FRP 시트(Sheet)를 활용한 보강 공법은 제작 과정에서의 간편함과 시공의 용이성으로 현장에서 다수 적용되고 있으며, 기존 연구자들은 FRP 시트로 보강한 철근콘크리트의 휨강도를 예측하기 위한 연구를 진행하였다. 그러나 이는 주로 탄소 섬유와 유리 섬유에 한정되어 있었다. 이 연구에서는 바잘트 섬유시트의 역학적 성질을 파악하기 위하여 물성 시험을 수행하였으며, 바잘트 섬유시트로 보강한 철근콘크리트 보의 휨실험을 수행하였다. 휨실험 결과 보강량이 증가할수록 실험체의 내력이 증가하였다. 또한 휨파괴 및 시트 파단, 시트 부착 탈락, 시트 박리가 발생하였다.

경량콘크리트와 FRP 보강근을 사용하여 구조체를 만들기 위해서는 경량콘크리트와 FRP 보강근과 사이의 부착특성을 파악하는 것이 대단히 중요하다. 앞선 연구에서 보통콘크리트와 이형 GFRP 보강근 사이의 정규화된 부착강도는 전경량콘크리트와 이형 GFRP 보강근 사이의 정규화된 부착강도보다 크게 나타났으나, 보통콘크리트와 모래분사형 GFRP 보강근 사이의 정규화된 부착강도는 전경량콘크리트와 모래분사형 GFRP 보강근 사이의 정규화된 부착강도보다 작은 값으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 보통콘크리트의 부착강도가 전경량콘크리트의 부착강도보다 더 클 것이라는 ACI의 일반적인 예상에 반하는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전경량콘크리트가 아닌 모래경량콘크리트와 모래분사형 GFRP 보강근 사이의 부착특성을 실험을 통하여 분석하고 경량콘크리트와 모래분사형 GFRP 보강근 사이의 그 일반적인 경향을 조사하였다. 실험 결과, 모래경량콘크리트에 모래분사형 GFRP 보강근을 사용한 경우의 정규화된 부착강도 역시 보통콘크리트에 모래분사형 GFRP 보강근을 사용한 경우보다 크게 나왔으며, 추후 경량콘크리트와 모래분사형 GFRP 보강근 사이의 부착특성에 대하여 더 많은 조사가 필요하다고 판단된다.

This paper presents experimental results for evaluating bond strength of FRP Hybrid Bars(HYB). In order to confirm the bond strength of HYB, direct bond strength tests were performed on 20 specimens. 20 specimens made of deformed steel bars were also tested for relative comparison. HYB and deformed steel bars were embedded in a concrete block with a size of 200 mm and different attachment lengths were applied depending on the diameter of the reinforcing bars. During the test, load and relative displacement(slip) were measured and the load-displacement behaviors of all specimens were analyzed from the measured results. The maximum bond strength of deformed steel bars were higher than that of HYB regardless of its diameter. However, after the maximum load, the deformed steel bars were more dominant than the HYB in the sudden load reduction tendency.

The purpose of this study was to develop a carbon fiber sheet with embedded fiber optic sensor for maintenance and performance improvement of aged concrete bridges. The carbon fiber sheet reinforcement method can separate the concrete and the carbon fiber sheet, so it is necessary to investigate the bond performance level. However, separation of concrete and carbon fiber sheet and investigation of concrete scaling phenomenon are carried out by human, so it is difficult to secure objectivity and accurate investigation. Therefore, in this study, a method to confirm the bond level of carbon fiber sheet by reinforcing with a carbon fiber sheet with a fiber optic sensor was examined. In this study, we investigated the strain of fiber optic sensor embedded in carbon fiber sheet to identify the separate point of carbon fiber sheet. The strain measured by fiber optic sensor was measured by numerical analysis. The strain rate of the carbon fiber sheet was compared with that of the carbon fiber sheet. As a result, it was confirmed that the strain was changed at the point where the carbon fiber sheet was separated, and the strain occurred in the carbon fiber sheet was examined to predict the separate point.

CONCLUSIONS: According to the results of laboratory bond strength evaluation, the field bond strength evaluation results suggest applying the proposed correction factor (0.8, 1.0, 1.4, 1.9) according to aspect ratio(0.5, 0.1, 1.5, 2.0), For more objective evaluation of the bond strength, it is analyzed that the evaluation value is within 6 ~ 32℃ and the result can be obtained within 5% of the coefficient of variation.

In recent years, pavement distresses have been caused by diverse factors such as spalling, deterioration of repaired sections, blow-up, and alkali aggregate reaction due to changing climate environment of a concrete pavement and its construction and maintenance conditions (supply of materials, increase in use of de-icers, etc,). As a leading repair method for deteriorated concrete pavements, partial-depth repair is implemented in accordance with guidelines of material properties for joints of a concrete pavement and field application evaluation systems, but still some of the repaired sections become deteriorated again at an early stage due to poor construction quality and failure of response to environmental impacts. Distresses that can be corrected with partial-depth repairs are largely divided into those of repair materials and of the existing pavement bonded to repair materials, and combined distress of repair materials and the existing pavement. Although re-repair methods should be different by distress type and scale than conventional pavement repair methods, appropriate repair methods and guidance for re-repairs have not been in place so far, and therefore currently, re-repair practices follow the existing manual of partial depth repairs. Therefore, this study evaluated concrete bond characteristics by removing method and repair scope for an experimental section of frequently distressed pavements to determine a re-repair scope and method for deteriorated partial depth repair sections of concrete pavement, the number of which has increased over time.

Composite pavements are constructed by placing a high functional asphalt surface layer on a high performance concrete rigid base layer and provide a more durable, high functional surface to road users. Service life of composite pavements is dependent on the bonding performance of the lower rigid base and the flexible surface layer. Accordingly, it is necessary to place an impermeability layer between the functional surface layer and the rigid base to enhance bonding performance and to prevent moisture penetration into the rigid base and deterioration of pavement. In order to use optimal composite pavement sections, two types were applied to impermeability layer: highly impermeable water-tight SMA and mastic asphalt currently in use. APT (Accelerated Pavement Testing) and experimental construction were carried out to evaluate bond strengths between the rigid base and the impermeability layer depending on the type of impermeability layers. Composite pavement sections for the APT had a 22 cm concrete rigid base layer and a 5cm functional surface, as well as either 5cm of SMA impermeability layer and 5cm of mastic layer. After applying around 8,574,000 ESALs, pull-off test was conducted, which showed that the mastic section outperformed the SMA section. In the experimental construction, three types of rigid base layers, JCP (Jointed Concrete Pavement), CRCP (Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement), and RCCP (Roller Compacted Concrete Pavement), were used for composite pavement sections, and as in the APT, two types of impermeability layers, SMA and mastic, were used per rigid base layer of new and deteriorated concrete pavement. Therefore, seven composite pavement sections in total were constructed. We measured the bond strength over one year or so following the construction of these composite pavement sections and found that regardless of the type of rigid base layer and whether it was new or not, those sections with a mastic impermeability layer had high bond strengths.

Generally, asphalt binder experiences short-term aging during mixing and constructing processes in high temperature environments and long-term aging during the service life after opening the road. Binder aging inside asphalt mixtures incurs changes in strength of asphalt paved roads, which then changes physical properties of the mixture such as cracks and rutting resistance. This study aims to measure bond strength of aging asphalt binder using asphalt bond strength (ABS) test that can measure a bonding force of asphalt binder and aggregate surface using Pneumatic Adhesion Tensile Testing Instrument (PATTI) used previously in the paint industry as a testing method specified in AASHTO TP-91.

The purpose of this study is to develop a carbon fiber sheet with embedded fiber optic sensor for maintenance and performance improvement of aged concrete bridges. The carbon fiber sheet bonded method has many advantages in terms of member repair and reinforcement, but it is disadvantageous in that it is necessary to directly identify the separate point generated during the bonded of the carbon fiber sheets by an artificial method. In this study, we examined the method of confirming the separate point of the carbon fiber sheets by examining the strain of the fiber optic sensor embedded in the carbon fiber sheets. The strain rate measured by the fiber optic sensor was replaced by the strain of the carbon fiber sheets derived from the FEM analysis.

PURPOSES: A composite pavement utilizes both an asphalt surface and a concrete base. Typically, a concrete base layer provides structural capacity, while an asphalt surface layer provides smoothness and riding quality. This pavement type can be used in conjunction with rollercompacted concrete (RCC) pavement as a base layer due to its fast construction, economic efficiency, and structural performance. However, the service life and functionality of composite pavement may be reduced due to interfacial bond failure. Therefore, adequate interfacial bonding between the asphalt surface and the concrete base is essential to achieving monolithic behavior. The purpose of this study is to investigate the bond characteristics at the interface between asphalt (HMA; hot-mixed asphalt) and the RCC baseMETHODS: This study was performed to determine the optimal type and application rate of tack coat material for RCC-base composite pavement. In addition, the core size effect, temperature condition, and bonding failure shape were analyzed to investigate the bonding characteristics at the interface between the RCC base and HMA surface. To evaluate the bond strength, a pull-off test was performed using different diameters of specimens such as 50 mm and 100 mm. Tack coat materials such as RSC-4 and BD-Coat were applied in amounts of 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, and 1.1ℓ/m2 to determine the optimal application rate. In order to evaluate the bond strength characteristics with temperature changes, a pull-off test was carried out at -15, 0, 20, and 40 °C. In addition, the bond failure shapes were analyzed using an image analysis program after the pull-off tests were completed.RESULTS: The test results indicated that the optimal application rate of RSC-4 and BD-Coat were 0.8ℓ/m2, 0.9 ℓ/m2, respectively. The core size effect was determined to be negligible because the bond strengths were similar in specimens with diameters of 50 mm and 100 mm. The bond strengths of RSC-4 and BD-Coat were found to decrease significantly when the temperature increased. As a result of the bonding failure shape in low-temperature conditions such as -15, 0, and 20 °C, it was found that most of the debonding occurred at the interface between the tack coat and RCC surface. On the other hand, the interface between the HMA and tack coat was weaker than that between the tack coat and RCC at a high temperature of 40 °C.CONCLUSIONS: This study suggested an optimal application rate of tack coat materials to apply to RCC-base composite pavement. The bond strengths at high temperatures were significantly lower than the required bond (tensile) strength of 0.4 MPa. It was known that the temperature was a critical factor affecting the bond strength at the interface of the RCC-base composite pavement.

최근 여름철 집중호우 및 폭염지속, 겨울철 폭설 등 이상기후 와 2000년대 들어 버스전용차선이 본격적으로 시행되고 차량하중의 중량화로 인한 직․간접적인 요인으로 인하여 도로파손이 가속화 되고 있다. 서울특별시의 포트홀(Pothole) 발생 현황을 살펴보면 2006년도에는 3만 8천 건에서 2010년도에는 7만 7천 건으로 두 배 이상 급증하였다(서울연구원 2012). 수분손상(Moisture Damage)및 박리(Stripping)현상은 강수에 의한 수분의 침투로 아스팔트 피막과 골재사이의 접착력을 약화시키고 이는 도로의 강성과 내구성의 손실로 도로파손이 빈번히 발생하게 되며 도로자체의 구조적 문제적인 문제까지 야기시키게 된다. 제안된 문제들의 해결을 위한 첫 걸음으로 아스팔트 혼합물의 수분에 대한 저항성을 객관적으로 보다 손쉽게 평가할 수 있는 실험법이 필요한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 AASHTO TP – 91에 규정되어 있는 ABS(Asphalt Bond Strength) Test를 이용하여 수분 손상에 따른 골재와 아스팔트 바인더와의 접착 특성을 평가하고 이를 AASHTO T 283에서 제시하고 있는 아스팔트 혼합물의 수분민감도 평가 방법인 인장강도 비(Tensile Strength Ratio, TSR) 시험 방법과 비교 평가하여 수분 손상에 따른 골재와 아스팔트 바인더와의 접착 특성이 아스팔트 혼합물의 강도 특성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 상기 그림에서와 같이 아스팔트 점착 강도 시험은 간단한 시험시편 제작과 시험조건으로 손쉽게 수분 손상을 평가할 수 있으며, 분석방법 역시 골재와 아스팔트 바인더 사이에서의 강도 변화를 직접적으로 측정할 수 있어 실험 결과에 대한 신뢰성이 높은 장점을 가진다. 수분 손상에 따른 골재와 아스팔트 바인더의 점착력 변화와 아스팔트 혼합물의 강도 변화를 비교 평가한 결과, 두 평가방법이 상호간의 상당히 높은 상관관계를 나타내었으며, 골재와 아스팔트 바인더와의 점착력을 이용하여 아스팔트 혼합물의 수분 손상 대한 평가 기준 제시(품질기준)가 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 다만, 본 연구에서는 재료의 품질 특성 평가만을 수행하였기 때문에 수분 손상에 대한 아스팔트 혼합물의 구조적 특성 등을 평가하여 실제 포장의 공용수명에 미치는 영향 등에 대하여 추가적인 연구가 수행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Plastic) has a superior corrosion resistance, high specific strength/stiffness, etc. Therefore, such properties can be used to mitigate the problems associated with the use of conventional construction materials. In this study, the various rib and pitch distance of hybrid fiber GFRP bars were evaluated by experimental method. From the test result, thirty two types of FRP hybrid bars such as spiral type with the dimension of rib geometry were fabricated. To evaluate the bond properties of them, direct pull-out test was performed. All testing procedures including specimen preparation, set-up of test equipment and measuring devices were made in accordance with the recommendations of ASTM D 7913. From the test results, it was found that cross type hybrid GFRP reinforcing bars showed the highest bond strength than that of the others due to the higher relative rib area.

PURPOSES:The objectives of this study are to evaluate moisture sensitivity of various asphalt mixtures and to suggest an alternate method for the dynamic immersion test, which is used to determine the application of anti-stripping agent, by analyzing bond strength.METHODS:The bond strength of various asphalt mixtures such as hot mix asphalt, warm mix asphalt, and polymer-modified asphalt was evaluated by the ABS test. In order to characterize moisture sensitivity at different temperatures of the mixtures, the ABS test was conducted at -10°C, 5°C, 20°C, 40°C, and 54°C under both dry and wet conditions. The concept of the bond strength ratio was applied for objective moisture sensitivity analysis. Moreover, the bond strength characteristic was compared to the dynamic immersion test to suggest an alternate method to determine the application of anti-stripping agent.RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS :Overall, the polymer-modified asphalt demonstrates the highest bond strength characteristic regardless of moisture condition and temperature. The bond strength characteristic displays a highly reliable linear relationship from 5°C to 40°C, and the relationship could be used to predict bond strength at any intermediate temperature. Based on the analysis of bond strength and retained asphalt ratio, the bond strength value of 1254 kPa could be applied as a criterion for anti-stripping agent.

OBJECTIVES: Bituminous materials, such as tack coat, are utilized between pavement layers for improving the bond strength in pavement construction sites. The standards regarding the application of bituminous material are not clearly presented in the Korean construction guideline without RS(C)-4. Hence, the objective of this study is to determine the optimum content of bituminous materials by analyzing interlayer shear strength (ISS) from the direct shear tester, which was developed in this research. The shear strength of tack coat was defined with the sort of bituminous materials. METHODS : The mixtures for the shear test were made using marshall mix design. The specimens were vertically and horizontally separated for the direct shear test. The separated specimens were bonded using bituminous material. The objectives of the experiment are to determine the performance of bond and shear properties resulting from slippage, rutting, shovel, and corrugation of asphalt pavements. A machine based on the Louisiana interlayer shear strength tester (LISST) of NCHRP Report-712 was developed to determine the ISS. The applied types of tack coat were RS(C)-4, AP-3, QRS-4, and BD-coat with contents of 0.3ℓ/m2, 0.45ℓ/m2, 0.6ℓ/m2, and 0.8ℓ/m2, respectively. RESULTS: Table 2 gives the results of the direct shear test using the developed shear machine. The BD-coat type indicated the highest average ISS value compared to the others. Between the surface and binder course, optimum tack coat application rates for AP-3, RS(C)-4, QRS-4, and BD-Coat were 0.6ℓ/m2, 0.3ℓ/m2, 0.6ℓ/m2, and 0.45ℓ/m2, respectively. These optimum contents were determined using the ISS value. CONCLUSIONS: The ISS values of AP-3, RS(C)-4, and QRS-4 showed similar tendencies when ISS increased in the range 0.3~0.6ℓ/m2, while ISS decreased when the applied rate exceeded 0.6ℓ/m2. Similarly, the highest ISS value of the BD-coat was observed when the applied rate was 0.45 ℓ/m2. However, shear strength was similar to the maximum value of ISS when the tack-coat application rate of BD-Coat exceeded 0.45ℓ/m2.

FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) reinforced lightweight concrete structures can offer corrosion resistance and weight reduction effect simultaneously, so practical use of the structures may be expected afterwards. But, to construct the concrete structures using lightweight concrete and FRP bar, one of many important things to be previously investigated is to study bond characteristic between the lightweight concrete and the FRP bar. So, bond characteristics between lightweight concrete and two types of GFRP bar (helically deformed GFRP bar and sand coated GFRP bar) were investigated in this study. To do this study, literature review and bond strength test using a number of bond strength specimens were conducted. As a result, it could be seen that the bond strength of helically deformed GFRP bar and sand coated GFRP bar in the lightweight concrete were 49% and 81%, respectively, for the bond strength of steel reinforcement in the normal concrete.

The influence of NiCrAlY bond coating on the adhesion properties of an Fe thermal coating sprayed on an Al substrate was investigated. By applying a bond coat, an adhesion strength of 21MPa was obtained, which was higher than the 15.5MPa strength of the coating without the bond coat. Formation of cracks at the interface of the bond coat and the Al substrate was suppressed by applying the bond coat. Microstructural analysis of the coating interface using EBSD and TEM indicated that the dominant bonding mechanism was mechanical interlocking. Mechanical interlocking without crack defects in the coating interface may improve the adhesion strength of the coating. In conclusion, the use of an NiCrAlY bond coat is an effective method of improving the adhesion properties of thermal sprayed Fe coatings on Al substrates.

PURPOSES : This study focuses on the evaluation of interface performance with varying surface texture and tack coat application in an asphalt overlay. METHODS : The evaluation is carried out in two phases: tracking test and interface bond strength test. Using an image processing tool, tracking test is conducted to evaluate the susceptibility of the tack coat material to produce excessive tracking during application. Using the pull-off test method, the bond strength test is performed to determine the ability of the interface layer to resist failure. RESULTS: Results show that the underseal application yields less tracking compared to other applications. However, the bond strength is barely within the minimum acceptable value. On the other hand, RSC-4 produces higher bond strength for all surface types, but the drying time is long, which produces excessive tracking. CONCLUSIONS: While underseal application may be suitable for a trackless condition, the bond strength is less appealing compared to the rest of the tack applications available. RSC-4 demonstrated a high and consistent bond strength performance, but more time is required for drying to avoid excessive tracking. Tack coat application and surface type combination produce varying results. Therefore, these should be considered when selecting suitable future tack coat application options.

In this work, we studied the effects of electrochemical oxidation treatments of carbon fibers (CFs) on interfacial adhesion between CF and epoxy resin with various current densities. The surface morphologies and properties of the CFs before and after electrochemical-oxidation-treatment were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and single-fiber contact angle. The mechanical interfacial shear strength of the CFs/epoxy matrix composites was investigated by using a micro-bond method. From the results, electrochemical oxidation treatment introduced oxygen functional groups and increased roughness on the fiber surface. The mechanical interfacial adhesion strength also showed higher values than that of an untreated CF-reinforced composite.
