Abstract

The purpose of this research is to verify the performance of hardening accelerator in cement paste through mechanical performance evaluation and micro structure analysis on hardening accelerator for development of super high early strength concrete. The research results showed that hardening accelerator produced $Ca(OH)_2$ when hydrated with cement, enhancing the degree of saturation of Ca ion by using differential thermal analysis. Moreover, porosity was reduced rapidly as capillary pores were filled by hydration products of $C_3S$. According to the experiment using hydration measurement testing, when 1% and 3% of accelerator were mixed, hydration rate increased toward the second peak point compared to high early strength cement, before the first peak point disappeared. It turned out that adding accelerator accelerated the hydration rate of cement, especially $C_3S$. The shape of C-S-H is shown depending on the amounts of accelerator added and the production and age of $Ca(OH)_2$ by using SEM to observes hydration products. Therefore, it's evident that hardening accelerator used in this research increases amounts of $Ca(OH)_2$ and accelerates $C_3S$, it is effective for the strength development on early age.

본 연구에서는 초 조강 콘크리트 개발에 앞서서 본 연구에서 사용되는 경화촉진제에 대한 역학적 성능평가 및 미세분석을 통하여 시멘트 페이스트 내에서 경화촉진제의 성능을 검증하는 것이 목적이다. 따라서 상온양생 하에 $C_3S$를 다량 함유한 조강시멘트와 경화촉진제를 사용하는 콘크리트 재료기술에 초점을 맞추어 실험적인 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과 경화촉진제는 시멘트와의 수화반응시 Ca이온의 포화도를 높여 초기에 $Ca(OH)_2$를 생성 시키는 것을 시차열 분석법으로 검정 하였다. 또한 $C_3S$의 수화생성물이 모세관 공극을 채워 공극률 또한 빠른 시간내에 감소되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었으며 미소수화열측정시험기로 실험을 한 결과 경화촉진제를 1, 3% 혼입하였을 경우에는 조강시멘트에 비해 1차 피크점이 사라지기 전 이미 2차 피크점을 향해 수화속도가 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이는 촉진제를 첨가함에 따라 시멘트성분 중 $C_3S$의 수화속도를 촉진 시킨 결과로 판단 할 수 있다. 수화 생성물을 육안으로 관찰하기 위해서 SEM찰영을 한 결과 촉진제의 첨가량에 따라 $Ca(OH)_2$의 생성과 재령에 따라 C-S-H의 형상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 사용된 경화촉진제는 초기강도발현 시키는 것에 대해 효과적인 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.
