본 연구는 특수한 조건에서의 줄눈 콘크리트포장의 설계 및 성능에 관한 분석을 목적으로 한다. 줄눈 콘크리트포장은 시멘트 콘크리트 포장의 한 형태로, 오랜 기간 도로 포장형식으로 사용되어 왔다. 이 포장 방식은 철근을 사용하지 않는 대신, 콘크리트 슬래브의 균열을 줄눈을 통해 유도하고, 다월바와 타이바를 통해 슬래브에 생기는 응력을 줄이는 방식이 다. 대한민국의 다양한 지역 환경과 계절적 특성은 도로 포장설계에 주요한 인자로 적용된다. 특히, 슬래브의 부등건조수 축이 평탄성 문제의 주요 원인으로 지적되며, 이는 온습도의 변화에 의해 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 유한요소해석 을 활용하여 줄눈 콘크리트포장 슬래브의 거동을 분석하고, 콘크리트 슬래브의 두께, 줄눈 간격, 타이바 및 다웰바의 배 치 등 주요 설계 변수의 영향을 평가한다. 이러한 설계 인자들이 슬래브의 응력과 변위에 미치는 영향을 확인하며, 다양 한 환경 조건 하에서의 설계 방법의 유효성을 검증한다. 본 연구는 줄눈 콘크리트포장의 실제 배치 방식을 모델링하여, 기존 설계 방식의 보안 사항을 파악하고, 설계 기준 내에서의 주요 인자 변화를 통해 부등건조수축을 완화할 수 있는 방 안을 제시한다. 이를 통해, 특수 환경 조건에서의 온습도 영향을 고려한 효율적인 포장 설계 방안을 도출함으로써, 도로 포장의 평탄성과 내구성 향상에 기여하고자 한다.
PURPOSES: The behavior of a concrete pavement in a tunnel was investigated, based on temperature data obtained from the field and FEM analysis. METHODS: The concrete pavement in a tunnel was evaluated via two methods. First, temperature data was collected in air and inside the concrete pavement both outside and inside the tunnel. Second, FEM analysis was used to evaluate the stress condition associated with the slab thickness, joint spacing, dowel, and rock foundation, based on temperature data from the field. RESULTS : Temperature monitoring revealed that the temperature change in the tunnel was lower and more stable than that outside the tunnel. Furthermore, the temperature difference between the top and bottom of the slab was lower inside the tunnel than outside. FEM analysis showed that, in many cases, the stress in the concrete pavement in the tunnel was lower than that outside the tunnel. CONCLUSIONS : Temperature monitoring and the behavior of the concrete pavement in the tunnel revealed that, from an environmental point of view, the condition in the tunnel is advantageous to that outside the tunnel. The behavior in the tunnel was significantly less extreme, and therefore the concrete pavement in the tunnel could be designed more economically, than that outside the tunnel.
PURPOSES: This paper investigates behavior and performance of concrete pavement in tunnel based on temperature data from field. METHODS : In this study, there are 4 contents to evaluate concrete pavement in tunnel, First, Comparison for distress was conducted at outside, transition, and inside part of tunnel. Secondly, temperature data was collected in air and inside concrete pavement in outside and inside tunnel. Thirdly, FEM analysis was performed to evaluate stress condition, based on temperature data from field. Finally, performance prediction was done with KPRP program. RESULTS: From the distress evaluation, failure of inside tunnel was much less than it of outside tunnel, Temperature change in tunnel was less than out side, and also it was more stable. According to result of FEM analysis, both curling stress status of inside tunnel was lower than it of outside tunnel. Based on KPRP program analysis, performance of inside tunnel was longer than outside. CONCLUSIONS : Through all study about behavior and performance of concrete pavement in tunnel, condition in tunnel has more advantages from environmental and distress point of view. Therefore, performance of inside tunnel was better than outside.
터널은 토공부와 비교하면 어둡고 갇힌 공간이기 때문에 콘크리트 포장 시공시 품질관리가 어려워 교 통 개방 후 승차감이 불량하거나 심각한 소음 문제가 발생한다. 일반적으로 토공부의 노후 콘크리트 포장 에서는 주행 쾌적성 문제를 해결하기 위해 다이아몬드 그라인딩 공법(DG)을 적용하여왔다. 하지만 돌출 된 fin이 깨지거나 마모가 되면 그 기능이 다하여 재시공이 필요한 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하 기 위해 개발된 공법이 NGCS (Next Generation Concrete Surface)이다. 본 연구에서는 토공부 콘크리 트 포장에 적용된 NGCS 공법을 터널 내 포장에 적용하여 도로 이용자의 주행 쾌적성을 향상을 위한 노력 을 진행하였다. 일반 종방향 타이닝, DG 및 NGCS을 건설중인 터널에 적용한 후 공용성을 평가하였다. 공용성 평가결과, 평탄성에서는 NGCS 공법과 DG 우수하였으며, 종방향 타이닝이 가장 낮았다. 미끄럼 마찰 저항에서는 DG가 가장 높았고, 다음으로 NGCS 및 종방향 타이닝 순으로 평가되었다. 실내외 소음 평가 결과, NGCS 구간의 소음도가 가장 낮았으며, 다음으로 DG, 종방향 타이닝 순이었다. 전체적인 평 가 결과, 고기능성 표면처리 공법인 NGCS를 터널 내 콘크리트 포장에 적용한다면 주행 안전성을 높이고 소음을 감소시켜 쾌적한 주행환경을 구현할 수 있을 것이다.
PURPOSES : The purpose of this article is to compare and evaluate the riding comfort of a passenger in tunnels depending on different surface textures of concrete pavement. METHODS: Evaluation of riding comfort is conducted at 17 sections, which have different surface texture such as transverse tinned(TT), longitudinal tinned(LT) and diamond grinded(DG). A triaxial accelerometer was set up on the passenger seat surface of the test vehicle to measure vibrations of an occupant, then the effects of vibration on comfort and health were evaluated by ISO 2631. And microphones were installed at passenger's ears height to measure sound pressure level(SPL) in the test vehicle. Additionally, a surface microphone was installed on the inside of wheel arch to evaluate noise between tire and pavement by NCPX method. All tests were conducted cruising at 100km/h. RESULTS : The results of all tests are as follows. First, both vibration magnitudes for comfort and for health in LT and DG sections are almost same and they represent lower than those in TT sections. Second, the average SPL of DG shows the lowest decibels among them. And third, it is founded that interior noise is significantly affected by noise between tire and pavement. CONCLUSIONS : It may be concluded that DG can provide more excellent riding comfort to passenger than LT or TT. Therefore, it is necessary to consider applying DG to existing pavement surface to improve surface condition when the driving environment especially requires riding comfort like a long tunnel.
PURPOSES: This study is to suggest tunnel length to spray curing compound, based on the field tests. METHODS : At first field test, length from the entrance of tunnel to wet wall was checked by visual survey. The second and third test, various sensors were installed in concrete or in tunnel, such as RH sensor, temperature sensor, portable weather station and etc.. And also, test for bleeding and retaining water of concrete were conducted to evaluate environmental effect on concrete pavement. RESULTS: The result of the field experiment for tunnel length to spray curing compound indicates that length changes depending on tunnel length, season, and location. Environmental condition of a short tunnel was not much different between location near entrance and at center of tunnel. However, in case of a medium and long tunnel, effect of outside environmental condition decreased, when location moved into tunnel center of it. CONCLUSIONS: From the testing results, it can be proposed that optimum tunnel length to spray curing compound is 60m for a medium and long tunnel, and whole length for a short tunnel.
