PURPOSES : The Korea Expressway Corporation has been working on an early remodeling project for the Jungbu Expressway, to prepare techniques for the rehabilitation of the old CRCP. In this study, a literature review, field survey, and thickness design using MEPGD were conducted. This is to provide a procedure for the pre-treatment, or repair of the existing pavement in the JungBu Expressway. METHODS : To evaluate the pavement condition of the JungBu Expressway, the existing PMS data were analyzed, and field surveys were conducted for each pavement condition. The SMA overlay thickness design was performed using the pavement thickness design program (MEPGD). In addition, the repair procedure was reviewed considering the characteristics of the old CRCP in Korea. RESULTS : From the analysis of existing PMS, field surveys, and laboratory tests, it was discovered that the old CRCP condition of the Jungbu Expressway was not satisfactory. Using MEPDG, the SMA thicknesses for each scenario were proposed as 5, 8, and 10 cm. In addition, appropriate repair procedures for each distress type(punchpout, multiple repair, re-failure, failure of longitudinal joint, etc.) of damaged CRCP in Korea were proposed. CONCLUSIONS : For the remodeling project of the Jungbu Expressway, appropriate repairs should be performed for each type of distress in the old CRCP. In this study, an appropriate overlay thickness and pre-treatment method are suggested.

PURPOSES : This study attempts to reveal the limitations of the current asset valuation methods for road infrastructure, based on national accounting standards. We proposed novel asset valuation methods, namely; the nearly land price and ratio-based method(NLP&R), and the consumption-based depreciation method(CBD). In addition, we verified the possibility of application through the research on the road network of Daejeon Metropolitan City. METHODS : This study proposes a novel re-evaluation method for road facilities. Regarding land, the authors proposed calculating the asset value, using the arithmetic average of the publicly announced land price of nearby land, located on both sides of the road section. For structures, a consumption-based depreciation(CBD) method that reflects the current condition level of structures was proposed. RESULTS : Owing to the application of the evaluation method for the current guidelines, land value was evaluated at 0.84-8.12 trillion won, pavement value at 8.75 trillion won, tunnel value at 0.26 trillion won, and bridge value at 2.09 trillion won. Owing to the application of the novel evaluation method proposed in this study on road facilities of Daejeon City, land value was estimated at 6.96 trillion won, tunnel value at 0.28 trillion won, and bridge value at 2.40 trillion won. CONCLUSIONS : We discovered that four current evaluation methods for land prices have some limitations that were over-or underestimated. However, in the case of the novel evaluation method proposed in this study, the value of land assets was estimated at 6.96 trillion won, by applying the nearly land price and ratio-based method. The road pavement was evaluated at approximately 8.75 trillion won, by applying the newly calculated re-procurement cost per unit in 2019. Bridges and tunnels using the new evaluation method were evaluated to be higher than the existing evaluation methods, because the current damaged condition of the facilities was reflected in the valuation. It was concluded that the proposed method is more objective and reliable than the current evaluation methods.

PURPOSES : In this study, an ASR-reducing (alkali-silica reaction) cement was developed to prevent the blow-up of concrete pavements. To develop ASR-reducing cement, various amounts of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), and fly ash (FA) were substituted with Portland cement, and the ASR reduction effect was verified through various experiments. METHODS : The physical properties of ASR-reducing cement, varying with the substitution amounts of GGBFS and FA, were verified through compressive strength tests. In addition, the ASR reduction effect was examined using accelerated mortar bar tests. Furthermore, the reasons for the ASR reduction were investigated using microstructural analysis techniques, such as XRD and TG/DTG. RESULTS : There was a difference in the compressive strength results according to the amount of GGBFS and FA substitution. In addition, the samples with GGBFS and FA exhibited relatively lower compressive strengths at 3 days, than OPC samples, but the compressive strength at 28 days was higher than that of the OPC samples. The samples with GGBFS and FA had higher compressive strength at 28 days than OPC samples, because the substituted GGBFS and FA induced pozzolanic reaction. Through XRD and TG/DTG analyses, various degrees of pozzolanic reaction occurring in the samples were examined, and a more active pozzolanic reaction occurred in the samples with FA than in the samples with GGBFS. Therefore, it appeared that the ASR reduction effect occurred because of the induced pozzolanic reaction. CONCLUSIONS : GGBFS and FA substituting Portland cement indicated an ASR reduction effect, which was owing to the pozzolanic reaction. In addition, FA indicated a greater ASR reduction effect than GGBFS, which suggested that FA induced a more active pozzolanic reaction than GGBFS.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to analyze the uniform diffusion mechanism of precursor gas species, and the effect of NOx reduction technology in a full-scale particulate matter testing facility, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). METHODS : A full-scale environment chamber was constructed to evaluate the effects of particulate matter reduction technologies on the road. CFD analysis was conducted to simulate the road environment conditions in the chamber, and investigate the effect of the NOx removal panel. The time required to reach the NOx concentration to target value in the fluid field was determined at a given inflow velocity, inlet direction, and initial inflow concentration. The effect of the NOx removal panel, and solar energy on the reduction characteristics of the NOx concentration in the environment chamber was analyzed. RESULTS : The inflow velocity was determined to be the major factor affecting the time required to reach a uniform target NOx concentration in the environment chamber. The inlet location in the transverse direction requires additional time to approach the uniform target concentration, than the longitudinal direction at the same inflow velocity. Based on the CFD analysis in the 1ppm concentration condition of the chamber, a two-fold increase in the NOx removal panel efficiency can reduce the time to target concentration by approximately 50%. It is also observed that a 20% increase in solar energy can decrease the time to target concentration by 4%–12% depending on the panel efficiency. CONCLUSIONS : This study proved that a full-scale environment chamber can be effectively utilized to evaluate the particulate matter reduction technologies applied in road facilities

PURPOSES : This study aims to develop drainage minor-structure materials using asphalt mixtures, and to apply construction methods. METHODS : The AP-5, 120-150A, and 150-200A binders were adopted to select the optimal asphalt binder for the domestic application of asphalt concrete in curb construction. The mixture design of asphalt mixtures has applied the standard for evaluating asphalt curb mixtures in Korea. Test construction utilized asphalt curb equipment to evaluate asphalt mixtures, according to the type of asphalt binder. RESULTS : The results of the asphalt mixture design indicated that the optimum asphalt content was determined at 2–3% air void for each type of asphalt binder, and the quality of the asphalt mixture applied with asphalt curb binder was excellent. In addition, the quality difference was significant, depending on the temperature of the asphalt mixture at each phase of the asphalt curb construction. CONCLUSIONS : Asphalt curb construction using asphalt materials has a large impact on the quality, depending on the temperature of the asphalt mixture, therefore management at the appropriate temperature is important when applying it to the site. Further research is also required on the production, transportation, and dedicated equipment of asphalt mixtures.

PURPOSES : This study suggests an estimated texture depth (ETD) equation for concrete pavements, applicable to highway pavement texture, and the measurement method of mean profile depth (MPD) in a longitudinal texture. METHODS : First, we proposed the most suitable ETD equation through the correlation between ETD data and the measured mean texture depth (MTD) data. Second, we suggested a novel MPD measurement method, by checking the error of the ETD data and measured MTD data by the measurement method. RESULTS : The ETD equation presented by Fisco and Plati was considered the most appropriate for the transverse texture. In addition, the correlation between ETD and the measured MTD was good in the longitudinal measurement method. The ETD equation of Fisco and Plati is suitable for longitudinal texture, and the MPD measurement method obtained good results when applied to transverse measurements. To verify the novel measurement method, we confirmed the correlation between the SR and MPD data using a novel method. The correlation for the novel measurement method is 0.7. CONCLUSIONS : Accordingly, the ETD equation presented in the existing literature has a good correlation between ETD data and the measured MTD data, but it did not reflect longitudinal texture data. Therefore, we assumed the ETD equation produced in this study, and suggested the transverse measurement method in the longitudinal texture.

PURPOSES : This study aims at evaluating the use of an electromagnetic density gauge (EDG) to measure the in situ density and air-void content of asphalt concrete (AC) pavement. METHODS : In situ AC pavement density and air-void readings were obtained from two sites (Daegu and Ulsan) using an EDG. Calibration of the EDG was conducted by first obtaining density values at three different positions, on each pavement where core samples were extracted afterward. The core samples were then tested to obtain laboratory density and air-void values. The density measured using the EDG was then subtracted from the laboratory values to obtain the offset calibration values, which were then adopted to calibrate the in situ measurements using the EDG. Moreover, to analyze the effect of moisture on the pavement surface, EDG measurements were conducted under dry and wet conditions to compare the in-situ readings. RESULTS : The in-situ density readings of AC tend to be higher in moist/wet conditions. By applying the calibration value to the EDG readings, the density error percentage was reduced from 0.61% to 0.096%, and 0.64% to 0.16% for Daegu and Ulsan sites, respectively. Consequently, the air-void content error percentage was reduced from 12.8% to 1.04%, and from 10.07% to 1.78% for Daegu and Ulsan sites, respectively. CONCLUSIONS : The electromagnetic density gauge (EDG) is an effective tool for the non-destructive measurement of in situ pavement density. By applying offset calibration values, the error in the field readings was reduced, and the accuracy of the EDG measurements was improved.

PURPOSES : This study was conducted to prevent road thinning ice caused by abnormal weather conditions. METHODS : The appropriate amount of de-icer spread rate was verified by presenting the appropriate amount of snow removal agent spraying criteria for the thickness of the water film, owing to abnormal weather phenomena (fog, frost), and applying the standards to the site. Furthermore, we present a method to utilize residual salt, by quantifying the surface state changes according to the amount of deicer. RESULTS : Precautionary spread experiments to prevent road thin ice caused by abnormal weather conditions, indicated no freezing from 7.6g/m2 at 2℃-4℃ but 11.1g/m2 was suggested as a step higher considering external environmental variables. The amount of spraying was presented in two sections of rainfall(freezing rain). It is 17.7g/m2 at 0-7℃, 33.3g/m2 at -7~ -15℃, and 44.4g/m2 and 51.1g/m2 at non-urban, respectively. CONCLUSIONS : The criteria were divided into air temperature and road temperature standards, so that they could be distributed according to the temperature standards that meet the conditions, and the criteria presented were confirmed to be effective in preventing road thinning ice. If the road manager adopts Safety Line, which is suggested by utilizing the amount of residual salt on the road, it is believed that it can help determine the additional deicer.

PURPOSES : This study aims to develop and evaluate computer vision-based algorithms that classify the road roughness index (IRI) of road specimens with known IRIs. The presented study develops and compares classifier-based and deep learning-based models that can effectively determine pavement roughness grades. METHODS : A set road specimen was developed for various IRIs by generating road profiles with matching standard deviations. In addition, five distinct features from road images, including mean, peak-to-peak, standard variation, and mean absolute deviation, were extracted to develop a classifier-based model. From parametric studies, a support vector machine (SVM) was selected. To further demonstrate that the model is more applicable to real-world problems, with a non-integer road grade, a deep-learning model was developed. The algorithm was proposed by modifying the MNIST database, and the model input parameters were determined to achieve higher precision. RESULTS : The results of the proposed algorithms indicated the potential of using computer vision-based models for classifying road surface roughness. When SVM was adopted, near 100% precision was achieved for the training data, and 98% for the test data. Although the model indicated accurate results, the model was classified based on integer IRIs, which is less practical. Alternatively, a deep-learning model, which can be applied to a non-integer road grade, indicated an accuracy of over 85%. CONCLUSIONS : In this study, both the classifier-based, and deep-learning-based models indicated high precision for estimating road surface roughness grades. However, because the proposed algorithm has only been verified against the road model with fixed integers, optimization and verification of the proposed algorithm need to be performed for a real road condition.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to evaluate newly developed Guss mastic asphalt with polymer modifier as a elastomer and a plastomer in to polymer content. METHODS : As polymer modifiers, 10%, 20% of elastomer and 10%, 20% of plastomer, and 10% of elastomer and 10% of plastomer are all added to the binder, and the physical properties of the Guss mastic asphalt mixture with these binders are changed. The properties of mixtures with workability, penetration depth and dynamic stability were compared with the existing Guss mastic asphalt mixture. RESULTS : When using the elastomer and the plastomer, the dynamic stability of the Guss mastic asphalt mixture was improved compared to the conventional asphalt mixture, and when the amount of the elastomer was 20%, the workability was reduced. In addition, when 10% of the elastomer and 10% of the plastomer were used, the workability was not significantly deteriorated and the dynamic stability was increased. CONCLUSIONS : In order to improve the dynamic stability of the Guss mastic asphalt mixture using the polymer-modified binder, it is effective to use an elastomer and a plaststomer.

PURPOSES : This study aims to investigate the factors that affect the practical condition of the convergence and convergence behaviors of the asymmetric transportation equilibrium problem (ATEP). METHODS : To achieve this objective, a real network experiment is critical because the crux of the problem associated with the ATEP is the difficulty of verifying the unique condition in real networks owing to asymmetric modeling. The study employed a numerical approach to deal with this problem because analytical derivation based on small networks has a limitation in extending its findings to practical applications. The study addressed the problems using large real networks and different types of interactions, including links and modes. An investigation of the factors that have the potential to affect the convergence of the problem was conducted with the solution algorithm, which is the double projection method. RESULTS : The study presented a partial answer to the question of whether the ATEP's convergence condition is too strong. In link interactions, demand intensities and symmetric features within the cost function along with the network configuration were determined to relax the convergence condition. In mode interactions, the degree of overlap of the route composition and the controlled asymmetric interactions in the cost function were determined to affect the convergence condition. CONCLUSIONS : The results suggested that the modeling of link interactions for a more complicated transportation system design enabled the modeling of complex asymmetric interactions as long as the demand intensity of the network was not strong. In the case of mode interactions, whereas it was not possible to control the route composition, it was considered possible to a degree where the use of a distinct route was observed for each class (for example, designated truck lanes).

PURPOSES : This study verifies the stability and uniqueness of the traffic assignment algorithm. METHODS : The traffic assignment step of the four-phase traffic demand model is an important step in determining the traffic volume of the link in the process of distributing the O/D traffic volume on each link. In this step, primarily, a link-based algorithm based on user equilibrium has been used. The typical link-based algorithm, FWA, is known to provide uniqueness and stability, in theory, regarding traffic assignment results. However, recent studies have raised the controversy that, in reality, the FWA is less stable and unique depending on the termination criterion applied to the FWA in the traffic assignment step. Stability tests and proportionality tests were conducted for the application of algorithms to widely used commercial software (for example, EMME, CUBE, and TransCAD). RESULTS : According to this study, the uniqueness and stability of the FWA were not followed in the process of actual traffic assignment, unlike the theory. CONCLUSIONS : The traffic assignment model has essentially the same result when the optimum level is reached, irrespective of the program and traffic allocation techniques used. Therefore, efforts will be required to recognize limitations in practice and to produce stable results at an appropriate level when predicting traffic demand, traffic volume, benefits, and feasibility studies using a traffic allocation model.

PURPOSES : This study prioritizes the potential technology for establishing an efficient traffic control in the ramp junction of urban deep underground tunnels in the future. We considered most of the applicable technologies that ensure traffic safety at the on-off ramp junction. METHODS : This study proposes a methodology to prioritize the applicable technology for establishing efficient traffic control in the ramp junction of an urban deep underground tunnel using an analytical hierarchy process (AHP). First, an AHP structure was developed. Second, an individual survey was conducted to collect the opinions of road and transportation experts. Based on the survey results, weights were estimated depending on the relevant criteria of the developed structure. The estimated weights were verified using the consistency index (CI) and consistency ratio (CR). In addition, a sensitivity analysis was performed to confirm the reliability of the estimated weights. Finally, the potential technology for an efficient traffic control in the ramp junction of an urban deep underground tunnel was prioritized. RESULTS : In the first level of hierarchy, traffic demand control had the highest priority, and ramp metering, section speed control, and shoulder lane control were selected in the second level of hierarchy. CONCLUSIONS : These results implied that prioritizing would be useful in establishing traffic operation strategies for traffic safety when constructing and opening deep underground tunnels in urban areas in the future.
