In wastewater treatment, an emulsion polymer automatic dissolving system is used to mix and dissolve the polymer used as a polymer coagulant with water before it is put into the dissolution tank. In this study, a disperser is developed to mix water and emulsion polymer better in the dissolving system. For this purpose, the flow analysis of the three disperser models was performed to select the disperser for the emulsion polymer automatic dissolving system with the best performance. The excellence of mixing was evaluated by grasping the flow uniformity and the vorticit in the disperser, and it was confirmed that the TYPE3 disperser was excellent.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this study was to develop an urgent road-repair system and perform a field applicability test, as well as discover the optimum mix design for machine applications compared to the optimum mix design for lab applications. METHODS: According to reviews of the patent and developed equipment, self-propelled and mix-in-place equipment types are suitable for urgent pavement repair, e.g., potholes and cracks. The machine-application mix design was revised based on the optimum lab-test mix design, and the field application of a spray-injection system was performed on the job site. The mixture from the machine application and lab application was subjected to a wet-track abrasion test and a wheel-tracking test to calibrate the machine application. RESULTS and CONCLUSIONS : This study showed that the binder content could differ for the lab application and the machine application in the same setting. Based on the wet-track abrasion test result, the binder contents of the machine application exceeded the binder contents of the lab application by 1-1.5% on the same setting value. Moreover, the maximum dynamic stability value for the machine application showed 1% lower binder contents than the maximum lab-application value. Collectively, the results of the two different tests showed that the different sizes and operating methods of the machine and lab applications could affect the mix designs. Further studies will be performed to verify the bonding strength and monitor the field application.

PURPOSES :The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum mix design of the content of 100 % reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) for spray injection application with different binder types.METHODS:Literature review revealed that spray injection method is the one of the efficient and economical methods for repairing a small defective area on an asphalt pavement. The Rapid-Setting Polymer modified asphalt mixtures using two types of rapid setting polymers-asphalt emulsion and a quick setting polymer asphalt emulsion-were subjected to the following tests to determine optimum mix designs and for performance comparison: 1) Marshall stability test, 2) Retained stability test, 3) Wet track abrasion test, and 4) Dynamic stability test.RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS :Type A, B, and C emulsions were tested with different mix designs using RAP aggregates, to compare the performances and determine the optimum mix design. Performance of mixtures with Type A emulsion exceeded that of mixtures with Type B and C emulsion in all aspects. In particular, Type A binder demonstrated the highest performance for WTAT at low temperature. It demonstrated the practicality of using Type A mixture during the cold season. Furthers studies are to be performed to verify the optimum mix design for machine application. Differences in optimum mix designs for machine application and lab application will be corrected through field tests.

PURPOSES: The objective of this study was to determine the optimum ratio of mix design, for a reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) content of 100%, for spray injection application. METHODS: A literature review revealed that spray injection is an efficient and cost-effective application for fixing small defective regions of an asphalt pavement. Rapid-setting polymer-modified asphalt mixtures prepared from two types of rapid-setting polymer asphalt emulsion were subjected to Marshall stability and wet track abrasion tests, in order to identify the optimum mix designs. RESULTS and CONCLUSIONS : Different mix designs of type A and type B emulsions were prepared using RAP and virgin aggregates, in order to compare the performance and determine the optimum mix design. The performance of mixtures prepared with RAP was superior to that of mixtures containing virgin aggregates. Moreover, for optimum ratio of the design, the binder content prepared from RAP was set to 1~2% lower than that consisting of virgin aggregates. Compared to their Type A counterparts, type B mixtures consisting of a reactive emulsion performed better in the Marshall stability and wet track abrasion tests. The initial results confirmed the advantages associated with using RAP for spray injection applications. Further studies will be performed to verify the difference in the optimum mix design and performance obtained in the lab-scale test and tests conducted at the job site by using the spray injection machine.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of rapid-setting polymer-modified asphalt mixtures with a high reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) content. METHODS: A literature review revealed that emulsified asphalt is actively used for cold-recycled pavement. First, two types of rapid-setting polymer-modified asphalt emulsion were prepared for application to high-RAP material with no virgin material content. The quick-setting polymer-modified asphalt mixtures using two types of rapid-setting polymer-modified asphalt emulsion were subjected to the following tests: 1) Marshall stability test, 2) water immersion stability test and 3) indirect tensile strength ratio test. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS : Additional re-calibration of the RAP was needed for laboratory verification because the results of analyzing RAP aggregates, which were collected from different job sites, did not deviate from the normal range. The Marshall stability of each type of binder under dry conditions was good. However, the Type B mixtures with bio-additives performed better in the water immersion stability test. Moreover, the overall results of the indirect tensile strength test of RAP mixtures with Type B emulsions exceeded 0.7. Further research, consisting of lab testing and on-site application, will be performed to verify the possibility of using RAP for minimizing the closing of roadways.

이산화탄소 농도가 높은 도심지의 경우 탄산화로 인한 철근부식이 발생하기 쉬우며 이는 콘크리트 구조물의 내구수명을 감소시킨다. 콘크리트 구조물의 경우 다양한 구속조건을 가지며 항상 외부의 재하하중을 받고 있다. 도입된 응력수준은 이산화탄소와 같은 유해인자의 확산을 변화시키며 탄산화 깊이의 변동성을 야기한다. 본 연구에서는 응력재하수준에 따른 탄산화 변동성을 정량화하였으며, 이를 이용하여 탄산화 예측식을 도출하였다. 내구성 설계인자인 피복두께, 이산화탄소 확산계수, 탄산화 반응 수화물, 그리고 외부 이산화탄소 농도를 확률 변수로 정의하였으며, MCS을 통하여 영향인자의 변동성에 따른 내구수명을 도출하였다. 또한 응력수준에 따라 변화하는 내구수명을 도출하였으며, 이를 결정론적인 방법의 결과와 비교하였다. 피복두께 및 내부 수화물 생성이 내구수명 변동성에 가장 큰 영향을 미쳤으며, 응력수준 을 고려한 내구수명평가는 유지관리 우선순위 설정에 합리적으로 적용할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 유황폴리머에멀젼 (SPE)을 반강성 포장용 주입재의 아크릴레이트 대체재로서 활용가능성과 성능향상재료 (PVA섬유)에 대한 역학적 성능과 내구성능을 평가하였다. 평가결과, 반강성 포장재의 충전률은 섬유의 혼입률이 증가함에 따라 충전률이 저하되었지만,모든 배합조건에서 평균 92~94%로 측정되어 목표 성능인 90%를 만족하였다. 반강성 포장재의 마샬안정도 값은 최대 25.4kN으로 측정되어 반강성 포장재의 국내 기준인 5.0 kN 보다 약 4.7배 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 반강성 포장재의 동적안정도 평가결과, 휠 트래킹시험에 따른 변형저항성은 SPE를 대체한 배합조건이 보다 우수하였고, 모든 배합조건에서 45분 이후에는 변형량이 일정한 값에 수렴되어 동적안정도가 31,500회/mm로 동일한 결과를 나타내었다. 파단변형률은 최대 0.53% 정도로 나타나 아스팔트 포장재보다 우수한 강성으로 나타났다. 마모저항성 및 충격저항성 검토결과 모든 배합조건에서 손실률이 9.8~6.0%로 나타나 우수한 내마모성을 나타내었으며, 섬유를 0.3% 혼입한 경우 혼입하지 않은 Plain에 비하여 2.82배의 내충격성 향상을 나타내었다. 역학적성능 및 내구성능 등을 모두 고려하여 볼 때, 이연구 범위에서는 SPE 대체율 30%가 적정 수준이고, 혼입률 0.3% 범위에서 PVA 섬유를 적용하면 우수한 인성을 갖는 반강성 포장재 제조가 가능 할 것으로 판단된다.

the desulphurization process. To exploit this abundance, the applications of sulphur must be expanded. as excellent durability of reuse of leftover sulphur which has high potential for utilization in construction materials, the study is actively in progress. Meanwhile, there has been active research on semi-rigid pavements that draw on the strengths and overcome the weaknesses of asphalt and concrete pavements. Acrylate is used to prevent cracking but involves a high cost, thus, an alternative material is required. As such, this study presents methods on the reuse of leftover sulphur and examines the engineering performance of grout containing sulfur polymer emulsion (SPE) for use in semi-rigid pavements. Our analysis shows that grout in which 30% of acrylate is replaced with SPE has superior properties in terms of time of flow and strength compared to regular grout. However, performance declined when more than 50% of acrylate was replaced by SPE, indicating that the optimum replacement level is 30%. Through SEM analysis, we found that grout with utra harding cement in this study at three hours had similar hydration properties to that of Type 1 Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) at seven days, and maintained the properties regardless of grout containing SPE. OPC and grout with a replacement level of 30% displayed similar levels of chloride invasion resistance, whereas grout without SPE was far less resistant. Within the scope of this paper, the optimum replacement level of acrylate with SPE was found to be 30% in consideration of various properties such as time of flow, strength, and chloride invasion resistance.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the flexural property of semi-rigid pavement which is poured sulfur polymer emulsion into permeable open graded asphalt secured 15∼20 percentage ranges of porosity.
