This study quantitatively assess the risk of ice-related accidents on road facilities such as bridges and tunnels, and examines the influence of road facility characteristics on ice-related accidents. Ice-related accident data from expressways and national highways in South Korea were collected over a 10-year period (2013–2022). Geographic information systems (GIS) and node-link systems were employed to classify accidents based on road facility types. The number of ice-related accidents per unit length and per individual segment was examined according to the road classification. Furthermore, the fatality rate and fatality-weighted indicator (FWI) were calculated to evaluate the severity of icerelated accidents.The number of ice-related accidents per unit length of road facilities is higher on national highways than on expressways. For both expressways and national highways, the incidence rate of ice-related accidents on bridges was higher than those on ordinary sections and tunnels. A greater number of ice-related accidents occurred on long-span bridges and tunnels for both road classifications. The fatality rate of ice-related accidents on expressways was approximately 1.5 times higher than that on national highways. The fatality rate of ice-related accidents occurring on road facilities within expressways was approximately three times higher than the overall fatality rate of ice-related accidents on expressways. On national highways, the fatality rate of ice-related accidents on bridges was higher than the overall fatality rate of ice-related accidents, whereas the fatality rate of ice-related accidents in tunnels was lower than that on national highways. The FWI of ice-related accidents on bridges and tunnels was more than twice that on ordinary sections on both expressways and national highways. Among expressway facilities, tunnels exhibited the highest FWI, whereas on national highways, the FWI values for bridges and tunnels were similar. The findings of this study suggest that the influence of road facilities on ice-related accidents should be considered in winter road maintenance strategies. This could contribute to reducing not only the frequency of ice-related accidents, but also the number of fatalities and injuries resulting from such incidents.

국내에서 겨울철 발생하는 결빙사고는 전체적인 교통사고 대비 치사율이 1.7배 높은 것으로 나타났다. 주행속도가 높은 고속국도의 경우 결빙사고 치사율은 18.7로, 결빙 외 고속국도 교통사고 치사율인 4.2와 비교하여 약 4.5배 높았다(KoROAD, 2024). 특히 교량과 터널과 같은 도로시설물은 구조적 특성과 환경적 요인으로 인해 결빙 형성에 매우 취약하다. 교량은 지면으로부터의 열전달이 차단되 기 때문에 겨울철 노면온도가 낮아 결빙이 형성될 가능성이 높으며, 터널은 겨울철 낮은 온도와 터널 입출구부의 응달지역 형성 및 터널 내부와 외부 공기로 인한 급격한 온도변화로 인해 결빙이 발생할 가능성이 높다. 또한, 도로시설물은 교통사고 발생 시 치사율이 높게 나타나는 경향이 있다. 실제로 교량과 터널에서 발생한 교통사고의 치사율은 전체 1.94, 터널 5.05, 교량 4.10으로 도로시설물에서 발생한 교통사고의 치사율이 높았다(KoROAD and ACCRC, 2017). 따라서 도로시설물에서 발생하는 결빙사고는 쉽게 결빙이 형성되 는 환경조건과 사고 발생 시 치사율이 높은 특성으로 인해 일반 도로보다 높은 위험성을 내포하고 있다. 그러나 현재로써 도로시설물 에서 발생하는 결빙사고의 원인과 위험성을 중점적으로 분석한 연구는 그 수가 부족하며, 기존 연구들은 결빙 구간의 기후적 특성이 나 개별 결빙사고 사례 분석에 국한되어 있어 도로시설물은 결빙사고 분석 시 여러 가지 환경요인 중 하나로서만 고려되고 있는 실정 이다. 본 연구에서는 도로시설물에서의 결빙사고 위험도를 평가하는 방법을 제시하고, 이를 Min-Max(최소-최대) 정규화 과정을 통해 구체 화함으로써 보다 체계적인 분석이 가능하도록 한다. 이를 통해 도로시설물의 겨울철 운영에 있어 효과적인 결빙사고 방지 대책을 수 립하는 데 기여하고자 한다.

Experimental findings pertaining to the frost resistance of calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) and amorphous calcium aluminate (ACA) cement-based repair mortars incorporated with anhydrite gypsum are described herein. To prepare the mortars, CSA and/or ACA cements were used as binders, and the water–binder ratio was fixed at 0.57. The compressive and bond strengths, chloride-ion penetration resistance, and scaling resistance of the mortars were measured. Based on the ASTM C666 method, the resistance to both frost action and multi-deterioration of chloride and frost attacks on the mortars were experimentally examined. Calcium aluminate-based binders effectively enhanced the compressive and bond strengths of the mortars owing to the formation of C2AH8 and Ye’elimite hydrates. Furthermore, replacing 25% ACA with OPC yielded excellent resistance to both frost attack and multi-deterioration of chloride and frost attacks. Replacing ACA at an appropriate level as a binder effectively improves the durability of concrete road facilities in winter.

2020년 국토교통부에서는 ‘결빙 취약구간 평가 세부 배점표’에 의하면, 전국의 고속국도 및 일반국도를 대상으로 결빙 취약 구간 464 개소를 선정하여 관리중에 있다. 그러나 감사원은 2020년 진행한 주요 사회기반시설(도로ㆍ고속철도) 안전관리실태 감사에서 결빙 취 약 구간 선정 시 터널 입출구부 등 결빙위험이 큰 구간이 도로포장 홈파기 대상구간에서 누락된 점을 지적하였다. 이러한 근거로 결 빙에 취약한 터널 입ㆍ출구에서 결빙사고가 우려되는 등 ‘겨울철 도로교통 안전 강화대책’의 실효성이 저하될 가능성이 제시되었다. 또한 본 연구에서 자체적으로 검토한 결과, 4개 특성 12개 항목으로 구성된 ‘결빙 취약구간 평가 세부 배점표’의 도로시설 항목에서 터널, 교량 등 도로시설물의 배점 부여 기준을 확인하기 어려웠으며, 각 도로시설에 대한 정의가 모호하여 평가표의 현장 적용성이 제 한되거나 신뢰도 검증이 부족한 점을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 국토교통부에서 제공하는 노드(Node) 및 링크(Link) 기반의 국내 도로망 GIS(Geographic Information System)데이터 에 결빙사고 데이터의 위치정보를 결합하여 고속국도 및 일반국도의 터널 및 교량 등을 포함하는 도로시설물 및 그 주변에서 발생한 결빙사고 이력을 자료화하였다. 최종적으로 도로시설물별 결빙사고 발생 비율 및 사고 심각도(사망자, 부상자 수)에 대한 분석을 통해 도로시설물의 결빙사고 상관 정도와 영향 범위를 파악하였다.

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.

도로 교량 시설물은 그동안 인적, 물적 자원의 이동을 원활하게 하여 지역 균형 발전을 도모할 뿐만 아니라, 생산성 증대에 기여함으로써 국가 발전의 토대가 되어왔다. 최근 시간이 지남에 따라, 사회기반 시설물의 노후화가 진행되고 있으며, 지속적 유지·관리를 통해 사회적 자산인 시설물 유지에 대한 필요성이 더욱 증대되었다. 도로교량 시설물의 점검 및 평가체계는 시설물의 현재의 상태를 정확히 진단하고, 시설물을 이용에 있어서 필요한 성능들의 만족 여부를 면밀히 평가할 수 있도록 해야한다. 이로써, 교통 인프라 시설을 유지관리하는데 필요한 합리적인 의사결정이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 중소 도로 교량의 성능평가 도입을 위한 기초 연구를 위하여, 국내외 도로 교량 시설물의 점검 및 평가체계 비 교·분석 연구를 수행하였다. 기존 국내 도로 교량 시설물의 정기점검 및 정밀안전진단에서의 점검 항목 및 평가방식, 국내 제1 종 및 제2종 시설물 종합성능평가에서의 평가항목 및 체계 분석과, 제3종 시설물 안전등급 평가 매뉴얼의 평가항목 및 체계에 대한 대응 분석을 수행하였다. 또한, 국외 교량 점검 및 평가 매뉴얼을 분석을 통해, 국내 도로 교량 시설물의 점검 및 평가체 계와의 비교·분석 검토 연구를 수행하였다.

PURPOSES: The objective of this study is to evaluate the durable performance of combined organic and inorganic hybrid mortar as repair material (HRM mortar) for concrete road facilities via comparison with that of cement repair materials (IRM mortar). METHODS : To produce HRM mortars, inorganic materials as binder and 2 mineral fillers were adopted. The ratio of main resin versus hardener was fixed at 1:2.

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.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of combined organic and inorganic hybrid mortar used as repair materials (UM mortar) for concrete road facilities by comparison with cement repair materials (RM mortar). 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.
