水泥漿體凝結及硬固過程為使用在現場混凝土之一項重要性質,能影響模版拆除時間與費用以及其他相關作業,以傳統維卡針(Vicat needle)方式量測凝結時間已發現有許多不便之處,例如人工操作、費時、數據起伏、無法重現及無連續性,為減輕這些問題,本研究發展兩種超音波非破壞性檢測方法:超音波反射法(ultrasonic wave reflection method, UWRM)及超音波傳遞法(ultrasonic wave transmission method, UWTM),用來檢測水泥漿體之剛硬化過程,兩種方法均監控穿透入漿體或在兩種不同介質間反射之踨向波(longitudinal wave, P-wave)及剪力波(shear wave, S-wave)之波形訊號,這些訊號經由快速傅利葉轉換(Fast Fourier Transform, FFT)及短時傅利葉轉換(Short-time Fourier Transform, STFT)完整分析,於本研究中,以三種水灰比(water-to-cement ratio)0.3、0.4及0.5製作水泥漿試體。
試驗結果顯示,兩種方法均能可靠地估算水泥漿凝結時間及如彈性模數與波生比等工程性質之演化過程。此試驗定義之水泥漿體終凝時間,為經由漿體及空氣界面反射之第一個反射P波波到時間計算而得,相較於傳統水泥漿凝結時間試驗法,試驗結果之一致性達95.62 %。然而,水泥漿體之初凝時間受頻譜中雜訊干擾,仍無法被明確定義。另一方面,本試驗以壓克力板作為水泥漿與訊號接受器間之緩衝材,接收從漿體之回傳反射訊號,反射波 S 波較比P波易於量測。反射波S波波形之振福最低點定義為水泥漿之終凝時間,相較於傳統水泥漿凝結試驗法,終凝時間之誤差低於6 %。試驗結果顯示,反射波P波與終凝時間較無明顯之關聯性,相較於傳統水泥漿凝結試驗法,終凝時間之誤差達到21.30 %。
此外,水泥漿硬固後於試體齡期 1 及 28 天,縱波波速與剪力波波速比值分別為1.62與1.67,波生比數值分別為0.19與0.25。硬固水泥漿試體之抗壓強度與內部超音波傳遞波速呈現指數關係,反射波P波與S波之決定系數 (R2) 分別為0.878與0.910。當增加水泥漿之水灰比,使水泥於新拌期間之水化反應減緩,進而降低水泥漿於硬固後之抗壓強度,同時有降低超音波於試體內部傳遞波速之效果。


The setting and hardening process of cement paste are considered as an important property for the application of concrete in the field, which can affect the time and cost during the framework removal and the other related works. The conventional setting time measurement by the means of Vicat needle is found having many disadvantages such as manually operated, time consuming, fluctuating data, irreproducible, and non-continuous. To mitigate these problems, the new method to observe the stiffening process of cement paste is developed using two ultrasonic-based nondestructive methods: the ultrasonic wave reflection method (UWRM) and the ultrasonic wave transmission method (UWTM). Both techniques are based on monitoring the waveform signals of longitudinal wave (P-wave) and shear wave (S-wave) that either travel through the paste or reflect at the interface between two different media. The signals were analyzed using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Short-time Fourier Transform (STFT) comprehensively. The cement paste mixes were prepared with three different water-to-cement ratios of 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5.
The experimental results indicated that both techniques could estimate the setting time of cement paste and the evolutions of engineering properties like modulus elasticity and Poisson’s ratio credibly. The final setting time of cement paste was determined by the arrival time of the first reflected waveform based on the P-wave reflection from the boundary of paste and air, which has the compatibility of more than 95.62% as compared with that from the traditional setting time measurement. However, the initial setting time could not be defined due to the waveform still being remained in the regime of noise spectrum. In the other hand, by using the acrylic plate as buffer material to reflect the waveform signal from the paste, the S-wave reflection provides the better measurement than that of the P-wave reflection. The minimum point of amplitude in the S-waveform reflection response exhibited the occurrence of final setting time with the difference in value less than 6% as compared with that of the traditional setting time measurement. Nevertheless, the P-waveform reflection response did not demonstrate the reliable result related with final setting time showing the difference in value up to 21.30% as compared with that of the traditional setting time measurement.
Moreover, the ratio of longitudinal wave velocity to shear wave velocity for the hardened cement paste at ages from 1 to 28 days was found in the range of 1.621.67 which equivalent to the Poisson’s ratio about 0.190.25. The correlation between compressive strength and ultrasonic wave velocity shows the exponential relationship with the coefficient of determination values of 0.878 and 0.910 for P-wave and S-wave, respectively. Both strength and ultrasonic velocity of hardened cement paste decreased with the increase of water content due to the slow hydration reaction.
