PURPOSES:Emulsified asphalt is critical for road construction. The objective of applying asphalt emulsion as an adhesive is to prevent the phenomenon of debonding between the upper and lower layers. The quantity and veriety of bituminous material can be varied according to the type of pavement and site conditions. The objective of this study is to reveal the optimum application rates of the emulsified asphalt materials by types of tack-coats using Interface Shear Strength(ISS).METHODS:In the research, emulsified asphalt was paved on the surface of the divided mixture. The specimens of paving asphalt emulsion were utilized to evaluate the bond strength of tack-coat materials. In the evaluation process, NCHRP Report 712 was utilized to investigate the Interface Shear Strength, which reflects the bond capacity of asphalt emulsion. Then, the optimum residual application rates by tack-coat types were determined using regression analysis.RESULTS:As a consequence of squared R values investigated from 0.7 to 1 as part of the regression analysis, the tendency of predicted ISS values was compared with the results. The optimum residual application rates of AP-3, RS(C)-4, QRS-4, and BD-Coat were determined to be 0.78ℓ/m2, 0.51ℓ/m2, 0.53ℓ/m2, and 0.73ℓ/m2, respectively, utilizing 4th regression analysis.CONCLUSIONS:Based on the result of this study, it was not feasible to conclude whether higher residual application of tack-coat material leads to improved bond capacity. Rather, the shearing strength varies depending on the type of pavement.

The purpose of this study is to compare the ultrasonic pulse velocity before and after core compression test of steel fiber reinforced concrete using the ultrasonic pulse velocity method. The correlation between the column member ultrasonic pulse velocity before core test, the column member ultrasonic pulse velocity after core test, and the compressive strength of the core specimen were analyzed by fabricating a steel fiber reinforced concrete hollow column member.

In order to verify the strength of slurry shotcrete compared to existing shotcrete, The results were analyzed and evaluated.

Rebound hammer test, SonReb method and concrete core test are most useful testing methods for estimate the concrete compressive strength of deteriorated concrete structures. But the accuracy of the NDE results on the existing structures could be reduced by the effects of the uncertainty of nondestructive test methods, material effects by aging and carbonation, and mechanical damage by drilling of core. In this study, empirical procedure for verifying the in-situ compressive strength of concrete is suggested through the probabilistic analysis on the 268 data of rebound and ultra-pulse velocity and core strengths obtained from 106 bridges. To enhance the accuracy of predicted concrete strength, the coefficients of core strength, and surface hardness caused by ageing or carbonation was adopted. From the results, the proposed equation by KISTEC and the estimation procedures proposed by authors is reliable than previously suggested equation and correction coefficient.

Recently, in Seoul there is a growing interest in the L type gutter between the street and the sidewalk because the broken gutter spoils the appearance of the city. The gutter has been viewed as an unimportant attached facility of the road despite an important drainage facility. Also, the gutter lost function by various deterioration actions is becoming hideous objects of streets. Accordingly, many engineers recognized problems about the gutter and tried to seek for solution. In this study, we desired to confirm that the inside of the gutter concrete was not deteriorated even if the surface of the gutter concrete was deteriorated by the de-icing salts. We could obtain thirty core specimens deteriorated by de-icing salts in Seongbuk-gu which is old downtown, has many hills such as Arirang-Hill, Miari-Hill, etc. in Seoul and test compressive strength. It was confirmed that the compressive strength of the gutter concrete follows normal distribution and it is statistically significant 1% level that the population mean of the compressive strength of the gutter concrete is more than 18MPa.
