PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to investigate the tendency of material property estimation under different concrete distress conditions and curling conditions when non-destructive tests such as rebound hammer and surface deflection test are applied to concrete pavement. METHODS : Nondestructive tests using Schmidt hammer and Falling Weight Deflectometer were performed to inspect the expressway concrete pavements constructed more than 20 years ago. Some results were compared with core tested elastic modulus and compressive strength. RESULTS : As a result of the rebound test, the section with Alkali-Silica Reaction(ASR) distress was outside the range of the existing estimation formula, but the control section was found to be within the range of the existing estimation formula. As a result of the physical property estimation through deflection test, the section with ASR distress showed greater fluctuations in the estimated material properties and deflection ratio compared to the control section, showing that the ASR damage seems to affect the slab deflection behavior. CONCLUSIONS : The rebound test may not sufficiently reflect the decline in material properties due to concrete damage. The deflection test can obtain results that reflect the deterioration of material properties, but it was confirmed that significant variability may occur, so it seems to necessary to perform complementary indoor core tests with nondestructive testing(NDT) tests.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this study is to determine the effective maintenance method for a deteriorated jointed plain concrete pavement by evaluating the long-term performance of the repaired concrete overlay sections. METHODS: Long-term performance evaluation was conducted for the test section at the intersection between SeoPa and IlDong in National Road No. 37. Firstly, the distress conditions of the concrete pavement, which was constructed in December 2003, were evaluated by referring to the existing report. Secondly, the results of pretreatment, material properties, and initial performance evaluation were analyzed for the overlay test conducted in 2011. Finally, a field survey was carried out using visual inspection and nondestructive testing with a FWD in August 2018, and long-term performance evaluation was conducted for about seven years after maintenance. RESULTS: Visual inspection of the old concrete pavement showed severe damage such as joint spalling and asphalt patching. The cores taken from the old concrete had indirect tensile strength of 2.6-3.8 MPa. It is difficult to determine the freeze-thaw resistance because the average amount of air was only 1.6-2.2%, and spacing factor values were over 400㎛ regardless of location. During maintenance, overlay and partial depth repair were performed by applying three types of overlay materials which are typical in Korea. On the material side, high compressive strength (over 40 MPa) and chlorine ion penetration resistance (less than 1,000 coulomb) at 56 days were achieved. In August 2018, seven years after maintenance, visual inspection and nondestructive testing using FWD were conducted for long-term performance evaluation. Regardless of the maintenance materials, surface deficiencies such as spalling and map cracking occurred extensively near the joint. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, if the strength and durability index of aged concrete pavement is low, then it was determined that partial depth repair at the joint is not an effective maintenance alternative. In the case of overlay, the durability of the overlay material is considered the most important factor. In the absence of adequate reinforcement at the joint of the distressed concrete pavement, freeze-thaw damage caused by moisture penetration through the joint and failure of the old concrete are repeated, making it difficult to ensure long-term durability.

콘크리트포장에 초기균열을 일으키는 중요한 인자 중 하나는 콘크리트 내부의 초기온도이다. 따라서 콘크리트포장의 초기균열 발생원인을 연구하기 위해서는 초기온도를 계측하여 분석하는 일이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 초기균열이 발생하는 슬래브 장소와 초기균열의 발생시간이 초기온도패턴에 어떤 영향을 받는지를 검증하였고 더불어, 줄눈부에서 발생하는 균열의 발생시점과 시공시간과의 관계도 알아보았다. 본 논문을 위해서 "중부내륙고속도로 여주-충주간 제 1공구 시험도로 건설공사구간 STATION 1+400~1+700" 지점에서 시험시공이 이루어졌으며, 시공 후 72시간 동안 i-Button(온도계측센서)을 이용하여 온도계측을 시행하였으며, 초기균열의 거동은 Demec gauge를 사용하였으며, 초기균열 및 줄눈부 균열은 육안으로 확인하였다. 초기온도패턴과 초기균열의 분석 결과, 콘크리트의 초기온도패턴은 슬래브에 초기균열이 발생하는 위치와 시각에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다 초기균열균열은 온도낙차폭이 가장 큰 슬래브에서 발생하였으며, 그 시각은 슬래브의 온도가 급강하하는 새벽이었다. 또한, 콘크리트 슬래브의 거동이 인근 줄눈부에 발생한 초기균열에 따라 영향을 받으며. 줄눈부에 발생한 균열의 발생시기가 서로 다를 경우에 균열의 거동이 달라질 수 있다는 가능성이 제시되었다. 그 외에도, 오전에 시공한 슬래브에서의 균열 발생률이 오후에 시공한것보다 더 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 균열의 발생 간격이 큰 균열이 그렇지 않은 균열보다 더 큰 균열틈을 보였다.
