Abstract

In order to develop future construction technology, research is actively being conducted on concrete construction technology using 3D printing, which is currently in the spotlight as a future industry in domestic and foreign construction industries and academia. However, 3D printing technology is currently being developed and does not meet the requirements for proper construction technology and the properties of concrete materials, and it is difficult to apply in the actual field. Research is also needed for the durability management and maintenance of constructed structures. This work compares the compressive and flexural strength to that produced in conventional molds by dividing the 3D printed concrete output by the laminated X, Y, and Z axes. The compressive strength of a test specimen in the II Z-axis test direction was 8-10% higher than that of the other test directions (I and III Y axes and X axis). The strength was 4% lower than that of a molded test specimen. As of 28th of the age, the bending strength of the test specimen in the Z-axis direction was 5 to 7% higher than that of the I and III Y, and X-axis test directions, and the strength was 2% lower than that of the molded test specimen.

현재 미래의 건설 산업 기술을 발전시키고자 최근 미래 산업으로 각광받고있는 3D 프린팅을 이용한 콘크리트의 시공기술을 활용하여 구조물을 건설하는 연구가 국내외 건설업계 및 학계에서 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 현재 개발되고 있는 3D 프린팅 기술은 적합한 시공기술, 콘크리트 재료 자체의 물성이 사용기준에 미치지 못하고 실제 현장에서 적용하기가 어려운 상황이다. 또한 시공된 구조물에 대한 내구성 관리 및 유지관리를 위한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 Material extrusion 방식으로 출력한 3D 프린팅 콘크리트를 각각의 적층 방향 X, Y, Z축으로 나누어 측정한 압축강도와 휨강도를 기존의 몰드에 제작한 시험체와 비교 분석하였다. Test direction II Z축의 시험체의 압축강도가 나머지 Test direction I, III Y축, X축의 시험체에 비하여 8~10%의 높은 강도를 발현하였고 몰드 제작 시험체와 비교하였을 경우 4%가량 낮은 강도를 발현하였다. 휨강도 측정결과 재령 28일 기준으로 Test direction II Z축 방향의 시험체의 휨강도가 Test direction I, III Y축, X축의 시험체에 비하여 5~7%의 높은 강도를 발현하였고 몰드 제작 시험체와 비교하였을 경우 2%가량 낮은 강도를 나타내었다.
