PURPOSES : This study was conducted to analyze the problems of the permeable block by objectively evaluating the quality of the permeable block and providing basic data to improve the quality and construction defect of the permeable block pavement in accordance with the continuously increasing demand of the permeable block.
METHODS : In this study, we evaluated the current quality standard suitability of nine products to evaluate the current quality level of domestic production permeable blocks. The evaluation items were evaluated for surface layer thickness, block dimension, strength, and permeability coefficient, and the Korea Standard suitability for these evaluation items was analyzed. In addition, a three-dimensional finite element analysis was conducted to determine the effect of vehicle load on the deformation of block pavement structure.
RESULTS : The results demonstrated that the surface layer (colored layer) thicknesses of domestically produced permeable block products were different according to the quality standards, and the dimensions were evaluated to be excellent for domestic permeable blocks currently being produced and delivered. In addition, the strength and permeability coefficient evaluation result demonstrated that all products meet the strength and permeability coefficient quality standards, but the correlation between these strengths and permeability coefficients is not high. The quality standard of strength and permeability coefficients is evaluated as being sufficiently achieved by domestic production technology.
CONCLUSIONS: The intensity and permeability coefficients measured in this study were in line with the quality standards; however, the variable coefficient was found to have a significant difference in the quality control level from a maximum of 26% to a minimum 1.7%.
PURPOSES : In this study, noise reduction effect of a two-layer porous asphalt pavement was investigated through site measurement and computer simulation.
METHODS: To examine noise reduction effect, a 3 km long quiet pavement was installed by removing previous normal pavement, which had a rather low porosity. The studied site was a high-rise apartment building surrounded by the quiet pavement and Seoul ring road with heavy traffic volume, indicating relatively high background noise.
RESULTS: The measurement result before and after installing the quiet pavement showed a noise reduction effect of 4.3 dB(A) at a distance of 7.5 m from the road. After validating the accuracy of simulation using SoundPLAN, the reduction in SPL(sound pressure level) at the facades by the quiet pavement was predicted by considering five different road conditions generating traffic noise from each road or in the combination of the quiet pavement and Seoul ring road. In the case of no noise from Seoul ring road, noise reduction at the facades was 4.2 dB(A) on average for 702 housing units. With background noise from Seoul ring road, however, the average SPL decreased to 2.0 dB(A). Regarding subjective response of noise, the number of housing units with a noise reduction of over 3 dB(A) was 229 out of 706 units (approximately 32%). For 77 housing units, the noise reduction was between 1~3 dB(A), while it was less than 1 dB(A) for 400 housing units.
CONCLUSIONS: The overall result indicates that the quiet pavement is useful to reduce noise evenly at low and high floors compared to noise barriers, especially in the urban situation where background noise is low.
최근 컨테이너 선박은 조선 기술의 발달과 세계 경제교역 규모의 급속한 증가에 따라 대형화, 고속화가 빠르게 진행되고 있다. 이에 머지않아 15,000TEU급 컨테이너 선박의 등장이 예상되고 있다. 동북아시아에서는 경제의 글로벌화에 따른 급격한 물류환경 변화에 대응하여 물류 주도권 확보를 위한 물류거점화 경쟁이 치열하게 전개되고 있다. 이에 따라 주요항만에서는 대형 선사를 유치하기 위한 치열한 경쟁을 하고 있다. 이를 위해 본선작업을 신속하고 정확하게 처리하기 위한 노력이 절실히 필요하며 지금까지의 본선계획 시스템은 획기적으로 개선되어야 할 것이다. 그리하여 본 논문에서는 이러한 기존 본선작업의 개선을 위하여 다수의 플래너를 이용한 양?적하 작업계획을 수행하여 보다 신속하고 정확하게 하며, 플래너(Planner)간의 정보공유로 작업계획의 품질을 보다 향상시킬 수 있는 다중분산 본선작업 계획 시스템을 제안한다. 그리고 이의 효율성을 검증하기 위해 아레나(ARENA)를 통한 시뮬레이션을 수행하고자 한다.
