Abstract

Electrical resistivity of concrete can be measured in a more rapid and simple way for estimating durability of the concrete, however, carbonation causes a result of misleading for durability testing because carbonation leads to a significant reduction in the permeability and porosity of concrete. The purpose of this study is to estimate and quantify the effect of carbonation of concrete on a surface electrical resistivity measurement. Samples of three mixes with difference w/c were prepared and exposed in a carbonation chamber for 330 days. The results show that carbonation leads high electrical resistivity. The increase is substantial and has been shown to proportional to the extent of the carbonation by some of extent. The relationship between electrical resistivity and carbonation depth is taken in the study. Resistivity ratio of carbonated concrete to air concrete decreased significantly from the specific carbonation depth, however, resistivity ratio of carbonated concrete to air concrete had a linear relation with carbonation depth. From the relationship between electrical resistivity and carbonation depth, it is expected that the result should be subsequently used as a calibration curve for estimating carbonated concrete to overcome the interruption effect of carbonation on regular measurements of the electrical resistivity.

전기저항은 콘크리트의 내구성을 판단하기 위하여 빠르고 간단히 측정하여 활용될 수 있으나, 탄산화가 진행되면 콘크리트의 미세구조가 크게 변화하기 때문에 측정의 오차를 초래한다. 본 연구의 목적은 콘크리트의 탄산화가 전기저항에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 정량화 하는데 있다. 다양한 물시멘트비 조건에서 시험편을 제조하여 330일동안 탄산화 촉진을 시키면서 전기저항의 변화율을 고찰하였다. 탄산화된 콘크리트에서 전기저항 측정치가 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 경향은 탄산화가 진행됨에 따라 더욱 뚜렷한 경향을 보였다. 전기저항과 탄산화깊이와의 상관관계를 도출하였으며, 기중 상태 대비 탄산화된 콘크리트의 전기저항 비율은 일정한 탄산화깊이까지는 급격히 낮아지는 경향을 보였으나, 포화상태 대비 탄산화된 콘크리트의 전기비율은 탄산화 깊이와 선형관계를 보였다. 본 연구를 토대로 탄산화로 인하여 전기저항치의 측정오차를 보정할 수 있는데 실질적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
