시멘트 콘크리트 포장의 양생 공정에서는 피막양생제를 살포하는 것이 가장 일반적이며 양생포와 같은 덮개를 콘크리트 포장 위에 덮어 온도와 습도를 유지하는 방법으로 콘크리트 포장의 강도를 발현시키기도 한다. 콘크리트 포장의 미끄럼 저항 및 배수, 주행안전 성을 향상시키기 위해서는 양생 공정 이전에 표면 타이닝 공정을 수행하는 것이 일반적이지만 양생 이후에 그루빙을 실시하기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 포장 품질에 지대한 영향을 주는 양생 작업과 표면 그루빙 작업의 일원화 방법 개발을 위한 기초 연구로써 3D 스케치 프로그램과 3D 프린터를 이용하여 타원형, 삼각형, 사각형 모양의 홈으로 그루빙을 형성하면서 동시에 양생포로 사용이 가 능한 그루빙 양생 플레이트를 설계하여 제작하였다. 그루빙 양생 플레이트의 적용성을 분석하기 위해 콘크리트 공시체를 제작하여 실 내 실험을 수행하였으며 양생 플레이트의 그루빙 홈 형상에 따른 콘크리트 포장 표면 그루빙 형성 상태를 분석하였다.
PURPOSES : Derive a road pavement design method using Geocells, aim to derive a road pavement design and construction method suitable for the characteristics of the Bangladesh region METHODS : To assess long-term performance during road construction in Southeast Asia using Geocells, field tests and numerical analysis are conducted to verify stability. RESULTS : A total of 12 displacement measurements were conducted during the field tests, confirming an average load of 15.75 kN and an average displacement of 0.542mm. Inverse analysis was performed to obtain the properties of Geocell combined with compacted soil. The numerical analysis results confirmed that the insertion of Geocell provides better stability compared to the case with only compacted soil. CONCLUSIONS : Based on field tests and numerical analysis, a road design plan suitable for the Southeast Asian environment was proposed. A preliminary test section was selected in the Comilla region of Bangladesh, and test construction has been completed. Subsequent evaluations of the structural performance by soil layer in the test construction area will be conducted to develop a Geocell road pavement method, taking into consideration the characteristics of the Bangladesh region.
PURPOSES : This study intended to derive a methodology that can evaluate water splash caused by distress on the road surface based on experimental methods and to present quantitatively by analyzing the impact on road users. METHODS : Through literature review, the current problems of road pavement and drainage facility standards, the factors of road splash caused by puddle was selected to measure damage. Field measurements were conducted by setting different conditions for each factors and setting different conditions based on the hypothesis. In addition, water splash by surface distress type and puddle was measured to analyze using statistical techniques from correlation to multi-regression. RESULTS : The maximum and effective distance due to road splash increases as the driving speed, regardless of vehicle load and tyre type. Splash was measured according to the type of road distress to analyze the correlation between the influencing factors, and there was a weak correlation between the width and length of the puddle, depth and the effective distance. In addition, the interaction analysis showed that there was an interaction between the width of the water hole and the depth of puddle. Moreover, based on the multi-regression analysis, it was not statistical significant. This is judged to that the number of data samples used for this analysis is limited because the diversity of puddle conditions cannot be set differently for each type of distress. CONCLUSIONS : Since the distress of depending on the size, depth and shape of the road surface, it is necessary to calculate it and present maintenance standards, so this results present an experimental methodology that can intuitively evaluate damage cased by unestablished puddle. From this results, this is expected to be used as a quantitative indicator to evaluate the satisfaction of road users as a functional performance according to road surface condition.
PURPOSES : This study analyzes the service life of the repair methods of jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) on expressways in Korea using PMS data.
METHODS : The Korea Expressway Corporation PMS data acquired from five major expressways in Korea were used for the analysis. The service lives of the repair methods were considered for two different cases: 1) the previous repair methods had been completely rerepaired by another or the same method due to their damage, and 2) the current repair methods were still in use.
RESULTS : The service lives of D/G and section repair were shown to be at least 30 % and 50 % shorter than expected, respectively. Joint sealing and crack sealing exhibited a service life similar to that expected. The Mill-and-Asphalt-overlay method showed an approximately 30 % longer service life; this might be because some damage to the asphalt overlay is typically neglected until subsequent maintenance and repair. When multiple repairs were applied in series for an identical pavement section, the service life of repairs on previously damaged secti ons become even shorter compared to their first application.
CONCLUSIONS : It was found that the analyzed service life of most important repair methods did not reach the expected service life, and that the service life of the same repair method becomes shorter as applied to the previously repaired concrete pavement sections. These shorter service lives should be seriously considered in future JPCP repair strategy development.
PURPOSES : As road pavement design in an apartment complex varies from one site to another, it is practically difficult to calculate and estimate the traffic volume of construction vehicles. Therefore, this study introduces a methodology to estimate the number of construction vehicles and use it as an indicator to evaluate the conditions of road pavement in an apartment complex. METHODS: Through a literature review and site survey, the operational status of the construction vehicles passing through the site was identified, and the factors affecting the number of construction vehicles were analyzed. The methodologies used to estimate the number of construction vehicles were verified by calculating the Cumulative Load Prediction Index (CLPI), which is a predictive index of the cumulative load on each path. By using this index, the traffic volume of construction vehicles can be estimated based on the number of households in an apartment complex. To prove this definition, we examined the surface and core conditions, and compared the results against the predicted values. RESULTS : By comparing the Cumulative Load Prediction Index with the crack rate on the pavement surface, we obtained a correlation coefficient of 0.92. Furthermore, the analysis indicated that the core condition rate would decrease as the Cumulative Load Prediction Index increased. This correlation between the Cumulative Load Prediction Index, and the pavement surface and core status demonstrates that the traffic volume can be estimated by considering the number of households. CONCLUSIONS: The Cumulative Load Prediction Index presented in this study is a suitable indicator for estimating the conditions of the road pavement in an apartment complex by considering the number of households in the complex, even if the construction processes and characteristics vary.
