국토교통부 보고서 “2022 도로교 현황보고”에 따르면, 국내 교량의 수는 연간 2.9%씩 증가하고 있으며 그에 따라 보수 가 필요한 교량의 수도 늘어나는 추세이다. 교량 하부를 보수할 때 보통은 몰탈을 사용하여 보수해 왔고, 직접 보수하기 에는 작업자의 안전성 및 작업의 효율성이 떨어져 숏크리트를 사용하여 보수해 왔다. 숏크리트는 건식 숏크리트와 습식 숏크리트가 있다. 습식 숏크리트는 시멘트와 골재, 그리고 미리 혼합된 물이 호스를 통하여 이송되고 호스 끝에서 압축 공기가 이를 고속으로 분사하는 공법이다. 다만 재료를 미리 계량하고 배합한다는 한계가 재료 공급의 제약을 가져온다. 건식 숏크리트란 시멘트, 골재, 섬유 등 건조된 재료들이 호스로 빠르게 압송되어 노즐부에서 물과 만나 빠르게 분사되 는 공법이다. 이러한 공법은 장거리 압송 가능, 습식 숏크리트에 비해 상대적으로 적은 장비, 청소와 보수의 용이성, 쉬 운 적용성이 장점이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 건식 숏크리트 공법을 채택하여 교량 슬래브 하부인 천정부에 대한 단면보 수를 진행하고자 한다. 배합설계는 혼합골재 입도곡선을 고려하고 실리카퓸은 중량의 3%를 차지한다. 연구결과 고압 살 수 및 건식 숏크리트의 현장 적용성은 우수하며, 작업의 용이성 등 교량 하부 구조물 보수에 대한 다양한 장점을 가질 수 있다고 사료된다.
PURPOSES : The actual service life of repair methods applied to cement concrete pavement is analyzed based on de-icing agent usage.
METHODS : Highway PMS data pertaining to de-icing agent usage are classified into three grades: low (1~5 ton/lane/year), medium (5~8 ton/lane/year), and high (greater than 8 ton/lane/year). The repair methods considered include diamond grinding, patching, joint repair, partial depth repair, and asphalt overlay on five major highways. The service life of each repair method is analyzed based on the usage level of the de-icing agent.
RESULTS : The service lives of the applied repair methods are much shorter than expected. It is confirmed that the service life afforded by diamond grinding, patching, and joint repair methods are not significantly affected by the use of de-icing agents, whereas that afforded by asphalt overlay and partial depth repair methods is affected significantly. The service life afforded by the asphalt overlay and partial depth repair methods decreases at high usage levels of the de-icing agent (greater than 8 ton/lane/year).
CONCLUSIONS : Among the repair methods considered, the service life afforded by partial depth repair and asphalt overlay is affected significantly by the amount of de-icing agent used. Additionally, the differences between the expected and actual analyzed service lives should be considered in the next-generation maintenance strategy for cement concrete pavements.
PURPOSES : This study analyzes the service life of the repair methods of jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) on expressways in Korea using PMS data.
METHODS : The Korea Expressway Corporation PMS data acquired from five major expressways in Korea were used for the analysis. The service lives of the repair methods were considered for two different cases: 1) the previous repair methods had been completely rerepaired by another or the same method due to their damage, and 2) the current repair methods were still in use.
RESULTS : The service lives of D/G and section repair were shown to be at least 30 % and 50 % shorter than expected, respectively. Joint sealing and crack sealing exhibited a service life similar to that expected. The Mill-and-Asphalt-overlay method showed an approximately 30 % longer service life; this might be because some damage to the asphalt overlay is typically neglected until subsequent maintenance and repair. When multiple repairs were applied in series for an identical pavement section, the service life of repairs on previously damaged secti ons become even shorter compared to their first application.
CONCLUSIONS : It was found that the analyzed service life of most important repair methods did not reach the expected service life, and that the service life of the same repair method becomes shorter as applied to the previously repaired concrete pavement sections. These shorter service lives should be seriously considered in future JPCP repair strategy development.
Cured-in-place-pipe(CIPP) is the most adopted trenchless application for sewer rehabilitation to extend the life of the existing sewer without compromising both direct construction and indirect social costs especially applied in the congested urban area. This technology is globally and domestically known to be the most suitable for partial and full deteriorated pipe structure rehabilitation in a sewer system. The typical design of CIPP requires a significant thickness of lining to support loading causing sewage flow interruption and increasing material cost. This paper presents development of a high strength glass fiber composite lining material for the CIPP application and structural test results. The test results exhibit that the new glass fiber composite lining material has 12 times of flexural strength, 6.2 times of flexural modulus, and 0.5 Creep Retention Factor. These test results can reduce lining design thickness 35% at minimum. Even though taking into consideration extra materials such as outer and inner films for actual field applications, the structural capacity of the composite material significantly increases and it reduces 20 percent or more line thickness as compared to the conventional CIPP. We expect that the newly developed CIPP lining material lowers material costs and minimizes flow capacity reduction, and fully replaceable to the conventional CIPP lining materials.
PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to develop a pavement rehabilitation decision tree considering current pavement condition by evaluating severity and distress types such as roughness, cracking and rutting.
METHODS: To improve the proposed overall rehabilitation decision tree, current decision tree from Korea and decision trees from other countries were summarized and investigated. The problem when applying the current rehabilitation method obtained from the decision tree applied in Seoul was further analyzed. It was found that the current decision trees do not consider different distress characteristics such as crack type, road types and functions. Because of this, different distress values for IRI, crack rate and plastic deformation was added to the proposed decision tree to properly recommend appropriate pavement rehabilitation. Utilizing the 2017 Seoul pavement management system data and considering all factors as discussed, the proposed overall decision tree was revised and improved. RESULTS: In this study, the type of crack was included to the decision tree. Meanwhile current design thickness and special asphalt mixture were studied and improved to be applied on different pavement condition. In addition, the improved decision tree was incorporated with the Seoul asphalt overlay design program. In the case of Seoul's rehabilitation budget, rehabilitation budget can be optimized if a 25mm milling and overlay thickness is used.
CONCLUSIONS: A practical and theoretical evaluation tool in pavement rehabilitation design was presented and proposed for Seoul City.
PURPOSES:In this study, field performance evaluation of crack treatment of pavement and the feasibility of surface treatment of pavement are presented. The performance and cost of preventive maintenance methods have been previously verified, and the methods are being used in many developed countries and cities. However, the performance and cost of the system have not been verified in domestic, field applications. Therefore, in order to improve performance, the field performance is evaluated, and a reasonable cost is proposed.METHODS:Visual Inspection was conducted to evaluate the field application and performance of the preventive maintenance method. In addition, the PCI index was calculated from the results of visual inspection of the application area of the surface treatment method, and the performance life of each method was predicted. For the economic evaluation, life cycle cost analysis was performed using the life cycle cost analysis program.RESULTS:In order to evaluate and quantify the field performance of crack repair material, the residue condition of the pavement surface after crack treatment, rather than the performance of the material, is evaluated. In addition, the crack resistance and performance life of surface treatment methods are evaluated. The cost of currently available treatment methods are compared to the common pavement cut and overlay method, and it is determined that the preventive method is not economical based on life cycle cost analysis.CONCLUSIONS:Because of the characteristics of cracking, it is necessary to conduct the evaluation of currently applied methods and the analysis of the cause of damage, by visual inspection. Moreover, in order to evaluate the performance and economic suitability of the currently applied surface treatment methods, it is necessary to acquire information on application sections by monitoring their long-term conditions and performance.
