PURPOSES : A geo-grid pavement, e.g., a stress-absorbing membrane interlayer (SAMI), can be applied to an asphalt-overlay method on the existing surface-pavement layer for pavement maintenance related to reflection cracking. Reflection cracking can occur when a crack in the existing surface layer influences the overlay pavement. It can reduce the pavement life cycle and adversely affect traffic safety. Moreover, a failed overlay can reduce the economic value. In this regard, the objective of this study is to evaluate the bonding properties between the rigid pavement and a SAMI by using the direct shear test and the pull-off test. The predicted fractural energy functions with the shear stress were determined from a numerical analysis of the moving average method and the polynomial regression method.
METHODS : In this research, the shear and pull-off tests were performed to evaluate the properties of mixtures constructed using no interlayer, a tack-coat, and SAMI with fabric and without fabric. The lower mixture parts (describing the existing pavement) were mixed using the 25-40-8 joint cement-concrete standard. The overlay layer was constructed especially using polymer-modified stone mastic asphalt (SMA) pavement. It was composed of an SMA aggregate gradation and applied as the modified agent. The sixth polynomial regression equation and the general moving average method were utilized to estimate the interlayer shear strength. These numerical analysis methods were also used to determine the predictive models for estimating the fracture energy.
RESULTS: From the direct shear test and the pull-off test results, the mixture bonded using the tack-coat (applied as the interlayer between the overlay layer and the jointed cement concrete) had the strongest shear resistance and bonding strength. In contrast, the SAMI pavement without fiber has a strong need for fractural energy at failure.
CONCLUSIONS : The effects of site-reflection cracking can be determined using the same tests on cored specimens. Further, an empiricalmechanical pavement-design analysis using the finite-element method (FEM) must be done to understand the appropriate SAMI application. In this regard, the FEM application analysis and bonding property tests using cored specimens from public roads will be conducted in further research.
Under cyclic loading, the shear capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column connections is significantly decreased by the joint bond-slip and shear cracking as deformation increases. In the present study, Joint shear strength model on the basis of bond-slip was developed to evaluate deformability at the joint shear failure.
탄소섬유시트의 부착성능을 조사하는 방법으로써 중앙을 절단한 보 공시체를 이용한 휨 거동 형식의 시험기를 개발하여, 콘크리트의 압축강도를 변수로 정적 재하 실험을 실시하였다. 탄소섬유시트의 파단의 결과를 이용하여 이 시험기의 검증과 함께 전단부착강도의 산출식을 도출하려고 노력 하였다. 그 결과, 첫 번째로 새로운 형식의 시험기에 의한 부착강도시험의 타당성이 증명되었다. 두 번째는 CFS 표면 변형률의 결과로부터 구해진 전단부착강도는 2종류의 경향이 있음이 발견되었다. 그 데이터 중에서 비교적 안정성이 높은 전단부착강도의 평균치는 3.41MPa, 하한치는 2.11MPa이었다. 이번 실험에서는 콘크리트의 강도가 전단부착강도에 미치는 특별한 영향을 볼 수 없었다.
