Abstract

In this study, RCPTs (Rapid Chloride Penetration Test) were performed for fly ash concrete with curing age of 4 ~ 6 years. The concrete mixtures were prepared with 3 levels of water to binder ratio (0.37, 0.42, and 0.47) and 2 levels of substitution ratio of fly ash (0 and 30%), and the improved passed charges of chloride ion behavior were quantitatively analyzed. Additionally, the results were trained through the univariate time series models consisted of GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit) algorithm and those from the models were evaluated. As the result of the RCPT, fly ash concrete showed the reduced passed charges with period and an more improved resistance to chloride penetration than OPC concrete. At the final evaluation period (6 years), fly ash concrete showed 'Very low' grade in all W/B (water to binder) ratio, however OPC concrete showed 'Moderate' grade in the condition with the highest W/B ratio (0.47). The adopted algorithm of GRU for this study can analyze time series data and has the advantage like operation efficiency. The deep learning model with 4 hidden layers was designed, and it provided a reasonable prediction results of passed charge. The deep learning model from this study has a limitation of single consideration of a univariate time series characteristic, but it is in the developing process of providing various characteristics of concrete like strength and diffusion coefficient through additional studies.

본 연구에서는 장기재령(4~6년)으로 양생된 플라이애시 콘크리트를 대상으로 촉진 염화물 이온 통과 시험을 수행하였다. 콘크리트 배합은 3수준의 물-결합재 비(0.37, 0.42, 0.47)와 2수준의 플라이애시 치환율(0, 30 %)을 가지고 있었으며, 시간 의존적으로 개선되는 통과 전하량을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 또한 실험결과를 GRU 알고리즘을 고려한 단별량 시계열 모델을 적용하여 학습하였으며, 그 예측값을 평가하였다. 통과전하량 실험 결과, 플라이애시 콘크리트는 물-결합재 비에 의한 통과 전하량의 변화가 재령이 증가함에 따라 점차 감소하였으며 OPC 콘크리트에 비하여 우수한 염해저항성을 나타내었다. 최종 평가일인 6년에서 플라이애시 콘크리트는 모든 물 결합재 비 조건에서 'Very low' 등급에 해당되는 통과 전하량이 평가되었지만, OPC 콘크리트의 경우 가장 높은 물-결합재 비를 갖는 조건에서 'Moderate' 등급을 나타내었다. 메인 알고리즘으로서 사용한 GRU 알고리즘은 시계열 데이터를 분석할 수 있고 연산 속도가 빠른 장점을 갖고 있다. 4개의 은닉층을 갖는 딥-러닝 모델이 고려되었으며 결과값은 실험값을 합리적으로 예측하고 있었다. 본 연구의 딥-러닝 모델은 단변량 시계열 특성만을 고려할 수 있는 한계점이 존재하지만 추가 연구를 통해 콘크리트의 강도 및 확산계수와 같은 다양한 특성을 고려할 수 있는 모델이 개발 중에 있다.
