PURPOSES: This study is primarily focused on evaluating the effects of the non-linear stress-strain behavior of RAP concrete on structural response characteristics as is applicable to concrete pavement. METHODS : A 3D FE model was developed by incorporating the actual stress-strain behavior of RAP concrete obtained via flexural strength testing as a material property model to evaluate the effects of the non-linear stress-strain behavior to failure on the maximum stresses in the concrete slab and potential performance prediction results. In addition, a typical linear elastic model was employed to analyze the structural responses for comparison purposes. The analytical results from the FE model incorporating the actual stress-strain behavior of RAP concrete were compared to the corresponding results from the linear elastic FE model. RESULTS : The results indicate that the linear elastic model tends to yield higher predicted maximum stresses in the concrete as compared to those obtained via the actual stress-strain model. Consequently, these higher predicted stresses lead to a difference in potential performance of the concrete pavement containing RAP. CONCLUSIONS : Analysis of the concrete pavement containing RAP demonstrated that an appropriate analytical model using the actual stress-strain characteristics should be employed to calculate the structural responses of RAP concrete pavement instead of simply assuming the concrete to be a linear elastic material.

PURPOSES: The existing method evaluating the existence of the hollows in concrete pavement does not consider the stiffness of pavement. In addition, the method uses unreasonable logic judging the hollow existence by the deflection caused by zero loading. In this study, the deflection of slab corner due to heavy weight deflectometer (HWD) was measured in concrete pavement sections where underground structures are located causing the hollows around them. METHODS: The modulus of subgrade reaction obtained by comparing the actual deflection of slab to the result of finite element analysis was calibrated into the composite modulus of subgrade reaction. The radius of relative stiffness was calculated, and the relationship between the ratio of HWD load to the radius of relative stiffness and the slab deflection was expressed as the curve of secondary degree. RESULTS: The trends of the model coefficients showing width and maximum value of the curve of secondary degree were analyzed by categorizing the pavement sections into three groups : hollows exist, additional investigation is necessary, and hollows do not exist. CONCLUSIONS: The results analyzed by the method developed in this study was compared to the results analyzed by existing method. The model developed in this study will be verified by analyzing the data obtained in other sections with different pavement structure and materials.

매설관은 기존 포장의 제거와 굴착후 다짐 및 재포장에 의해 시공되며 주변지반의 침하와 균열, 재포장부의 침하발생과 평탄성 저하를 초래한다. 본 연구에서는 매설관의 설치와 뒷채움재의 다짐 및 재포장 등 일련의 시공과정에서 간과되고 있는 포장하부구조의 물성치 획득방법으로서 공내재하시험 및 동평판재하시험을 채택하였다. 공내재하시험 비교 결과, 관매설 및 새로운 뒷채움재의 다짐으로 인해 충분한 하부지반 강성이 굴착전에 비하여 획득되지 못함을 확인하였다. 재포장층의 두께는 기존층에 비하여 더 두껍게 설계되어야 함을 의미한다. 동평판시험은 공내재하시험에 비하여 층표면 강성을 파악하기에는 효과적이지만 매설관의 하부구성층 또는 뒷채움재 등의 전체 강성 또는 다짐도를 정확히 파악할 수 없음을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 보수성 그라우팅제를 사용하여 제조된 반강성포장의 성능과 보수성에 대한 평가를 실시한 결과이다. 실내 성능 시험 평가에는 2종류의 그라우팅제를 사용하였다. 시험 방법으로는 P로트 흐름치를 변화시키면서 압축강도(3시간 및 7일)와 휨 강도(7일)의 변화를 관찰하였다. 관찰결과 P로트 흐름치의 변화는 강도의 변화에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았으나 다소 영향이 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 그라우팅제의 종류에 따라서는 강도의 변화가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 반강성포장체에 대한 성능 시험은 모체 아스팔트포장의 공극률은 변화시키면서 실시하였다. 시험결과 아스팔트포장의 공극이 클수록 반강성포장체의 휨 강도가 크게 나타나서 휨 강도는 공극의 크기와 관련이 있는 것으로 발견되었다. 보수 성능 시험은 현장에 시공된 일반 아스팔트, 살수된 반강성포장 및 살수하지 않은 반강성포장을 비교하여 시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과 살수된 반강성포장은 일반 아스팔트포장의 최고 온도와 약 11℃, 살수하지 않은 반강성포장과는 4℃의 차이가 발생하여 반강성포장의 보수성으로 인한 포장체의 온도 상승 억제 효과를 확인할 수 있었다.

Phase change material (PCM) has been developed and applied in various fields as construction material. If the application of PCM as the semi-rigid pavement cement grout becomes available, it would be possible to control the occurrence of a micro crack due to the generation of hydration heat in the ultra rapid harding cement, and if the occurrence of a micro crack is reduced, it would be possible to improve the cohesion performance between asphalt matrix and grout as well as to compact the matrix of the pavement material, improving the durability. Therefore, the applicability review of PCM for the purpose of improving the semi-rigid pavement materials through the shrink reduction of ultra rapid harding cement used as the semi-rigid pavement cement grout was carried out in this study.

A study to apply phase change material(PCM) to rapid hardening cement paste forming semi-rigid pavement was carried out. The characteristics fresh and hardened paste were evaluated through the experiment for a total of 6 mixtures according to the cement type and the substitution of phase change material for acrylate. The fluidity by substituting phase change material for acrylate satisfied the target flow time of 10 to 13 seconds. In case of setting time, it was possible to secure the performance of rapid hardening cement by substituting phase change material, and if the substitution ratio over 60%, the initial set occurred 1 to 2 minutes faster than other mixtures. In case of compressive strength and bond strength, it showed similar strength characteristics with the plain mixture, and it satisfied both the target compressive and bonding strength of 36MPa and 2MPa. The mixture substituting phase change material showed higher resistance to chloride ion penetration than the mixture only using acrylate and the OPC level was insufficient. From the results of physical and mechanical performances of semi-rigid pavement cement paste, the phase change material substitution rate of 20% was effective in the range of this study.
