Abstract

High performance shotcrete has been recently researched partly as a result of high consensus on high strength and durability. However, they are very initial step compared from the advanced countries. For instance, they has been mainly on high strength or durability without any consideration on pumpability and shootability which are very crucial on workability. The purpose of this dissertation was to make a high performance wet-mix shotcrete (high workability) which would solve the general problems of wet-mix process in Korea. For this, the main experimental variables were selected to be silica fume(0.0, 4.5, 9%), air entrained agent(0.0, 0.005%). Rheology with IBB rheometer was measured for evaluating pumpability and shootability as well as pump pressure, rebound rate and build-up thickness. The conclusions from a series of experiments were as follow: The results of analyzing the effects of AE agent and silica fume on rheology indicated that AE agent reduced both of flow resistance(G) and torque viscosity(H) and silica fume increased flow resistance (G) and reduced torque viscosity(H). An increase in the value of torque viscosity(H) produces an increase in the requried pumping pressure. These result indicated that the reduction of torque would work better at improving pumpability. And an increase flow resistance(G) improved shootability(increase build-up thickness and reduce rebound).

최근 고강도 및 고내구성에 대한 인식이 높아지면서 고성능 숏크리트에 대한 연구가 일부 진행되기도 하였으나, 국외 선진국에 비하면 아직 초보 단계에 그치고 있다. 즉 강도와 내구성 평가만 일부 이루어졌고, 시공성을 대변하는 펌핑성능(Pumpability)과 뿜칠성능(Shootability)에 대한 평가가 전혀 이루어지지 않았다. 따라서 본 논문의 목표는 국내 습식 숏크리트의 고성능화에서 고시공성에 대한 연구로, 이를 위해 실리카 흄(0.0, 4.5, 9%), AE제(0.0, 0.005%)를 주요 변수로 하여 시공성 평가를 위해서 레오미터를 사용한 레올로지를 측정하였을 뿐만 아니라, 펌프압, 리바운드율, 붙임두께 등을 측정하여 비교고찰 하였다. AE제와 고성능 감수제가 레올로지 특성에 미치는 영향을 고찰한 결과 AE제는 흐름저항(Flow Resistance, G)과 토크점성(Torque Viscosity, H)이 모두 일정하게 감소되었고, 실리카 흄은 흐름저항(G)은 증가 토크점성(H)은 감소한 결과가 나타났다. 펌핑성능과 레올로지 관계에서 토크점도(H)가 증가함에 따라 필요 펌핑 압송력이 상승하는 결과를 얻었고, 뿜칠성능과 레올로지 관계에서는 흐름저항(G)가 증가할수록 최대 붙임두께는 증대 리바운드율은 감소하는 경향을 얻었다.
