Abstract

This paper describes the investigation into the durability alkali-activated materials(AAM) mortar and paste samples manufactured using fly-ash(FA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag(GGBFS) exposed to a sulfate environment with different GGBFS replace ratios(30, 50 and 100%), sodium silicate modules($Ms[SiO_2/Na_2O]$ 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0). The tests involved immersions into 10% sodium sulfate solution($Na_2SO_4$), 10% magnesium sulfate solution($MgSO_4$), 10% magnesium nitrate solution($Mg(NO_3)_2$) and 5% magnesium nitrate($Mg(NO_3)_2$+5% sodium sulfate solution+$Na_2SO_4$). The evolution of compressive strength, weight, length expansion and microstructural observation such as x-ray diffraction were studied. As a results, in case of immersed in $Na_2SO_4$, $Mg(NO_3)_2$ and $Mg(NO_3)_2+Na_2SO_4$ shows increase in long-term strength. However, for samples immersed in $MgSO_4$, the general observation was that the compressive strength decreased after immersion. The most drastic reduction of compressive strength and expansion of weight and length occurred when GGBFS or Ms ratios were higher. Also, the XRD analysis of samples immersed in magnesium sulfate indicated that expansion of AAM caused by gypsum($CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$) and brucite(MgOH). The results showed that, an additional condition $Mg^{2+}$ in which ${SO_4}^{2-}$ is the presence of a certain concentration, sulfate erosion has to be accelerated.

본 연구는 플라이애시 및 고로슬래그 미분말을 활용하여 알칼리 활성화 결합재로 제조된 모르타르 및 페이스트 샘플의 황산염 저항성을 평가하고 황산염 침투에 대한 고저항성 결합재를 제시하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 플라이애시 및 고로슬래그미분말 등의 광물질 혼화재를 결합재로 활용하여 고로슬래그미분말 치환율을 30, 50 및 100%로 제작하였다. 규산나트륨 모듈 $Ms[SiO_2/Na_2O]$은 1.0, 1.5 및 2.0으로 조정하였으며, 10% 황산나트륨, 10% 황산마그네슘, 10% 질산마그네슘 및 5% 질산마그네슘+5% 황산나트륨 용액에 각각 침지시키고, 황산염 저항성을 평가하기 위하여 압축강도, 질량변화율, 길이변화율 및 X선 회절분석을 측정하였다. 그 결과 10% 황산나트륨, 10% 질산마그네슘 및 5% 질산마그네슘+5% 황산나트륨에 침지한 경우에는 모든 시험조건에서 장기적인 강도발현과 질량 및 길이변화율이 작아 저항성이 우수한 것으로 나타났으나, 10% 황산마그네슘에 침지한 경우에는 장기적인 강도저하와 질량 및 길이변화가 크게 나타났으며, 그 경향은 고로슬래그 미분말 치환량 및 Ms비가 증가할수록 현저하였다. 이것은, X선 회절분석 결과 황산마그네슘 용액 침지에서는 gypsum($CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$) 및 brucite(MgOH)생성되어 내부조직이 팽창하는 것에 의한 것으로 확인되었다. 결론적으로 일정 농도의 ${SO_4}^{2-}$이 존재하는 조건에서 $Mg^{2+}$가 추가로 존재할 경우 열화현상은 가속화되는 것을 알 수 있다.
