급속 알칼리 환경하에서의 비닐에스터/FRP 보강근의 성능 저하에 관한 실험적 연구 = An Experimental Study on the Degradations of Material Properties of Vinylester/FRP Reinforcing Bars under Accelerated Alkaline Condition

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

There is increasingly more research focusing on the application of FRP reinforcing bars as an alternative material for steel reinforcing bars, but most such research look at short term behavior of FRP reinforced structures. In this study, the microscopic analysis and tensile behavior of Basalt and Glass FRP bars under freezing-thawing and alkaline conditions were experimentally evaluated. After 100 cycles of the freezing and thawing, the tensile strength and elastic modulus of FRP bars decreased by about 5%. In the case of microstructure of FRP bars during the initial 20 days, no significant damages of FRP bar sections were found under 20℃ alkaline solution; however, the specimens immersed in 60℃ alkaline solution were found to experience resin dissolution, fiber damage and the separation of the resin-fiber interface. In the alkaline environment, the strength decrease of about 10% occurred in the environment at 20 ℃ for 100 days, but the tensile strength of FRPs exposed for 500 days decreased by 50%. At temperature of 40℃ and 60 ℃, an abrupt decrease in the strength was observed at 50 and 100 days. Especially, the tensile strength decrease of Basalt fiber Reinforced Polymer bars showed more severe degradation due to the damage caused by dissolution of resin matrix and fiber swelling in alkaline solution. Therefore, in order to improve the long-term performance of the surface braided FRPr reinforcing bars, surface treatment is required to ensure alkali resistance

철근의 대체보강재로서 섬유보강근에 대한 적용연구가 증가하고 있으며, 단기거동에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 동결융해와 알칼리 환경하에서의 바살트와 유리섬유보강근의 미세구조와 인장거동 변화를 실험적으로 평가하였다. 100회까지의 동결융해에서 5% 내외의 강도와 탄성계수 저하가 발생하였다. 20일까지의 초기 미세구조변화의 경우 알칼리용액의 온도가 낮은 경우에는 손상이 거의 발생하지 않았으나, 60℃에서는 20일 경과시에도 수지 용해와 섬유 손상이 관찰되었으며, 수지계면의 섬유분리가 발견되었다. 알칼리 환경에서는 20℃환경에서 100일까지는 10% 내외의 강도저하 현상이 발생하였으며, 500일 노출시 최대50%의 강도 저하가 발생하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 40℃와 60℃ 환경에서는 50일과 100일에서 급격한 강도저하가 관찰되었으며, 바살트섬유보강근의 경우에는 알칼리에서 섬유부풀음에 의한 손상으로 강도저하가 더 크게 나타났다. 따라서 블레이디드된 섬유보강근의 장기성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 내알칼리성 확보를 위한 표면처리가 필요한 것으로 분석되었다. .
