본 연구는 한국 기상대 데이터를 활용하여 콘크리트 포장의 깊이별 온도를 예측하는 ANN(Artificial Neural Network) 모델을 개발하는 것을 목표로 한다. 기존의 열평형 방정식 기반 모델은 특정 지역의 기상 데이터를 필요로 하기 때문에 일반적인 적용이 어렵다는 한계를 가지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 ANN을 활용하여 기상대 데이터를 기반으로 범용적 인 온도 예측 모델을 개발하고자 한다. 이를 통해 다양한 지역 및 환경 조건에서도 적용 가능한 모델을 구축하는 것이 목적이다. 본 연구에서는 2017년 1월 1일부터 2018년 12월 31일까지의 1시간 단위 기상 및 온도 데이터를 활용하며, 0.05m, 0.15m, 0.25m, 0.35m, 0.45m 깊이별 온도 데이터를 학습 데이터로 사용한다. 입력 변수로는 기온, 풍속, 강수량, 습도, 일 조량, 일사량, 적설량, 적운량, 지면온도를 포함한다. 이러한 다양한 기상 데이터를 활용하여 신경망 모델을 학습하고, 기 존 방식보다 높은 정확도를 확보하는 것이 연구의 핵심 목표이다. 기존 ANN 구조인 O = WI + B에서 확장된 O = W(I + (WI + B)) + B 형태의 비선형 구조를 적용하여 기존 모델이 가지는 비선형 관계 반영의 한계를 극복하고자 한다. 또한, 선형 다중 은닉층 모델과 비선형 다중 은닉층 모델을 각각 개발하여 성능을 비교하고, 비선형 모델의 필요성과 일반화 능력을 평가할 예정이다. 최종적으로 두 모델의 성능을 평균 제곱 오차 및 평균 절대 오차 등과 같은 평가 지표들을 이용하여 비교 분석하고, 가장 적합한 모델을 도출하고자 한다.

PURPOSES : In this study, a method to use magnesium phosphate ceramic (MPC) concrete for the surface maintenance of airport pavements with jointed concrete is developed. METHODS : To investigate the application of a material incorporated with MPC for the surface maintenance of airport pavements with jointed concrete, structures with various cross-sections and thicknesses were constructed. The cross-section of the structure was modeled for the surface maintenance of four types of pavements and typical pavement construction processes, such as cutting, cleaning, production and casting, finishing, hardening, and joint reinstallation. Subsequently, the hours required for each process was determined. RESULTS : The MPC concrete used for the surface maintenance of airport pavements with jointed concrete demonstrate excellent performance. The MPC concrete indicates a compressive strength exceeding 25 MPa for 2 h, and its hydration heat is 52.9 ℃~61.2 ℃. Meanwhile, the crushing and cleaning performed during the production and casting of the MPC require a significant amount of time. Specifically, for a partial repair process, a total of 6 h is sufficient under traffic control, although this duration is inadequate for a complete repair process. CONCLUSIONS : MPC concrete is advantageous for the surface maintenance of airport pavements with jointed concrete. In fact, MPC concrete can be sufficiently constructed using existing concrete maintenance equipment, and partial repair works spanning a cross-sectional area of 11 m2 can be completed in 1 d. In addition, if the crushing and cleaning are performed separately from production and construction, then repair work using MPC concrete can be performed at a larger scale.

PURPOSES : Almost every design method for airport concrete pavements considers only traffic loading and not environmental loading. This study proposes a mechanistic design method for airport concrete pavements, that considers both environmental and traffic loading simultaneously. METHODS: First, the environmental loading of concrete pavements in Korean airports was quantified. FEAFAA, a finite element analysis program for airport pavements, was used to calculate the maximum tensile stress (MTS) of the slab, caused by both environmental and traffic loadings. The factors that influence the MTS were identified via sensitivity analysis, and an MTS prediction model was developed using the statistical analysis program SPSS. The ratio of MTS to the tensile strength of slab was calculated using the prediction model. The fatigue model under the AC 150/5320-6E and AC 150/5320-6F standards of the FAA was corrected to make it suitable for the predicted stress-strength ratio. RESULTS : The MTS prediction model and corrected fatigue model were used to redesign the slab thickness and joint spacing of airport concrete pavements originally designed using the AC 150/5320-6D standard, which empirically considers traffic loading only. As a result, different slab thicknesses and joint spacings were redesigned with consideration for environmental loading, specifically the weather conditions of airports. . CONCLUSIONS: The slab thickness and joint spacing can be mechanistically designed at the same time, whereas previously, only the slab thickness was designed, and the joint spacing was determined empirically.
