커들란을 이용한 콘크리트의 유동성 및 강도증가에 관한 연구
An Experimental Study on the Enhancement of Fluidity and Strength of Concrete with Curdlan
본 논문에서는 콘크리트 혼화제로의 커들란의 영향을 연구한 논문으로 콘크리트 혼화제로서의 커들란의 효과를 높이는 방법을 연구하였다. 분말상태의 커들란의 혼화제로서의 효과는 웰란에 비해 많은 양을 필요로 하였으나 NaOH에 녹여 사용한 결과 우수한 유동화 특성을 보유하게 되었다. 커들란을 녹인 용액의 pH가 12.7일 때 가장 좋은 슬럼프 값을 나타냈다. 레미콘 크기의 pilot 시험기에서의 슬럼프 값의 변화는 커들란을 초유동화제로 사용했을 경우 효과가 우수하게 나타나 미생물유래 다당류는 콘크리트 혼합의 훌륭한 초유동화제로 사용될 수 있음을 밝혀냈다.
One of biopolymer, curdlan, was mixed with concrete to enhance the fluidity and to increase the strength of concrete. Using powder type of curdlan, its effect on fluidity was very low relative to that of welan due to solubility during mixing. To increase the solubility of curdlan, small amount of NaOH was added. As a result, the fluidity of concrete was greatly improved with NaOH addition and the strength of concrete was also improved. The optimal pH of dissolving solution for the best quality concrete was pH 12.7. The pilot scale experiment also showed good performance in the slump value and also in concrete strength. From these experiments, we can approve that curdlan produced from microorganism is a good super plasticizer for concrete mixture.
