Abstract

The objective of the present study is to establish a straightforward mixture proportioning procedure for structural lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC), and evaluate the selection range of the targeted dry density of concrete against the designed concrete compressive strength. In developing this procedure, mathematical models were formulated based on a nonlinear regression analysis over 347 data sets and two boundary conditions of the absolute volume and dry density of concrete. The proposed procedure demonstrated the appropriate water-to-cement ratio and dry density of concrete to achieve the designed strength decrease with the increase in volumetric ratio of coarse aggregates. This trend was more significant in all-LWAC than in sand-LWAC. Overall, the selection range of the dry density of LWAC exists within a certain range according to the designed strength, which can be obtained using the proposed procedure.

본 연구의 목적은 구조용 경량골재 콘크리트의 배합설계 절차를 확립하고, 설계강도로부터 콘크리트 목표 기건밀도의 범위를 평가하는 것이다. 본 절차를 확립하기 위해, 기존 347 실험데이터의 비선형 회귀분석 및 두 경계조건 (절대용적 및 콘크리트 기건밀도)에 기반한 수학적 모델을 구성하였다. 배합설계 모델제시 결과, 설계강도에 대한 물-시멘트비와 콘크리트 기건밀도는 굵은골재 체적비의 증가와 함께 감소하는데, 이 경향은 모래 경량보다는 전 경량골재 콘크리트에서 현저하였다. 경량골재 콘크리트의 기건단위는 설계강도에 따라 임의의 범위에서 설정되어야 하는데, 이는 제시된 모델에 의해 평가될 수 있다.
