Abstract

The non-destructive method of easily evaluating concrete strength through the concept of maturity has been verified by many researchers. The current work introduced such a concept in concrete strength assessment that involved 843 variables and specific values that 11 papers used in experiments, including constant temperatures (5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50℃) with a W/B range of 18 to 70% and different curing ages (0.5 to 182 days). The classification of concrete as being of normal-strength concrete (40MPa or less), high-strength concrete (40~70MPa), and Super high-strength concrete (70MPa or more) enabled this study to identify the relationship between maturity and concrete strength using the most convenient and easily applicable maturity model in the construction field. A regression formula of lowest guaranteed concrete strength on the basis of maturity was presented.

비파괴적으로 콘크리트 강도를 간편하게 구할 수 있는 방법으로 적산온도(Maturity) 개념을 통한 콘크리트 강도 추정방법이 많은 연구자를 통하여 검증되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 적산온도 개념을 도입하여 콘크리트 강도를 평가하고자 하는데, 11편 논문의 실험결과에서 W/B=18~70%의 범위에서 일정한 온도(5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50℃)와 다양한 재령(0.5~182일)에 따른 843개의 실험값을 가지고 가장 간편한 적산온도 모델을 사용하고, 강도별로 보통강도 콘크리트(40Mpa이하), 고강도콘크리트(40~70MPa), 초고강도 콘크리트(70MPa 이상)로 구분하여 현장에서 쉽게 적용할 수 있는 적산온도와 콘크리트 강도관계를 도출하고, 적산온도에 따른 최저 보증 콘크리트 압축강도 추정식을 제시하였다.
