Abstract

The adhered mortars in recycled aggregate may lower the performance of the concrete, such as by reducing in strength and durability, and cracking. In the present study, the effects of nylon fiber (NF) on the mechanical and durable properties of 100% ordinary portland cement (OPC) and 50% ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) concretes incorporating recycled coarse aggregate (RA) were experimentally investigated. Concrete was produced by adding 0 and $0.6kg/m^3$ of NF and then cured in water for the predetermined period. Measurements of compressive and split tensile strength, water permeable pore and total charge passed through concrete were carried out, and the corresponding test results were compared with those of concrete incorporating crushed coarse aggregate (CA). In addition, the microstructures of 28-day concretes were observed by using SEM technique. Test results revealed that the RA concrete showed lower performance than CA concrete because of the adhered mortars in RA. However, it was obvious that the addition of NF in RA concrete was much effective in enhancing the performance of the concretes due to the bridge effect from NF. In particular, the application of NF2 (19 mm) exhibited a somewhat beneficial effect compared with concrete incorporating NF1 with respect to mechanical properties, especially for RA concrete.

순환골재는 다량의 부착모르타르를 포함하고 있어 콘크리트의 강도감소, 내구성 저하, 균열발생의 원인이 되기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 보통포틀랜드시멘트(OPC)에 고로슬래그미분말(GGBFS)을 0 및 50% 대체한 순환 굵은골재 콘크리트의 역학적 특성 및 내구성에 대한 나일론섬유의 영향에 대하여 실험적으로 고찰하였다. 섬유보강 순환골재 콘크리트를 제조하기 위하여 섬유길이가 상이한 두 종류 나일론섬유를 0 및 $0.6kg/m^3$ 두 단계로 혼입하여 소정의 재령동안 수중양생하였다. 제조된 콘크리트의 압축 및 쪼갬 인장강도, 투수공극량 및 총통과전하량을 측정하여 섬유보강 부순골재 콘크리트의 성능과 비교, 고찰하였다. 또, 재령 28일 콘크리트를 대상으로 SEM 기법을 이용하여 미세조직구조를 관찰하였다. 실험결과에 따르면, 순환골재 콘크리트는 부순골재 콘크리트에 비하여 역학적 성능 및 내구성이 떨어지는 것을 확인하였으나, 나일론섬유를 혼입할 경우, 나일론 섬유의 가교작용으로 인하여 콘크리트의 성능을 개선시키는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, NF2(19 mm)를 사용한 콘크리트는 NF1(6 mm)을 사용한 콘크리트보다 역학적 성능이 다소 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 경향은 RA 콘크리트에서 더욱 뚜렷하게 나타났다.
