Abstract

While the amount of construction waste has not been changed much in discharge for last 10 years, the recycled resources refined from construction waste have been mainly applied to low-leveled one such as reclamation, back-fill, road base or subbase and so on. Thus this study addresses the applicability of recycled fine aggregate as a replaceable material in precast concrete. To evaluate the possibility, both of dry and wet processes were adopted as well as steam curing, widely used in the field for rapid producing. Most important experimental parameters were driven through preliminary experiments and were evaluated in terms of concrete properties. It is found from aggregate-replacement tests that all of consistency and strengths of concrete were decreased as the ratio of recycled fine aggregate increased, and the amount of decrease can be estimated using proposed equations. Though the recycled fine aggregate showed a decrease of concrete properties more or less, the applicability in large volume as a constituent of precast product was well noted from experimental results.

건설폐기물은 과거 10년 동안 큰 변동 없이 배출량이 지속되고 있는 반면, 순환자원으로의 활용은 매립과 뒤채움재, 도로기층이나 보조기층 등 주로 저급 골재로의 사용으로 국한되어 왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 순환잔골재의 다량 활용을 위한 방안으로 콘크리트 2차 제품의 잔골재 대체재로써의 활용성에 대해 검토하고자 하였다. 접근 방법으로는 현장에서 사용되고 있는 건식과 습식 공정과 신속한 제품생산을 위해 적용하고 있는 증기양생을 적용하였다. 예비실험을 통해 각 배합방식별로 주요 실험변수들을 도출하였으며, 이를 통해 각 변수가 콘크리트 물성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 순환잔골재의 대체효과에 대한 실험에서는 대체 비율이 높을수록 건식과 습식 모두 작업성 및 강도저하가 발생되었으며 그에 따른 저하량을 예측할 수 있는 식을 제안하였다. 본 실험을 통해 다소 콘크리트 물성과 역학적 특성 저하가 나타나지만, 2차 콘크리트 제품의 구성재료로서 순환잔골재의 다량 활용이 가능하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
