Abstract

In this study, we employed Highly Ductile Cement Composite (HDCC) to evaluate the flexural performance of a RC slab that simulates the laminating structure of a seashell. To evaluate flexural performance, we produced conventional RC slab specimens, HDCC slab specimens, and HDCC-M slab specimens which biomimics a seashell's layered structure by inserting PE mesh inside the slab made of HDCC. A series of 4-point bending tests were conducted. Experimental results shows the flexural strength of the HDCC-M slab specimen was 1.7 times and 1.2 times higher than that of the RC and HDCC slab specimens, respectively. Furthermore, the ductility was evaluated using the ratio of yield deflection to maximum deflection, and it was confirmed that the HDCC slab test specimen exhibited the best ductility. This is most likely due to the fact that the inserted PE mesh separates the layers and increases ductility, while the HDCC passing through the mesh prevents the loss of load carrying capacity due to layer separation.

이 연구에서는 3D 프린팅용 HDCC를 활용하여 패류 껍질의 적층형 결합구조를 모사한 1방향 슬래브의 휨 성능을 평가하였다. 휨 성능 평가를 위하여 일반 콘크리트(RC) 및 HDCC로 일체 제작된 슬래브(HDCC)와 HDCC로 제작된 슬래브 내부에 PE-mesh를 삽입하여 층상형 구조를 모방한 슬래브(HDCC-M)를 제작하여 4점 재하 휨 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 HDCC-M 슬래브 실험체의 내력은 RC 및 HDCC 슬래브 실험체 대비 각각 1.7배 및 1.2배 높은 결과를 나타내었다. 또한, 항복 변위와 최대처짐량의 비율로 변위 연성비를 평가한 결과, HDCC 슬래브 실험체가 가장 우수한 값을 나타내었다. 이는 삽입된 PE-mesh로 인해 층을 분리하여 연성을 증가시키는 동시 mesh 체눈을 관통하는 각주형 HDCC가 로 내력손실을 방지하였기 때문이라고 판단된다.
