Abstract

In this study, the evolution of electrical impedance of electric nodes was investigated to determine the setting time of cement paste using the electrical impedance spectroscopy method. The electric nodes were embedded in fresh cement paste and the electrical impedance signatures were continuously monitored. Vicat needle test and semi-adiabatic calorimetry test were also conducted to validate the electrical impedance spectroscopy method. During hydration period of cement paste, the magnitude of conductance gradually increased, and then started to decrease rapidly at a first certain time. After that, the magnitude of conductance gradually decreased at a second certain time. The times of turning point in the curves of magnitude of conductance seem to be related with the setting time by Vicat needle test. Also, the setting times by the electrical impedance spectroscopy method are well posed within the setting period estimated by the semi-adiabatic calorimetry test. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the setting time of cement paste can be effectively monitored through the electrical impedance spectroscopy method.

본 연구에서는 전기 임피던스 분광법을 이용하여 시멘트계 재료의 응결 시점을 평가하였다. 시멘트 페이스트 시편을 제작한 후 전기노드를 매립하여 전기 임피던스 응답 스펙트럼의 변화를 연속적으로 모니터링하였으며, 이와 동시에 간이단열시험을 통한 수화온도측정과 비카트침 시험을 함께 수행하였다. 전기 임피던스 분광법에서는 시멘트 페이스트의 수화와 동시에 컨덕턴스가 서서히 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다. 이후, 특정시점에 이르러 컨덕턴스는 급격히 감소하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 이후 또다른 특정시점에서 완만하게 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 이러한 특정 시점은 간이단열시험 및 비카트침 시험에 의해 측정된 응결시점과 부합하는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 전기 임피던스 분광법을 이용하여 시멘트계 재료의 응결을 효과적으로 모니터링하는 것이 가능하리라 판단된다.
