Abstract

This study is aimed at controlling the fiber orientation and improve the fiber distribution in fiber-reinforced cement composites using blades that can be placed inside the existing nozzles. To optimize the blade parameters, multi-physics finite element analysis was performed that could account for the flow of the cementitious matrix material, the movement of the entrained fibers, and the interactions with the nozzle. As a result, this study defined the blade distance, length, and position as a function of the fiber length to be used in the field. The blades with a distance from 1.2 to 2.4 times the fiber length and length from 4 to 8 times the fiber length, as well as located at below 14 times the fzfiber length from the nozzle exit maintained the fiber orientation angle less than $5^{\circ}$. In addition, the blade-type nozzle proposed in the study can be attachable and detachable to the conventional casting equipment, and thus it can provide the usability and convenience in practical applications.

본 연구는 기존에 사용되어 지고 있는 타설 노즐 내부에 블레이드를 설치함으로써 타설 시 시멘트 복합체에 혼입된 섬유의 방향성을 제어하고 동시에 분포도를 향상시키고자 하였다. 블레이드 변수 최적화를 위하여 시멘트계 매트릭스 재료의 유동과 혼입된 섬유의 운동, 노즐간의 상호작용을 고려한 다중물리계 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 사용되는 섬유길이를 변수로 하여 블레이드의 간격, 길이, 위치를 결정하였다. 내부 블레이드 간격이 섬유길이의 약 1.2~2.4배, 블레이드 길이는 섬유길이의 약 4~8배, 설치 위치는 시멘트 복합체가 도출되는 입구에서부터 섬유길이의 14배 이하일 때 섬유 방향각이 약 $15^{\circ}$이하로 제어되었다. 또한, 본 연구에서 제시된 블레이드형 노즐은 기존의 섬유보강 시멘트 복합체 타설장비와 타설관을 그대로 사용하면서, 탈 부착식으로 제작될 수 있어 사용성과 편의성을 동시에 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
