PURPOSES : This study proposes a framework for promoting future expressway remodeling projects by reviewing similar overseas cases and comparing them with current Korean expressway remodeling projects. METHODS : Based on a literature review, this study examines the major issues in expressway remodeling projects and proposes the development of a framework for establishing and promoting such projects. This framework provides detailed guidance by categorizing the project into legal system adjustments, traffic management plans, and social consensus. RESULTS : The diagnosis of issues in domestic expressway remodeling projects revealed significant problems in conceptual aspects, criteria for project evaluation, formulation of traffic diversion strategies, and deficiencies in related legal frameworks. To address these issues, a framework for advancing future remodeling projects was established based on the results of overseas case studies. CONCLUSIONS : As roads deteriorate, the demand for remodeling projects to restore them increases. However, the current implementation of remodeling projects lacks systematic procedures. This study serves as foundational research for establishing an environment conducive to the smooth progress of such projects. By initiating subsequent research, conditions for the smooth progress of remodeling projects are expected to be established.

Asphalt concrete(Ascon) is used to repair potholes and cracks. Special truck-mounted cargo boxes transport 200℃ asphalt concrete to repair potholes and cracks. However, long working and transportation hours to repair wide roads decrease the temperature of the asphalt concrete inside the cargo boxes. If the asphalt concrete temperature drops below 170℃, the adhesion with roads that need repair decreases. Therefore, the temperature of the asphalt concrete needs to be maintained for a long time. Conventional asphalt concrete cargo boxes are mostly burner-type models using hot air to prevent the temperature of the asphalt concrete from dropping. However, there are significant temperature differences between the asphalt concrete near and far away from the hot air, so the temperature decreases over time and leads to the disposal of large amounts of asphalt concrete. This causes waste of resources and environmental pollution. Therefore, this study proposed a heat dissipation cut-off type cargo box model to solve this problem and demonstrated its performance over conventional burner-type models through tests and analysis.

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 comparison, IRM mortars made with cement repair materials were also manufactured. Compressive, flexural, and bonding strengths were measured at predetermined periods. 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.

도로 포장 및 교면 포장의 노후화로 인해 이에 대한 보수는 지속적으로 이루어지고 있고 매년 증가하고 있다. 도로 및 교량의 유지보수는 교통량이 많은 낮 시간보다는 교통량이 상대적으로 적은 야간에 주로 수행되고, 교통량이 다시 많아지는 시간 이전에 신속히 마무리하고 교통개방을 해야 하기 때문에 노무자 의 인력관리 및 안전관리를 체계적으로 수행하기가 쉽지 않다. 본 연구는 주로 야간에 주어진 시간 내에 신속히 작업을 수행해야하는 유지보수공정에 대하여 노무자 의 업무 및 안전을 체계적으로 관리하기 위해 실시간 위치정보 시스템을 구축하고, 현장에 시범 적용하여 그 가능성을 살펴보았다. 유지보수 현장에 총 8개의 고정식 노드를 설치하고 작업자의 안전모에 이동식 노드를 설치하여 현장에서 노무자의 작업 패턴을 충분히 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 시스템 상에서 현장을 1m 격자로 구분하고 위험지역을 시스템 상에서 부여하여 노무자가 위험지역을 진입할 경우 이를 실시간 으로 확인하고 위험여부를 통보 가능함을 확인하였다.

도심지의 도로포장은 버스 등 중차량 교통하중과 포장 유지보수 시기가 지나 급속히 진행 되고 있는 포 장표면의 노후화뿐만 아니라 도로하부 시설물 보수를 위한 잦은 굴착복구가 진행되고 있다. 이로 인해 포 장체의 구조적 지지력이 감소하여 전형적인 도심지형 도로파손인 포트홀, 균열, 침하 및 소성변형이 급증 하고 있다. 또한 빈번히 발생하는 도심지의 도로파손 유지보수로 적지 않은 예산이 소요되고 있기 때문에 효율적인 유지보수를 통한 공용성 확보가 절실히 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 도로포장의 표면상태와 포장층의 구조적 지지력과의 연관성을 파악하여 효과적인 유지보수 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 우선 도로포 장 하부상태와 표면상태 분석결과를 도심지 도로파손 원인 분석 및 대응방안 수립 근거자료로 활용하기 위 해서 서울시의 23개 장기공용성구간(Long Term Performance Pavement)중 공용기간이 5년 경과된 구간 을 선정하였다. 선정된 대상구간의 포장 표면상태 조사(Visual Inspection) 결과인 Rutting, Crack, IRI 및 그에 기반한 SPI지수와 FWD시험으로 부터 산출된 잔존수명과의 비교 분석을 수행하였다. 특히, 표면 조사와 동일구간에 현장코어를 통해 얻어진 아스팔트층 두께와 30cm로 가정한 보조기층 두께 및 대표온 도 20℃를 이용, 역산프로그램을 사용하여 포장층의 탄성계수와 잔손수명을 추정하였다. 대상 구간의 잔 존수명과 도로포장 표면상태와의 관계를 도출하기 위해 지지력 기반 우선순위와 표면상태 기반 우선순위 를 비교하였다. 그 결과 표면상태와 지지력의 상관관계는 다음 그림1에 나타난 바와 같이 Rutting, Crack 에 대한 R-square 값이 0.65이상으로 상관성이 비교적 높은 수준이며 IRI(종단평탄성)는 상관성이 가장 낮았다. 이는 포장층이 지지력이 도로 노면의 평탄성에 미치는 영향이 상대적으로 적기 때문이며, 따라서 Rutting, Crack, IRI의 지수가 모두 포함된 SPI는 상대적으로 낮게 나타난 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 포장 표면상태를 나타낸 지수만을 고려하여 유지보수를 시행할 경우 포장층의 지지력이 충분하지 못한 경우에는 예상보다 빠른 시기에 혹은 동일 시기라도 심각한 상태의 포장손상이 나타날 가능성이 높다. Rutting과 Crack에 대한 지지력의 상관도를 볼 때 이미 진행된 도로파손의 유지보수시 표면상태 뿐만 아니 라 포장층 자체의 지지력을 함께 고려하여 유지보수를 시행하여야 향상된 공용성을 기대할 수 있다.

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 : The objective of this study is to evaluate the curing and adhesive behavior of asphalt emulsions including polymer-modified emulsions for chip seals and fog seals. METHODS : For the laboratory testing, the evaporation test, the bitumen bond strength (BBS) test, and the Vialit test are used. Also, the rolling ball test and the damping test are employed to evaluate the curing properties of the fog seal emulsions. In order to conduct all the tests in controled condition, all test procedures are performed in the environmental chamber. The CRS-2L and the SBS CRS-2P emulsions are used as a polymer-modified emulsion, and then unmodified emulsion, the CRS-2, is compared for the evaluation of chip seal performance. For the fog seal performance evaluation, two types of polymer-modified emulsions (FPME-1 and FPME-2) and one of unmodified emulsion, the CSS-1H, are employed. All the tests are performed at different curing times and temperatures. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS : Overall, PMEs show better curing and adhesive behavior than non-PMEs regardless of treatments types. Especially, the curing and adhesive behavior of PMEs is much better than non-PMEs before 120 minutes of curing time. Since all the test results indicate that after 120 minutes of curing time the curing adhesive behavior of emulsions, the early curing time, i.e., 120 minutes, plays an important role in the performance of chip seals and fog seals.

PURPOSES: This study focuses on conducting pavement rehabilitation for more deteriorated roads given a limited government budget. METHODS: Therefore, we apply a optimization programming model of the permutation algorithm used for rehabilitating more deteriorated pavement areas, which is subjected to the limited budget. RESULTS: The permutation algorithm was evaluated in terms of determining the maximized rehabilitation of deteriorated pavement areas, using the newly developed performance models such as fatigue cracking, rutting, international roughness index(IRI) through the surveying data from 2006 to 2012. When compared with a traditional model of the so-called worst-first sequence(WFS) method, the permutation algorithm worked better than the WFS method, resulting in covering more deteriorated pavement areas given the limited government budget. CONCLUSIONS : Through a case study, it could be concluded that the permutation algorithm provides more reliable results in terms of rehabilitating more deteriorated pavement areas given the limited budget.
