PURPOSES : The hydrated lime-modified asphalt, which improves moisture resistance, is normally used for pavements to reduce the number of potholes. However, the method of applying the material properties of the lime-modified asphalt mixture for use in pavements is not covered in the Korean Pavement Research Program (KPRP). The objective of this research is to find a method for the design application of lime-modified asphalt’s material properties to the KPRP. METHODS: The section for test design is selected in some conditions which are related to the level of design regarding Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT). To define the application methods of hydrated lime in the KPRP, the models of fatigue, rut and international roughness index (IRI) are determined based on the M-EPDG test results from some earlier research results. Moreover, it is well known that dynamic moduli of the unmodified mixture are not different from those of the lime-modified mixture. RESULTS: The performance results of hydrated lime-modified asphalt pavement were not very much different from those of the unmodified pavement, which meant the limited design regulations regarding fatigue failure, rutting deformation and IRI. CONCLUSIONS: The KPRP uses the weather model from the data for previous 10 years. It implies that the KPRP cannot predict abnormal climate changes accurately. Hence, the predictive weather data regarding the abnormal climate changes are unreliable. Secondly, the KPRP cannot apply the moisture resistance of asphalt mixtures. Therefore, a second level of design study will have to be performed to reflect the influence of moisture. It means that the influence on pavement performance can be changed by the application of hydrated lime in asphalt mixture design.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of rapid-setting polymer-modified asphalt mixtures with a high reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) content. METHODS: A literature review revealed that emulsified asphalt is actively used for cold-recycled pavement. First, two types of rapid-setting polymer-modified asphalt emulsion were prepared for application to high-RAP material with no virgin material content. The quick-setting polymer-modified asphalt mixtures using two types of rapid-setting polymer-modified asphalt emulsion were subjected to the following tests: 1) Marshall stability test, 2) water immersion stability test and 3) indirect tensile strength ratio test. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS : Additional re-calibration of the RAP was needed for laboratory verification because the results of analyzing RAP aggregates, which were collected from different job sites, did not deviate from the normal range. The Marshall stability of each type of binder under dry conditions was good. However, the Type B mixtures with bio-additives performed better in the water immersion stability test. Moreover, the overall results of the indirect tensile strength test of RAP mixtures with Type B emulsions exceeded 0.7. Further research, consisting of lab testing and on-site application, will be performed to verify the possibility of using RAP for minimizing the closing of roadways.

CSA, a cement mineral compound that is mainly composed of 3CaO·3Al2O3·CaSO4, generates ettringite as a hydration product after a reaction with glass (lime), gypsum and water to speed up the hardening process and enhance the strength and degree of expansion. When used as a cement admixture, there is increased production of ettringite, which can improve the initial strength in the first three days and ameliorate the reduction in the initial strength caused by the use of fly ash in particular. In this study, a hydrate analysis was performed using XRD and SEM after substitution with fly ash (30%) and CSA (8%) with the goal of observing the effect of CSA on the initial strength of a cement mixture containing fly ash. The results of the analysis showed that an addition of CSA promoted the production of ettringite and improved the initial strength, resulting in the generation of hydrates, which can effectively enhance the long-term strength of these materials.

혼합 비료를 유도용액으로 하는 정삼투식 해수담수화에서 담수화 성능에 대한 유도용액 농도의 영향을 조사하였 다. 혼합비료용액(DS)의 농도가 증가함에 따라 수투과선속은 거의 선형적으로 증가하였으나, PR (performance ratio)은 감소 하였다. 또한 혼합비료용액의 농도가 600 g/L일 때, 해수 및 탈이온수를 각각 공급용액으로 하였을 경우 각각의 PR은 5.39 및 6.50이었다. 혼합비료용액의 농도가 증가함에 따라 N, P 및 K의 역용질선속은 거의 선형적으로 증가하였으나, 비역용질선 속은 감소하였다. 역용질선속과 비역용질선속은 모두 질소(N) > 칼륨(K) > 인(P) 순으로 높게 나타났다.

PURPOSES : It is to evaluate lightweight soil as a subgrade material based on mechanical tests and calculation of pavement performance. METHODS : In this research, various contents of cement and air foam are used to make lightweight soil using wasted dredged soil. Uniaxial compressive strength test is conducted to evaluate strength of 7 and 28 day cured specimens. Secant modulus was calculated based on the stress and strain relationship of uniaxial compressive strength test. Resilient modulus test was measured using by repeated triaxial compression test. The measured resilient modulus was used in layered elastic program to predict fatigue and rutting life at a given pavement structure. RESULTS : Uniaxial compressive strength increases as cement content increases but decrease as air foam content increases. Resilient modulus also increases as cement content increases and decrease as air foam content decrease. CONCLUSIONS : It is concluded that dredge clay soil can be used as subgrade layer material using by lightweight treated soil method.

PURPOSES : The main purposes of this study are to examine the influences of polyethylene wax-based WMA additive on the optimum asphalt content of warm-recycled asphalt mixture based on the Marshall mix design and to evaluate performance of warm-recycled asphalt mixture containing 30% RAP with polyethylene wax-based WMA additive. METHODS: Physical and rheological properties of the residual asphalt were evaluated in terms of penetration, softening point, ductility and performance grade (PG) in order to examine the effects of polyethylene wax-based WMA additive on the residual asphalt. Also, To evaluate performance characteristics of the warm-recycled asphalt mixtures using polyethylene wax-based WMA additive along with a control hot-recycled asphalt mixture, indirect tensile strength test, modified Lottman test, dynamic immersion test, wheel tracking test and dynamic modulus test were conduced in the laboratory. RESULTS : Based on the limited laboratory test results, polyethylene wax-based WMA additive is effective to decrease mixing and compacting temperatures without compromising the volumetric characteristics of warm-recycled asphalt mixtures compared to hot-recycled asphalt mixture. Also, it doesn't affect the optimum asphalt content on recycled-asphalt mixture. All performance test results show that the performance of warm-recycled asphalt mixture using polyethylene wax-based WMA additive is similar to that of a control hot-recycled asphalt mixture. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the performance of warm-recycled asphalt mixture using polyethylene wax-based WMA additive is comparable to hot-recycled asphalt mixture.

This study describes the amendment of Durbin's k-∈-v2-f model and its application to turbulent channel flow to test the model’s performance. Modeling redistribution and dissipation rate terms for the scalar v2 transport equation is considered by the elliptic blending equation which is used in the second moment closure generally. The prediction results are directly compared to the DNS and Durbin's original k-∈-v2-f model to assess the performance of the new model predictions and to show their reasonable agreement with the DNS and Durbin's model for all the flow characteristics that are analyzed for the present study.

The quality characteristics of Korean rice cakes (Karedduk) with a mixture of maltooligosaccharide and OSA (octenyl succinic acid starch) added, after 2 and 24 hr of storage at 5℃, was analyzed. A central composite design was used for arrangement of treatment. The two independent variables selected for retarding retrogradation analysis were amounts of maltooligosaccharide (x) and OSA (y). Maltooligosaccharide was added at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12% levels, and OSA added at 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, and 1.2% levels, to dry rice flour. The texture properties analysis using a Texture Analyzer revealed that the springiness and cohesiveness (p<0.01), chewiness, gumminess and hardness (p<0.001) were significantly different after 24 hr of storage at 5℃. The effect of retarding retrogradation of Korean rice cakes with added mixtures of maltooligosaccharide and OSA showed an increasing trend as the amount of maltooligosaccharide increased. Overall, the instrumental texture properties were highly correlated with the sensory characteristics. These results suggest that adding a mixture of 6% maltooligosaccharide and 0.6% OSA to Korean rice cakes (Karedduk) is effective for retarding retrogradation.

순환식 수경재배에서 배액의 EC, 부피, 관수량은 재사용 양액의 혼합비율을 결정하는 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 적산 일사량 제어법으로 관수할 경우 일일 관수량의 예측은 곤란하며 일반적으로 고정된 혼합비율을 사용한다. 이 경우 새 양액이 고정적으로 투입되어 양분의 조정 효과가 기대되지만, 때때로 배액의 강제배출을 필요로 한다. 본 연구는 적산 일사량 제어법으로 관수하는 순환식 수경재배 조건에서 배액의 혼합비를 고정한 처리구(FR)와 정해진 혼합 용량 내에서 배액의 부피와 EC에 따라 혼합비를 변경하는 처리구(MR)의 재사용 양액 내 양분 조정효과를 비교하여 양수분 이용효율이 높은 혼합방식의 규명에 기여하고자 수행하였다. 배액의 농도 변화를 비교하기 위한 대조구로는 비순환식 수경재배 처리구(OP)를 구성하였다. FR처리구의 배액 혼합 비율은 배액의 희석 EC를 각각1.0, 2.0dS·m-1로 설정하여 혼합처리를 적용하였다. MR 처리구의 경우는 혼합 용량을 1회 관수량을 기준으로 배액의 EC와 부피에 따라 혼합비율이 변경되도록 하였다. 배액의 누적 현상은 FR 1.0 처리구에서 관찰되었으며, FR 2.0과 MR 처리구에서는 배액 누적현상이 나타나지는 않았으나 MR 처리구의 배액 저장량이 FR 2.0 처리구에 비해서 낮게 나타났다. 배액과 재사용 양액 내 Mg2+:K+:Ca2+와 SO2-4:NO-3:PO3-4의 당량 농도 간 비율 변화는 FR, MR 처리구에서 초기비율 대비 비교적 좁은 변화 범위를 나타냈다.

환경보호에 부응하고 고에너지효율성을 갖춘 중온아스팔트혼합물이 가열아스팔트혼합물의 대안으로 부각되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 아스파민을 혼합하여 제조한 중온아스팔트혼합물을 실험적으로 평가하고, 역학적-경험적 포장설계법인 MEPDG를 이용하여 설계한 결과를 일반아스팔트혼합물 설계와 비교하는 것이다. 실험재료는 최대공칭치수 12.5mm인 골재와 PG64-28바인더가 사용되었으며, 기존 혼합물, 0.3%와 0.5%의 아스파민을 혼합한 중온아스팔트혼합물에 대한 회복탄성계수실험이 실시되었다. 실험결과를 MEPDG 설계의 입력변수로 하여 분석한 결과, 아스파민을 사용한 중온아스팔트혼합물의 소성변형량이 일반혼합물에 비해 훨씬 적어 소성변형에 대한 저항성이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

The continuous transesterification of mixed fat was done on the plug flow reactor packed with the static mixers. The transesterification using 0.5 wt% KOH, 0.8 wt% TMAH and mixed catalyst[40 v/v% KOH(0.5 wt%)+60 v/v% TMAH(0.8 wt%)] was conducted with the changes of molar ratios, weight percentage of beef, flow rates and number of static mixer's elements at 65℃. The overall conversion of mixed fat at 1:8 molar ratio, 50 wt% of beef and 24 of static mixer's elements increased until 0.7mL/min of flow rate. The overall conversion of mixed fat showed 96% at those conditions. So, the optimum operating conditions on tublar reactor were 1:8 molar ratio, 50 wt% of beef, 0.7 mL/min of flow rate and 24 of static mixer' s elements.

Retarding retrogradation of Korean rice cakes(Karedduk) with a mixture of trehalose and Sun-Tender added, after 0, 24, and 48 hr of storage at 5℃, was analyzed by Avrami kinetics. A central composite design was used for arrangement of treatment. The two independent variables selected for retarding retrogradation analysis were amounts of trehalose(x) and Sun-Tender(y). Trehalose was added at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12% levels, and Sun-Tender added at 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, and 1.2% levels, to dry rice flour. The Avrami exponent(n) for the mixtures of 9% trehalose and 0.3% Sun-Tender, and 9% trehalose and 0.9% Sun-Tender were lower than in the control. The time constant(1/k) for the mixture of trehalose and Sun-Tender was higher than in the control. The effect of retarding retrogradation of Korean rice cakes with added mixtures of trehalose and Sun-Tender showed an increasing trend as the amount of trehalose increased. These results suggest that adding a mixture of 9% trehalose and 0.3% Sun-Tender, or 9% trehalose and 0.9% Sun-Tender to Korean rice cakes(Karedduk) is effective for retarding retrogradation.

The esterification of palmitic acid in Jatropha Oil using 8wt% p-TSA catalyst was done at the 1:8 molar ratio of oil to methanol and 65℃. The conversion of palmitic acid appeared to be 95.3% in 60min. After that, the continuous transesterification of the oil using 0.5wt% KOH, 0.8wt% TMAH mixed catalyst[40vol% KOH(0.5wt%) + 60vol% TMAH(0.8wt%)] and 1.1wt% TMAH was conducted with the flow rates and the molar ratios at 65℃. The overall conversion of Jatropha Oil increased with the decrease of flow rate and showed 95.6% with 9ml/min of flow rate at the 1:8 molar ratio of oil to methanol and 65℃. But it showed 87% with 15ml/min of flow rate at the same conditions. The recovery of methanol(%) appeared to be 86% at the 1:8 molar ratio of oil to methanol, mixed catalyst and 65℃.

본 논문은 준고온 첨가제가 혼입된 3 종류(일반아스팔트, SBS 및 SMA)의 아스팔트 혼합물 다짐도 변화에 대한 시험 결과이다. 다짐 특성을 조사 분석하기 위하여 다짐 시간 변화와 준고온 첨가제 함량 변화에 의한 다짐도 측정을 실시하였으며, 다짐 온도를 일반시료에 비하여 30℃ 및 50℃를 낮추어 밀도를 비교하였다. 선회 다짐 장비를 사용하여 다짐 횟수 변화에 따른 다짐밀도의 변화를 측정하였다. 다짐시간 경과와 다짐도의 관계는 3 종류의 준고온 첨가제를 일반 아스팔트에 첨가하여 다짐시간 변화와 첨가제 함량 변화에 따른 다짐도를 측정하였다. 온도 저감에 따른 다짐도 비교는 일반 아스팔트 혼합물, 고분자 개질 아스팔트 및 SMA 혼합물 3 종류의 혼합물을 사용하여 시험을 실시하였다. 준고온 아스팔트 혼합물은 다짐온도 저감으로 인하여 일반시료 아스팔트 혼합물과 밀도의 차이가 발생하지 않아서 다짐도가 안정된 상태를 나타냈다. 한편, 혼합물의 종류 및 준고온 첨가제의 종류에 따라 밀도의 차이, 다짐도 변화의 추이 변화가 발견되어 이들 두 인자 사이에 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
