PURPOSES : The aim of this study is to investigate the enhancement of performance and the mix design method for asphalt mixtures utilizing ferronickel slag, an industrial by-product METHODS : To enhance the performance of FNS asphalt, waste tire powder (CR) was incorporated, and the characteristics of FNS asphalt aggregate, along with the impact of CR, were evaluated through the mix design process. RESULTS : CR is found to be suitable with a size of 30 mesh, and the optimal usage amount is determined to be 1±0.1% of the mixture weight, considering dense grade asphalt mixture. Volumetric design considering the swelling characteristics of CR is necessary, and a mixing design with a consistent tendency can be achieved only when an appropriate VMA is secured. CONCLUSIONS : The mix design for FNS-R asphalt mixture requires an increase of approximately 1% in VMA compared to conventional dense-graded asphalt mixtures to accommodate the swelling of CR. Additionally, FNS-R asphalt exhibits improved resistance to rutting comparable to modified asphalt and meets quality standards, including stripping resistance.

PURPOSES : Derive a road pavement design method using Geocells, aim to derive a road pavement design and construction method suitable for the characteristics of the Bangladesh region METHODS : To assess long-term performance during road construction in Southeast Asia using Geocells, field tests and numerical analysis are conducted to verify stability. RESULTS : A total of 12 displacement measurements were conducted during the field tests, confirming an average load of 15.75 kN and an average displacement of 0.542mm. Inverse analysis was performed to obtain the properties of Geocell combined with compacted soil. The numerical analysis results confirmed that the insertion of Geocell provides better stability compared to the case with only compacted soil. CONCLUSIONS : Based on field tests and numerical analysis, a road design plan suitable for the Southeast Asian environment was proposed. A preliminary test section was selected in the Comilla region of Bangladesh, and test construction has been completed. Subsequent evaluations of the structural performance by soil layer in the test construction area will be conducted to develop a Geocell road pavement method, taking into consideration the characteristics of the Bangladesh region.

PURPOSES : The actual service life of repair methods applied to cement concrete pavement is analyzed based on de-icing agent usage. METHODS : Highway PMS data pertaining to de-icing agent usage are classified into three grades: low (1~5 ton/lane/year), medium (5~8 ton/lane/year), and high (greater than 8 ton/lane/year). The repair methods considered include diamond grinding, patching, joint repair, partial depth repair, and asphalt overlay on five major highways. The service life of each repair method is analyzed based on the usage level of the de-icing agent. RESULTS : The service lives of the applied repair methods are much shorter than expected. It is confirmed that the service life afforded by diamond grinding, patching, and joint repair methods are not significantly affected by the use of de-icing agents, whereas that afforded by asphalt overlay and partial depth repair methods is affected significantly. The service life afforded by the asphalt overlay and partial depth repair methods decreases at high usage levels of the de-icing agent (greater than 8 ton/lane/year). CONCLUSIONS : Among the repair methods considered, the service life afforded by partial depth repair and asphalt overlay is affected significantly by the amount of de-icing agent used. Additionally, the differences between the expected and actual analyzed service lives should be considered in the next-generation maintenance strategy for cement concrete pavements.

PURPOSES : This study analyzes the service life of the repair methods of jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) on expressways in Korea using PMS data. METHODS : The Korea Expressway Corporation PMS data acquired from five major expressways in Korea were used for the analysis. The service lives of the repair methods were considered for two different cases: 1) the previous repair methods had been completely rerepaired by another or the same method due to their damage, and 2) the current repair methods were still in use. RESULTS : The service lives of D/G and section repair were shown to be at least 30 % and 50 % shorter than expected, respectively. Joint sealing and crack sealing exhibited a service life similar to that expected. The Mill-and-Asphalt-overlay method showed an approximately 30 % longer service life; this might be because some damage to the asphalt overlay is typically neglected until subsequent maintenance and repair. When multiple repairs were applied in series for an identical pavement section, the service life of repairs on previously damaged secti ons become even shorter compared to their first application. CONCLUSIONS : It was found that the analyzed service life of most important repair methods did not reach the expected service life, and that the service life of the same repair method becomes shorter as applied to the previously repaired concrete pavement sections. These shorter service lives should be seriously considered in future JPCP repair strategy development.

PURPOSES : The frequency and severity of natural disasters such as torrential rain or typhoons have become increasingly significant worldwide. Events such as summer typhoons and localized torrential downpour can cause severe damages to a residential area and road networks, resulting in serious harm to the daily lives of people, especially in rural areas by isolating residents from road networks. An immediate and emergency repair technology for the collapsed road networks is urgently needed. This study introduces a new technology to repair road bases or slopes. METHODS: The development of new technology for emergency and permanent repair consists of first, packing of cement paste-coated gravel, second, combining appropriate equipment, and third, conducting a field applicability test. In this research, the compressive strength of cement pastecoated gravel, gravel-netting concrete properties, and packing efficiency were determined, and a full scale field mock-up test was carried out. RESULTS : The compressive strength of the cement paste-coated gravel concrete satisfied the required limit for road base of 5 MPa after 7 days. With appropriate netting materials and packing size, gravel-netting concrete was successful up to a slope of 1:1.5. The full scale field mockup test showed efficiency in the field and penetration resistance performance. CONCLUSIONS: The new technology of emergency and permanent repair for damaged road bases and slopes, introduced in this study, showed satisfactory performance. The technology is expected to be applied in the field when construction procedures and quality specifications are made.
