도로 관리는 교통 시스템과 국가 경제에 중대한 영향을 미치며, 이에 따라 도로 유지관리는 시민들의 삶의 질을 향상시 키는 데 중요한 역할을 한다. 따라서 체계적인 유지관리는 도로 안전성과 경제적 효율성을 높이는 데 필수적이다. 기존 의 도로 관리 방식은 대부분 반응적이며, 종이 문서를 기반으로 이루어져 정보 손실, 데이터 손상, 검색의 어려움 등의 여러 제한점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 3D 모델과 관련 데이터를 일대일 매핑하여 자 동으로 입력할 수 있도록 하는 BIM (Building Information Model)을 활용한 접근 방식을 제안한다. 본 연구는 주로 BIM 생성을 위해 널리 사용되는 Autodesk Revit을 활용하여 3D 도로 모델을 생성하고, 도로의 손상 정보 (길이, 폭, 보수 면 적, 보수 부피, 유지보수 이력 등)를 통합 관리하는 방법을 연구한다. 하지만 Revit은 디지털 정보를 3D 모델에 자동으로 가져오는 기능이 없기 때문에, Visual Programming 도구를 이용하여 유지관리 기록 정보를 BIM으로 자동 입력하는 방 법을 개발하였다. 이를 통해, 사용자가 특정 도로 손상 모델을 선택하면 해당 손상의 통합 이력을 표시할 수 있는 새로 운 통합 이력 관리 시스템을 구축하였다. 이러한 접근 방식은 종이 문서 기반의 기록 방식에서 발생하는 데이터 손상, 기록량 증가, 특정 데이터 검색의 어려움 등의 문제를 해결할 수 있으며, 신속하고 정확한 의사 결정을 지원한다. 본 연 구는 BIM을 활용한 도로의 통합 이력 관리 시스템 구축을 통해 새로운 방향성을 제시한다.
국제사회는 1992년 유엔기후변화협약(UNFCCC), 1997년 교토의정서, 2015년 파리협정, 2018년 IPCC ‘1.5℃ 특별보고서’ 채택을 통하여 온실가스 감축 목표를 세워 기후 문제에 대응하고자 하였다. 이러한 흐름에 대한민국은 2020년 ‘2050 탄 소중립 선언 및 비전을 선포하였고, 2021년 탄소중립기본법을 제정하였다. 이중 도로 건설도 환경영향평가의 대상으로 설정하여 인프라 시설물의 탄소중립에 노력을 기울이고 있다. 하지만 2011년 국토교통부의 ‘시설물별 탄소배출량 산정 가이드라인’ 외 구체적인 생애주기 분석 방법이 부재한 상황이며 기수행된 연구에서는 전과정이 아닌 특정 수명주기에 집중하였던 단점이 존재하였다. 특히 수명주기 중 사용단계는 시설물 이용, 유지관리, 에너지 및 용수 사용 등의 내용을 포함하며 2023년 세계 경제 포럼은 사용단계의 탄소배출량이 평균적으로 전체 탄소배출량의 70%를 차지한다고 발표하였 기 때문에 사용단계의 탄소배출량을 산정하는 것은 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국제 표준 ISO 21930:2017의 전과정 평가 LCA(Life Cycle Assessment) 방법과 국토교통부의 ‘시설물별 탄소배출량 산정 가이드라인’을 따라 국내 탄소배출 계수를 기반으로 도로건설 전과정의 생애주기 구분을 하였고, 탄소배출량을 산정하였다. 이를 통해 국내 환경영향평가 방법의 보완에 기여하고자 한다.
국내 태양광 산업은 2000년대 초 크게 성장하였으나 태양광 패널의 수명이 도래함에 따라 폐패널 발생량이 급격히 증 가할 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 태양광 패널의 주요 구성요소인 강화유리는 상용화된 재활용 기술이 부족하여 대부분 파 쇄 후 매립되고 있는 실정이다. 향후 대량 발생하게 될 폐패널의 재활용 기술 개발 필요성이 대두됨에 따라 태양광 폐패 널의 강화유리를 아스팔트 콘크리트 재료로서 재활용할 수 있는 기술을 개발하고자 하였다. 따라서 폐패널 유리 골재를 제조 및 이를 적용한 아스팔트 혼합물의 배합설계를 수행하였으며 일반 아스팔트 혼합물과 폐패널 유리 골재 아스팔트 혼합물의 성능평가 및 경제성을 비교·분석하였다. 그 결과 폐패널 유리 아스팔트 혼합물이 저온균열 저항성을 제외한 모 든 성능 시험에서 우수한 성과를 보였으며, 경제성 또한 일반 아스팔트 혼합물과 비교 시 뛰어난 것으로 나타났다.
This study evaluates adhesion strength under various conditions to ensure adhesion performance during asphalt-pavement maintenance. The adhesion performance of a tack coat varies under various conditions. Therefore, to evaluate its curing behavior, several tests, i.e., evaporation residue rate, tracking, tack-lifter, and shear bond strength tests, were conducted based on the type, amount, and curing time of the tack coat.The result of the evaporation residue rate test shows that, except for the SSC tack coat, RSC-4 and modified tack coats require similar curing times, even though the modified tack coats have a lower moisture content. Additionally, based on the evaporation residue rate, the tracking and track-lifter test results show that approximately 75% curing is required to prevent the loss of the tack coat during asphaltpavement maintenance. After maintenance work is completed, the shear bond strength was measured to evaluate the curing properties of the tack coat. The results show that the amount applied, curing degree, and shear bond strength are proportional, whereas the modified tack coat indicate a significant difference in the strength increase rate depending on the curing degree. Additionally, when dust is attached to the surface of the tack coat, the difference in strength exceeds 20%, depending on the attachment ratio.To achieve the best adhesion performance by the tack coat during maintenance work, the loss of the tack coat should be prevented by implementing the exact curing time determined experimentally, regardless of whether the tack coat is modified, and the surface where the tack coat is applied should be cleaned before application.
This paper presents a finite-difference method (FDM)-based heat-transfer model for predicting black-ice formation on asphalt pavements and establishes decision criteria using only meteorological data. Black ice is a major cause of winter road accidents and forms under specific surface temperature and moisture conditions; however, its accurate prediction remains challenging owing to dynamic environmental interactions. The FDM incorporates thermodynamic properties, initial pavement-temperature profiles, and surface heat-transfer mechanisms, i.e., radiation, convection, and conduction. Sensitivity analysis shows the necessity of a 28-d stabilization period for reliable winter predictions. Black-ice prediction logic evaluates the surface conditions, relative humidity, wind speed, and latent-heat accumulation to assess phase changes. Field data from Nonsancheon Bridge were used for validation, where a maximum prediction accuracy of 64% is indicated in specific cases despite the overestimation of surface temperatures compared with sensor measurements. These findings highlight the challenges posed by wet surface conditions and prolonged latent-heat retention, which extend the predicted freezing duration. This study provides a theoretically grounded methodology for predicting black ice on various road structures without necessitating additional measurements. Future studies shall focus on enhancing the model by integrating vehicle-induced heat effects, solar radiation, and improved weather-prediction data while comparing the FDM with machine-learning approaches for performance optimization. The results of this study offer a foundation for developing efficient road-safety measures during winter.
This study aimed to develop a pavement management system suitable for the climate and traffic characteristics of Gangwon Province. This research focused on analyzing the asphalt pavement performance characteristics of national highways in Gangwon Province by region and developing prediction models for the current pavement performance and annual changes in performance. Quantitative indicators were collected to evaluate the condition of national highway pavements in Gangwon Province, including factors affecting road performance, such as weather data and traffic volume. The Gangwon region was then classified according to its topography, climate, weather, traffic volume, and pavement performance. Prediction models for the current pavement performance and annual changes in performance were developed for national highways. This study also compared the predicted values for the Gangwon region using a nationwide pavement performance-prediction model from other studies with the predicted values from the developed annual changes in the performance prediction model. This study established a foundation for implementing a pavement management system tailored to the unique climate and traffic characteristics of Gangwon Province. By developing region-specific performance prediction models, this study provided valuable insights into more effective and efficient pavement maintenance strategies in Gangwon Province.
The purpose of this study was to optimize the design of asphalt concrete pavements for Jeju Island by considering the regional characteristics of the island. This study employed an MEPDG program to determine the allowable traffic loads for class 4 vehicles by considering the axle loads, climate, and material properties. Samples of basalt asphalt concrete from Jeju were used to measure the dynamic modulus for material property estimation. The climate input was based on 30-year climate data from Jeju. The thicknesses and moduli of the subgrade, subbase, and asphalt layers were incorporated into the design. The regression-analysis program SPSS was used to develop a regression equation for the overlay design, factoring in the modulus and thickness ratios between the existing and overlay asphalt layers. A pavement-thickness design formula tailored to Jeju's characteristics was derived. An equivalent single-axle load factor (ESALF) formula was developed to facilitate traffic-load estimation for different roads, enabling the easy incorporation of varying traffic volumes into the design. The ESALF formula demonstrated a high correlation with the pavement thickness, subgrade conditions, and axle loads, whereas the pavementthickness design formula exhibited strong correlations with the pavement thickness, subgrade state, thickness ratios, and modulus ratios. The use of basalt aggregates in asphalt concrete pavements provides an economically viable and technically sound solution for Jeju. The proposed design methodology not only reduces costs but also enhances pavement performance and road safety. The developed formulas offer flexibility in adjusting designs based on specific traffic conditions, providing optimal pavement solutions for different road categories.
This study aimed to evaluate the performance criteria of low-noise asphalt pavements under laboratory conditions. Laboratory tests were performed on eight porous and three non-porous asphalt mixtures. Draindown, Cantabro, tensile strength ratio (TSR), and dynamic stability tests were conducted to evaluate durability. The functionality was assessed using sound-absorption and indoorpermeability- coefficient tests. The laboratory results showed that all mixtures satisfied the quality standards for the draindown and TSR tests. In the dynamic stability test, all the mixtures demonstrated adequate rutting resistance. For porous mixtures, the Cantabro test results indicated sufficient shatter resistance and the indoor-permeability-coefficient test confirmed proper drainage performance. All mixtures exhibited satisfactory sound absorption, with the porous mixtures exhibiting slightly better sound absorption than the non-porous mixtures. Both porous and non-porous mixtures are durable and functional and are used in Korea. Future field tests are required to evaluate the noise reduction performance under different conditions and to compare the in-situ performance results with those from laboratory tests.
인도네시아는 전 세계에서 여섯 번째로 많은 탄소 배출국으로, 2023년 기준 약 729 MtCO₂를 배출하며 아세안 국가 중 가장 높은 배출량을 기록하고 있다(Global Carbon Atlas). 이러한 탄소 배출은 주로 화석연료 사용과 산림 벌채로 인해 발생한다. 인도네시아 정부 는 파리기후협정에 따라 2030년까지 온실가스 배출을 29% 감축하는 목표를 설정했으며, 이를 달성하기 위해 다양한 저탄소 기술 도입 이 필수적이다. 특히, 도로 건설 분야에서는 탄소 저감과 시공 효율성을 동시에 향상시킬 수 있는 중온 아스팔트(Warm Mix Asphalt) 기술이 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 인도네시아에 적합한 중온 아스팔트 기술의 적용 가능성을 평가하기 위해, 국내 골재와 중온첨가제를 사용하여 인도 네시아 현지 바인더(IN 6070, 침입도 60-70)와 국내 아스팔트 바인더(PG64-22, 침입도 60-80)를 각각 비교 분석하였다. 인도네시아 시방 기준에 따라 배합설계를 수행하였으며, 합성입도는 인도네시아 시방기준과 유사한 입도(WC-2)를 적용하였다. 또한 현지 바인더와 국내 바인더를 비교하여 성능 차이를 분석하고, 중온첨가제를 사용한 경우와 그렇지 않은 경우의 혼합물 특성도 평가하였다. 아스팔트 바인더 시험 결과, 인도네시아 바인더는 국내 바인더와 유사하였으며, 중온첨가제를 적용한 경우 점도가 모두 낮아지는 경 향을 보였다. 혼합물 시험 결과(국내 골재 사용) 두 바인더 모두 유사한 성능을 나타냈으며, 중온첨가제를 사용한 경우 가열 아스팔트 대비 약 30℃ 낮은 온도에서도 공극률이 유사하였고, 품질 기준을 모두 만족하였다. 향후 인도네시아의 골재와 바인더에 국내 중온첨 가제를 적용한 시험 결과가 본 연구와 유사하게 나타난다면, 국내 중온첨가제를 인도네시아 도로 건설에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단 된다.
한국 고속도로 포장은 1970년 경부고속도로 건설을 시작으로 많은 발전을 이루었으며, 최근 도로이용자에게 쾌적한 도로를 제공할 수 있는 배수성 아스팔트 포장에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 한국 고속도로 배수성 아스팔트 구간에 대한 시공목적별, 신설과 유지보수 등을 구분하여 배수성 아스팔트 포장 적용현황을 분석하였다. 또한, 적용된 배수성 아스팔트 포장의 교통량을 조사 분석하였으며, 효율적인 교통량 그룹 선정 방법을 제시하였다. 고속도로에 적용된 배수성 아스팔트 포장의 전주기 평가를 위해 평가항 목을 제시하였다. 내구성평가 항목으로는 포장상태평가지수와 표면조도를 선정하였다. 기능성 평가 항목으로는 내부 공극 막힘여부를 확인할 수 있는 현장투수, 미끄럼저항지수, 포장노면과 타이어에서 발생하는 도로소음원 평가를 위한 도로소음을 선정하였다. 그리고 조사 항목들에 대한 배수성 아스팔트 포장의 전주기 평가를 통해 각각 조사 항목에 대한 정량적 분석평가를 수행하여 도로소음도 예 측식을 제안하였다.
In the contemporary era, 3D printing technology has become widely utilized across diverse fields, including biomedicine, industrial design, manufacturing, food processing, aerospace, and construction engineering. The inherent advantages of automation, precision, and speed associated with 3D printing have progressively led to its incorporation into road engineering. Asphalt, a temperature-responsive material that softens at high temperatures and solidifies as it cools, presents distinctive challenges and opportunities in this context. For the effective implementation of 3D printing technology in road engineering, 3D printed asphalt (3DPA) must exhibit favorable performance and printability. This requires attributes such as good fluidity, extrudability, and buildability. Furthermore, materials utilizing 3DPA for crack repair should possess high viscosity, elasticity, toughness, superior high-temperature stability, and resistance to low-temperature cracking. These characteristics ultimately contribute to enhancing pavement longevity and ensuring worker safety.
PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to provide basic data to improve the service life of asphalt pavement using basalt aggregate in Jeju Island by evaluating the performance of asphalt pavement through analysis of material and structural aspects. METHODS : To evaluate the performance of Jeju Island's asphalt pavement, cracks, permanent deformation, and longitudinal roughness were analyzed for the Aejo-ro road, which has high traffic and frequent premature damage. Cores were collected from Aejo-ro sections in good condition and damaged condition, and the physical properties of each layer were compared and analyzed. In addition, plate cores were collected from two sections with severe damage and the cause of pavement damage was analyzed in detail. RESULTS : About 45% of the collected cores suffered damage such as layer separation and damage to the lower layer. The asphalt content of surface layer in the damaged section was found to be 1.1% lower on average than that in the good condition section, and the mix gradations generally satisfied the standards. The density difference between the cores of each layer was found to be quite large, and the air voids was found to be at a high level. CONCLUSIONS : Test results on the cores showed that, considering the high absorption ratio of basalt aggregate, the asphalt content was generally low, and the high air voids of the pavement was believed to have had a significant impact on damage. High air voids in asphalt pavement can be caused by poor mixture itself, poor construction management, or a combination of the two factors. Additionally, the separation of each layer is believed to be the cause of premature failure of asphalt pavement.
PURPOSES : This study is aimed to economic analysis of the ferronickel slag pavement method carried out to suggest the necessity of developing ferronickel slag pavement technology. METHODS : A life cycle cost analysis of the application of the Ferronickel Slag pavement method and the cutting + overlay pavement method was performed to compare the economic indicators and greenhouse gas emissions for each pavement method. RESULTS : As a result of the analysis, regardless of the Ferronickel Slag mixing rate, if the common performance of the Ferronickel Slag pavement method is the same or superior to the existing pavement method, it is more economical than the existing pavement method. Furthermore, the lower the maintenance cost of the Ferronickel Slag pavement method, the higher the economic feasibility due to the high Ferronickel Slag mixing rate. Greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced from at least 9% to up to 53% through the application of the Ferronickel Slag pavement method, except for some scenario analysis results. CONCLUSIONS : This study provided that the Ferronickel Slag pavement method was superior to the existing pavement method in terms of economic and environmental aspects. Therefore, it was found that the objective justification of developing road pavement technology using Ferronickel Slag was secured.
PURPOSES : The evaluation of the low-temperature performance of an asphalt mixture is crucial for mitigating transverse thermal cracking and preventing traffic accidents on expressways. Engineers in pavement agencies must identify and verify the pavement sections that require urgent management. In early 2000, the research division of the Korea Expressway Corporation developed a three-dimensional (3D) pavement condition monitoring profiler vehicle (3DPM) and an advanced infographic (AIG) highway pavement management system computer program. Owing to these efforts, the management of the entire expressway network has become more precise, effective, and efficient. However, current 3DPM and AIG technologies focus only on the pavement surface and not on the entire pavement layer. Over the years, along with monitoring, further strengthening and verification of the feasibility of current 3DPM and AIG technologies by performing extensive mechanical tests and data analyses have been recommended. METHODS : First, the pavement section that required urgent care was selected using the 3DPM and AIG approaches. Second, asphalt mixture cores were acquired from the specified section, and a low-temperature fracture test, semi- circular bending (SCB) test, was performed. The mechanical parameters, energy-release rate, and fracture toughness were computed and compared. RESULTS : As expected, the asphalt mixture cores acquired from the specified pavement section ( poor condition – bad section) exhibited negative fracture performances compared to the control section (good section). CONCLUSIONS : The current 3DPM and AIG approaches in KEC can successfully evaluate and analyze selected pavement conditions. However, more extensive experimental studies and mathematical analyses are required to further strengthen and upgrade current pavement analysis approaches.
