PURPOSES : The type and degree of structural conditions and influencing factors distributed across representative sections should be similar to those distributed across entire sections as the representative sections have been predominantly used for developing performance prediction models, which substitute entire sections of road pavement. Therefore, a logic that selects the representative sections with similar distributions of structural conditions and the influencing factors with those of entire expressway asphalt pavement sections requires development. METHODS : The logic developed in this study to select the representative sections of asphalt pavements comprised three steps. First, the data on the structural conditions of the pavement and the influencing climate conditions and pavement materials were collected and organized. Consequently, in the second step, the candidate sections were selected, with the severity of the structural conditions of the pavement distributed widely and evenly. Finally, in addition to the widely and evenly distributed pavement conditions, the representative sections with climatic conditions and pavement materials were selected. RESULTS : A total of 6,352 ordinary asphalt pavement sections and 596 composite asphalt pavement sections were selected as entire expressway asphalt pavement sections and the data were collected and organized according to the logic developed in this study. Three times the representation sections were selected as candidate sections and, finally, 85 sections were selected as representative sections. The distribution of structural conditions and influencing climate conditions and pavement materials in the representative sections were similar to those in the entire sections. In addition, the representative sections were spread evenly across the country. CONCLUSIONS : The sections presenting similar distributions of structural conditions and the influencing factors of entire expressway asphalt pavement sections could be selected in this study. Using the representative sections selected in this study, a remodeling index model will be developed for predicting the asphalt pavement sections that require large-scale repair.

PURPOSES : Almost every design method for airport concrete pavements considers only traffic loading and not environmental loading. This study proposes a mechanistic design method for airport concrete pavements, that considers both environmental and traffic loading simultaneously. METHODS: First, the environmental loading of concrete pavements in Korean airports was quantified. FEAFAA, a finite element analysis program for airport pavements, was used to calculate the maximum tensile stress (MTS) of the slab, caused by both environmental and traffic loadings. The factors that influence the MTS were identified via sensitivity analysis, and an MTS prediction model was developed using the statistical analysis program SPSS. The ratio of MTS to the tensile strength of slab was calculated using the prediction model. The fatigue model under the AC 150/5320-6E and AC 150/5320-6F standards of the FAA was corrected to make it suitable for the predicted stress-strength ratio. RESULTS : The MTS prediction model and corrected fatigue model were used to redesign the slab thickness and joint spacing of airport concrete pavements originally designed using the AC 150/5320-6D standard, which empirically considers traffic loading only. As a result, different slab thicknesses and joint spacings were redesigned with consideration for environmental loading, specifically the weather conditions of airports. . CONCLUSIONS: The slab thickness and joint spacing can be mechanistically designed at the same time, whereas previously, only the slab thickness was designed, and the joint spacing was determined empirically.

온도 및 수분의 영향에 의하여 발생한 콘크리트 포장 슬래브의 컬링(curling)과 와핑(wraping)의 비틀림 거동은 자중이나 마찰력 등에 의하여 구속되며 이로 인하여 응력이 발생된다. 슬래브 내부의 온도 변화에 의해 발생한 응력은 상용 구조해석 프로그램으로 쉽게 계산할 수 있지만 습도 차이에 의하여 발생되는 응력은 기존 프로그램으로는 계산하기 어렵다. 따라서, 슬래브의 거동에 미친 습도의 영향이 등가의 온도로 환산되어 구조해석에 입력값으로 사용된다면 보다 정확하게 환경하중에 의한 슬래브의 거동을 예측할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 슬래브를 현장에 시공하여 환경하중에 의해 발생된 변형률을 장기적으로 측정하였으며 실내에서 측정된 콘크리트 시편의 열팽창 계수를 사용하여 열변형률을 추출하였다. 나머지 변형률인 건조수축변형률을 추가적인 열변형률이라고 가정하고 이를 열팽창 계수로 나누어 줌으로써 건조수축과 등가의 영향을 갖는 가상의 온도가 계산되었다. 자중이나 마찰력 등이 고려되도록 기존 건조수축 모형을 수정하였으며, 이를 이용하여 슬래브 상부와 하부 상이에 발생한 건조수축의 차이를 등가의 온도차이로 환산할 수 있는 모형을 개발하였다. 보다 정확한 응력계산을 위하여 압축변형률의 지속적 증가에 따른 인장응력 감소에 관한 추가적인 연구가 이어질 것이다.

This paper deals with the H.A.S. method, which is the non-open excavation method by using steel pipe jacking method. In order to determine the lateral optimal placement of the support during the internal excavation, the commercial finite element program was used to analyze.

In the case of railway bridges passing through the urban area, bridge type with excellent noise reduction performance is required. The bridges under development are steel composite through bridges, which is a composite structure of upper flanges with concrete, and the section bridges themselves, which surround the train, have the feature of acting as a sound barrier. In this paper, the performance test of air conduction noise is performed by the 20m full scale model test of new type steel composite through bridge.
