Since 2010, old concrete pavement of expressway in Korea has approached the design life or exceeded it. As a result, the amount of maintenance for various types of distresses has also been increasing. In addition, there is increasing a demand for improvement in riding quality due to poor roughness. In this paper, when applying a diamond grinding method (DG) to improve the functionality of aged concrete pavement, a program to predict the 3D road surface profile was developed. Two field tests were conducted for program verification, and the comparison with the existing program and equipment was performed. As a result of the evaluation, the predicted result of the program was very similar to those actually measured using the existing roughness measuring equipment, and the error of the two results was about 5%. As a result of the roughness prediction using the 2D road surface profile measured before DG construction, it was similar to the existing program ProVAL. Using the data obtained by the 3D profile measuring equipment, it is confirmed that the prediction of how the IRI of the road will change in 3D is possible. In the future, through supplementary algorithms and economic analysis modules, it is possible to provide a tool for efficient budget execution of road maintenance agencies.

As a surface treatment method of concrete pavement in Korea, transverse tinning has initially been applied to improve drainage and friction at first. Since 2003, in order to reduce the noise of concrete pavement, longitudinal tinning have been studied and proved its superiority. Therefore, Korea Expressway Corporation (KEC) has applied this as surface texturing method in concrete pavement from 2008 to the present. However, the lateral vibration during vehicle running has been continuously raised in the longitudinal tinning section, and lots of efforts have been made to solve this problem. Nonetheless, complaints still occur intermittently in some sections. In this research, three sections in which complaints occur and three test sections were chosen to evaluate characteristics of lateral vibration between tire and longitudinal texturing. Based on the literature survey on the correlation between longitudinal texturing and tire, evaluation of the site and FEM analysis of each road surface were carried out. As a result of the analysis, the lateral vibration occurred most frequently in the random tinning section compared to other sections, and it was relatively few at the other improved tinning of the test section. Further studies on various tire types and timing intervals in the future will provide a standard of longitudinal texturing, which will reduce lateral vibration.
