Thirdly, FEM analysis was performed to evaluate stress condition, based on temperature data from field. Finally, performance prediction was done with KPRP program. RESULTS: From the distress evaluation, failure of inside tunnel was much less than it of outside tunnel, Temperature change in tunnel was less than out side, and also it was more stable. According to result of FEM analysis, both curling stress status of inside tunnel was lower than it of outside tunnel. Based on KPRP program analysis, performance of inside tunnel was longer than outside. CONCLUSIONS : Through all study about behavior and performance of concrete pavement in tunnel, condition in tunnel has more advantages from environmental and distress point of view. Therefore, performance of inside tunnel was better than outside.

PURPOSES : The objective of this paper is to develop a pavement performance model based on the Bayesian algorithm, and compare the measured and predicted performance data. METHODS : In this paper, several pavement types such as SMA (stone mastic asphalt), PSMA (polymer-modified stone mastic asphalt), PMA (polymer-modified asphalt), SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) modified asphalt, and DGA (dense-graded asphalt) are modeled in terms of the performance evaluation of pavement structures, using the Bayesian algorithm. RESULTS : From case studies related to the performance model development, the statistical parameters of the mean value and standard deviation can be obtained through the Bayesian algorithm, using the initial performance data of two different pavement cases. Furthermore, an accurate performance model can be developed, based on the comparison between the measured and predicted performance data. CONCLUSIONS : Based on the results of the case studies, it is concluded that the determined coefficients of the nonlinear performance models can be used to accurately predict the long-term performance behaviors of DGA and modified asphalt concrete pavements. In addition, the developed models were evaluated through comparison studies between the initial measurement and prediction data, as well as between the final measurement and prediction data. In the model development, the initial measured data were used.

PURPOSES: This study aims to develop a repair material that can enhance pavement performance, inducing rapid traffic opening through early strength development and fast setting time by utilizing MgO-based patching materials for repairing road pavements. METHODS : To consider the applicability of MgO-based patching materials for repairing domestic road pavements, first, strength development and setting time of the materials were evaluated, based on MgO to KH2PO4 ratio, water to binder ratio, and addition ratio of retarder (Borax), by which the optimal mixture ratio of the developed material was obtained. To validate the performance of the developed material as a repair material, the strength(compressive strength and bonding strength) and durability (freezing, thawing, and chloride ion penetration resistance) was checked through testing, and its applicability was evaluated. RESULTS : The results showed that when an MgO-based patching material was used, the condensation time was reduced by 80%, and the compressive strength was enhanced by approximately 300%, as compared to existing cement-based repair materials. In addition, it was observed that the strength (compressive strength and bonding strength) and durability (freezing and thawing, and chloride ion penetration resistance) showed an excellent performance that satisfied the regulations. CONCLUSIONS : The results imply that an emergent repair/restoration could be covered by a rapid-hardening cement to meet the traffic limitation (i.e. the traffic restriction is only several hours for repair treatment). Furthermore, MgO-based patching materials can improve bonding strength and durability compared to existing repair materials.

PURPOSES : This study primarily focused on evaluating the performance characteristics of 4.75-mm nominal maximum aggregate size (NMAS) asphalt mixtures for their more effective implementation to a layered flexible pavement system. METHODS: The full-scale pavements in the FDOT’s accelerated pavement testing (APT) program, including 4.75-mm mixtures at the top with different thicknesses and asphalt binder types, were considered for the faster and more realistic evaluation of the rutting performance. The results of superpave indirect tensile (IDT) tests and hot-mix asphalt fracture mechanics (HMA-FM) based model predictions were used for cracking performance assessments. RESULTS: The results indicated that the rutting performance of pavement structures with 4.75-mm mixtures may not be as good as to those with the typical 12.5-mm mixtures, and pavement rutting was primarily confined to the top layer of 4.75-mm mixtures. This was likely due to the relatively higher mixture instability and lower shear resistance compared to 12.5-mm mixtures. The energy ratio (ER) and HMA-FM based model performance prediction results showed a potential benefit of 4.75-mm mixtures in enhanced cracking resistance. CONCLUSIONS : In relation to their implementation, the best use of 4.75-mm mixtures seem to be as a surface course for low-trafficvolume applications. These mixtures can also be properly used as a preservation treatment that does not necessarily last as long as 12.5-mm NMAS structural mixes. It is recommended that adequate thicknesses and binder types be considered for the proper application of a 4.75-mm mixture in asphalt pavements to effectively resist both rutting and cracking.

PURPOSES: This study intends to develop an inorganic soil pavement material using industrial by-products and to evaluate its applicability as a road pavement material. METHODS: In this study, a compressive strength experiment was conducted based on the NaOH solution molarity and water glass content to understand the strength properties of the soil pavement material according to the mixing ratio of alkali activator. In addition, the strength characteristic of the inorganic soil pavement material was analyzed based on the binder content. The performance of the soil pavement was evaluated by conducing an accelerated pavement test and a falling weight deflectometer (FWD) test. RESULTS: As a result of the soil pavement material test based on the mixture ratio of alkali activator, it was identified that the activator that mixed a 10 M NaOH solution to water glass in a 5:5 ratio is appropriate. As a result of the inorganic soil pavement materials test based on the binder content, the strength development increased sharply when the amount of added binder was over 300 kg; this level of binder content satisfied 28 days of 18 MPa of compression strength, which is the standard for existing soil pavement design. According to the measured results of the FWD test, the dynamic k-value did not show a significant difference before or after the accelerated pavement testing. Furthermore, the effective modulus decreased by approximately 50%, compared with the initial effective modulus for pedestrian pavement. CONCLUSIONS: Based on these results, inorganic soil pavement can be applied by changing the mixture proportions according to the use of the pavement, and can be utilized as road pavement from light load roads to access roads.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance properties of chip seals and fog seals with polymer-modified emulsions. METHODS : The performance of chip seals and fog seals was evaluated on the basis of common issues in surface treatments. Granite aggregate and four types of asphalt emulsions (one of the unmodified and three of the modified emulsions) were used considering the usage in field. A Vialit test was performed to determine the aggregate retention, and the MMLS3 (Third Scale Model Mobile Load Simulator) test was conducted to determine the aggregate retention, bleeding, and rutting. In addition, the fog seal specimens were tested by the BPT (British Pendulum Test) to evaluate skid resistance. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS : Overall, the polymer-modified emulsions (PMEs) showed better aggregate retention and bleeding resistance for both chip seals and fog seals. When comparing the performance of the PMEs, the difference was not considerable. In addition, PMEs present significantly better rutting resistance than unmodified emulsions. For skid resistance, if the recommended mix design is applied, the specimens do not cause issues with skid resistance. Although all of the fog seal specimens were over the criteria for skid resistance, the specimen fabricated by the high emulsion application rate (EAR) of the unmodified emulsion was nearly equivalent to the skid value criteria. Therefore, the use of an unmodified emulsion with a high EAR should be carefully applied in the field.

PURPOSES: This study aims to evaluate the performance of interlocking block pavement system for low speed highway. METHODS: Through on-site monitoring, environmental impact assessment of interlocking block pavement such as heat island reduction, traffic safety, noise pollution were evaluated as compared with asphalt pavement. Also the pavement condition and roughness were evaluated according to performance period. RESULTS: Surface temperature of interlocking block pavement was about 7 degree lower than asphalt pavement in midsummer. Compared to asphalt pavement, vehicle speed reduction effect of interlocking block pavement was about 2kph. For low speed driving, the noise pollution was measured at a similar level for both asphalt and interlocking block pavement. After 42month service period, the breakage of block was only 0.24% for the whole surveyed area. IRI of interlock block pavement was estimated within the range of 5~8m/km. CONCLUSIONS : Depending on the performance monitoring results such as heat island reduction, providing traffic safety and keeping a good pavement condition for a long service period, it assures that interlocking block pavement was applicable for low speed road.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this article is to investigate the predicted life of jointed concrete pavement (JCP) with two variables effecting on axle load spectra (ALS). The first variable is different data acquisition methods whether using high-speed weigh-in-motion (HS-WIM) or not and the other one is spectra distribution due to overweight enforcement on main-lane of expressway using HS-WIM. METHODS : Three sets of ALS had been collected i) ALS provided by Korea Pavement Research Program (KPRP), which had been obtained without using HS-WIM ii) ALS collected by HS-WIM before the enforcement at Kimcheon and Seonsan site iii) ALS collected after the enforcement at the same sites. And all ALS had been classified into twelve vehicle classes and four axle types to compare each other. Among the vehicle classes, class 6, 7, 10 and 12 were selected as the major target for comparing each ALS because these were considered as the primary trucks with a high rate of overweight loading. In order to analyze the performance of JCP based on pavement life, fatigue crack and International Roughness Index (IRI) were predicted using road pavement design program developed by KPRP and each ALS with same annual average daily traffic (AADT) was applied to design slab thickness. RESULTS: Comparison ALS of KPRP with those of HS-WIM shows that the ALS of KPRP has a low percentage of heavy spectra such as 6~9 tonnes for single axle, 18~21 tonnes for tandem axle and 27~30 tonnes for tridem axle than other two ALS of HS-WIM in most vehicle classes and axle types. It means that ALS of KPRP was underestimated. And after the enforcement, percentage of heavy spectra close to 10 tonnes per an axle are lowered than before the enforcement by the effect of overweight enforcement because the spectra are related to overweight regulation. Prediction results of pavement life for each ALS present that the ALS of HS-WIM collected before the enforcement makes the pavement life short more than others. On the other hand, the ALS of KPRP causes the longest life under same thickness of slab. Thus, it is possible that actual performance life of JCP under the traffic like ALS of HS-WIM could be short than predicted life if the pavement was designed based on ALS provided by KPRP. CONCLUSIONS : It is necessary to choose more reliable and practical ALS when designing JCP because ALS can be fairly affected by acquisition methods. In addition, it is important to extend performance life of the pavement in service by controlling traffic load such as overweight enforcement.

PURPOSES : Compared to the criteria from advanced countries, Korea has conservative criteria for the buried depth of pipeline (about 30~70cm deeper) causing the waste of cost and time. Therefore, this research investigated the effect of various buried depths of pipeline on pavement performance in order to modify the criteria to be safe but economical. In addition, a recycled aggregate which is effective in economical and environmental aspect was evaluated to be used as a refilling material. METHODS : In this study, total 10 pilot sections which are composed with various combinations of pavement structure, buried depth of pipeline, and refilling material were constructed and the telecom cable was utilized as a buried pipeline. During construction, LFWD (Light Falling Weight Deflectometer) tests were conducted on each layer to measure the structural capacity of underlying layers. After the construction is completed, FWD (Falling Weight Deflectometer) tests and moving load tests were performed on top of the asphalt pavement surface. RESULTS : It was found from the LFWD and FWD test results that as the buried depth decrease, the deflections in subbase and surface layer were increased by 30% and 5~10%, respectively, but the deflection in base layer remained the same. In the moving load test, the longitudinal maximum strain was increased by 30% for 120mm of buried depth case and 5% for 100mm of buried depth case. Regarding the effect of refilling material, it was observed that the deflections in subbase and surface layer were 10% lager in recycled aggregate compared to the sand material. CONCLUSIONS : Based on the testing results, it was found that the change in buried depth and refiliing material would not significantly affect the pavement performance. However, it is noted that the final conclusion should be made based on an intensive structural analysis for the pavement under realistic conditions (i.e., repeated loading and environmental loading) along with the field test results.

PURPOSES: This study is to investigate the mechanical performance of the fiber reinforced lean concrete with respect to different types of fibers. METHODS: Increased vehicle weight and other causes from the exposed conditions have accelerated the deteriorations of road pavement. A new multi-functional composite pavement system is being developed recently in order to extend service life and upgrade the pavement. A variety of tests were conducted before and after hardening of the concrete. RESULTS: From the test results, it was found that the use of different types of fibers did not affect the compressive strength development. This might be due to the inherent property of the lean concrete. When steel fibers were used relatively greater flexural strength and flexural fracture toughness were developed. Also addition of fly ash by replacing a part of Portland cement the fracture toughness was slightly increased. CONCLUSIONS: It has been known that the addition of fibers and use of mineral admixture can be positively considered in the development of multi-functional composite pavement system as its required mechanical performance is obtained.

PURPOSES: The new methodology is proposed for estimation of long-term performance and pavement life based on the national highway database in Daejeon area. Furthermore, this study tried to verify the applicability of performance estimation using NHPCI (National Highway Pavement Condition Index) on tendency of pavement deterioration as time goes by under Korean road environments. METHODS: Reliability theories are applied to estimate the mean life and to determine the appropriate distribution using 3 levels of traffic loads (high, medium, low) based on maintenance and rehabilitation history data for 15 years. RESULTS: As a result, Lognormal distribution is suitable for explanation of pavement lifetime in Daejeon area regardless of traffic loads. In addition, we found that the results of mean life and maintenance timing based on NHPCI for the pavement sections of 3 levels of traffic loads are available. CONCLUSIONS: Based on this study, it was found that mean life of high, medium and low levels of traffic loads are about 8.1 years, 12.2 years and 12.7 years, respectively. Higher level of traffic loads shorten the pavement mean life.

본 연구에서는 도심지 열섬현상을 완화 시킬 수 있는 아크릴 수지와 차열안료를 혼합한 차열성 포장을 개발하였다. 태양 복사열에 의한 포장체의 온도상승을 모사한 실내 시험으로부터 60℃의 포장 온도에서 차열성 포장이 12℃ 이상의 온도 저감 효과를 나타냈다. 이러한 온도 감소 효과는 차열안료의 배합비가 증가함에 따라 증가하였고, 반면에 점도의 증가로 인하여 작업성은 떨어졌다. 이러한 결과로부터 아크릴 수지 대비 차열안료의 최적혼합비율을 15%로 결정하였다. 차열성 포장의 칸타브로 손실률은 일반 배수성 포장의 손실률 1/4 수준으로 골재 비산 저항성이 우수하게 나타났다. 휠트랙킹 시험결과 차열성 포장의 동적안정도가 일반 배수성 포장에 비해 두 배 증가하였다. 차열성 포장재의 높은 부착력으로 인하여 탈리에 의한 손상 가능성은 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 시험 시공 구간에서의 소음도 측정 시험 결과 일반 배수성 포장에 비하여 평균 3.7dB의 소음저감 효과가 있었고, 미끄럼 저항치는 일반 배수성 포장에 비해서 평균 30% 정도 높아 우수한 미끄럼 저항성을 가지는 것으로 판단된다. 투수 시험 결과 차열성 포장의 투수성은 일반 배수성 포장보다 다소 작았으나 국내 배수성 포장 기준을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 도심지 버스전용차로의 교차로 구간 아스팔트 포장을 프리캐스트 패널을 이용하여 강성 포장으로 교체하는 조립식 포장 시공을 수행한 후 이러한 포장의 초기 거동 및 공용성을 분석하기 위해 수행되었다. 조사 항목으로는 차량 진출입 구간에서 아스팔트 포장과 프리캐스트 패널과의 단차, 프리캐스트 패널간의 단차 및 줄눈 간격, 프리캐스트 패널의 침하, 패널 표면의 미끄럼저항 성능등을 선정하였다. 시공 후 일정시간이 지난 후에 다이아몬드 그라인딩 공법을 적용하여 이의 효과도 분석하였다. 추적조사 결과 시간이 경과함에 따라 프리캐스트 패널의 단차, 줄눈 간격, 침하, 미끄럼저항 등은 거의 변화가 없었으며, 이로 인해 프리캐스트 패널이 안정되게 하중을 지지하고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 다이아몬드 그라인딩 공법의 적용은 프리캐스트 패널의 단차 감소를 가져오는 것으로 확인되었다.

본 연구에서는 고로슬래그 미분말 및 플라이애시와 같은 광물질 혼화재를 사용한 친환경 고성능 3성분계 시멘트 콘크리트 교면 포장의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 실험을 하였다. 광물질 혼화재의 혼입률 변화에 따른 3성분계 시멘트 콘크리트의 최적배합을 찾기 위하여 압축강도 및 휨강도 시험을 하였으며 최적배합을 사용하여 내구성 시험인 염소이온 침투저항성, 동결융해, 박리 저항성, 균열 저항성 및 알칼리골재반응 시험으로 친환경 고성능 3성분계 시멘트 콘크리트 교면 표장의 내구성 평가 및 신 구 콘크리트의 부착력을 평가하기 위하여 부착강도 시험을 하였다. 시험결과, 시멘트 70%, 고로슬래그 미분말15% 및 플라이애시 15%의 배합 바인더에서 압축강도 및 휨강도가 우수하게 나타났으며 이를 최적배합으로 도출하였다. 실내 및 시험시공에서 최적 배합을 사용한 실험결과는 염소이온 침투 저항성, 동결융해 저항성, 표면박리 저항성, 알칼리골재 반응 억제 및 내마모성이 우수하게 나타났다. 또한, 특수 제작된 Polymer Cement Mortar(Brooming)를 사용한 신 구 콘크리트의 부착력에서도 우수한 성능을 나타냈다.

국내 고속도로의 60% 이상이 시멘트 콘크리트 포장으로 건설되었으며, 그 중 공용년수가 20년이 넘어선 구간이 절반 이상에 달하고 있다. 노후화된 시멘트 콘크리트 포장의 보수 보강은 국내의 교통여건상 우회도로가 준비되기 어렵기 때문에 조기 교통개방이 요구되며 현재까지는 주로 아스팔트 덧씌우기가 사용되고 있다. 반면에 아스팔트 덧씌우기 포장은 조기 파손으로 인해 많은 유지보수비용이 지출됨과 동시에 도로사용자의 불편을 초래하고 있다. 최근 들어 노후화 된 시멘트 콘크리트 포장의 효율적인 보강공법으로 접착식 콘크리트 덧씌우기 공법에 대해서 적용을 시도하고 있다. 따라서 아스팔트 덧씌우기 포장과 접착식 콘크리트 덧씌우기 포장의 합리적인 선택에 대한 비교 분석을 위해 포장의 연도별 파손상태에 대한 다양한 data가 필요하다. 하지만, 국내에서는 아스팔트 덧씌우기 포장과 접착식 콘크리트 덧씌우기 포장의 공용 중 파손상태에 대한 자료가 체계적으로 구축되어있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 아스팔트 덧씌우기와 접착식 콘크리트 덧씌우기 공법이 적용된 구간의 파손에 대해 충분한 자료를 구축하고 있는 미국의 LTPP Data를 이용하여, 공용성에 대해서 평가하였다. 단, 아스팔트 덧씌우기와 접착식 콘크리트 덧씌우기 공법은 파손형태가 서로 상이함으로써, 상대적인 비교를 위해 각각의 구간에 대해 포장상태지수(PCI, Pavement Condition Index)를 Database화 하였으며, 아스팔트 덧씌우기 구간과 접착식 콘크리트 덧씌우기 구간의 수명에 대해서 비교 분석을 수행하였다.

최근 화석자원의 고갈과 대기오염의 피해를 저감하기 위해 자전거의 이용을 적극적으로 장려하고 있으며 이를 위해 자전거도로 건설이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 현재 사용 중인 자전거도로 포장은 이용 하중에 비해 높은 성능과 시공비용을 지니고 있어 효율적인 건설을 위해 경제적인 도로포장형식이 필요하다. 롤러 전압 콘크리트 포장은 시멘트 경화 반응과 다짐으로 인한 골재 맞물림에 따른 높은 구조적 성능을 확보할 수 있다. 또한 시공이 간단하고 건설비가 적어서 자전거도로에 적용하기 위한 우수한 조건을 갖추고 있다. 그러나 롤러 전압 콘크리트 포장의 불량한 표면 미관과 제설제 피해에 대한 취약성은 자전거도로 건설에서 문제로 작용하고 있다. 따라서 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해 표면 미관의 개선과 환경하중에 대한 피해를 저감 할 수 있을 것으로 예상되는 코팅공법을 이용하였으며 이에 대한 효과를 검증하기 위해 롤러 전압 콘크리트 포장의 코팅에 따른 성능을 검토하였다.
