Abstract

This paper describes the effect of aggregate size on compressive behavior of high-strength steel fiber reinforced concrete. The Specified compression strength is 60 MPa and the range of fiber volume fraction is 0~2%. The main variable is the aggregate size, which was used for the aggregate size of 8 and 20 mm. So, ten concrete mixtures were prepared and tested to evaluate the fresh and hardened properties of SFRC at curing ages (7, 14, 28, 56 and 91 days), respectively. Items estimated in this study are the fresh properties (air contents, slump), hardened properties (compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, post-peak response and compressive toughness). As a result, the aggregate size has little effect on the compressive strength and modulus of elasticity. On the other hand, the ductile behavior was shown after post peak and the compressive toughness was increasing as decreasing the aggregate size. These effects are clearly represented in the fiber volume fraction 2%, which are the point appeared fiber ball. It is considered that the decreasing the aggregate size has effect on the fiber dispersibility.

콘크리트는 압축강도가 증가할수록 취성적인 성질이 두드러지는데, 이를 보완하기 위해 강섬유를 혼입하여 콘크리트에 연성을 부여하는 강섬유 보강 콘크리트에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 강섬유 보강 콘크리트는 섬유 혼입률에 따라 역학적 특성이 달라지며, 일반적으로 1.5%의 혼입률이 가장 효과적인 것으로 알려져 있다. 섬유 혼입률 2%를 초과하게 되면 섬유 뭉침현상이 발생하는데, 이로 인해 역학적 특성이 저하된다. 본 연구에서는 2% 이상의 높은 혼입률에서 섬유의 분산성을 향상시키기 위해 굵은 골재 크기를 변수로 재령에 따른 강섬유 보강 콘크리트의 압축거동에 대해 평가하였다. 굵은 골재 크기에 따른 굳지 않은 성상, 압축강도, 탄성계수 및 압축인성 등을 평가한 결과 섬유 혼입률이 증가할수록 공기량은 증가하였으며, 공기량이 증가함에 따라서 슬럼프는 감소하였다. 또한 골재 크기가 압축강도 및 탄성계수에 미치는 영향은 미소하였지만, 섬유의 분산성을 향상시켜 압축인성 및 최대하중 이후 거동에 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 강섬유 보강 콘크리트의 압축인성은 재령이 지날수록 감소하게 되는데, 굵은 골재 크기가 감소할수록 압축인성의 감소율이 줄어들어 보다 안정적인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서 나타난 것과 같이 강섬유 보강 콘크리트의 굵은 골재 크기를 조절하여 높은 혼입률을 갖는 강섬유 보강 콘크리트의 섬유 분산성과 연성적인 거동을 부여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
