Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a fiber-reinforced mortar composition and a method for repairing concrete structures. [Background technology]
[0002] Fiber-reinforced mortar compositions, used as building materials for concrete structures such as skyscrapers and road structures, are known for their high compressive strength and high toughness, including tensile strength.
[0003] Fiber-reinforced mortar compositions generally consist of a binder containing Portland cement or ultrafast-setting cement, silica fume, slag powder, and admixtures (e.g., fly ash powder), fine aggregate, short fibers (e.g., organic fibers, steel fibers), a polycarboxylic acid-based water-reducing agent, and water. Here, fiber-reinforced mortar compositions containing steel fibers as short fibers tend to have excellent compressive strength but low toughness, while fiber-reinforced mortar compositions containing organic fibers as short fibers tend to have excellent toughness but low compressive strength. Therefore, in recent years, fiber-reinforced mortar compositions containing a mixture of steel fibers and organic fibers have been investigated in order to achieve both sufficient compressive strength and toughness (see Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2).

[0095] (3) Evaluation Based on the results of (1) and (2) above, the tensile performance of specimens obtained using the fiber-reinforced mortar compositions of each example and comparative example was evaluated based on the following evaluation criteria. The evaluation results are shown in Tables 4 and 5. • Evaluation criteria ○: The maximum load was 5.0kN or more, and the load reduction rate was 60% or more. △: The maximum load was 5.0kN or more, or the load reduction rate was less than 60%, or the maximum load was less than 5.0kN, or the load reduction rate was 60% or more. ×: The maximum load was less than 5.0 kN, and the load reduction rate was less than 60%.
[0096] [Table 4]
[0097] [Table 5]
[0098] As can be seen from Table 4, the specimens obtained using the fiber-reinforced mortar composition satisfying the configuration of the present invention have a strength of 100 N / m 2 Despite demonstrating high compressive strength, all evaluations of its tensile performance were positive (○).
[0099] On the other hand, as can be seen from Table 5, the specimens obtained using the fiber-reinforced mortar compositions of Comparative Examples 1 and 2, for which specimens could be prepared, had a density of 100 N / m². 2 Although it showed high compressive strength as described above, its tensile performance was rated as △ or ×.
[0100] Based on the above, the fiber-reinforced mortar composition according to the present invention exhibits excellent tensile strength while maintaining high compressive strength.
