최근 변화하는 기후로 인해 외래해충의 유입이 증가하였으며 발달된 교통수단 등으로 인해 새로운 지역으로 확산이 가속화되는 추세(Bale, 2002)이므로 그 중요성이 증대하고 있다. 본 연구는 우리나라의 최근에 침입한 대표적인 흡즙성 해충인 미국선녀벌레를 대상으로 충청지역의 발생분포를 파악하기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 2018년 5월부터 8월까지 충남북 관내 주요 행정구역을 대상으로 미국선녀벌레 발생여부와 피해정도를 중심으로 조사하였다.

Road construction and maintenance of deteriorated pavement has been continued since industrialization. Demand for aggregate with a good quality has been increasing from limited resources, but it is difficult to supply aggregates smoothly due to environmental protection regulations (Jo et al., 2015). Accordingly, efforts are being made in the road construction industry to utilize industrial products for the purpose of efficient use of resources and environmental preservation. Steel slag which contains a non-reactive CaO is used primarily as a material for embankment and soil covering depending on the expansion and environmental issues. On the other hand, steel slag shows a variety of performance improvements as including increased elasticity factors, increased indirect tensile strength, and improved plastic deformation resistance when handling the expansion issue with sufficient aging processing (Ali et al., 1991, Asi et al., 2007). In this study, the behavior characteristics of the slag asphalt concrete mixture were analyzed according to temperature to encourage the use of steel slag aggregate. Specimens with steel slag showed a higher initial strain than those with natural aggregates. But strain of specimens were nearly similar over the repeated temperature changes. The experimental results for specimens with these characteristics were less likely to cause the performance problems from temperature because the measured strains were relatively small than strain caused from other loads. In conclusion, it is necessary to design and construction process reflecting the behavior characteristics according to temperature to encourage the use of steel slag aggregate.

Recently in Construction field, It has been the big issues to produce an Eco-friendly Construction material and to solve problems about the First grade–Aggregates’ supply&demand. While the Eco-friendly Construction materials which are refurbished and reproduced from construction wastes and industrial by-products have a great deal of effectiveness such as cost or CO2 emission reduction, there is an additional logistical cost due to go through with some processes for recycle such as Intermediary treatments or management and collection of materials. Furthermore, Demand of the First grade-Aggregates is rising and spreading all over the nation for the improvement of Road driving performance, But there is also an additional logistical cost for supply&demand due to the cost of transport growth by sites of construction. In this study, the process and methodology of the new material supply and demand route routings using the Arc Gis Program and the calculation of the available distance through economic analysis are presented. After examining the cost status of construction materials and logistics costs by examining the literature review and related industry, economic feasibility was obtained by comparing the price of general construction materials with the total cost of comparable materials and logistics costs. After an economic analysis, ArcGis3.0 was used to visualize the materials’ supply&demand route and As a result, We can observe the economically secured route from the construction materials’ production plant to where the domestic transportable route and nodes mapped. Throughout the study, the pre-groundwork for an efficient use of the construction materials is able to be prepared and It will be helpful to invigorate supply&demand. In addition to the economic analysis in the future, If the real-time traffic information (traffic volume, speed, environment, etc.) and the performance (structure, functionality, etc.) of each construction materials are reflected, It will be possible to build a decision system for selecting construction materials which meet consumers’ various needs.

PURPOSES:This study aimed to analyze the experimental and numerical behavior of warm mix asphalt pavement prepared using steel slag and RAP and to conduct economic analysis of pavement construction.METHODS :For developing high performance asphalt pavement, we performed three evaluations: fundamental analysis, experimental testing, and 3D finite element analysis. In particular, 3D finite element analysis was conducted on several pavement structures by adopting the results of experimental tests.RESULTS :Through the various evaluations, it was established that steel slag was effective for use as asphalt mixture aggregate. Moreover, asphalt mixture constituting steel slag and RAP demonstrated higher performance behavior compared with conventionally used asphalt mixture. Furthermore, based on the 3D FE modeling, we established that the developed asphalt pavement constituting steel slag and RAP can be utilized for thin layer pavement with comparable performance behavior.CONCLUSIONS:Warm mix asphalt pavement prepared using steel slag and RAP is more competitive and economic compared to hot-mix asphalt pavement. Moreover, it can be applied for preparing thin layer asphalt pavements with reasonable performance. The developed warm mix asphalt pavement prepared using steel slag and RAP can be an alternative pavement type with competitive performance based on the reasonable economic benefit it provides.
