Abstract

In this study, the fabrication conditions of CFRP rebar were controlled to derive the correlation between flexural strength and pore characteristics. The fabrication conditions of CFRP rebar were adjusted for presence or absence of rib, resin temperature, and curing furnace temperature. Flexural strength and pore characteristics of fabricated CFRP rebar were analyzed. The flexural strength of CFRP rebar was changed depending on the fabrication condition, such as the presence or absence of rib, the resin temperature, and the curing furnace temperature. It was confirmed that the flexural strength of CFRP rebar was significantly lowered when the rib was not wound. As a result of Nano X-ray CT analysis, the max. pore diameter was shown in CFRP rebar prepared at a resin temperature of 60oC. According to optical microscopic analysis, the maximum porosity was 6.89% in No. 1, and the minimum porosity was 2.88% in No. 7. The correlation coefficient between porosity used optical microscopy and flexural strength was –0.64, which was higher than the correlation coefficient between porosity or pore size used Nano X-ray CT and flexural strength


본 연구에서는 CFRP rebar의 휨강도와 기공 특성과의 상관성을 도출하기 위해 CFRP rebar의 제조 조건을 제어하였다. 이때 CFRP rebar의 제조 조건은 리브 유무, 수지 온도 및 경화로 온도 등을 조정하였으며, 제조된 CFRP rebar의 휨강도와 기공특성을 분석하였다. CFRP rebar의 휨강도는 리브 유무, 경화로 온도 및 수지 온도 등, 제조 조건에 따라 변화되었다. 특히 리브가 감겨지지 않은 경우, CFRP rebar의 휨강도 값이 크게 낮아진다는 것도 확인하였다. Nano X-Ray CT 분석 결과, 수지 온도가 60oC인 CFRP rebar에서 최대 기공 지름을 나타내었다. 광학현미경 분석 결과, 최대 기공율은 No. 1에서 6.89%, 최소 기공율은 No. 7의 2.88%이었다. 광학현미경을 통한 기공율과 휨강도의 상관관계계수는 –0.64이었으며, 이는 Nano X-Ray CT 기공율 및 기공크기와의 상관관계계수 보다 높은 값이었다
