Since the decrease of skid resistance of the road surface due to the effects of hydroplaning increases the ratio of vehicle crashes significantly, it is important to predict water film thickness (WFT). Tined is one of the widely used textures for concrete pavements. Since previous WFT models have been developed based on the asphalt pavement texture and broom concrete, it may not give reliable predictions for Water film thickness for tinned concrete. Furthermore, surface flow on tined texture may show hydraulically different characteristics due to the geometric characteristics of tined texture. This study aims to propose a reliable water film thickness prediction model for tined concrete. Three test slabs including a smooth surface, a tined surface with 16mm spacing, and a tined surface with 25mm spacing were prepared. WFTs of the test slab were measured for various conditions such as pavement slope (0-10%), rainfall intensity (0-130mm/h), and drainage path length (0-5m). A statistical model was proposed to predict water film thickness (WFT) as a function of pavement slope, rainfall intensity, drainage path length, and mean texture depth. This model exhibits strong agreement with the experimental test results. The GWNU prediction model consistently provides reliable predictions with the actual WFT for tined concrete pavement. Conversely, the previous equation consistently underestimated the water film thickness, notably on tined surfaces with 16 mm and 25 mm spacing, due to the occurrence of viscous flow along the tined lines.

여름철은 타 계절에 비해 장마와 불안정한 대기 등으로 인하여 빗길 교통사고의 위험성이 크게 증대될 수 있으며, 최근 5년 (2018~2022)간 여름철 빗길 교통사고는 전체 빗길 교통사고의 39%를 차지할 정도로 높은 수준이다. 이러한 빗길 운전은 노면의 배수 불량 및 미끄럼 저항 감소 등으로 인하여 수막현상을 발생시키게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 우천 시 도로의 안전성 강화 및 사고 위 험을 최소화하기 위한 요소인 수막두께를 산정하기 위하여 Manning의 평균 유속식을 기반으로 콘크리트 노면의 조도계수 예측 모델을 개발하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 조도계수의 영향인자를 고려하기 위하여 실외 강우 모의 장비를 이용하여 콘크리트를 타설한 뒤 실험 인자로 포장 경사, 배수거리, 강우강도, 노면 조직 특성을 고려하였으며, 이 중 노면 조직 특성은 타이닝 처리를 하지 않은 구간만 고 려한 타 연구의 기존 예측 모델 단점을 보완하기 위하여 16, 25mm 간격의 타이닝 표면 처리한 구간을 추가로 고려하였다. 수막두께 측정은 측정 범위 0.3~5mm의 수막두께 측정 게이지를 제작하여 강우가 모사된 조건에서 배수 거리 1~5m 이내 지점의 노면 조직 상 단과 수면이 접하는 수직 높이를 총 3회 측정하여 평균값을 사용하였다. 실측된 수막두께 데이터베이스를 기반으로 Manning 공식을 이용하여 조도계수를 역산한 결과, 강우강도가 증가함에 따라 조도계수는 감소하였으며, 이는 강우의 증가로 인해 물의 흐름과 콘크리 트 노면 사이의 마찰 저항 감소에 기인한 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 포장 경사가 높고 배수 거리가 짧을수록 배수성이 증가하여 마찰 저항의 지표인 조도계수가 증가하는 것으로 확인되었다. 평균 조직 깊이에 따른 조도계수 영향의 경우, 평균 조직 깊이가 증가할수록 콘크리트 표면에 노출되는 표면적이 증가하여 수막두께가 얕게 생성되고, 얕은 수심으로 인해 물의 흐름 저항이 감소하여 조도계수는 감소하는 것으로 산정되었다. 이후 135개의 데이터를 종합하여 조도계수를 종속변수로 하고 강우강도, 포장경사, 배수거리, 평균 조직 깊이, 수막두께를 독립변수로 하는 회귀분석을 수행하여 조도계수 산정식을 개발하였다.

The strength criteria is the acceptable strength for allowable a vehicle start on a concrete pavement at an early age without causing significant damage. The different agencies have provided the strength criteria based on empirical judgement. To make more comprehensive, the ACI specification provided strength criteria by consideration traffic conditions, slab thicknesses, and slab support based on the concept of damage. However, its neglected to consider the damage caused by curling stress due to temperature gradient in concrete pavement. This research aims to provide a strength criteria for opening traffic on concrete pavements while taking into account the damage caused by curling stress and traffic loading. The tensile stress at critical locations was determine due to curling and traffic loads every hour of early age throughout different seasons. The fatigue damage taken throughout early age was assessed. After this procedure, the strength criteria was established as the evaluated damage that did not exceed an acceptable limit. Accordingly, the strength criteria for opening traffic was determined to ensure that the specified damage level existed subject to the construction season, construction period, traffic type, slab thickness, and slab support of concrete pavement.

노면 마찰력은 포장 표면과 타이어의 마찰력으로 인해 발생하는 현상으로 높은 노면의 마찰력은 제동 중 차량의 안정성과 조종성을 향상시킨다. 노면 마찰력이 증가함에 따라 교통사고 횟수가 감소하는 것으로 알려져 있으며 습윤 상태의 노면에서 교통사고가 증가하 는 것으로 알려져있다. 따라서 교통사고 발생 억제와 도로 안전의 확보를 위해서는 적정 수준의 노면 마찰력, 특히 습윤 상태의 노면 마찰력을 확보하는 것이 중요하다. 노면 마찰력은 adhesion과 hysteresis로 분류되며 특히 습윤상태 도로에서 hysteresis가 중요한 역 할을 한다. hysteresis는 고무의 변형에 의해 발생하기 때문에 고무 변형에 영향을 미치는 노면 조직 변수를 선정하여 노면 마찰력을 예측하고자 한다. 노면 마찰력은 노면 조직 특성과 밀접한 관련이 있으며, 이에 따라 노면 조직 특성을 나타내는 지수 중 하나인 MTD(Mean Texture Depth)가 노면 마찰력 예측을 위한 인자로 사용되고 있는 실정이다. 하지만 MTD는 노면 조직 깊이만을 평가하 는 인자로 다양한 요소가 결합되어 있는 노면 조직 특성을 모두 설명할 수 없으며, 노면 마찰력 예측을 위해서는 복잡한 노면 조직을 설명할 수 있는 추가 변수의 선정이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 노면 마찰력의 메커니즘 분석을 토대로 노면 마찰력에 영향을 미치는 노면 조직 특성을 분석하였고, wave-length와 노면 조직의 형태, 노면 조직 깊이가 노면 마찰력에 미치는 영향이 클 것으로 예상하였 다. 이를 검증하기 위해서는 3가지 노면 조직 특성이 노면 마찰력에 미치는 영향에 대한 검토가 요구되나 실제 도로의 노면은 노면 조직이 불규칙하게 형성되어 있어 노면 조직 특성의 개별적 영향을 검토하기 어렵다. 이를 위해서는 선정한 노면 조직 특성의 정량적 형성이 요구되며 3D 프린팅 시편을 제작해 노면 조직을 인위적으로 형성함으로써 실제 도로 노면 조직의 불규칙성을 개선하였다. 노 면 조직 특성을 시편에 반영하기 위해 노면 조직 깊이는 MTD, wave-length는 노출 골재의 개수를 뜻하는 EAN을 변수로 설정하였 다. 또한 EAN(Exposed Aggregate Number)은 노출 골재의 형성이 필수적이므로 골재의 형상을 제어하여 노면 조직의 형태를 시편에 반영하였으며 골재 형상과 노면 마찰력의 통계학적 분석을 위해 형상 지수를 산출하여 분석하였다. 3D 프린팅 시편은 크기에 제한이 있어 좁은 영역에서 측정이 용이한 BPT(British Pendulum Test)를 사용해 노면 마찰력을 측정하였고, 습윤한 노면에서는 수막으로 인해 노면 마찰력이 크게 감소하여 노면 조직의 영향이 커지므로 습윤 상태에서 노면 마찰력을 측정하였다. 측정 데이터를 통한 분석 결과 노면 조직 변수인 MTD가 증가할수록 BPN(wet)이 선형적으로 증가하는 것이 확인되었으며, EAN에 따라서 BPN이 증가했다가 감소하는 경향이 나타났다. 이는 EAN이 과도하게 많아지면 고무가 침투할 공간이 줄어들어 hysteresis가 감소하기 때문으로 사료된 다. 또한 골재 형상에 따라 노면 마찰력의 최댓값과 optuimum EAN의 변화가 있었다. 이는 골재 형상에 따른 고무 침투 부피의 변화 에 의한 것으로 사료된다. 위의 결과를 통해 MTD, EAN, 골재 형상과 BPN(wet)의 관계를 통계학적으로 분석하여 BPN(wet) 예측 모 델을 제안하였다.

PURPOSES : The increase in particulate matter due to increased air pollutant emissions has become a significant social issue. According to the Ministry of Environment, air pollutants emitted from large-scale businesses in 2022 increased by 12.2% compared to the previous year, indicating that air pollution is accelerating owing to excessive industrialization. In this study, TiO2, which is used to reduce airborne particulate, was used. The TiO2 coating fixation and dynamic pressure coating-type TiO2 fixation methods were used to solve the material peeling phenomenon caused by gravity, which is a limitation when the TiO2 penetration method is applied to a vertical concrete structure along the road. The long-term durability and performance were analyzed through environmental resistance and NOx removal efficiency evaluation experiments. These analyses were then assessed by comparing the NOx removal efficiency with the dynamic pressure permeationtype TiO2 fixation method used in previous studies. METHODS : To evaluate the long-term durability and performance of the TiO2 coating fixation method and dynamic pressure coating TiO2 fixation method for vertical concrete structures, specimens were manufactured based on roadside vertical concrete structures. Environmental resistance tests such as the surface peeling resistance test (ASTM C 672) and freeze-thaw resistance test (KS F 2456) were conducted to evaluate the long-term durability. To evaluate the long-term performance, the NOx removal efficiency of TiO2 concrete owing to road surface deterioration during the environmental resistance test was evaluated using the NOx removal efficiency evaluation equipment based on the ISO 22197-1 standard. This evaluation was compared and analyzed using the dynamic pressure infiltration TiO2 fixation method. RESULTS : The long-term durability of the TiO2 coating fixation and dynamic pressure coating TiO2 fixation methods were evaluated using environmental resistance tests. During the surface peeling resistance test, the TiO2 material degraded and partially detached from the concrete. However, the NOx removal efficiency was ensured by the non-deteriorated and fixed TiO2 material. The long-term performance was confirmed through a freeze-thaw resistance test to evaluate the NOx removal efficiency after 300 cycles of surface deterioration. The results showed that when the TiO2 coating fixation and dynamic pressure infiltration TiO2 fixation methods were applied to vertical concrete structures, the durability of the structure was not compromised. In comparison to the dynamic pressure infiltration TiO2 fixation method, the NOx removal efficiency observed during the surface peeling resistance test was lower, while the freeze-thaw test exhibited notably higher removal efficiency. CONCLUSIONS : To solve the material peeling phenomenon caused by gravity, the long-term durability and performance were evaluated by applying the TiO2 coating fixation and dynamic pressurized coating TiO2 fixation methods to vertical concrete specimens. Long-term durability was confirmed through environmental resistance tests, and long-term utility was secured by measuring the NOx removal efficiency according to surface degradation. These findings show that implementing the TiO2 coating fixation method and dynamic pressure coating TiO2 fixation methods on-site effectively reduce NOx.

PURPOSES : During the summer of 2018, a heat wave (temperatures > 33°C) lasted for more than 30 days, causing blow-ups at eight different locations in South Korea. The blow-up phenomenon occurred when the internal temperature of the concrete slab increased. Simultaneously, as the concrete slab expands excessively, the length of the end of the slab increases, thus resulting in a lateral compressive force; when the slab cannot withstand this force, it rises or breaks. Blow-up is caused by a variety of factors, including increased temperature and humidity, accumulation of incompressible substances inside discontinuous surfaces, alkali–silica reactions, and aging of the concrete pavement. Several researchers have presented models to forecast blow-ups, such as the A. D. Kerr and G. Yang models, which have been applied to explain the blow-up phenomenon. However, this model has some limitations. This paper discusses a method to overcome these limitations. METHODS : Buckling, the most important theory describing the blow-up phenomenon, was reviewed, and the buckling principle was confirmed. Subsequently, the input variables of the Kerr and Yang models and the mechanism for predicting the occurrence of blow-ups were identified. The PGBA program was used to confirm the lifetime of the expansion joint and the blow-up occurrence time based on the expansion joint spacing to review the limitations of the two studied models. RESULTS : The Kerr and Yang models did not consider variables such as the expansion joint spacing or length of the integrated adjacent slab. In other words, it is necessary to reconsider the appropriateness of blow-up time predictions in relation to changes in expansion joint spacing and slab length. The expansion joint lifetime and blow-up occurrence time were predicted using the PGBA program. It was confirmed that as the expansion joint spacing increases, the expansion joint lifetime decreases. However, the blow-up occurrence time was shown to be the same (equal to 59 years), which is a limitation of the Kerr and Yang models used in the PGBA program. This resulted in a limitation in which variables for the expansion joint spacing cannot be used. CONCLUSIONS : Through blow-up simulation experiments and actual field data, an appropriate slab length should be determined, and a blow-up model should be developed based on the slab length. If a blow-up prediction based on concrete slab length and a blow-up model based on are developed, the blow-up prevention technology will be applied to the appropriate blow-up time and location to avoid traffic accidents and reduce human and property damage.

PURPOSES : Advancements in science and technology caused by industrialization have led to an increase in particulate matter emissions and, consequently, severity of air pollution. Nitrogen oxide (NOx), which accounts for 58% of road transport pollutants, adversely affects both human health and the environment. A test-bed was constructed to determine NOx removal efficiency at the roadside. TiO2, a material used to reduce particulate matter, was used to remove NOx. It was applied to a vertical concrete structure using the dynamic pressurized penetration TiO2 fixation method, which can be easily applied to vertical concrete structures. This study was conducted to evaluate the NOx removal efficiency of the dynamic pressurized-penetration TiO2 fixation method in a test-bed under real roadside conditions. METHODS : A test-bed was constructed in order to determine the NOx removal efficiency using the dynamic pressurized penetration TiO2 fixation method on the roadside. The dynamic pressurized-penetration TiO2 fixation method was applied by installing a vertical concrete structure. NOx was injected into the test-bed using an exhaust gas generator. By installing a shading screen, the photocatalytic reaction of TiO2 was suppressed to a maximum concentration of 1000 ppb along the roadside. The removal efficiency was evaluated by measuring NOx concentrations. In addition, illuminance was measured using an illuminance meter. RESULTS : From the results of the analysis of the NOx removal efficiency in the test-bed which the dynamic pressurized type TiO2 fixation method was applied to, an average removal efficiency ranging from 18% to 40% was achieved, depending on the illuminance. Similarly, according to the results of the evaluation of the NO removal efficiency, an average of removal efficiency ranging from 20% to 62% was achieved. Thus, the NOx removal efficiency increased when the illuminance was high. CONCLUSIONS : From the results of the experiment conducted, the efficiency of NOx removal per unit volume was obtained according to the illuminance of TiO2 concrete along an actual road. Field applicability of the dynamic pressurized-penetration-type TiO2 fixation method to vertical concrete structures along roads was confirmed.

This study intends to present a traffic node-based and link-based accident prediction models using XGBoost which is very excellent in performance among machine learning models, and to develop those models with sustainability and scalability. Also, we intend to present those models which predict the number of annual traffic accidents based on road types, weather conditions, and traffic information using XGBoost. To this end, data sets were constructed by collecting and preprocessing traffic accident information, road information, weather information, and traffic information. The SHAP method was used to identify the variables affecting the number of traffic accidents. The five main variables of the traffic node-based accident prediction model were snow cover, precipitation, the number of entering lanes and connected links, and slow speed. Otherwise, those of the traffic link-based accident prediction model were snow cover, precipitation, the number of lanes, road length, and slow speed. As the evaluation results of those models, the RMSE values of those models were each 0.2035 and 0.2107. In this study, only data from Sejong City were used to our models, but ours can be applied to all regions where traffic nodes and links are constructed. Therefore, our prediction models can be extended to a wider range.

PURPOSES : Recently, air pollution caused by particulate matter has been worsening. Among the substances generating particulate matter, NOx is the main precursor of particulate matter and is widely distributed in areas with a high volume of traffic. TiO2 has been used as a material for removing NOx through a chemical reaction as a photocatalyst. In this context, the reduction of NOx through TiO2 concrete is proposed. However, the research on the surface deterioration on the performance of TiO2 concrete is not documented yet. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term durability and NOx removal efficiency of TiO2 concrete by considering the concrete surface deterioration. METHODS : Freezing–thawing resistance test (KS F 2456) and scaling test (ASTM C 672) were performed to investigate the variation in the TiO2 penetration distribution and NOx removal efficiency of TiO2 concrete corresponding to surface deterioration. The long-term durability of TiO2 concrete was evaluated through an environmental resistance test and changes in TiO2 penetration depth and distribution characteristics. In addition, the NOx removal efficiency of TiO2 concrete was evaluated as surface deterioration occurs. RESULTS : As a result of the freeze–thawing resistance test, a relative dynamic elastic modulus of more than 80 % was detected. In addition, a TiO2 penetration depth of 0.3 mm, NOx removal efficiency of 11.2 %, and a 30 % of TiO2 surface prediction mass ratio were achieved after 300 cycles. As a result of visual observation of the scaling test, “0, no scaling” was secured. After 50 cycles of scaling test, the TiO2 penetration depth, NOx removal efficiency, and TiO2 surface prediction mass ratio were 0.3 mm, 36.3 %, and 63 %, respectively. Through the results of the environmental resistance test, the excellent long-term durability and NOx removal efficiency of TiO2 concrete were confirmed. CONCLUSIONS : As a result of the experiment, long-term durability and NOx removal efficiency of TiO2 concrete were secured. The application of TiO2 concrete can be a good alternative with long-term performance and durability.

PURPOSES : The exposed aggregate concrete pavement (EACP) is adopted to achieve low traffic noise and long-term skid resistance in European countries such as Belgium and Germany. In Korea, it is first introduced at the Myeon Cheon field site in 2010. It reduces 3 dB(A) from tire–pavement noise compared with transverse tining. Recent investigations show that EACP can reduce tire–pavement noise by an additional 5 dB(A) compared with transverse tining. In this study, the tire–pavement interaction noise of EACP is compared with that of conventional pavements such as asphalt pavement, next-generation concrete surfaces (NGCS), and transverse tining. METHODS : EACP is constructed at two field sites on the SOC research center and Yeo-Ju test road to compare the noise level via close proximity noise measurement. In addition, the noise is measured using two vehicle type based on vehicle speeds of 60, 80, and 100 km/h. RESULTS : The results of noise measurement obtained from the SOC research center are as follows: Porous asphalt pavement 92.8 dB(A), HMA 96. dB(A), transverse tining 100.1 dB(A), and 8 mm EACP 97 dB(A) at a driving speed of 80 km/h. For the case of the Yeo-Ju test road. The noise levels at a driving speed of 80 km/h are as follows: 6 mm EACP, 93.6 dB(A); asphalt grooving pavement, 94.72 dB(A); 8 mm EACP, 95.2 dB(A); NGCS, 95.2 dB(A); transverse tining, 104.1 dB(A). CONCLUSIONS : The result of noise measurement of two sites in the SOC research center and test road shows that the noise level of the 6 mm EAC is lower than that of concrete pavement, such as tining and NGCS, and similar to that of asphalt pavement. In addition, the noise level of the 8 mm EAC is similar to that of the NGCS pavement. The noise reduction effect of the EAC is greater when small-sized coarse aggregates with lower flat and elongation ratios are used.

PURPOSES : The exposed aggregate number (EAN) and mean texture depth (MTD) of exposed aggregate concrete pavement (EACP) influence the functional performance of EACP in terms of pavement noise and skid resistance. The selection of the exposure time of EACP is important because the designed EAN and MTD of EACP can be achieved when the exposure process is performed at an appropriate time. On the one hand, too early exposure may cause protrusions and unwanted removal of aggregates and mortar. On the other hand, late exposure may cause difficulty in exposure of the mortar. In this study, a method to determine the optimum exposure time for EACP is suggested using a non-destructive method. METHODS : A set of laboratory tests was performed to investigate the variation in EAN and MTD of EACP according to the elastic modulus obtained by non-destructive equipment. From the results of this investigation, the optimum exposure time using the non-destructive method and the exposure time window (ETW) method was suggested. In addition, the usefulness of ETW suggested by laboratory tests was verified from a field application. RESULTS : From the laboratory tests, it was found that the targets of the surface condition of EACP (EAN: 59 per 25 cm2, MTD: 1.39 mm) can be achieved when the concrete elastic modulus is higher than 20GPa. The proposed guideline using the non-destructive method was applied for the field construction of EACP and achieved similar results. CONCLUSIONS : It was found that the proposed guideline for determining the exposure time window based on non-destructive testing is useful.
