줄눈형식에 따른 공항 콘크리트 포장 하중전달율 비교 Comparison with Load Transfer Efficiency for Joint Types in Airport Concrete Pavements
pp.9-20
PURPOSES: This study is to compare load transfer efficiency of key joint and dowel joint for airport concrete pavement. METHODS: As AC150/5320-6D of FAA’s [Advisory Circular] was changed into AC150/5320-6E, Key joint type of rigid pavement were excluded from Construction Joints.. LTE(Load Transfer Efficiency) of dowel joint and key joint were compared by times and seasons through pavement temperature measurement, ocular investigation and HWD measurement. RESULTS: For the joint performance grade of No. 2(The second) runway of airport, 12% of poor rate was observed in key joint and 2% of poor rate in dowel joint. Poor rate of key joint was increased to 17%, if only No. 3~No. 6 slabs, which are mostly loaded from the airplanes, were applied for the study. In apron area, LTE poor rate of key joint was high in winter, and LTE poor rate of dowel joint was at least above ‘Fair’ grade. In summer, ‘Fair’ for key joint, ‘Acceptable’ for dowel joint appeared. CONCLUSIONS : As results, dowel joint was superior than key joint for LTE. Deviations of seasons and times were smaller in dowel joint’s result. And LTE in winter was lower than LTE in summer.
