PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance properties of chip seals and fog seals with polymer-modified emulsions. METHODS : The performance of chip seals and fog seals was evaluated on the basis of common issues in surface treatments. Granite aggregate and four types of asphalt emulsions (one of the unmodified and three of the modified emulsions) were used considering the usage in field. A Vialit test was performed to determine the aggregate retention, and the MMLS3 (Third Scale Model Mobile Load Simulator) test was conducted to determine the aggregate retention, bleeding, and rutting. In addition, the fog seal specimens were tested by the BPT (British Pendulum Test) to evaluate skid resistance. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS : Overall, the polymer-modified emulsions (PMEs) showed better aggregate retention and bleeding resistance for both chip seals and fog seals. When comparing the performance of the PMEs, the difference was not considerable. In addition, PMEs present significantly better rutting resistance than unmodified emulsions. For skid resistance, if the recommended mix design is applied, the specimens do not cause issues with skid resistance. Although all of the fog seal specimens were over the criteria for skid resistance, the specimen fabricated by the high emulsion application rate (EAR) of the unmodified emulsion was nearly equivalent to the skid value criteria. Therefore, the use of an unmodified emulsion with a high EAR should be carefully applied in the field.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to evaluate the curing and adhesive behavior of asphalt emulsions including polymer-modified emulsions for chip seals and fog seals. METHODS : For the laboratory testing, the evaporation test, the bitumen bond strength (BBS) test, and the Vialit test are used. Also, the rolling ball test and the damping test are employed to evaluate the curing properties of the fog seal emulsions. In order to conduct all the tests in controled condition, all test procedures are performed in the environmental chamber. The CRS-2L and the SBS CRS-2P emulsions are used as a polymer-modified emulsion, and then unmodified emulsion, the CRS-2, is compared for the evaluation of chip seal performance. For the fog seal performance evaluation, two types of polymer-modified emulsions (FPME-1 and FPME-2) and one of unmodified emulsion, the CSS-1H, are employed. All the tests are performed at different curing times and temperatures. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS : Overall, PMEs show better curing and adhesive behavior than non-PMEs regardless of treatments types. Especially, the curing and adhesive behavior of PMEs is much better than non-PMEs before 120 minutes of curing time. Since all the test results indicate that after 120 minutes of curing time the curing adhesive behavior of emulsions, the early curing time, i.e., 120 minutes, plays an important role in the performance of chip seals and fog seals.

PURPOSES: Surface treatment is a favorable method in the pavement preventive maintenance. This study (Part Ⅰ) aimed to develop the low viscosity filling material for waterproof characteristics and high penetrable and weather resistance, and a series of companion study (Part Ⅱ) presents the coating characteristics and performance analysis using field and lab tests. METHODS : Hydrophobic characteristics of the advanced surface treatment material are observed and measured the filling depth and the permeability for sand and asphalt pavement specimen using the water absorption test and permeability test, X-RAY CT test. Color difference for the weather resistance using ultraviolet ray accelerated weathering test is compared with asphalt pavement specimens. RESULTS : The developed material shows the decreased water absorption and increased impermeable effect because of the hydrophobic characteristics. It is found that the filling depth is about 6mm and weather resistance is better than asphalt pavement specimen. CONCLUSIONS: The advanced hydrophobic - low viscosity filling treatment material is developed in this study (Part Ⅰ) to improve the waterproof characteristics and high filling capacity and weather resistance for the pavement preventive maintenance.

본 연구는 칼라아스팔트 포장의 표면 색채를 보수하기 위하여 사용되는 칼라코팅 공법에 대한 평가를 버스전용 차선에서 실시한 실내외 시험에 관한 연구이다. 교통과 시간의 경과에 따라 칼라아스팔트 표면은 탈변색, 마모가 발생하여 표면 색상에 손상이 발생하게 된다. 총 9개 공법에 대하여 평가를 실시하였다. 실내시험 항목으로 UV시험, 부착성능 및 타버시험장치를 사용하여 내마모시험을 실시하고 현장시험으로는 BPT를 이용한 미끄럼저항시험과 현장 육안조사를 실시하였다. 실험 결과 각 공법들은 서로 다른 공학적 특징을 보였는데 이러한 결과는 각 공법에 사용한 주재료와 관련이 있는 것으로 판단하였다. 고무에폭시를 주재료로 사용한 공법이 평가된 공법 중에서 만족할만한 결과를 보였으나 100일 후 현장 추적조사 결과 모든 공법이 탈변색, 마모, 벗겨짐 현상이 심하게 발생하여 코팅공법으로 적합하지 않으며 추후 적용하기 위해서는 연구가 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

This paper presents the surface-wave based non-destructive evaluation on crack repairing performance in concrete. Concrete specimens with different crack depths and identical compositions were prepared for surface wave transmission experiments. Cracked concrete specimens were perfectly repaired through epoxy injections, and recovery of transmission coefficients and spectral energy were confirmed in process of crack repairing. Additionally, the effectiveness and feasibility of spectral energy based assessment techniques for the evaluation of crack in concrete is also investigated.
