Abstract
순환 유동층 연소(Circular fluidized bed combustion, CFBC) 보일러는 석탄에서 전기를 생산하고 부산물로 CFBC 애시를 발생시킨다. CFBC 바텀애시를 일반 포틀랜드 시멘트 (Ordinary Portland cement, OPC)와 높은 비율로 혼합하면 바람직하지 않은 팽창과 열화가 발생한다. 이 연구는 다양한 폭의 균열 자체 치유를 위해 이러한 팽창성을 활용하는 것을 목표로 한다. CFBC 바텀애시의 다양한 치환률을 갖는 OPC 및 슬래그 시멘트 모르타르 시편을 제작하였다. 균열부의 투수성 및 디지털 현미경 이미지 처리 기술을 사용하여 자기치유의 속도와 정도를 평가했다. 주사 전자 현미경(SEM), 열 중량 분석(TGA) 및 X 선 회절(XRD)분석을 통해 균열부의 충진된 물질, 즉 치유물질의 미세 구조 및 구성에 대한 정보를 얻었다.

실험은 균열을 통해 유량과 균열 폭 사이의 관계, 서로 다른 결합재 시스템의 치유 속도, 서로 다른 균열폭을 가진 서로 다른 결합재에 대한 치유 후 균열부 투수성을 확인하였고, 이 때 서로 다른 방법의 치유 속도 측정 기술을 사용하였다. 실험 결과, CFBC 바텀애시를 서로 다른 기본 결합재에 혼입하면 모르타르의 균열 자기치유 특성이 향상되었음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이 정도는 치유 전 샘플의 초기 균열 폭, 시편 자기 치유 시 환경 조건(탄산화 여부)에 크게 영향을 받는 다는 것을 확인하였다. |Circular fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) boiler generates electricity from coal and produces CFBC ashes as byproduct. CFBC bottom ash, when blended with ordinary portland cement(OPC) in high proportion, causes undesirable expansion and deterioration. This research aims on utilizing this expansive property for the self healing of cracks with various width. Samples were be prepared from OPC and slag cements with varying degree of replacement of CFBC bottom ash. Rate and degree of self healing were assessed by using permeability and digital microscope image processing techniques. scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA),and X-ray diffraction (XRD) tests were performed to provide further insight towards the microstructure and composition of the healing material.


The experiments were able to describe the relationship between flow through cracks and crack width, the rate of healing of different binders, the ultimate permeability after healing for different binders with different crack width, and compare different types of healing rate measuring techniques.


The results showed that the addition of CFBC ash to the different base binders improved the properties of self healing of the mortar specimen. Additionally, the crack widths of the samples before healing as well as the environmental condition before healing (presence of carbonation) had major implications on healing.
