PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the variability of LiDAR performance indicators, such as intensity and Number of Point Cloud(NPC), according to various environmental factors and material characteristics. METHODS : To consider the material characteristics of road safety facilities, various materials (Reference Material(RM), reflective sheet, matte sheet, granite, plastic, and rubber) were used in a darkroom, and the performance indicators of LiDAR were repeatedly measured in terms of changes in the measurement distance, rainfall, and angle of observation. RESULTS : In the case of standard reflective materials, the intensity measurement value decreased as the measurement distance and rainfall increased. The NPC showed a tendency to decrease as the measurement distance increased, regardless of rainfall intensity. For materials with high-intensity values, it was found that rainfall intensity and color had negligible effect on the change in intensity compared with the measurement distance. However, for materials with low-intensity values, it was found that the measurement distance, rainfall intensity, and color all had a significant effect on the change in intensity. CONCLUSIONS : For materials with high-intensity values, it was found that rainfall and color had negligible effect on change in intensity compared with the measurement distance. However, for materials with low-intensity values, the measurement distance, rainfall, and color all had a significant effect on the change in intensity value.

PURPOSES : Experimental findings pertaining to the mechanical properties of calcium aluminate cement (CAC)-based repair mortars incorporated with anhydrite gypsum (AG) are described herein. METHODS : To prepare the mortars, three different levels of AG were adopted and the ratio of water–cementitious materials was fixed at 0.50. For comparison, mortar composed of ordinary Portland cement was prepared. The fluidity, setting time, compressive and bond strengths, absorption and surface electric resistivity of the mortars were measured at predetermined periods. RESULTS : The incorporation of AG increases the fluidity but decreases the setting time of the CAC-based repair material system. However, the AG in the CAC mixes does not effectively enhance the compressive strength of the mortars owing to the decreased formation of CA hydrates, such as CAH10 and C2AH8. Meanwhile, the mortar with 10% AG shows excellence absorption. CONCLUSIONS : The mechanical properties of CAC based-mortars rely significantly on the amount of AG incorporated. However, further studies regarding the microstructure and durability of CAC-AG repair mortars must be conducted to obtain the optimal mixture.

PURPOSES : This study is performed first to define the aging of road facilities and to analyze the effects of environmental factors on the deterioration of median barriers. METHODS : The aging of road facilities is defined using an analytical hierarchy process (AHP). The first stage is associated with the period, facilities, and maintenance, whereas the second stage is associated with the details. The effects of environmental factors on the deterioration are analyzed by measuring the carbonation depth and compression strength. Two regions, i.e., Gangwon and Busan, are compared separately. Top, middle, and bottom samples are analyzed for both regions. RESULTS : Based on the result of the AHP analysis, weights for period (0.220), function (0.410), and maintenance (0.370) are derived. The average carbonation depths are 11.12 and 9.78 mm for Kangwon and Busan, respectively. The estimated values of compressive strength at Gangwon are 19.7 MPa (Wonju), 24.7 MPa (Samcheok A), and 25.9 MPa (Samcheok B), 20.2 MPa (Haeundae), 23.8 MPa (Yeongdo), and 29.5 MPa (Nam). CONCLUSIONS : The aging of road facilities is associated with subpar functionality and durability. Furthermore, the median barriers constructed in the Gangwon region deteriorated more significantly than those in the Busan region owing to environmental factors. In addition, the bottom samples are more affected by aging than the top samples.

PURPOSES : This study attempts to reveal the limitations of the current asset valuation methods for road infrastructure, based on national accounting standards. We proposed novel asset valuation methods, namely; the nearly land price and ratio-based method(NLP&R), and the consumption-based depreciation method(CBD). In addition, we verified the possibility of application through the research on the road network of Daejeon Metropolitan City. METHODS : This study proposes a novel re-evaluation method for road facilities. Regarding land, the authors proposed calculating the asset value, using the arithmetic average of the publicly announced land price of nearby land, located on both sides of the road section. For structures, a consumption-based depreciation(CBD) method that reflects the current condition level of structures was proposed. RESULTS : Owing to the application of the evaluation method for the current guidelines, land value was evaluated at 0.84-8.12 trillion won, pavement value at 8.75 trillion won, tunnel value at 0.26 trillion won, and bridge value at 2.09 trillion won. Owing to the application of the novel evaluation method proposed in this study on road facilities of Daejeon City, land value was estimated at 6.96 trillion won, tunnel value at 0.28 trillion won, and bridge value at 2.40 trillion won. CONCLUSIONS : We discovered that four current evaluation methods for land prices have some limitations that were over-or underestimated. However, in the case of the novel evaluation method proposed in this study, the value of land assets was estimated at 6.96 trillion won, by applying the nearly land price and ratio-based method. The road pavement was evaluated at approximately 8.75 trillion won, by applying the newly calculated re-procurement cost per unit in 2019. Bridges and tunnels using the new evaluation method were evaluated to be higher than the existing evaluation methods, because the current damaged condition of the facilities was reflected in the valuation. It was concluded that the proposed method is more objective and reliable than the current evaluation methods.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of reducing nitrogen oxide concentration in a photocatalyst (titanium dioxide) using statistical methods such as the Anderson-Darling test. METHODS : To compare and analyze the effect of reducing the nitrogen oxide concentrations in titanium dioxide, titanium dioxide was applied to the public road, and data acquisition in terms of nitrogen oxide concentration was conducted from roads with/without applying titanium dioxide (test section and reference section, respectively). Then, the probabilities of occurrence of nitrogen oxide concentrations in the test and reference sections were estimated and compared using the Anderson-Darling test. RESULTS : According to the comparison and analysis of probabilities in the nitrogen oxide concentration of the test and reference sections, the probabilities of nitrogen oxide concentration on December 4th were estimated as ‘High’ (17.5%, 37.9%), ‘Moderate’ (30.5%, 40.8%), and ‘Low’ (52.0%, 21.3%), respectively, and on December 5th, as ‘High’ (20.6%, 39.1%), ‘Moderate’ (26.2%, 33.0%), and ‘Low’ (53.2%, 27.9%), respectively. In addition, the probabilities of nitrogen oxide concentration in the test and reference sections were analyzed on December 6th as ‘High’ (16.5%, 36.8%), ‘Moderate’ (27.9%, 38.5%), and ‘Low’ (55.6%, 24.8%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS : Based on the results of this study, in the test section with application of titanium dioxide, the nitrogen oxide concentration was found to have a low probability, and in the reference section, the nitrogen oxide concentration was found to be higher than that in the test section. Therefore, it can be concluded that titanium dioxide applied to road facilities has a nitrogen oxide reduction effect.

PURPOSES: This study aims to evaluate the resistance to chemical attack of combined organic and inorganic hybrid mortars as the repair materials (i.e., HRM mortar) used for concrete road facilities through a comparison with mortars made from cement repair materials (i.e., IRM mortar). METHODS: Inorganic materials used as a binder and two mineral fillers were adopted to produce HRM mortars. The ratio of the main resin versus the hardener was fixed at 2:1. For comparison, IRM mortars made of cement repair materials were also manufactured. The mortars were exposed to chemical solutions, such as NaCl, MgSO4, Na2SO4, and H2SO4, with the same concentration of 5% after 7 days of curing. The compressive strength, compressive strength loss, mass ratio, and relative bulk density of the mortar samples exposed to the chemical solutions were measured at predetermined periods. In addition, a scanning electron microscope observation was performed to evaluate the microstructures and the products formed by the chemical reaction of the mortar samples. RESULTS : As a result, the resistance to chemical attack of the HRM mortars was found to be much better than that of the IRM mortars, regardless of the types of attacking sources. This finding implies that HRM is a highly promising and versatile material because of its excellent resistance to chemical attack. CONCLUSIONS: The application of the combined organic and inorganic hybrid mortars is a possible option for repair of concrete road facilities exposed to aggressive environments.

For durability assessment, the scaling resistance, freezing & thawing resistance, rapid chloride penetration resistance, and acid attack resistance of those mortars were experimentally monitored. RESULTS: The durability performances of HRM mortars, especially with respect to freezing & thawing, rapid chloride penetration and acid attack, were identified to be much better than those of IRM mortars. This result implies that HRM is a highly promising and versatile material because of its excellent durability. CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that the application of the combined organic and inorganic hybrid mortars is possibly an option for the repair of concrete road facilities exposed to aggressive environments.

METHODS: In order to produce UM mortar, four different levels of inorganic materials were adopted and the ratio of main resin to hardener was fixed at 1:2. For comparison, RM mortar made with cement repair materials was also produced. Fluidity, strength characteristics, length change, and freezing-thawing resistance of the mortars were measured at the predetermined periods. In addition, the microstructures of the mortars was performed on the 28-day mortar samples to examine the properties of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ). RESULTS : It was observed that the mechanical properties, except for compressive strength, and freezing-thawing resistance of UM mortars were much better than those of RM mortar. Furthermore, showing a densified ITZ properties on the UM mortars from the microstructural observation, the usage of UM mortars exhibited a beneficial effect on the enhancement of mortar properties. CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that the application of combined organic and inorganic hybrid mortars is a possible option for the repair of deteriorated concrete road facilities.

Recently, the damage caused by typhoons and strong winds frequently displayed according to world climate change tends to be increasing. In the case of soundproof / windproof wall installed on the road, frequent occurrence does function for damage due to strong wind. As a result, in this study, strong wind fragility evaluation was performed to predict the degree of damage of strong winds of soundproof / windproof walls. We were conducting research focusing on the destruction mode in which the overall destruction of the sound barrier caused by the destruction of the aluminum frame occurs. Three node bending experiments were conducting for grasping the material properties of a soundproof wall aluminum frame that is currently being constructed on a road. Based on the results of this experiment, the resistance performance of the target structure was calculated, the frame breakage was selected as the limit state, and the wind load acting on the simplified soundproof wall model was measured using the Monte Carlo model model technique to measure.From now on, through the additional study, it will be necessary to proceed with a more accurate evaluation of the safety against strong windsof the soundproof wall structure using the vulnerability evaluation execution and the setting of the limit state.This study is expected to be the basic data of the study on prediction technique of wind - induced damage of soundproofing and windshield walls in the future.

바람이 불어오는 과정에서 지형 및 지물을 지나칠 경우 바람은 흐트러진다. 이 흐트러짐에 의해 풍속은 빨라질 수도 있고 느려질 수도 있다. 특히 건축물이 밀집되어 있는 도심지에서는 주로 속도가 느려지는 현상이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 실물축척의 도심지를 재현하여 풍동실험을 통해 도심지에서의 차폐효과에 의한 풍속이 느려지는 현상을 정량적으로 평가하였다. 차폐효과에 큰 영향을 미칠 인자들을 도로폭과 주변건축물들의 평균적인 높이로 선정하였고 각각의 조건에 따른 차폐의 정도를 차폐계수로 정의하여 나타내었다. 연구의 결과로부터 도로방향으로 바람이 불 경우 왕복4차선 이하의 도로변에서의 차폐계수는 0.85 이하로 나타났고, 도로직 각방향으로 바람이 불 경우 왕복6차선 이하의 도로변에서의 차폐계수는 0.9 이하로 나타났다.

과거 짧은 시간 내에 급격한 도로 인프라의 건설로 대다수 포장도로의 노령화 정도가 유사하고, 이에 따라 대규모 도로시설물 유지보수 사업을 위한 물량이 도출될 것으로 예상한다. 이에 대한 서울시의 예산 및 시간 제한문제를 고려할 때, 최적의 포장도로 유지 ․ 보수 전략 수립이 필요하다. 또한, 서울시 도로시 설물 공사는 주로 야간에 시행되며 도로포장면의 강성확보를 위한 타설 후 포장면 온도저하를 위한 충분 한 시간부족으로 조기파손 및 영구변형량 증가의 문제를 야기하고 있어, 도로 재포장 주기의 급격한 감소 의 원인이 되고 있다. 교통량이 많은 주간에 보수공사를 시행할 경우 도로용량을 감소시켜 교통혼잡으로 인한 사회적 비용이 발생될 우려가 있다. 국외에서는 여러 공사시간대의 교통지체, 교통량, 차량통제방안, 공사비용, 운전자지체비용을 고려한 사회적비용을 공사 전에 산출하여 비용이 최소화되는 최적의 공사시간대를 도출하는 것으로 나타났다. 하 지만, 검토한 국외 방법론은 야간공사의 제한된 공사시간으로 인한 짧은 양생 시간을 간과하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 서울시의 교통혼잡 최소화 및 양생시간 확보로 공사의 품질 보장이 반영된 사회적비용을 최소 화 할 수 있는 최적의 공사시간대를 수립하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구에서는 야간공사로 인해 늘어나는 서울시의 재공사비용을 줄이기 위한 방안으로 야간공사의 주 간시간대 확대에 따른 비용편익 비교분석을 시행하였다. 비용편익 비교분석은 야간공사와 주간공사의 비 용분석과 편익분석으로 이루어진다. 본 연구의 비용분석으로 도로공사 자체의 사업비와 함께 야간공사와 주간공사의 지체 비용을 비교분석할 것이다. 또한 편익분석으로 도로포장 갱생시간과 수명간의 관계식을 산출하여 충분한 도로포장체의 갱생시간 확보에 따른 포장체 수명연장으로 발생하는 공사비 절감편익과 사회비용 절감편익을 계산할 것이다. 잦은 재포장에 따른 교통지체에 의한 사회비용 및 사업비 등을 고려할 때, 충분한 포장면의 온도저하시 간확보를 위한 주간시간대로의 도로공사 시간 확대는 결과적으로 6배 이상의 사회비용 절감 및 서울시의 예산절감의 효과를 가능하게 할 것으로 보인다. 도로포장면의 수명을 확보하기 위해 도로포장면 다짐 후 충분한 온도저하시간동안 차량통행을 통제하여도 실제적인 지체에 의한 사회비용은 공사비에 비해 낮은 수준이다.

도로시설물은 건설 시 많은 건설 자재와 건설 장비를 사용함에 따라 시공단계 탄소배출이 높고, 지속적 인 기능 유지를 위한 유지보수 활동에 의한 탄소배출이 동반되기 때문에 도로시설물의 life cycle별 탄소 배출량을 정량적으로 산정하고 관리하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 하지만 도로 life cycle 단계별 탄소배출량 의 정량적 산정은 각 단계마다 탄소배출원에 대한 활동자료의 수집, 배출계수의 선택, 활동자료의 신뢰성 검증 등의 복잡한 일련의 과정으로 인해 탄소배출량을 정량적으로 산정하고 관리 시 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 국토교통부의 시설물별 탄소배출량 산정 가이드라인에 따르면 도로에서의 탄소배출량은 수집된 활 동자료로부터 계산된 탄소배출원의 양과 탄소배출계수의 곱으로 정량적으로 산정할 수 있으며, 이러한 매 커니즘을 할용해 실제로 탄소배출량을 정량적으로 산정하고 관리하기 위한 탄소관리시스템 개발에 대한 연구를 탄소중립형 도로 기술개발 연구단에서 진행중이다. 도로는 계획 및 설계 주체, 시공 주체, 운영주 체가 다르기 때문에 각 주체마다 필요로 하는 탄소배출 결과가 다르며, 활용하고자 하는 용도 역시 다르 기 때문에 탄소관리시스템 개발 시 이를 고려한 탄소배출량 관리시스템 내 컨텐츠를 구성할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 표준화된 탄소배출량 산정 방법을 이용해 도로의 시공, 운영, 유지보수의 life cycle 단계별 탄소배출량을 정량적으로 산정하고, 이를 활용해 새로운 녹색기술(탄소저감기술)을 해당 도 로에 적용 시 탄소저감가능량을 산정할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였다.

PURPOSES: The aim of this paper is developing user-oriented flexible Level Of Service (LOS) system for integrated asset management of various road facilities. It is essential to overcome limitations of general management systems which only focus on a type of assets (e.g. pavement, bridge etc.), and to serve a customizable LOS platform for smooth implementation and future improvement of the LOS considering various managerial environments of road agencies. METHODS: This study suggested a total framework of the LOS system as a process for self-development, operation and improvement of LOS system to conduct the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) in management process. In the process, we adopted user-customizable elements regarding asset definition, service index and evaluation method to match with the managerial environment of road agencies. In addition, we conducted an empirical study on the entire process of the suggested LOS system with a real road agency (Korea Express Highway) to prove applicability of the LOS system. RESULTS: From the empirical study, we confirmed that the suggested LOS system framework were suitable for development of customized LOS system. In addition, evaluation of asset conditions by LOS ratings, and quantification of vision achievement of the Korea Express Highway were successfully made. It would be the first trial in integrated management approach with LOS systems for numerous road facilities. CONCLUSIONS : It was recognized that easy application and sustainable improvement of the LOS was the most critical point in asset management. The suggested LOS system would be a powerful weapon as a managerial tool in preparing tight budget, aging infrastructures, and increased demands for more accountability both in Korea and internationally. Implementation of the LOS system needs to be expanded to the other infrastructure members to serve satisfactory level of service to taxpayers.
