Abstract

The objective of this study is to develop a high-performance foamed concrete made with a new mixture proportioning as an alternative of autoclaved lightweight concrete (ALC) block. For the early-strength gain of the foamed concrete under an atmospheric curing condition, the binders and chemical agents were specially contrived as follows: 3% anhydrous gypsum was added to ordinary portland cement (OPC) in which $3CaO{\cdot}SiO_2$ content was controlled to be above 60%; and the content of polyethylene glycol alkylether in a polycarboxylate-based water-reducing agent was modified to be 28%. Using these binders and chemical agents, 11 mixes were prepared with the parameters of W/B ratio (30% to 20% in a interval of 2.5%) and unit binder content ($400kg/m^3$ to $650kg/m^3$ in a interval of $50kg/m^3$). The quality and availability of the mixed foamed concrete were examined according to the minimum requirements specified in the KS for ALC block and existed conventional foamed concrete. The measured properties satisfied the minimum requirement of KS for ALC block and proved that the developed high-performance foamed concrete had considerable potential for practical application.

본 연구의 목적은 ALC 블록대체를 위한 고성능 기포콘크리트 배합설계를 개발하는 것이다. 대기양생 하에서 기포콘크리트의 고강도 발현(특히 초기재령에서)을 위하여 결합재 및 혼화제를 사전연구에서 다음과 같이 설계하였다. 규산3칼슘이 60% 이상인 보통포틀랜드시멘트에 무수석고 3%를 첨가하였으며, 폴리카르본산계 감수제에서 폴리알킬에테르 성분을 28%로 조절하였다. 이들 재료를 사용하여 물-결합재비와 단위결합재양을 변수로 기포콘크리트 11배합을 실험하였다. 배합된 기포콘크리트의 품질 및 실용성은 KS 규격의 ALC 블록의 요구조건 및 기존의 일반 기포콘크리트와 비교하였다. 실험결과 본 연구의 고성능 기포콘크리트는 ALC 블록의 요구조건을 만족하면서 높은 실용가능성을 보였다.
