PURPOSES : In this study, an existing speed-controlled Marshall stability tester was systemized as an Internet of Things(IoT) system. The Marshall stability test data were transmitted to the cloud in real-time, and an IoT optional-controlled board capable of additional load and displacement control was proposed. METHODS : The IoT systemization was built based on an improvement of an IoT height measuring system, the re-verification of standard samples for comparative analysis, and the development of a wireless IG-IoT board. The developed wireless Induk-GeoTS(IG)-IoT board was compared with existing commercial data logger using displacement- and load- calibration equipment. After the conformity of the developed wireless IoT board was established, a urethane standard sample was reproduced and verified using the recipe presented in a previous study to conduct a round-robin test. In addition, the adequacy of the speed, load, and displacement control tests for the optional-controlled characteristics was verified. the round-robin test for the Marshall stability and deformation strength and the comparative test of indirect tensile strength with the existing Marshall tester were performed using the re-verified standard sample. RESULTS : The improved two-point IoT height measurement system reduced the average relative error by 2.11% relative to the one-point measurement. From the re-verification results of the regenerated urethane standard sample, it was suitable with relative error of 3.65% in the loading elastic modulus and 4.07% in the unloading elastic modulus, compared to the existing standard sample. From the comparative analysis of the developed wireless IG-IoT board and existing commercial data logger, it was confirmed that the wireless IoT board could be reliably used, based on the average relative error of the wireless IoT board, 0.64% and that of the data logger, 3.79% in terms of the displacement(flow value) and an average relative error of 0.78% for the wireless IoT board and 0.79% for the data logger in terms of the load(stability). By analyzing the optional-controlled characteristics, it was found that the Marshall stability speed control conditions were satisfied based on the error results, with an average relative value of 2.96% under deformation strength test condition of 30mm/min, 3.23% under the indirect tensile strength test condition of 50mm/min, and 2.6% under the Marshall stability test condition of 50.8mm/min. It was also found that proper control characteristics were obtained, with an average relative error of 0.72% within the experimental load range in the load control conditions, and an average relative error of 2.4% in the experimental displacement range in the displacement control conditions. The results from the round-robin Marshall stability and deformation strength testing to verify the applicability of the IoT optional-controlled board show that the data were reliable based on the 3σ quality control method. In addition, by comparing the results of the indirect tensile strength tests, the usability of the wireless IG-IoT board was verified, with an average relative error of 0.96%. CONCLUSIONS : The IoT height measuring system was improved, and a wireless IG-IoT board that can transmit test data to a cloud platform was developed. The usability of the developed wireless IoT board was verified by round-robin testing using a re-verified urethane specimen. The IG-IoT optional-controlled board extends the verified wireless IG-IoT board, it was developed and validated for not only the existing speed control, but also for load, and displacement control.

본 연구는 마샬 시험기를 이용하여 아스팔트 혼합물의 균열저항성을 평가할 수 있는 보다 간편하고 합리적인 측정시스템을 개발하는데 목적이 있다. 균열저항성 평가를 위한 파라메타로서 파괴에너지를 이용하였다. 마샬 시험기는 기본적으로 공시체 외부에 거치한 LVDT를 이용하여 수직변형률을 측정하는 시스템이며, 이 같은 외부 수직변형률 측정방식은 하중 스트랩 부분에서 발생하는 국부적인 변형으로 인해 측정오차를 야기할 가능성이 있다. 따라서 추가적인 계측 시스템을 설치하지 않고 기본적인 마샬 시험기를 이용하여 혼합물의 파괴에너지를 측정하기 위해서는 공시체 외부에 거치한 LVDT를 이용한 수직변형률 측정값이 파괴에너지 산정에 적용가능한지 여부를 검증하여야 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 공시체 중앙부분에서의 수평변형률과 외부에 거치한 LVDT를 이용한 수직변형률을 측정하는 두 가지 방식의 간접인장강도실험을 수행하여 그 차이를 비교 분석하였다. 실험결과, 외부 수직변형률 측정의 문제점으로 지적되었던 하중 스트랩 부분에서 발생하는 국부적인 변형은 파괴시점 이전에는 극히 적은 것으로 나타나 파괴에너지 계산에 오차를 유발하지 않음을 보여주었다. 또한 외부 수직변형률 측정의 실험변동성을 확인한 결과, 변동계수가 15% 이하로 마샬시험기를 이용한 균열저항성 평가시스템에 이용 가능함을 알 수 있었다.
