PURPOSES : Given that large-scale repair works of expressway bridge pavements have high maintenance cost and long traffic blocking time, the thin overlay method that maintains the existing pavement is attracting attention. In this study, because the bridge thin overlay has not been introduced in Korea yet, the basic physical properties of the epoxy thin overlay, which is mainly used for the bridge thin overlay, were investigated, and the skid resistance and bond performance were analyzed. METHODS : Basic physical property tests were performed on each of the epoxy binders, aggregates, and mixtures used in epoxy thin overlay. They were also compared and reviewed against foreign standards. The epoxy binders were tested for viscosity, gel time, and thermal compatibility. The aggregates were tested in terms of water absorption, specific gravity, and gradation. The compressive and flexural strengths of the mixtures were investigated. The epoxy thin overlay has the possibility of detachment of aggregates, so the skid resistance was tested according to the paving phase. In addition, to investigate the bond performance, which is the most important performance of the epoxy thin overlay, the bond strength test was performed by varying the moisture condition and treatment condition of the existing layer surface. RESULTS : The basic physical properties of the materials used in the epoxy thin overlays satisfied foreign standards except for the gradation of aggregates. The skid resistance did not satisfy the standard when the epoxy was exposed, whereas the skid resistance did satisfy the standard when the aggregates were exposed, even after the abrasion test. The bond strength of the epoxy thin overlay satisfied the standard in all cases. The bond strength was the highest when the relative humidity of the existing layer surface was 60%. CONCLUSIONS : The materials of epoxy thin overlay that could be obtained in Korea satisfied the basic physical property standards except for aggregate gradation. Given that the aggregate gradation could be adjusted, it can be concluded that the epoxy thin overlay could be introduced in Korea. In addition, it was confirmed that the skid resistance and bond strength of the epoxy thin overlay were high enough to be used in general road conditions. It was determined that the existing layer surface should maintain an optimal relative humidity of approximately 60% because the moisture condition affects the bond strength.

신 구 콘크리트의 부착강도 시험시 두 재료의 계면에서 파괴가 유도되어 순수한 부착강도를 측정할 수 있도록 계면에 원형의 비부착면을 삽입하여 직접인발시험에 의해 부착강도를 측정하는 실험방법을 제시하였다. 먼저, 새로 제안한 실험방법에 의해 계면에서 응력이 집중되는 정도를 파악하기 위해 유한요소해석을 수행하여 두 재료의 탄성계수비 및 비부착면의 면적 (균열률)에 따른 계면에서의 파괴에너지를 산정하였으며, 부재의 크기 및 하중에 대한 보정을 감안하여 무차원함수로 환산하였다. 그리고 본 연구에서 제시된 부착강도 시험방법의 신뢰성을 입증하기 위해, 3가지 크기의 원형 비부착면(균열률 0.2, 0.4. 0.6)이 삽입된 신 구 콘크리트 복합시편(유황 폴리머 콘크리트+보통 콘크리트)을 사용하여 부착강도를 측정하였고 앞서 전개된 무차원함수로부터 계면 파괴에너지를 역산하였다. 시험결과, 모든 시편이 계면에서 파괴가 유도되었다. 또한 실험 데이터 및 해석결과를 분석하여 균열률이 0.4~0.6인 경우에 부착강도의 오차가 가장 적게 발생될 수 있음을 파악하였다.
