PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the common performance of asphalt pavements, determine the timing of preventive maintenance, and determine the optimal timing of application of the preventive maintenance methods by analyzing PMS data. METHODS : Using PMS data on asphalt pavement performance on highways, we derived the major damage factors and evaluated them according to the public period and traffic level. Among the factors evaluated, we determined those that could be improved by preventive maintenance, calculated the amount of change annually, and derived the timing of the application of the preventive maintenance method through correlation analysis. RESULTS : Among highway PMS data factors, crack variation was found to affect preventive maintenance, which increased rapidly after five years of performance. Traffic analysis showed that changes increased rapidly in the fifth, sixth, and seventh years when AADT exceeded 20,000, exceeded 10,000, and was under 10,000, respectively. Analysis of the amount of crack variation according to the pavement type showed that crack variation increased rapidly in the overlay section compared to the general AP section. CONCLUSIONS : Crack variation is the performance factor that was expected to be effective in preventive maintenance, and the PMS data showed that the initial application time of the preventive maintenance method varied by one year, depending on the traffic volume.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of an ultra-thin asphalt pavement as a preventive maintenance approach through laboratory tests. METHODS : An ultra-thin asphalt pavement of 2 cm wearing course thickness comprising modified asphalt and aggregate is a preventive maintenance method used for asphalt pavements. A mix design was carried out to determine the optimum aggregate gradation and asphalt contents. A dynamic immersion test was performed to evaluate the water-resistance of the ultra-thin asphalt pavement. A wet track abrasion test and a cohesion test were conducted to examine the applicability of the ultra-thin asphalt pavement in surface treatment. The performance of the ultra-thin asphalt pavement was evaluated through wheel loading tests, such as Hamburg wheel-tracking and third-scale model mobileloading simulator (MMLS-3). RESULTS : An optimum binder content of 4.9% was obtained in the ultra-thin asphalt mixture from the Marshall mix design. The waterresistance tests indicated a 70% dynamic immersion coverage rate of the ultra-thin asphalt pavement. The wet track abrasion test showed an abrasion rate of 0.0107 g/cm2, and the cohesion tests indicated a 19.0 kg·cm average cohesion at 30 min of operating time and 21.4 kg·cm average cohesion at 60 min of operating time. From the Hamburg wheel-tracking test, a 16.56 mm rut depth at 20,000 wheel passing was obtained. Finally, a 5.87 mm rut depth at 300,000 number of wheel passing was detected from the MMLS-3 test. CONCLUSIONS : The water-resistance of the ultra-thin asphalt pavement satisfied the recommended guidelines of the Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. In addition, the applicability of the ultra-thin asphalt pavement as a surface treatment met the standard of the International Slurry Surfacing Association. Furthermore, the deformation performance of the ultra-thin asphalt pavement was 1.5 times better than that of the straight asphalt pavement, based on the results of the wheel-loading tests. Hence, it is estimated that an ultra-thin asphalt pavement has a high performance in the preventive maintenance of asphalt pavement, even though the cracking resistance was not evaluated in this study.

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.

1960년대 고속도로의 등장 이후 급격한 산업화와 더불어 국내의 도로연장과 교통량 및 중차량 비중의 증가, 기후변화로 인한 집중호우 및 강설 등의 요인으로 포장파손이 가속화되고 있으며 도로의 관리연장 및 노후화 비중의 급증으로 인한 도로유지관리 비용은 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 예로 서울시의 경우, 건설 후 20년 이상으로 노후화되어서 도로유지관리 비용은 2020년 이후에는 도로건설비용을 초과할 것 으로 예상되지만 유지관기 예산은 감소추세에 있어 체계적이고 효율적으로 도로관리를 수행하고자 1999 년부터 도로포장관리시스템(PMS: Pavement Management System)을 도입하여 합리적이고 투명하게 도 로포장유지관리 예산편성을 수행하고 있다. 하지만 서울시의 도로포장유지보수 예산은 포장의 상태가 가 장 나쁜 구간을 우선 보수하는 보수전략(Worst First)으로 파손의 정도가 심한 구간에 절삭 후 고온의 아 스팔트 콘크리트를 생산 및 재포장하는 방법 위주로 진행되고 있어 한정된 도로포장 유지보수 예산 하에 서는 증가되는 노후 및 파손된 도로포장의 상태를 일정한 수준으로 유지하기가 점점 어려워지고 있다. 이 러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 서울시는 미국, 유럽 등 선진국에서 보편화된 예방적 유지보수공법을 도 입하여 도로가 파손되기 전에 미리 예방하여 포장수명을 연장하여 예산을 절감하고자 노력하고 있다. 이 에 본 연구는 서울시에서 시범적으로 적용한 예방적 유지보수공법의 공용성을 평가하고 경제성분석을 실 시하여 예방적유지보수공법의 도로포장 수명연장효과와 이에 따른 예산절감 효과를 검토하였다. 서울시 에 시험 적용한 예방적 유지보수 공법의 공용성 및 경제성을 평가한 결과 도로포장의 상태에 적합한 공법 을 적용하면 도로포장의 공용수명을 효과적으로 연장할 수 있는 것으로 평가되었다. 위의 그림 1과 같이 절삭 덧씌우기 포장을 한경우보다 예방적 유지보수를 활용했을 경우 공용수명이 연 장되는 것을 확인 할 수 있으며 현재 단가로는 경제성 이득을 취할 수 없는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 예방적유지보수 공법별 공용성에 따른 경제성 확보를 위한 적정단가를 제시하였다.

This study (Part Ⅰ) aimed to develop the low viscosity filling material for waterproof characteristics and high penetrable and weather resistance, and a series of companion study (Part Ⅱ) presents the coating characteristics and performance analysis using field and lab tests. METHODS : Hydrophobic characteristics of the advanced surface treatment material are observed and measured the filling depth and the permeability for sand and asphalt pavement specimen using the water absorption test and permeability test, X-RAY CT test. Color difference for the weather resistance using ultraviolet ray accelerated weathering test is compared with asphalt pavement specimens. RESULTS : The developed material shows the decreased water absorption and increased impermeable effect because of the hydrophobic characteristics. It is found that the filling depth is about 6mm and weather resistance is better than asphalt pavement specimen. CONCLUSIONS: The advanced hydrophobic - low viscosity filling treatment material is developed in this study (Part Ⅰ) to improve the waterproof characteristics and high filling capacity and weather resistance for the pavement preventive maintenance.
