Abstract

The purpose of this study is the basic research of self-compacting concrete using Alkali-Activated Slag (AAS) binder in order to emphasize the durability of structures and facilitate casting the fresh concrete in field. The AAS binder emitted low carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) is eco friendly material of new concept because AAS products not only emit little $CO_2$ during production but also reuse the industrial by-products such as ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) of the steel mill. Until now, almost of domestic and foreign research are using Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) for self-compacting concrete, and also, nonexistent research about AAS. The self-compacting concrete must get the performance of flowability, segregation resistance, filling and passing ability. Nine concrete mixes were prepared with the main parameter of unit amount of binder (400, 500, 600 $kg/m^3$) and 3 types of water-binder (W/B) ratio. The results of test were that fresh concretes were satisfied with flowability, segregation resistance, and filling ability of JSCE. But the passing ability was not meet the criteria of EFNARC because of higher viscosity of AAS paste than OPC. This high viscosity of AAS paste enables the manufacturing of self compacting concrete, segregation of which does not occur without the using of viscosity agent. It is necessary that the development of high fluidity AAS binders of higher strength and the study of better passing ability of AAS concrete mixes in order to use self compacting AAS concrete in field.

이 연구는 알칼리 활성 슬래그(alkali-activated slag, AAS) 결합재를 이용하여 자기충전성을 갖는 콘크리트 개발을 위한 기초 연구로서 자기충전 콘크리트에 사용될 AAS 결합재 및 고성능 감수제의 유동성능 평가를 통해 선정하고, 선정된 결합재 및 고성능 감수제를 사용하여 자기충전 콘크리트를 배합한 후 굳기 전 콘크리트의 유동특성을 평가하였다. 높은 pH에서 폴리카르본산계 고성능 감수제의 성능이 저하됨에 따라 비교적 강도가 낮은 약알칼리성 활성화제를 사용한 AAS 결합재를 선정하였다. 시험 결과 일본토목학회(JSCE) 기준인 고유동성, 재료분리 저항성, 간극 충전성은 대부분 만족시켰으나, AAS 페이스트의 기본점성이 OPC에 비해 높은 이유로 유럽통합기준의 간극 통과성은 만족시키지 못했다. 하지만, AAS 결합재를 이용하면 증점제의 사용 없이 재료분리가 발생되지 않는 자기충전 콘크리트 제조가 가능함을 확인하였다. 이 연구는 AAS 결합재를 이용한 자기충전 콘크리트 개발의 기초연구로서 앞으로 현장적용이 가능한 AAS 자기충전 콘크리트 개발을 위해 더 높은 강도의 고유동 결합재와 간극 통과성을 높이기 위한 콘크리트 배합비의 연구가 필요하다.
