Exploration of the Effect of Carbon Fiber Ratio and Dimensions on Electrical Conductivity in Mortars

Öz

This study was carried out on Class F and C fly ash reinforced, carbon fiber added mortar samples as a substitute for PÇ42,5 cement. Carbon fiber was added in different sizes at rates of 0.5%, 1%, and 3% in order to investigate the effects of the size and ratio of carbon fiber on electrical conductivity. 33 different series were formed such as obtained Class F; without fly ash 10%, 20% and Class C; without fly ash, 10%, 20% with samples without carbon fiber and with carbon fiber having dimensions 5 mm and 10 mm. The water/cement ratio was prepared to take the value of 22-23cm in the flow table test.,A viscosity regulator of 0.1% of the fine material was used in order to ensure homogeneous distribution of carbon fiber in the mortar. 3 samples were prepared for each series in order to reduce the margin of error. Electrical conductivity, compressive and tensile strength tests were applied to the oven dry and naturally moist conditions of the samples that completed their 7, 28 and 56 days curing periods. Increasing the carbon fiber size increased the tensile strengths and increasing the carbon fiber ratio increased the tensile strengths. It has been observed that carbon fiber increases the electrical conductivity, but the conductivity decreases depending on time, and as the sizes and proportions of the carbon fiber fibers increase, the compressive strength decreases due to the void effect in the mortar, while the compressive strength increases with the increase in the fly ash ratio. The microstructure and carbon fiber distribution of the samples were examined using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and it was seen that the carbon fiber distribution was in a way that supports the electrical conductivity measurement. The study allowed the size and proportion effect of carbon fiber in mortars to be compared with C and Class F reinforced mortar samples.

Bu çalışma, PÇ42,5 çimentosu yerine F ve C sınıfı uçucu kül takviyeli, karbon fiber katkılı harç numuneleri üzerinde yapılmıştır. Karbon fiber boyutunun ve oranının elektrik iletkenliği üzerindeki etkilerini araştırmak için farklı boyutlarda %0,5, %1 ve %3 oranlarında karbon fiber eklenmiştir. Elde edilen Class F gibi 33 farklı seri oluşturulmuştur; uçucu kül içermeyen %10, %20 ve C Sınıfı; uçucu külsüz, %10, %20 karbon elyafsız numunelerde ve 5 mm ve 10 mm boyutlarında karbon elyaflı. Akış tablosu testinde su/çimento oranı 22-23cm değerini alacak şekilde hazırlandı. Karbon fiberin harç içinde homojen dağılımını sağlamak için ince malzemenin %0,1'lik bir viskozite düzenleyicisi kullanıldı. Hata payını azaltmak için her seri için 3 numune hazırlanmıştır. 7, 28 ve 56 günlük kür sürelerini tamamlayan numunelere etüv kurusu ve doğal nemli koşullarda elektriksel iletkenlik, basınç ve çekme dayanımı testleri uygulanmıştır. Karbon lif boyutunun artması çekme dayanımlarını, karbon lif oranının artması ise çekme dayanımlarını artırmıştır. Karbon fiberin elektriksel iletkenliği arttırdığı ancak zamana bağlı olarak iletkenliğin azaldığı, karbon fiber fiberlerin boyutları ve oranları arttıkça harç içerisindeki boşluk etkisinden dolayı basınç dayanımının düştüğü, basınç dayanımının ise azaldığı gözlemlenmiştir. uçucu kül oranının artmasıyla artar. Örneklerin mikroyapısı ve karbon fiber dağılımı SEM (Taramalı Elektron Mikroskobu) kullanılarak incelenmiş ve karbon fiber dağılımının elektriksel iletkenlik ölçümünü destekleyecek şekilde olduğu görülmüştür. Çalışma, harçlardaki karbon fiberin boyut ve orantı etkisinin, C ve F Sınıfı takviyeli harç numuneleri ile karşılaştırılmasını sağlamıştır.
