트-LMC 교면 포장부에 균열을 유발할 가능성이 높은 것으로 사료된다.
