본 연구는 PG 등급에 따른 아스팔트 혼합물의 변형강도(SD)와 소성변형 저항성의 상관관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 마샬배합설계는 포장의 공용성과의 상관성이 낮아 본 연구에서는 수퍼페이브 배합설계를 통하여 혼합물을 제조하고 소성변형 특성과 상관성이 높은 역학적 특성을 측정하기 위해 개발된 변형강도(SD), 그리고 휠 트랙킹 시험으로 최종침하깊이(DR)와 동적안정도(DS)를 구하였다. 또한 변형강도 측정시 4(1.0) 하중봉을 사용하였으며 60℃에서 수침시간을 30, 40, 50분으로 변화시켜 가며 바인더 등급에 따라 SD를 측정하여 수침시간별 SD와 DS. SD와 DR의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과 수침시간 30분의 경우가 가장 높은 R2을 나타냈으며 SD가 수퍼페이브 혼합물에서도 소성변형저항성과 아주 밀접한 상관관계를 보임을 알 수 있었다.
This study dealt with correlation analysis between deformation strength and rut resistance of asphalt concretes based on binder grade in Superpave specification with changing submerging time. Currently, Mashall mix design is known to have little correlation with rutting related performance. Therefore, some agencies started to use the Superpave method for asphalt mix design. But this method has a weak point in that it can not distinct mechanical property of the asphalt mixtures designed. For solution of these problem, this study used deformation strength, SD, of Kim test which is a new approach under development for finding property which represents rut resistance characteristics of asphalt mixtures under static loading. This study used two aggregates from two regions and five PG asphalt binders. Final rut depth (DR) and dynamic stability (DS) from wheel tracking (WT) test were obtained. and SD value of the same mixture specimen which was made by gyratory compactor was obtained using loading head [4(1.0)]. Three submerging times 30min, 40min, 50min were used as a test variable at 60℃. Correlation analysis of DR and DS with SD were performed based on PG grade. It was found out that the SD has a high correlation with DR and DS of superpave mixtures. The highest R2 was found from the SD values of 30min. submerged specimen.
