PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to evaluate newly developed Guss mastic asphalt with polymer modifier as a elastomer and a plastomer in to polymer content. METHODS : As polymer modifiers, 10%, 20% of elastomer and 10%, 20% of plastomer, and 10% of elastomer and 10% of plastomer are all added to the binder, and the physical properties of the Guss mastic asphalt mixture with these binders are changed. The properties of mixtures with workability, penetration depth and dynamic stability were compared with the existing Guss mastic asphalt mixture. RESULTS : When using the elastomer and the plastomer, the dynamic stability of the Guss mastic asphalt mixture was improved compared to the conventional asphalt mixture, and when the amount of the elastomer was 20%, the workability was reduced. In addition, when 10% of the elastomer and 10% of the plastomer were used, the workability was not significantly deteriorated and the dynamic stability was increased. CONCLUSIONS : In order to improve the dynamic stability of the Guss mastic asphalt mixture using the polymer-modified binder, it is effective to use an elastomer and a plaststomer.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the newly developed Guss mastic asphalt mixtures, called EQ-mastic asphalt mixtures, which contain melted additives for decreasing cooking time. METHODS : A series of experiments were performed to investigate the effectiveness of the melted additives in EQ-mastic asphalt mixtures. Both the existing Guss mastic asphalt mixture and the EQ-mastic asphalt mixture were produced with the same amounts of asphalt binders, aggregates, and fillers, but the existing Guss mastic asphalt mixture contained 3% Trinidad lake asphalt (TLA). The EQ-mastic asphalt mixture contained 3% of additives, including TLA and polyolefin. The physical material performances of both mastic asphalt mixtures were obtained by conducting the Luer fluidity test, penetration test, dynamic stability test, and low-temperature bending test. The results of the tests for the existing Guss mastic and EQ-mastic asphalt mixtures were compared. RESULTS : The fluidity, penetration, dynamic stability, and low-temperature bending strains of both the existing Guss mastic and EQmastic asphalt mixtures all satisfied the standard values provided in the production and construction guides of the Guss mastic asphalt pavement. CONCLUSIONS : When melted additives containing polyolefin are used in the production of Guss mastic asphalt mixtures, the cooking time decreases, so that the corresponding energy consumption and asphalt fume amount can be reduced. Therefore, an EQ-mastic asphalt mixture is proposed for use as an eco-friendly pavement material.

강상판의 포장에 사용되는 구스아스팔트는 시공시 220°C에서 260°C의 고온 상태에서 시공되기 때문에 강상판에 과도한 응력 및 변형을 발생시킬 수 있다. 따라서 구스아스팔트의 포설시 강상판에 미치는 열영향을 평가하고 그 영향의 최소화를 위한 포설폭과 패턴을 선정하여야 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 영종대교 상로도로의 구스아스팔트에 의한 열영향을 평가하기 위하여 일련의 수치해석을 수행하였으며 그 결과를 계측결과와 비교하여 수치해석방법의 타당성을 검증하고, 구스아스팔트가 강상판에 미치는 열영향을 검토하였다.

강바닥판 교량의 교면 포장에 240 °C 이상의 온도에서 포설 되는 구스 아스팔트 가 적용되는 경우, 구조물에 발생하는 열 영향의 검토를 수행하지만, 수치해석에 적용 가능한 열원 데이터에 대한 연구는 미흡하여 단순화된 온도 하중을 절점 하중으로 사용하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 구스 아스팔트 포장 시 계측된 온도 데이터를 이용하여 비록 제한적이지만 평판요소에 직접 재하 가능한 열원 방정식을 구성하여 제시하였으며 간략한 수치해석을 통해 그 타당성을 확인하였다.

In case of applying Guss asphalt concrete on steel deck of suspension bridges, the weight of the pavement may lead to a change in cable tension and a inclination of the main tower. And when the construction speed is high or excessive application width is applied it, a high temperature rise occurs at a large area at a time, and demage due to thermal deformation or excessive local stress may be induced in bridge members. In this study, we present a case study of the thermal effect on the structure behavior of the site by numerical analysis.
