국내 태양광 산업은 2000년대 초 크게 성장하였으나 태양광 패널의 수명이 도래함에 따라 폐패널 발생량이 급격히 증 가할 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 태양광 패널의 주요 구성요소인 강화유리는 상용화된 재활용 기술이 부족하여 대부분 파 쇄 후 매립되고 있는 실정이다. 향후 대량 발생하게 될 폐패널의 재활용 기술 개발 필요성이 대두됨에 따라 태양광 폐패 널의 강화유리를 아스팔트 콘크리트 재료로서 재활용할 수 있는 기술을 개발하고자 하였다. 따라서 폐패널 유리 골재를 제조 및 이를 적용한 아스팔트 혼합물의 배합설계를 수행하였으며 일반 아스팔트 혼합물과 폐패널 유리 골재 아스팔트 혼합물의 성능평가 및 경제성을 비교·분석하였다. 그 결과 폐패널 유리 아스팔트 혼합물이 저온균열 저항성을 제외한 모 든 성능 시험에서 우수한 성과를 보였으며, 경제성 또한 일반 아스팔트 혼합물과 비교 시 뛰어난 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) 포장 육에 사용되는 플라스틱 트레이를 종이 트레이로 대체하 여 포장 및 유통할 때 이화학적 특성 및 미생물 제어에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 제품의 안정성을 검증하기 위하 여 수행되었다. 안정성 비교를 위하여 국내에서 도축된 우 육을 가열하지 않은 생고기 상태로 각각 플라스틱 트레이와 종이 트레이에 넣고 트레이 내부를 15±5% O2와 85% CO2로 가스 처리한 다음, 포장 상단을 폴리에틸렌 필름으 로 밀봉하여 5oC에서 냉장 보관하였으며, 실험군과 대조 군은 6개의 시험구로 분류하여 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13일 동 안 저장하고, 각 저장 기간에 해당되는 시료에 대하여 미 생물 및 이화학 규격 실험을 진행하였다. 연구 결과, 대조 군과 비교하여 모든 중량(100 g, 500 g, 1,000 g)에서 총균, 대 장균군, 대장균수와 같은 위생 지표 병원성 미생물 실험 값의 유의미한 차이가 발견되지 않았으며(P<0.05), 마찬가 지로, 포장된 육류 표면의 색도 헌터 값(a*, b*, L*)과, pH, 포장재의 치환된 O2와 CO2의 가스 측정치 비율, 휘발성 염기성 질소(volatile basic nitrogen, VBN) 수치와 같은 이 화학적 측정값에서 유의미한 차이가 없었다(P<0.05). 상기 의 연구 결과를 고려할 때, 친환경 종이 재질 트레이를 MAP 방식에 적용하였을 경우 플라스틱과 비교하여 안전 성이나 품질을 손상 시키지 않고 육류 제품의 MAP 응용 분야에서 플라스틱에 대한 지속 가능한 대안으로 사용될 수 있음을 시사한다. 이를 통하여 식품 산업에서 지속 가 능한 포장 솔루션의 새로운 기회가 열리고, 플라스틱 소 재에 대한 의존도가 감소하여 환경적 영향이 완화될 것으 로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to derive an optimal mix design for bridge deck pavements that can compensate for the limitations of latexmodified concrete (LMC). To address the limitations of LMC, this paper proposes the incorporation of silica fume into LMC. Concrete mixtures with varying ratios of latex and silica fume were prepared, and tests for compressive strength, flexural strength, and chloride-ion penetration resistance were conducted to compare and analyze the fundamental performance of each mix. Latex contributed to the improvement of the initial pore structure and significantly affected the chloride-ion penetration resistance in the early stages of curing. However, its influence gradually diminished over time. In contrast, silica fume induced additional C-S-H formation and further improved the pore structure through pozzolanic reactions as time progressed, thus exerting a greater impact in the later stages of curing. The L7-SF8 variable demonstrated the best performance in terms of compressive strength and chloride-ion penetration resistance. Given the characteristics of bridge-deck pavements, this variable is considered the most suitable for ensuring long-term durability. Therefore, this paper proposes a mixture of 7% latex and 8% silica fume as the optimal mix design.

In this study, the strength properties of recycled plastic materials using polypropylene, polyethylene, and high-density polyethylene were evaluated by measuring their compressive and flexural strengths, which are typically measured in cement-concrete pavements, to assess the feasibility of using recycled plastic materials as construction materials for modular pavements that can easily integrate advanced sensors, such as those for future autonomous driving. Two types of recycled plastic (composite resin and high-density polyethylene (HDPE)) and two types of inorganic materials (fly ash and limestone filler) were selected to evaluate the strengths of recycled plastic materials. Specimens for the compressive and flexural strength tests were prepared with four different recycled plastic contents (100%, 80%, 60%, and 40%). The compressive and flexural strengths of the recycled plastic specimens were measured according to the KSL ISO 679 and KSL 5105 methods, and the strength properties were analyzed based on the type and content of the recycled plastic and type of inorganic material used. Distortion and shrinkage problems were observed during specimen preparation using the 100% recycled plastic material. This indicated that inorganic materials must be incorporated to improve the flexural strength and facilitate specimen preparation. The compressive strength of plastic materials was comparable to the 28-day compressive strength of conventional cement-concrete pavements. The compressive strength of the composite resin was approximately twice that of HDPE. The flexural strengths of both the composite and HDPE were in the range of 15–25 MPa, suggesting their suitability as materials for the construction of modular pavement structures. Based on the limited strength test results, we can conclude that the strength properties of recycled plastic materials are similar to those of conventional cement-concrete paving materials. From the strength perspective, we confirmed that recycled plastic materials can be utilized as construction materials for modular pavements. However, further research should be conducted on factors such as molding methods for modular pavement structures based on different types of recycled plastic materials.

This study aimed to evaluate the performance criteria of low-noise asphalt pavements under laboratory conditions. Laboratory tests were performed on eight porous and three non-porous asphalt mixtures. Draindown, Cantabro, tensile strength ratio (TSR), and dynamic stability tests were conducted to evaluate durability. The functionality was assessed using sound-absorption and indoorpermeability- coefficient tests. The laboratory results showed that all mixtures satisfied the quality standards for the draindown and TSR tests. In the dynamic stability test, all the mixtures demonstrated adequate rutting resistance. For porous mixtures, the Cantabro test results indicated sufficient shatter resistance and the indoor-permeability-coefficient test confirmed proper drainage performance. All mixtures exhibited satisfactory sound absorption, with the porous mixtures exhibiting slightly better sound absorption than the non-porous mixtures. Both porous and non-porous mixtures are durable and functional and are used in Korea. Future field tests are required to evaluate the noise reduction performance under different conditions and to compare the in-situ performance results with those from laboratory tests.

인도네시아는 전 세계에서 여섯 번째로 많은 탄소 배출국으로, 2023년 기준 약 729 MtCO₂를 배출하며 아세안 국가 중 가장 높은 배출량을 기록하고 있다(Global Carbon Atlas). 이러한 탄소 배출은 주로 화석연료 사용과 산림 벌채로 인해 발생한다. 인도네시아 정부 는 파리기후협정에 따라 2030년까지 온실가스 배출을 29% 감축하는 목표를 설정했으며, 이를 달성하기 위해 다양한 저탄소 기술 도입 이 필수적이다. 특히, 도로 건설 분야에서는 탄소 저감과 시공 효율성을 동시에 향상시킬 수 있는 중온 아스팔트(Warm Mix Asphalt) 기술이 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 인도네시아에 적합한 중온 아스팔트 기술의 적용 가능성을 평가하기 위해, 국내 골재와 중온첨가제를 사용하여 인도 네시아 현지 바인더(IN 6070, 침입도 60-70)와 국내 아스팔트 바인더(PG64-22, 침입도 60-80)를 각각 비교 분석하였다. 인도네시아 시방 기준에 따라 배합설계를 수행하였으며, 합성입도는 인도네시아 시방기준과 유사한 입도(WC-2)를 적용하였다. 또한 현지 바인더와 국내 바인더를 비교하여 성능 차이를 분석하고, 중온첨가제를 사용한 경우와 그렇지 않은 경우의 혼합물 특성도 평가하였다. 아스팔트 바인더 시험 결과, 인도네시아 바인더는 국내 바인더와 유사하였으며, 중온첨가제를 적용한 경우 점도가 모두 낮아지는 경 향을 보였다. 혼합물 시험 결과(국내 골재 사용) 두 바인더 모두 유사한 성능을 나타냈으며, 중온첨가제를 사용한 경우 가열 아스팔트 대비 약 30℃ 낮은 온도에서도 공극률이 유사하였고, 품질 기준을 모두 만족하였다. 향후 인도네시아의 골재와 바인더에 국내 중온첨 가제를 적용한 시험 결과가 본 연구와 유사하게 나타난다면, 국내 중온첨가제를 인도네시아 도로 건설에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단 된다.

겨울철 눈, 결빙 구간의 교통사고는 평시대비 17.6 % 증가 되며, 결빙에 의한 교통사고 비율은 32.5%를 차지한다. 겨울철 교통사고 발생을 저감시키기 위해 친환경제설제의 살포 등 많은 노력을 기울이고 있지만, 염화칼슘과 같은 일반 제설제의 경우 도로구조물의 열화를 촉진하며 차량 부식을 발생시키는 요인이 되고, 열선 설치는 높은 가격으로 인해 일부 위험 구간에 소규모로 설치가 되는 한 계를 갖고 있다. 교통안전 시설 중 하나인 미끄럼방지포장재는 노면의 미끄럼저항력을 높여 주어 자동차의 제동거리를 짧게 하기 위 한 포장시설이며 선형이 불량한 구간, 내리막 구간, 어린이보호구역 등에 설치되어, 미끄럼저항 및 시인성 등의 효과로 인해 교통안전 에 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 본 연구는 융설기능을 포함한 미끄럼방지포장재에 관한 연구로 미끄럼방지포장재가 자체적으로 융설기 능을 발휘하여 강설 시 조기융설효과를 나타내며 이후 결빙방지 효과까지 발현하여 겨울철 교통안전 확보에 기여하고자 한다.

Using porous asphalt in order to reduce traffic noise and increase road safety specially in rainy weather is become a time demand now a days. Traditional dense asphalt can not provide a well mannered drain systems, adequate road capacity and noise friendly environment, which can make harm to roadway, property and ultimately to the life. In contrast, porous asphalt provides a environment friendly, cost effective, high skid resistive and well drains pavement with great durability. Additionally, the ability of porous to decrease the number of crashes both in sunny and wet-weather are up to the mark. In this context, investigate the ability of porous asphalt allows for deeper insights into all the mentioned factors, which help to make a durable, time demandable, more safer pavements in the field of pavement engineering. By combining some lab tests, field tests and analyzing the data, this research offers more accurate and reliable results to lead a pavement situation adaptable.

PURPOSES : As evaluation methods for road paving materials become increasingly complex, there is a need for a method that combines computational science and informatics for new material development. This study aimed to develop a rational methodology for applying molecular dynamics and AI-based material development techniques to the development of additives for asphalt mixtures. METHODS : This study reviewed relevant literature to analyze various molecular models, evaluation methods, and metrics for asphalt binders. It examined the molecular structures and conditions required for calculations using molecular dynamics and evaluated methods for assessing the interactions between additives and asphalt binders, as well as properties such as the density, viscosity, and glass transition temperature. Key evaluation indicators included the concept and application of interaction energy, work of adhesion, cohesive energy density, solubility parameters, radial distribution function, energy barriers, elastic modulus, viscosity, and stress-strain curves. RESULTS : The study identified key factors and conditions for effectively evaluating the physical properties of asphalt binders and additives. It proposed selective application methods and ranges for the layer structure, temperature conditions, and evaluation metrics, considering the actual conditions in which asphalt binders were used. Additional elements and conditions considered in the literature may be further explored, considering the computational demands. CONCLUSIONS : This study devised a methodology for evaluating the physical properties of asphalt binders considering temperature and aging. It reviewed and selected useful indicators for assessing the interaction between asphalt binders, additives, and modified asphalt binders and aggregates under various environmental conditions. By applying the proposed methods and linking the results with informatics, the interaction between asphalt binders and additives could be efficiently evaluated, serving as a reliable method for new material development.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the performance of MAST composite pavement. METHODS : A Testbed with three different sections with varying pavement materials were constructed: Section 1 (MAST(Multi-Layered Asphalt Surface Treatment) Composite Pavement; RCC(Roller Compacted Concrete)+Modified DBST(Double Bituminous Surface Treatment), Section 2 (Aggregate base+Modified DBST), and Section 3 (aggregate base+General DBST). The structural stability and skid resistance were evaluated using LFWD test and sand patch test, respectively. Moreover, laboratory specimens of four different pavement materials (HMA(Hot Mix Asphalt), Gravel base+DBST, RCC+DBST, and RCC+Modified DBST) were fabricated using and the rutting resistance of each pavement type was evaluated using the MMLS3. RESULTS : As a result of the LFWD(Light Falling Weight Deflectometer) test, the elastic modulus of Section 1 was significantly higher compared to the other section with values between 450 MPa to 650 MPa. Meanwhile, the elastic modulus of Section 2 and Section 3 were almost similar from 50 MPa to 150 MPa. Moreover, sand patch test results showed that Section 1 and Section 2 have an excellent surface roughness with values higher than 0.7 mm but Section 3 has a poor surface roughness with MTD(Mean Texture Depth) value of 0.4 mm. Lastly, based on the results of the MMLS3(third scale Model Mobile Load Simulator) test, gravel base+DBST showed the lowest resistance to rutting among the four specimens, and both RCC+modified DBST and RCC+DBST showed good performance up to 600 loading cycles, but the rut depth increased rapidly until 1,000 loading cycles. CONCLUSIONS : MAST composite pavement(RCC+modified DBST) has superior structural stability compared to general DBST pavement (aggregate base+DBST), has excellent skid resistance with values higher than 0.7 mm, and has similar rutting resistance to that of general dense asphalt concrete pavement. Therefore, exhibiting its good performance in both structural and functional aspects, it can be concluded that MAST composite pavement(RCC+modified DBST) can be an effective alternative for pavement material in Southeast Asian developing countries where support for heavy vehicle loads is required and rutting is likely to occur.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to provide basic data to improve the service life of asphalt pavement using basalt aggregate in Jeju Island by evaluating the performance of asphalt pavement through analysis of material and structural aspects. METHODS : To evaluate the performance of Jeju Island's asphalt pavement, cracks, permanent deformation, and longitudinal roughness were analyzed for the Aejo-ro road, which has high traffic and frequent premature damage. Cores were collected from Aejo-ro sections in good condition and damaged condition, and the physical properties of each layer were compared and analyzed. In addition, plate cores were collected from two sections with severe damage and the cause of pavement damage was analyzed in detail. RESULTS : About 45% of the collected cores suffered damage such as layer separation and damage to the lower layer. The asphalt content of surface layer in the damaged section was found to be 1.1% lower on average than that in the good condition section, and the mix gradations generally satisfied the standards. The density difference between the cores of each layer was found to be quite large, and the air voids was found to be at a high level. CONCLUSIONS : Test results on the cores showed that, considering the high absorption ratio of basalt aggregate, the asphalt content was generally low, and the high air voids of the pavement was believed to have had a significant impact on damage. High air voids in asphalt pavement can be caused by poor mixture itself, poor construction management, or a combination of the two factors. Additionally, the separation of each layer is believed to be the cause of premature failure of asphalt pavement.

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.
