Abstract

The rheological properties of fresh concrete significantly influence its manufacturing and performance. However, the diversification of newly developed mixtures and manufacturing techniques has made it challenging to accurately predict these properties using traditional empirical methods. This study introduces a multiscale rheological property prediction model designed to quantitatively anticipate the rheological characteristics from nano-scale interparticle interactions, such as those among cement particles, to micro-scale behaviors, such as those involving fine aggregates. The Yield Stress Model (YODEL), the Chateau-Ovarlez-Trung equation, and the Krieger-Dougherty equation were utilized to predict the yield stress for cement paste and mortar, as well as the plastic viscosity. Initially, predictions were made for the paste scale, using the water-cement ratio (W/C) of the cement paste. These predictions then served as a basis for further forecasting of the rheological properties at the mortar scale, incorporating the same W/C and adding the cement-sand volume ratio (C/S). Lastly, the practicality of the predictive model was assessed by comparing the forecasted outcomes to experimental results obtained from rotational rheometer.

굳지 않은 콘크리트의 유변특성은 콘크리트의 제조 및 성능에 중요한 영향을 미치지만, 새롭게 개발되는 배합과 제조 공법의 다양화로 인하여 기존의 경험적 방법으로는 유변특성의 정확한 예측에 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 시멘트 입자와 같은 나노 수준에서의 입자간 상호작용부터 잔골재와 같은 마이크로 수준에서의 유변학적 성질을 정량적으로 예측하기 위하여 멀티스케일 기법을 적용한 유변특성 예측 모델을 제안하였으며, 시멘트 페이스트의 항복응력, 모르타르의 항복응력 및 소성점도를 예측하기 위하여 YODEL(Yield stress mODEL), Chateau-Ovarlez-Trung 방정식 및 Krieger-Dougherty 방정식을 적용하였다. 일차적으로 시멘트 페이스트의 물-시멘트비(W/C)를 기준으로 하여 페이스트 스케일의 유변특성을 예측하였으며, 예측 결과를 토대로 동일한 W/C에 시멘트-잔골재 부피비(C/S)를 추가한 모르타르 스케일의 유변특성의 예측을 진행하였다. 시멘트 모르타르에 대한 유변특성 실험을 통하여 예측 결과와 실험 결과의 비교를 진행함으로써 예측 모델의 적용 가능성을 평가하였다.
