PURPOSES : The numeric-based Highway Pavement Management System (HPMS), along with an advanced three-dimensional pavement condition monitoring profiler vehicle (3DPM), in South Korea has presented remarkable advancements in pavement management since the early 2000. Based on these results, visual distress on pavement surfaces can be easily detected and analyzed. Additionally, the entire expressway pavement surface conditions in South Korea can be easily monitored using the current graphical user interface-based advanced information graphic (AIG) approach. Therefore, a critically negative pavement section can be detected and managed more easily and efficiently. However, the actual mechanical performance of the selected pavement layer still needs to be investigated in a more thorough manner not only to provide more accurate pavement performance results but also to verify the feasibility of the current 3DPM and AIG approaches. In this study, the low-temperature performance of the selected asphalt pavement layer section was evaluated to further verify and strengthen the feasibility of the current 3DPM and AIG approaches developed by the Korea Expressway Corporation. METHODS : Based on 3DPM and AIG approach, the positive and negative-riding-quality road sections were selected, respectively. The asphalt material cores were extracted from each section then bending beam rheometer mixture creep test was performed to measure their low-temperature properties. Based on the experimental results, thermal stress results were computed and visually compared. RESULTS : As expected, the asphalt material from the negative driving performance section presented a poorer low-temperature cracking resistance than that from the positive driving performance section. CONCLUSIONS : Current 3DPM equipment can successfully evaluate expressway surface conditions and the corresponding material performance quality. However, more extensive experimental studies are recommended to verify and strengthen the findings of this study

본 논문은 상온상태의 폐아스팔트 포장재료를 가열재활용하여 기층용뿐만 아니라 표층용으로 활용함에 있어 재생 아스팔트 바인더의 특성을 연구한 것이다. 4종류의 RAP을 가지고 RAP 자체의 기본 물성을 시험하였다. 배합설계는 표층에는 RAP을 10, 20%를 첨가하였고, 기층에는 10. 20, 30%를 첨가하였다. 재생혼합물의 신규바인더로는 AC 60-80을 선정하였다. 침입도, 점도, GPC, TFO. 저온균열 저항성을 평가하기 위한 BBR 실험을 수행하였다. 절대점도와 GPC에서의 대형입도분자(LMS)를 지수함수 회귀분석을 통해 R2이 0.95 이상이었고 이것은 절대점도 추정에 GPC 결과가 상당히 정확함을 시사해주고 있다. RAP을 첨가한 재생 아스팔트 바인더의 PG 저온 등급은 일반 신규 바인더에 비해 한 단계 높은 등급을 나타내므로 저온균열에 대한 저항성은 약간 약한 것으로 나타났다.

Concept of primary solidification mode control was adopted to obtain optimal solidification crack resistance, hot ductility, corrosion resistance and toughness for austenitic stainless steel. By controlling primary solidification phase as primary δ and containing no ferrite at room temperature, optimal solidification crack resistance, hot ductility, corrosion resistance and cryogenic toughness could be obtained. The optimum chemical composition of austenitic stainless steel ranges 1.46~1.55(Creq/Nieq ratio) calculated by Schaeffler's equation.
