국내 고속도로의 본선차로 포장은 시공비용이 저렴한 줄눈 콘크리트 포장을 주로 시공하였으나, 최근 유지보수비용이 증가함에 따 라 유지관리비용이 저렴하고 공용성이 뛰어난 연속철근 콘크리트 포장을 확대 적용하고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 본선차로가 연속철근 콘크리트 포장으로 시공될 때 접속차로의 포장은 대부분 줄눈 콘크리트 포장으로 시공하고 있어 서로 다른 포장 형식이 접속함으로 인해 거동 차이가 발생하여 접속부에서 파손이 발생하기도 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 본선차로 연속철근 콘크리트 포장과 접속차로 줄눈 콘크리트 포장을 시공할 경우 줄눈 간격에 따른 접속차로 줄눈 콘크리트 포장의 응력 특성을 분석하기 위하여 유한요소해석 프 로그램을 이용하여 구조해석을 수행하였다. 줄눈 간격별로 줄눈 콘크리트 포장의 해석모델을 구성하였으며 환경하중인 선형수직온도 경사와 온도하강, 그리고 선형수직온도경사와 온도하강을 동시에 적용하여 해석을 실시하였다. 구조해석 결과, 모든 온도조건에서 줄 눈 간격이 좁아질수록 슬래브와 타이바의 응력이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

국내 고속도로의 시멘트 콘크리트 포장은 초기 시공 비용이 저렴한 줄눈 콘크리트 포장을 주로 사용해 왔으나 포장이 노후화됨에 따 라 줄눈부 파손으로 인해 유지보수비용이 매년 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 줄눈부 파손을 근본적으로 해결할 수 있는 포장 형식 으로 연속철근 콘크리트 포장을 들 수 있다. 연속철근 콘크리트 포장은 1980년대에 중부고속도로 등에 적용하였으나 자연발생적이며 허용되는 횡방향 균열에 대한 이해가 부족하여 그 이후로는 사용이 미미하였으나 균열에도 불구하고 우수한 공용성을 지닌 것이 검증 되면서 최근에는 연속철근 콘크리트 포장을 확대하고 있는 실정이다. 하지만 본선차로가 연속철근 콘크리트 포장으로 시공되어도 접 속차로의 포장은 줄눈 콘크리트 포장을 사용하는 경우가 대부분이며 이러한 경우 서로 다른 포장 형식의 거동 차이가 타이바로 인해 구속되므로 과도한 응력 발생에 의해 접속부에서 파손이 발생하기도 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 본선차로가 연속철근 콘크리트 포장 이고 접속차로가 줄눈 콘크리트 포장일 경우 타이바가 포장 거동에 미치는 영향을 3차원 유한요소해석 프로그램을 통해 분석하였다. 유한요소해석은 타이바 배치가 서로 다른 모델을 구성하여 환경하중이 작용할 경우를 고려하여 수행하였다. 연구를 통해 타이바의 배 치가 줄눈에서 멀어지며 슬래브 중앙부에 집중적으로 배치될 경우에 슬래브와 타이바의 응력이 감소하는 것을 확인하였다

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to investigate the long-term trend of internal strain within the continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) based on measurements. METHODS : The strains of the concrete and reinforcing bars were measured at two induced cracks and one construction joint. The analysis was performed using data accumulated over five years from the concrete placement. The effects of the initial construction conditions were investigated by comparing the strains and stresses at each location. RESULTS : In the long-term behavior, the highest tensile strains of the concrete and rebar were observed from December to January, and the lowest tensile or the highest compressive strain was observed from July to August. A lower rebar stress was measured in the construction joint, which has a higher steel ratio than that of cracks. As the distance from the crack and joint increased, the rebar strains decreased. Higher tensile strains of the concrete and rebar were measured where a higher concrete setting temperature occurred. A gradual decrease in the maximum concrete tensile strain was observed in the five-year measurements. However, in the case of reinforcing bars, stress reduction with time was not observed in the long-term behavior. CONCLUSIONS : Although a gradual decrease in concrete strain was revealed by long-term measurements, it is predicted that minimizing the concrete setting temperature to reduce the initial tensile strain could effectively increase the fatigue strength of CRCP

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to analyze the crack and vertical behaviors of a continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) under three different steel ratios (0.6%, 0.7%, and 0.8%) using field measurement data acquired from isolated concrete slabs with transverse cracks. METHODS : Using an LVDT and a crack gauge, CRCP behavior data are acquired by segmenting a concrete slab into multiple sections based on the similarity in the longitudinal steel ratio of each section. To examine the vertical behavior of CRCP based on longitudinal steel ratios, three field experiments are conducted in February, May, and September three years after project completion. The minimum and maximum ambient temperature data for each section are acquired during the experiments. Using the data acquired, the vertical and crack behaviors of CRCP with 0.6% of longitudinal steel ratios are analyzed. In addition, the effect of the steel ratio on the vertical behavior as well as seasonal vertical behaviors are examined. RESULTS : Analysis of the vertical behavior of concrete slabs with a 0.6% steel ratio shows that the minimum vertical displacement occurred at the center of the slab, whereas a significant vertical displacement is detected on the edges of the slab. Based on examining vertical displacements formed along the direction of transverse cracks, it is observed that the vertical behavior is prominent around the shoulders, whereas similar vertical behaviors are observed at the center and joints of the slab. Furthermore, it is discovered that the minimum crack occurred at the center of the transverse cracks, whereas the maximum crack occurred on the shoulders and joints. Furthermore, it appears that the daily displacements of the vertical behavior at the center of the slab constitute approximately one-half of the daily displacements on the joints. Based on the results of vertical behavior as a function of the longitudinal steel ratios, it is discovered that steel ratios of 0.7% and 0.8% yield the most prominent vertical behaviors around the edge of the shoulder in the winter, spring, and fall seasons. The seasonal deviations of the vertical behaviors based on the measuring positions of the longitudinal steel ratios appear less significant at the center of the slab than those on the shoulder. In particular, for the slab with a steel ratio of 0.8%, subtle vertical behaviors are observed at the center. It is discovered that the seasonal deviation of the vertical behavior measurements varying by the measuring locations of the steel ratios appears less significant at the center of the slab than at the shoulder, and that it decreases with the steel ratio. CONCLUSIONS : CRCP generates cracks on the slab; however, they are managed by rebars in the CRCP. This study reveals that the major vertical and crack behaviors of CRCP occur around the shoulders than at the center of the CRCP slab. Therefore, new methods for managing cracks on the CRCP shoulder should be developed to improve the performance of CRCP. It is hoped that the results presented herein will be useful for the advanced analysis of CRCP behaviors.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to verify the effectiveness of the developed ultra-thin-continuously reinforced concrete partition (UT-CRCP) overlay method through a comparative analysis of the early-behavior of the UT-CRCP with a 100 mm cutting overlay of the existing JPCP. METHODS : This study aims to minimize the vulnerability of the existing JPCP (joint section behavior) by overlaying the continuous reinforcement form to constrain joint behavior. For this purpose, the early-behavior of the JPCP section was measured and the early-behavior of the UT-CRCP section was compared with that of the cutting overlay of the same section. The testbed was constructed for comparative analysis of the two types of pavements and the early behavior was measured using the pure environmental loads, i.e., situations where there was no traffic load. For the UT-CRCP, which is a comparative test group, UT-CRCP was constructed approximately one year after the JPCP was constructed by milling the top of the existing JPCP by 100 mm. RESULTS : 1) UT-CRCP was shown to effectively reduce the amount of crack width change on the surface by 17 %, compared to JPCP, by placing reinforcement inside the pavement. 2) The restricting effect of the UT-CRCP was analyzed by comparing the strain generated by the cross-section depth for the two pavement types. As a result, the restricting rate by depth (20, 80, 120, and 280 mm) was 68.4 %, 80.2 %, 89.2 %, and 26.7 %, respectively. 3) We reviewed the comprehensive gauge restricting rate at depths of 80 mm and 120 mm (80.2 % and 89.2 %, respectively) and the absolute value of behavior that is located at the ±20 mm of the interface of JPCP and UT-CRCP. Thus, it was possible to estimate that both layers of pavements exhibit the same behavior (tied) at the interface between the two pavement layers. CONCLUSIONS : In this study, the early behavior of the BCO concept UT-CRCP overlay technique was analyzed and quantitatively presented to overcome the limitations of JPCP with relatively weak point behavior and to increase the commonality of aged concrete pavement to the performance of the new pavement.
