현재 국내에서는 아스팔트 포장의 예방적 유지보수공법의 사용이 미미하며, 시공 기준 또한 부재한 실정이다. 이에 따라 포장가속시 험시설을 활용하여 예방적 유지보수공법 적용에 대한 공용성 변화 분석을 진행하였다. 본 연구에서는 포그씰 A, B 공법에 대해 도포 량을 다르게 시공하여 기능성 인자인 BPN, MPD와 물성 인자인 공극률에 대해 추적조사를 진행하여 공용성 변화를 분석하였다. 주행 횟수의 산정은 가속시험기의 등가단축하중(ESAL, Equivalent SIngle Axle Load)의 관계식을 통해 실제 교통량을 등가단축하중으로 환산 하여 가속시험 주행 횟수를 산정하여 시공 후 공용 1년까지의 성능을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 기능성 인자인 MPD는 차량 주행으로 인 해 점차 감소하였으며, BPN은 시공 직후 포그씰 처리로 인한 미끄럼 저하가 지배적으로 나타났으나 점차 회복되는 것으로 나타났다. 물성 인자인 공극률은 주행 횟수가 증가할수록 포그씰이 포장 표면으로 채워져 공극률이 줄어드는 것으로 나타났다. 도포량별 분석 결과 도포량이 가장 많은 구간에서 저하율이 모든 인자에서 가장 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 두 도포량의 경우 인자별로 미세한 차이는 존재하였으나 대부분 비슷한 경향을 보이는 것으로 확인되었다.

국내 도로 연장은 2023년 기준 115,878km로 매년 증가하는 추세를 보이고 있다. 이중 준공 30년 이상된 노후도로의 비율은 51.5%에 해당하고 있어 도로 유지관리의 중요성이 대두되는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 아스팔트 예방적 유지보수공법인 포그씰(Fog Seal)을 실 제 공용중에 있는 도로에 적용하여 공용성 변화를 분석하였다. 공용성능 분석을 위해 차량의 휠패스 부분에서 공법당 6개의 코어를 3 차년간 채취하여 공극률 및 바인더 함량 값을 비교하였다. 분석 방법으로는 포그씰 공법을 시공하지 않은 구간을 대조군으로 선정하 여 추적조사 기간에 따른 변화 추이를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 공극률은 포그씰 시공 이후 지속적인 감소를 보였다. 바인더 함량의 경 우 공용연수가 증가할수록 바인더 함량 또한 점차 증가하는 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 공용연수가 증가함에 따라 차량의 주행으로 인 해 표면에 도포된 포그씰이 점차 도로 표면 및 균열 속으로 스며들어 내부의 공극이 채워지는 것으로 판단된다.

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 : 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.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the common performance of asphalt pavements, determine the timing of preventive maintenance, and determine the optimal timing of application of the preventive maintenance methods by analyzing PMS data. METHODS : Using PMS data on asphalt pavement performance on highways, we derived the major damage factors and evaluated them according to the public period and traffic level. Among the factors evaluated, we determined those that could be improved by preventive maintenance, calculated the amount of change annually, and derived the timing of the application of the preventive maintenance method through correlation analysis. RESULTS : Among highway PMS data factors, crack variation was found to affect preventive maintenance, which increased rapidly after five years of performance. Traffic analysis showed that changes increased rapidly in the fifth, sixth, and seventh years when AADT exceeded 20,000, exceeded 10,000, and was under 10,000, respectively. Analysis of the amount of crack variation according to the pavement type showed that crack variation increased rapidly in the overlay section compared to the general AP section. CONCLUSIONS : Crack variation is the performance factor that was expected to be effective in preventive maintenance, and the PMS data showed that the initial application time of the preventive maintenance method varied by one year, depending on the traffic volume.

PURPOSES : In this study, a method to use magnesium phosphate ceramic (MPC) concrete for the surface maintenance of airport pavements with jointed concrete is developed. METHODS : To investigate the application of a material incorporated with MPC for the surface maintenance of airport pavements with jointed concrete, structures with various cross-sections and thicknesses were constructed. The cross-section of the structure was modeled for the surface maintenance of four types of pavements and typical pavement construction processes, such as cutting, cleaning, production and casting, finishing, hardening, and joint reinstallation. Subsequently, the hours required for each process was determined. RESULTS : The MPC concrete used for the surface maintenance of airport pavements with jointed concrete demonstrate excellent performance. The MPC concrete indicates a compressive strength exceeding 25 MPa for 2 h, and its hydration heat is 52.9 ℃~61.2 ℃. Meanwhile, the crushing and cleaning performed during the production and casting of the MPC require a significant amount of time. Specifically, for a partial repair process, a total of 6 h is sufficient under traffic control, although this duration is inadequate for a complete repair process. CONCLUSIONS : MPC concrete is advantageous for the surface maintenance of airport pavements with jointed concrete. In fact, MPC concrete can be sufficiently constructed using existing concrete maintenance equipment, and partial repair works spanning a cross-sectional area of 11 m2 can be completed in 1 d. In addition, if the crushing and cleaning are performed separately from production and construction, then repair work using MPC concrete can be performed at a larger scale.
