For the aerospace structural application of high-strength 2xxx series aluminum alloys, stress corrosion cracking(SCC) behavior in aggressive environments needs to be well understood. In this study, the SCC sensitivities of 2024- T62, 2124-T851 and 2050-T84 alloys in a 3.5% NaCl solution are measured using a constant load testing method without polarization and a slow strain rate test(SSRT) method at a strain rate of 10-6 /sec under a cathodic applied potential. When the specimens are exposed to a 3.5% NaCl solution under a constant load for 10 days, the decrease in tensile ductility is negligible for 2124-T851 and 2050-T84 specimens, proving that T8 heat treatment is beneficial in improving the SCC resistance of 2xxx series aluminum alloys. The specimens are also susceptible to SCC in a hydrogen-generating environment at a slow strain rate of 10−6/sec in a 3.5% NaCl solution under a cathodic applied potential. Regardless of the test method, low impurity 2124-T851 and high Cu/Mg ratio 2050-T84 alloys are found to have relatively lower SCC sensitivity than 2024-T62. The SCC behavior of 2xxx series aluminum alloys in the 3.5% NaCl solution is discussed based on fractographic and micrographic observations.

PURPOSES: In this study, algorithms were proposed for determining the crack condition of an asphalt pavement image using deep learning methods. METHODS: For the configuration of a deep learning network, the study used a Convolution Neural Network and You Only Look Once algorithms. To obtain input data for analysis, a camera was mounted on the bonnet of the vehicle to obtain images of asphalt pavement and to mark the ground-truth cracks in the asphalt pavement image. In addition, an algorithm suitable for the automatic determination function of Deep Learning was proposed in order to calculate the crack ratio and crack rating. RESULTS: The result of analysis showed that the recall rate of cracks in this system was higher from FPPW 5.0E-06 to 96.03%. Furthermore, the accuracy of the grading system was found to be 100%, enabling the determination of very accurate ratings. The rate of processing per image was 0.4448 seconds on average, and the real-time analysis of pavement images presented no problem because the assessment took place within a short time. CONCLUSIONS : Applying this system to the pavement management system is expected to reduce the time required in finishing work and to determine a quantitative crack rating.

PURPOSES: Until now, the maintenance of road pavement has mostly involved passive maintenance methods with full maintenance only performed at the end of road life. Recently, there has been growing interest in solving the problem of reflection cracks that occur at joints during application of the overlay method of old concrete pavement. This study was aimed at solving the problem of reflective cracks around expansion joints and at evaluating the durability performance of pavement with interlayer reinforced-composites waterproofing system for concrete overlay. METHODS: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of an interlayer on prevention of reflection cracks and to improve the tensile, compressive, shear, and vertical stresses due to plastic deformation and vehicle cyclic loading. An integrated overlaying layer (5cm or 8cm) was used to evaluate the applicability according to objective indicators. RESULTS and CONCLUSIONS : It was confirmed that cracks did not occur in the section of the line overlaid by the interlayer and that the reflection cracks generated by the action of the lower layer sufficiently absorbed the horizontal movement of the asphalt 5cm pavement overlay. It also suppressed, or at least delayed, the progress of the vertical cracks. The interlayer reinforced composite membrane waterproofing method used in the packing layer, showed through repeated fatigue test results that the accumulated fatigue crack resistance was greater than 120,000 times.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to suggest a quantitative trend of the daily and seasonal cyclic movement of transverse crackwidth based on measurements in CRCP(Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement) within the first year of construction. METHODS : Crack gauges were installed in eight normal cracks, two induced cracks, and two construction joints of newly constructed CRCP. Crack width movements were continuously collected for about a year to investigate the cyclic behavior after construction. The daily and seasonal crack width movements were quantitatively analyzed and compared. RESULTS: Crack width movement in hot weather was relatively less than in cold weather. As a result of frequency analysis of the daily cyclic behavior, it was revealed by measurement that the minimum crack width from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. was caused by expansion of the concrete; and that the maximum width from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. was caused by contraction. Average crack width movements were calculated for every month and showed seasonal cyclic behavior. Maximum crack width was measured from December to January. Average crack width was investigated from March to April. Daily crack width movement in relation to concrete temperature was calculated from -0.00017 to -0.03844 mm/℃ and showed gradual decrease in absolute value with time caused by change in the crack spacing. It was found that the relationships between the monthly average crack width and concrete temperature are from -0.004 to -0.012 mm/℃. CONCLUSIONS : Crack-width movement shows a daily and seasonal cyclic behavior. Crack-width measurement in any time or season will have variance caused by daily and seasonal cyclic movement. Variances and trends were obtained in this study based on measurements for various cracks. The long-term behavior of cracks should be surveyed and compared with these measurements to investigate trends of convergence with time, caused by convergence of crack spacing.

Fatigue crack growth retardation of 304 L stainless steel is studied using a neutron diffraction method. Three orthogonal strain components(crack growth, crack opening, and through-thickness direction) are measured in the vicinity of the crack tip along the crack propagation direction. The residual strain profiles (1) at the mid-thickness and (2) at the 1.5 mm away from the mid-thickness of the compact tension(CT) specimen are compared. Residual lattice strains at the 1.5 mm location are slightly higher than at the mid-thickness. The CT specimen is deformed in situ under applied loads, thereby providing evolution of the internal stress fields around the crack tip. A tensile overload results in an increased magnitude of the compressive residual stress field. In the crack growth retardation, it is found that the stresses are dispersed in the crack-wake region, where the highest compressive residual stresses are measured. Our neutron diffraction mapping results reveal that the dominant mechanism is by interrupting the transfer of stress concentration at the crack tip.

콘크리트 구조물 표면에 발생하는 균열은 사용자에게 심리적인 불안감을 제공하며, 장기간 열려있는 큰 폭의 균열은 구조 물의 사용성능 및 내구성에 영향을 준다. 국내에서는 건축물을 포함한 시설물의 노후화에 따른 안전관리를 위해 균열정도를 파악하는 조사가 인력에 의한 육안조사로 수행되고 있지만 인력의 고비용성과 객관성 미흡 등의 문제점이 대두되고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 영상분석을 통한 균열 추출 등 다양한 연구가 수행되고 있으나 균열인식 정확도 향상에 2차원 영상 분석만으로는 한계가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 기존 2차원 영상 분석의 한계를 극복하기 위하여 3차원 특성을 정확하게 파악할 수 있는 3차원 광삼각 스캐닝기법을 활용하여 콘크리트 구조물 표면의 균열정보를 획득하는 기법을 개발하였다. 본 하 드웨어의 개발과 더불어 균열 패턴분석을 위한 획득된 균열의 세분화와 균열의 특성분석 알고리즘을 개발하였으며, 이를 실제 콘크리트 빔의 균열 탐지 적용을 통해 검증하였다.

본 연구에서는 굴곡 계면을 따른 균열 진전을 응집 요소를 사용하여 유한요소 해석을 수행하였고 균열 선단에서 복합 모 드 하중을 고려하기 위하여 BK 법칙을 적용하였다. 정현파 굴곡 계면을 갖는 이중 외팔보에 하중을 부여하고 복합 모드 응 집 법칙에서 응집 강도와 응집 에너지에 따른 하중-변위 선도의 변화를 알아 보았다. 응집 강도가 커지면 응집 영역 크기가 상대적으로 작아지고 균열 진전에 따른 하중-변위 선도에 굴곡이 나타나는 것을 보여 주었으며 인장과 전단 응집에너지 비율에 따라 하중의 증가와 하중-변위 선도에 굴곡이 나타나는 것을 보여 주었다. 또한 굴곡 계면의 형상에 따른 균열 진전 거동의 영향을 분석하였는데 균열의 형상비가 커지면 균열 진전을 위한 더 큰 균열 분리 에너지가 요구되는 것을 보여 주었다. 굴곡 계면의 형상과 응집 법칙을 변화시켜 파괴 인성을 크게 향상시킬 수 있으며 균열 진전 거동을 변화시킬 수 있게 된다.

PURPOSES: In order to evaluate a crack resistance at cold joint, sealing tape was adopted to apply at cold joint instead of typical tack coat material(RSC-4). The sealing tape was made by hot sealing material. The crack resistance as function of environmental and traffic loading was measured with visual observation. METHODS : In this study, the crack resistance was evaluated as function of environmental and traffic loading. The freeze-thaw method was adopted for environmental loading of asphalt pavement. condition. The damage of cold joint under freeze-thaw action is initiated by ice expansion load and accelerated by the interfacial damage between new and old asphalt pavement. The traffic loading was applied with wheel tracking machine on the cold joint area of the asphalt pavement for 3 hours at 25℃. The evaluation of crack resistance was measured with visual observation. The freeze-thaw results shows that the sealing tape was significantly increased the crack resistance based on. RESULTS : To estimate the crack resistance at cold joint area due to the environmental loading, the Freeze-thaw test was conducted by exposing the product to freezing temperature(approximately -18℃) for 24 hours, and then allowing it to thaw at 60℃ for 24 hours. The tack coat material(RSC-4) was debonded after 21 cycles of the Freeze-thaw test. The first crack was observed after 14 freeze-thaw cycle with RSC-4 material. But, the sealing tape was not debonded after 24 cycle test. Also, the sealing tape shows the better performance of the crack resistance under the traffic loading with wheel track test. The crack was generated the under traffic loading with RSC-4(tack coating), however, the crack was not shown with sealing tape. It indicates that the sealing tape has a strong resistance of tensile stress due to traffic loading. CONCLUSIONS: Based on limited laboratory test result, a performance of crack resistance using the sealing tape is better than that of general tack coat material(RSC-4). It means that the sealing tape is possible to extend a pavement service life because the crack, one of the main pavement distresses, will be delayed.

Crack in concrete surfaces is one of the earliest signs of decomposition of the essential structure and constant exposure will cause serious damage to the structure and environment. In most of the safety assessment and fracture mechanic applications proposed that these cracks and defects eventually will grow and will have potential lead to in-service failure. Crack in concrete surfaces is one of the earliest signs of decomposition of the essential structure and constant exposure will cause serious damage to the structure and environment. Currently, non-destructive methods are getting popular in the field of inspecting defects in structure and one of them in trends is that using the thermographic image to detect hidden effects. However, the accuracy of the thermal camera, also called resolution, is highly dependent on camera variables such as lens, detector, sensitivity etc. Also, the most important question that needs to be answered for this research is what happens to the image in fog, rain or other climatic conditions where the camera detects crack which exceptionally smaller than most thermographic applications detects. This paper investigates the accuracy of thermal images obtained by the thermal camera under various weather condition and aims at providing information about optimum choice of environmental condition where the more favorable thermal images can be obtained and increase survey reliability and accuracy of the analysis.

Deep learning techniques have been studied and developed throughout the medical, agricultural, aviation, and automotive industries. It can be applied to construction fields such as concrete cracks and welding defects. One of the best performing techniques of deep running is CNN technique. CNN means convolutional neural network. In this study, we analyzed crack recognition of sewer with low recognition. Deep learning is generally more accurate with deeper layers, but analysis cost is high. In addition, many variations can occur depending on training options. Therefore, this study performed many parametric studies according to the variations of training options. When analyzed with appropriate training options, the accuracy was over 90% and stable results were obtained

This study evaluates the healing performance of asphaltmixture via microwaves heating method. Three different conductive additive types with various percentages were used, includingsteel wool fibers (SF), carbon fibers (CF), and graphite (G). The healing performance of asphalt mixture wasinvestigated through 10 damage-heal cycles of semi-circular samples using three-point bending test. The infraredcamera was also employed to recordthe heat transmitting in the test samples. The test results indicated that the healing effectiveness reduced after every healing cycles. It was found that microwave radiation provided great healing performance for almost all test samples. Among all types of conductive additives, SF mixtures achieved the highest healing performance with the healing level of higher than 50 percent after 10 cycles. However, microwaves heating may promote the faster aging of asphalt binder at late cycles which lead to the brittle behavior of samples. Finally, homogenous mixing is a critical factor to avoid the cluster formation of conductive additives which causes the overheating of asphalt binder.

콘크리트 기층에 아스팔트 표층의 복합포장 구조에서 온도변화에 따른 반사균열의 거동은 반사균열 억제 및 제어에 중요한 정보로 작용한다. 반사균열의 주요 발생원인 중 포장의 온・습도 변화에 따른 하부 콘크리트의 수평 거동 및 컬링에 의한 줄눈/균열부 수직 거동은 포장의 특성(콘크리트 열팽창계수, 하부마찰계수, 포장두께 등)과 지역환경(대기의 온도, 상대습도, 태양 복사량 등)에 따라 다른 특성을 보인다. 본 연구에서는 롤러전압 콘크리트 기층에 배수성 아스팔트 표층의 복합포장 구조에서 현장의 온도변화에 따른 반사균열의 거동 특성을 분석하였다. 늦가을(11월 초)에 5cm 두께 배수성 아스팔트 덧씌우기 포장을 롤러전압 콘크리트 기층 상부에 시공하였다. 온도 조사는 표층 아스팔트 상/하부와 기층 콘크리트 상/하부, 대기온도를 계측하였다. 롤러전압 콘크리트 기층의 균열은 1년의 공용기간 동안 약 30m의 일정 간격으로 발생하였으며, 계측한 연속된 3개 균열의 움직임은 안정화되어 온도에 따라 유사한 거동을 보였다. 계측결과, 겨울철 온도에 따른 줄눈거동은 그림 1과 같다. 영하권의 겨울철 포장의 온도는 태양의 복사열과 기층하부의 지열로 인하여 대기온도보다 높았다. 표층 시공 후 큰 폭의 온도 저감이 발생한 이후 반사균열이 발생하였고 그림 2는 반사균열 발생 전・후의 1일 온도차에 따른 1일 균열 폭 변화량을 보인다. 추세곡선의 기울기는 온도변화에 따른 균열 거동에 저항하는 크기를 나타낸다. 두 곡선의 기울기 차인 0.008은 5cm 두께의 배수성 표층의 반사균열에 대한 저항 특성치임을 알 수 있다. 아스팔트 표층 반사균열 발생 전・후의 추세 곡선간 y축 절편의 차는 반사균열 발생에 따른 동일 온도변화에서 균열 거동량의 증가분을 나타낸다. 향후 배수성 표층 복합포장의 계절별 거동특성을 분석하여 복합포장 설계검토에 활용할 계획이다.

시멘트 콘크리트 균열은 수화 반응에 의한 경화수축이 하부 마찰과 같은 구속으로 의해 인장응력을 발생시키고 콘크리트의 인장강도를 초과할 때 발생한다. 이러한 이유로 줄눈 콘크리트 포장은 줄눈 절단을 통해 균열의 위치를 인위적으로 결정하지만 연속철근 콘크리트 포장은 균열을 허용하되 내부 철근을 통해 균열의 폭을 제어하여 포장의 기능을 확보하게 된다. 포장의 균열은 수분이 포장 내부로 침투할 수 있게 하므로 하부 층에 영향을 미치고 철근의 부식을 발생시키며 골재 맞물림에도 영향을 미치기 때문에 설계자는 적정 균열 폭을 얻기 위한 철근의 양을 결정하고 우리나라 고속도로의 경우 일반지역은 0.68∼0.70%, 특수 환경은 0.73∼0.74%를 표준설계 세목으로 제시하고 있다. 균열이 발생한 이후에는 온도에 따라 수축․팽창이 발생하면서 균열 폭의 변화가 발생하며 밤에 대기 온도가 떨어져 콘크리트가 수축하면 균열의 폭은 넓어지고 낮에 대기 온도가 올라가 콘크리트가 팽창하면 균열의 폭은 좁아진다. 본 연구는 연속철근 콘크리트 포장 균열 폭에 대한 정량화된 움직임을 관찰하기 위해 콘크리트에 균열이 발생한 후 균열 게이지를 설치해서 초기 1년 동안 발생한 균열 폭을 계측한 데이터를 분석하였다. 과거 균열 거동은 공용 구간에 짧은 기간 동안 계측하여 얻은 결과를 통해 중간정도 공용기간의 일일 변화에 초점을 두었으나 본 계측은 계절적으로 어떻게 변화하는지를 관찰하는데 중점을 두었다

교면포장이라 함은 교통하중의 반복재하, 충격작용, 우수, 기타 환경하중으로부터 교량의 구조물(상판)을 보호함과 동시에 사용자를 위한 쾌적한 주행성 및 안정성 제공을 목적으로 시공되는 포장체를 의미한다. 이에 따라 교면포장은 높은 내구성, 시공 및 공정관리를 필요로 하며, 우수한 구조적 성능유지를 위해 우선적으로 신・구 콘크리트 간의 완전부착을 통한 일체거동이 확보되어야 한다. 일반적으로 국내 고속도로의 신설 교면포장을 시행함에 있어 신・구 콘크리트간의 부착성능을 향상시키기 위해 바닥판 콘크리트의 레이턴스 제거 공정을 시행하고 있으며, 이에 해당되는 경계면처리 방식에는 인력파쇄, 로드커터, 워터블라스트, 숏블라스트, 샌드블라스트, 평삭기, 워터젯 등 다양한 면처리 방법이 적용되고 있다. 상기 파쇄장비들의 사용목적은 복합 구조체를 형성함에 있어 접합면의 이물질 및 바닥판 콘크리트 표면의 취약부에 의한 부착성능 저하 요소를 제거하고자 함에 있으나, 각 파쇄장비의 적용에 따른 경계면처리 시 높은 파쇄에너지로 인해 바닥판 콘크리트 표면에 손상을 주어 오히려 신・구 콘크리트간의 부착성능이 저하되는 요인이 될 우려가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 신설교면포장의 경계면처리 방식에 사용되는 장비 중 로드커터, 숏블라스트, 평삭기 적용구간을 시험변수로 선정하여 경계면처리 시행구간에 대한 코어채취를 시행, 파쇄장비의 적용에 따른 바닥판 콘크리트의 균열발생 유무 및 균열크기 등에 대해 분석하였다. 파쇄장비 적용에 따른 균열특성을 분석하기 위하여, 장비사용에 따른 4가지 변수(로드커터, 평삭, 블라스팅, 무처리)에 해당하는 현장코어를 사용하여 전자현미경(HT003C)을 통한 표면 균열발생 여부 및 균열크기 분석을 시행하였고, 바닥판 콘크리트에 사용된 쇄석골재(20EA) 또한 표면 균열특성 분석을 시행하였다
