Abstract

This study intends to develop an eco-friendly concrete panel mixed with biochars. Experiments about mechanical and thermal properties were conducted on porous biochar concrete, which has insulation and carbon-capture performance. The concrete has a mixing ratio of 0, 5, 10, and 15 % for biochar and a water-binder ratio of 0.35. The unit weight, porosity, and permeability were measured to evaluate the mechanical characteristics. From the results, as the biochar mixing rate increased, the porosity and the permeability increased, but the unit weight decreased. Even though a decreased trend was observed in the compressive strength results, they satisfied the design standard. Since the thermal conductivity was decreased during the increase of contents, biochar could be considered an excellent material for insulation performance. In addition, regression analyses were conducted regarding the relationship of unit weight with porosity, compressive strength with thermal conductivity, and porous with thermal conductivity. From the regression, significant variables for expanding the scope of the application of biochar were presented.

본 연구에서는 바이오차를 혼입한 친환경 콘크리트 패널을 개발하고자 한다. 단열성능과 탄소 포집이 가능한 바이오차를 혼입시킨 다공성 콘크리트의 물리적 특성, 역학적 특성 및 열적 특성 실험을 수행하였다. 다공성 콘크리트 배합은 바이오차 혼입율 0, 5, 10 및 15 %와 물-시멘트 비를 0.35로 고정하여 배합조건을 구성하였다. 기본 역학적 특성을 평가하기 위해 단위중량, 총 공극률 및 투수계수를 측정하였다. 바이오차 혼입율이 증가함에 따라 총 공극률과 투수계수는 증가하지만 단위중량은 감소하였다. 콘크리트 압축강도는 바이오차 혼입율이 증가할수록 감소하지만 설계기준 압축강도 이상을 확보하였다. 열전도율은 바이오차 혼입율이 증가할수록 감소하는 경향을 나타내어 단열성능에 뛰어난 재료임을 증명하였다. 또한 회귀분석을 통해 다공성 콘크리트의 단위중량, 총 공극률, 콘크리트 압축강도 및 열전도율과 상관관계를 제시하였다. 상관관계 분석을 통해 바이오차의 적용 범위를 확대하기 위한 주요 변수를 제시하였다.
