Description

Bentle reinforcement fiber bundle and its manufacturing method {BUNDLE OF BENT TYPE REINFORCE MENT-FIBER AND METHOD FOR PREPARING THE SAME}

[Industrial use]

The present invention relates to a synthetic fiber reinforcing fiber to be added to a cement composition such as concrete or shotcrete, and more particularly, to a bundle of synthetic resin bending reinforcement fibers having excellent dispersibility and a method of manufacturing the same.

[Prior art]

Fibers that have been used to improve structural performance such as bending strength and bending performance of concrete and shotcrete in the related art are steel fibers. Steel fibers are widely used in consideration of difficult construction site conditions, such as tunnels, in which rebars and wire meshes are difficult to install, and are known to have an effect of exerting the performance of rebars and wire meshes. However, steel fibers have a problem in that corrosion of fibers is easy to use in tunnels and dams in which a large amount of water is present, and the weight of the fiber is large to increase the weight of concrete.

On the other hand, synthetic resin reinforcing fiber for concrete reinforcement has been developed since 1965 by Goldfein (The U.S. Corps of Engineers). Initially, low-strength filament-type fibers were cut and used, and as the strength of the fiber was increased, multi-filament-type fibers or films were slit and then split into meshes. Type fibers have prevailed.

These synthetic resin fibers were used for the purpose of secondary reinforcement, that is, to suppress non-structural cracking, and in particular, the effect of shrinkage and crack suppression of concrete or shotcrete, but the effect of improving the structural performance is not known.

Recently, high-strength fibers have been continuously developed and used in concrete or shotcrete by increasing the amount of synthetic fibers in applications requiring structural reinforcement. In fact, the use of synthetic fibers in more than 0.5% by volume of concrete or shotcrete results in a marked increase in toughness, and at 1.0% by volume, laboratory performance has been shown to be comparable to steel fiber. It became.

However, when the amount of synthetic fibers is increased to more than 0.5% by volume, it is difficult to disperse the synthetic fibers individually in concrete or shotcrete, and there is a large amount of slump loss even when dispersed, and the form of dispersion is also early It is easy to be dispersed in the form of (fiber-ball), so that the compression strength and bending strength of the final cured concrete or shotcrete occur. In addition, even when synthetic fibers such as a sinusoidal configuration disclosed in US Pat. No. 5,981,630 to improve adhesion with cement, entanglement occurs between fibers before mixing, and fiber ball phenomenon is more prominent in cement slump.

Therefore, even if it is possible to add a large amount of synthetic fibers in concrete or shotcrete in the laboratory, this could not be applied in the construction site.

On the other hand, steel fiber used in concrete or shotcrete is transformed into a crimped type, end-hook type, corrugated type, etc. for the purpose of extending the surface. Sometimes. However, synthetic resin reinforcing fibers are difficult to manufacture because of their inherent soft properties and resilience, and most of them have only been used in the straight type.

Therefore, the present invention, in view of the problems of the prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide a bundle of synthetic resin bending reinforcing fiber bundle and easy to disperse even when added to a large amount of concrete or shotcrete.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a synthetic resin bending type reinforcing fiber bundle and its manufacturing method which can be added and dispersed in a large amount without a fiber ball phenomenon initially when mixed with concrete or shotcrete.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a synthetic resin bending type reinforcing fiber bundle having a better surface adhesion with cement, and a method of manufacturing the same.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a bundle of reinforced resin fiber reinforced composite fiber for concrete or shotcrete having excellent dispersibility which can be used in construction sites, and a method of manufacturing the same.

[Action]

Since the composite resin fiber-reinforced fiber bundle of the present invention is a bundle type, individual fibers are separated from the outer periphery of the bundle when mixed in concrete or shotcrete, so that a fiber ball phenomenon does not occur at the beginning of mixing, unlike conventional synthetic resin reinforcement fibers. Do not. Therefore, a larger amount can be incorporated into concrete or shotcrete, and as a result, the structural reinforcing effect is more than steel fiber.

In addition, while maintaining the tensile strength (1 x 10 ³ kgf / ㎠) of the conventional single-fiber synthetic resin reinforcing fibers as it is to have a fiber thickness of 0.1 to 1 mm thicker than the conventional thickness to reduce the entanglement in concrete or shotcrete Excellent dispersibility and structural reinforcement.

In addition, since the fiber thickness is large, soft properties and recovery properties are lower than those of the conventional fiber thickness, so that it is easy to manufacture in a bending type in a heated state, and because of the bending type, it has excellent adhesion with cement.

The present invention is described in more detail below.

Synthetic resin material fold reinforcing fiber bundle of the present invention has two forms.

One attaches the bundled bundles of fiber with a water-soluble polymer, and the other is the ends of the bundles of bundled fiber are pressed and cut by a heated knife in the manufacturing process and the ends are glued together. It is forming a bundle in the form.

First, when the bundle is formed by attaching the individual folded fibers with the water-soluble polymer, the prepared bundle is dissolved in water or the water contained in the concrete or the shotcrete composition. From individual fibers. In particular, since these water-soluble polymers dissolve in contact with water from the outer periphery of the bundle when mixed, the individual folded fibers are also dispersed in the concrete or shotcrete composition from the fibers located at the outer periphery of the bundle. Therefore, it is preferable that the water-soluble polymer is easily soluble when contacted with water while being excellent in adhesion, and suitable for strong alkali of cement without hindering cement curing. Examples thereof include polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylamide, acryl-based, starch, soda arginate, gums and the like.

When depositing a fiber bundle in such a water-soluble polymer, it is preferable to dilute solid content concentration to 0.5-10 weight%, and to use. If it is 0.5 wt% or less, the binding force of the fiber bundle is weak so that the fiber bundle is not loosened before being mixed into the concrete or shotcrete composition, and if it is 10 wt% or more, it is difficult to separate and disperse the individual fibers in the concrete or shotcrete composition.

Secondly, when the bundle is formed in the form in which the ends are fused together while being squeezed and cut by a heated knife during the manufacturing process, the end of the bundled bundle fiber is fused, so that the concrete or shotcrete composition Before the mixture is added to and mixed in the form of a bundle, the fibers of the fused portion are broken by the shear force of the mixture while being mixed and dispersed in the concrete or shotcrete composition in a single state. In particular, the shear force receives the most force as it comes in contact with water of concrete or shotcrete and is dispersed in the concrete or shotcrete composition in a single state by breaking the fusion portion from the fiber fused to the outer circumference of the fiber bundle.

The welded portion is different depending on the thickness of the heated knife, but preferably has a welded portion of about 0.05 to 0.2 mm in diameter. If the fusion site is large, it is difficult for the fiber to be broken by the mixed shear force, and if the fusion site is small, the focusing force is weak so that the fiber bundle is not loosened before being mixed with the concrete or shotcrete composition.

Fusion is a hot knife that cuts long bundles of fiber with shear force and appears at the cutting part of the fiber bundle by heat, using the same principle as the suture generated when cutting a general plastic bag with a heating knife. Although the temperature of the knife to be heated varies depending on the synthetic resin material, it is preferable to follow the fusion temperature of each synthetic resin, preferably 80 to 300 ° C.

It is advantageous to disperse the synthetic resin material of the present invention bending type reinforcing fiber bundle cut to 12 to 50 mm in length. In general, longer fibers increase agglomeration, while shorter fibers reduce the tensile strength of the cement matrix. Therefore, the reinforcing fiber bundle of the present invention is longer than that of a general single filament reinforcing fiber, but the fiber length to each bending portion is 3 to 25 mm, which is similar to a general single filament reinforcing fiber. The preferred number of fibers of the fiber bundle is 10 to 50, depending on the length of the individual fibers, but in the bent portion the number of mountains is 1 to 5, the height of the mountain is 3 to 10 mm, and the pitch of the acid and the mountain is 3 10 mm.

As an example, in the folded fiber bundle having a length (1) of 30 mm shown in FIG. 1, the number of fibers in the bundle is 15, the fiber thickness is 0.5 mm, and the number of mountains is 4 in the bent portion, and the height of the mountain ( 2) is 5 mm, and the pitch 3 of the peak and the peak is 7.5 mm.

Synthetic resin material bending type reinforcing fiber bundle of the present invention can be selected from a variety of materials. It is preferable to manufacture especially from olefin resin, and polypropylene is especially preferable. In addition, polyvinyl alcohol, nylon, polyester, polyacrylonitrile and the like are applicable.

In addition, the synthetic resin material filament fiber used in the manufacture of the bundle of synthetic resin material bending reinforcing fiber bundle of the present invention by heating and extruding the synthetic resin of the material selected above to produce a filamentary fiber, and then cooled (drawing) It is desirable to produce tensioned filamentary fibers having a fiber thickness of mm. The thickness of the fiber is advantageous to be dispersed in concrete or shotcrete. If the thickness is less than 0.1 mm, it is difficult to manufacture it in a fold type. If the thickness is greater than 1 mm, it is difficult to expect the role of the reinforcing fiber of concrete or shotcrete. .

On the other hand, the bent-type fibers forming the basis of the composite resin-bend-type reinforcement fiber bundle of the present invention is produced by passing the filament through a heated bent gear (bent gear). At this time, the heating temperature is matched to the softening point of the filament fiber material to be manufactured. If it is about 80 to 200 ° C., it is softened and folded at the folding gear. After passing through the folding gear, it is naturally cooled and immediately converted to the folding type. The passing time of the folding gear is related to the softening temperature. It is better to decrease the passing time as the softening temperature is higher. If the softening temperature of the fiber material is 120 ℃ to pass through in about 2 seconds.

The synthetic resin bending type reinforcing fiber bundle of the present invention can be dispersed without fiber ball phenomenon or entanglement even if 0.5% or more is added in a volume ratio to the composition of concrete or shotcrete, and the structural strength of the cement construction manufactured by applying the same Was also very good.

The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following examples and comparative examples. However, the examples are only for illustrating the present invention and are not limited thereto.
