Abstract

Controlling the setting time of cementitious materials is one of the most important factors in securing early-age performance of concrete structures. Recently, the use of retarding admixtures, which enable the inhibition of some hydration products to control the securing time due to average temperature rise is suggested. Although various non-destructive evaluation methods have been proposed to evaluate cement hydration and hardening of cement-based materials to overcome the limitations of Vicat needle test, experimental research is still required to use the non-destructive evaluation method with added retarding admixtures. In this study, measurements of electrical resistivity and ultrasonic wave velocity in early-aged cement pastes were performed according to the addition of retarding admixture(tartaric acid). The setting time of the cement pastes was evaluated by obtained rising time of the both non-destructive measurements. As a result, the possibility of evaluating the setting delay in cement pastes was confirmed through comparative analysis with the initial and final setting times by Vicat test. In addition, X-ray diffraction results at the rising time of electrical resistivity showed a key hydration product affecting the setting delay.

시멘트계 재료의 응결시간 제어는 초기 콘크리트 성능 확보를 위한 중요한 평가 요소 중 하나이다. 최근 평균 기온 상승으로 특정 수화물 생성 억제 및 응결시간 제어를 위한 지연제의 사용이 권장되고 있다. 비카트 침 등 관입저항 측정 시험법의 한계를 극복하기 위해 응결시점 평가를 위한 다양한 비파괴 평가 기법이 제안되고 있지만, 지연제 사용에 따른 비파괴 평가법 사용 가능성 확보를 위해서는 여전히 실험적 연구 수행이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 타타르산 지연제를 사용하여 시멘트 페이스트의 응결 지연을 유도하고, 비카트 침 시험과 함께 전기비저항과 초음파 속도 모니터링을 수행하였다. 두 비파괴 측정 결과의 상승시점 결정을 통해 시멘트 페이스트의 응결시점을 평가하고, 비카트 침 측정을 통한 초결 및 종결 시점과의 분석으로 지연제 사용에 따른 응결 지연 현상 평가 가능성을 확인하였다. 또한 전기비저항 상승시점에 대한 X선 회절 분석을 통해 타타르산 지연제 사용에 따른 수화반응 변화를 측정하고 전기비저항 측정의 응결 지연 평가에 영향을 주는 주요 수화물을 확인하였다.
