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 : Fine dust significantly affects the atmospheric environment, and various measures have been implement to reduce it. The aim of this study is to reduce fine dust on roads by implementing porous pavements and a clean road system using the low-impact development technique. METHODS : We conducted quality tests (draindown, cantabro loss rate, tensile strength ratio, dynamic stability, and indoor permeability coefficient tests) and performance evaluation (dynamic modulus and Hamburg wheel-tracking tests) on the porous asphalt mixture. Subsequently, we constructed a porous pavement road in a test bed and conducted a permeability test. In the test bed, we installed a nozzle, a water tank, and a fluid pump to water the roadside. After the clean road system was completely installed, we measured the concentration of fine dust before and after water was sprayed. Additionally, we conducted a total suspended solids (TSS) test to confirm the reduction in re-suspended dust. RESULTS : All results from the quality test of the porous asphalt mixture satisfy the standards stipulated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. Results from the dynamic modulus test show a low plastic deformation resistance but a high fatigue crack resistance. The results from the Hamburg wheel-tracking test satisfy the U.S. Department of Transportation standards. After the porous pavement was constructed, a permeability test was conducted, and the result satisfies the standard value. Using a particle counter, we measured the concentration of fine dust before and after water spraying, and results show 12.08% and 10.23% for PM10 and PM2.5 particles, respectively. The results from the TSS test show that after the initial water spray, almost all re-suspended dust are removed from a road. In unfavorable road conditions, almost all re-suspended dust are removed after a second water spray. CONCLUSIONS : The results of all of quality tests performed on a porous asphalt mixture satisfy the standards. By applying the results to a test bed, the problem of securing water is solved. Using the clean road system, 12.08% and 10.23% of PM10 and PM2.5 particles are removed, respectively. The system removes PM10 particles (larger particles) more effectively compared with PM2.5 particles. IN the future, we plan to revise the maintenance plan such that the porous pavement can exhibit long-term performance. Because pipe freezing may occur in the winter, we plan to analyze the periodic maintenance plan of the porous pavement and develop a solution to mitigate the issue of freezing pipes in the winter.

PURPOSES : This study aims to reduce the urban heat island phenomenon via utilization of porous asphalt pavements. METHODS : One of the many known functions of porous asphalt is that it reduces the urban heat island phenomenon. Indoor experiments were conducted to compare the surface temperature of sprinkled dense-graded and porous asphalt and outdoor experiments were conducted to verify the difference between the two asphalt pavements under external conditions. RESULTS : The results of the indoor experiment demonstrated that the temperatures of the two pavements were similar and that the porous asphalt pavement exhibited low temperature when sprinkled; the temperature of the porous asphalt was approximately 2 °C lower than that of the dense-graded asphalt pavement. The results of the outdoor experiment showed that the peak temperatures of the two pavements were approximately the same as usual. However, it was confirmed that the surface temperature of the porous asphalt pavement at night after sunset was lower than that of the dense-graded asphalt pavement and that the peak temperature dropped for approximately 1~2 days after the rainfall.. CONCLUSIONS : Porous asphalt pavement has a lower surface temperature than normal dense-graded asphalt pavement, under the presence of moisture in the pavement. In addition, it was confirmed that the lower surface temperature of the porous asphalt pavement is due to the low heat emission of the pavement at night. Accordingly, it is believed that the application of the porous asphalt pavement will not only have known effects but also significant impacts on the reduction of urban heat island phenomena.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to address various problems, such as an increase in material cost and premature failure (e.g., cracks and potholes) of porous pavements, and to develop multifunctional asphalt and asphalt mixtures to ensure the long-term commonality of porous asphalt pavements. METHODS : A basic quality test of two types of porous asphalt mixtures was performed. One type consisted of the existing porous asphalt mixture, using domestically presented grading, and the other a porous asphalt mixture using high-viscosity modified asphalt with enhanced low-temperature properties, aimed at improving strain resistance and developed by applying the grading suggested by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). RESULTS : The cantabros loss rate was 19.62 % for conventional modified asphalt (PG 82-22) and 5.95 % for the developed highviscosity modified asphalt (PG 88-28), indicating that both mixtures passed the criteria. Regarding the drain-down loss rate, mixtures using both types of asphalt were found to pass all quality standards. The average permeability coefficients for each porous asphalt mixture were 0.023 and 0.018 and both types of porous asphalt mixtures satisfied the quality standard of 0.01 cm/s, as given by the Asphalt Concrete Pavement Guidelines of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport. CONCLUSIONS : As a result of the mix design of the two porous asphalt mixtures, the mixture developed in this study was found to be superior to the conventional porous asphalt mixture using conventional porous asphalt grading and modified asphalt.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to estimate the reduction in traffic noise in a double-layered specific porous pavement at roadsides based on variations in traffic volume and driving speed. METHODS : A statistical pass-by (SPB) method was employed in this study to measure noise. Variations in the following parameters were measured: running speed, heavy traffic percentage, and traffic volume. RESULTS : Quantitative analysis revealed that the double-layered porous pavement reduced noise levels by 9.16 dB(A) at a 95% confidence level at the sides of roads. CONCLUSIONS : As a countermeasure of traffic noise, porous pavement has been recommended. This research quantitatively proved that double-layered porous pavement can reduce traffic noise by more than 9.0 dB(A) at roadsides

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to estimate the reduction of traffic noise in a double-layered specific porous pavement based on the traffic speed variation. METHODS : The close-proximity method was used in noise measurement, and the running speed was measured at 10 km/h and from 50 to 80 km/h. RESULTS : From the quantitative analysis, it was found that the double-layered porous pavement reduced by 9.4 dB (A) on the average and 9.16 dB (A) at a 95% confidence level. CONCLUSIONS : The use of porous pavements have been recommended to minimize traffic noise. In this study, it is quantitatively demonstrated that the double-layered porous pavement can reduce the traffic noise by more than 9.0 dB(A).

PURPOSES: The permeable pavement type has been rapidly developed for solving problems regarding traffic noise in the area of housing complex and heavy rainwater drainage in order to account for the climate change. In this regards, the objective of this study is to figure out the characteristics of pavement types. METHODS: The laboratory test for deriving optimum asphalt content (OAC) was conducted using the mixtures of the permeable asphalt surface for the pavement surface from Marshall compaction method. Based on its results, the pavement construction at the test field was conducted. After that, the site performance tests for measuring the traffic noise, strength and permeability were carried out for the relative evaluation in 2 months after the traffic opening. The specific site tests are noble close proximity method (NCPX), Light falling deflectometer test (LFWD) and the compact permeability test. RESULTS : The ordered highest values of the traffic noise level can be found such as normal dense graded asphalt, drainage and porous structure types. In the results from LFWD, the strength values of the porous and drainage asphalt types had been lower, but the strength of normal asphalt structure had relatively stayed high. CONCLUSIONS: The porous structure has been shown to perform significantly better in permeability and noise reduction than others. In addition to this study, the evaluation of the properties and the determination of the optimum thickness for the subgrade course under the porous pavement will be conducted using ground investigation technique in the further research.

In order to improve the durability of the asphalt pavement, the glass fiber reinforced asphalt which reinforces the aggregate and the binder in three - dimensional form by adding glass fiber to the asphalt mixture has been studied and the durability improvement effect of the asphalt pavement has been confirmed. Porous pavement has been increasingly applied due to reduced traffic accidents and noise reduction, but durability problems such as aggregate stripping and pot-hole are emerging. This study evaluated the durability enhancement effect by adding glass fiber to the porous mixture. The cantabro loss ratio and the indirect tensile strength test were performed to evaluate the performance of the glass fiber reinforced porous mixture. The glass fibers were added to the mixture using PG76-22 and PG64-22 binder and not to the mixture using PG82-22 binder. The mixture using the PG76-22 binder was added 1.4% (PEGS 0.6%, Micro PPGF 0.2%, Macro PPGF 0.6%) glass fiber based on the weight of the mixture. The mixture using the PG64-22 binder was added 1.4% (PEGS 0.6%, Micro PPGF 0.2%, Macro PPGF 0.6%) and 2.1% %(PEGS 0.9%, Micro PPGF 0.3%, Macro PPGF 0.9%)glass fibers by weight of the mixture. The glass fibers were used at the same ratio as that applied to the conventional asphalt mixture test. As a result of the cantabro loss rate test, the mixture using the PG82-22 binder showed a loss rate of 10.7% at 20 ℃ and 22.4% at -20 ℃. The mixture using PG76-22 binder and 1.4% glass fiber showed a loss ratio of 13.2% at 20 ℃ and 26.7% at -20 ℃. The mixture using PG64-22 binder and 1.4% glass fiber showed a loss rate of 12.5% at 20 ℃ and 35.9% at -20 ℃. The mixture using PG64-22 binder and 2.1% glass fiber showed a loss rate of 11.9% at 20 ℃ and 26.6% at -20 ℃. The three mixtures (using of PG82-22 binder, PG76-22 binder + 1.4% glass fiber and PG64-22 binder + 2.1% glass fiber) satisfied quality standard of Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. As a result of the indirect tensile strength test, the mixture using the PG82-22 binder showed 0.73 N/㎟. The mixture using PG76-22 binder and 1.4% glass fiber showed 0.88 N/㎟. The mixture using PG64-22 binder and 1.4% glass fiber showed 0.62 N/㎟. The mixture using PG64-22 binder and 2.1% glass fiber showed 0.74 N/㎟. In this study, the durability enhancement effect was confirmed by adding glass fiber to the drainage mixture. We will do further research to confirm the optimal combination of glass fibers.

The current construction and maintenance guidelines applied to airport pavement in Korea are those of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the International Air Transport Association (IATA), and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In order to consider local conditions of airports in Korea, more specific details should be addressed in those guidelines. For example, the design and construction for pavements at airports in Korea follow the specifications of materials for general roads or foreign airport pavement guidelines, as there is no design manual or guideline for the granular base and subbase materials for airport pavement in Korea. In such circumstances, the likelihood of premature failure or accelerated damage increases, as the loading from airplanes is not fully taken into account or the local environmental characteristics are not considered. In addition, concerns in public facility drainage systems have been rising recently in line with the increase in the frequency and scale, caused by the global abnormal-temperature phenomenon, of localized torrential rain and snow. For airport runways, measures to maintain swift drainage systems are especially necessary to ensure safety and prevent flight delays. In this study, the appropriate moisture content and pavement method are analyzed by applying porous concrete developed for a cement-treated base course for securing permeability of airport pavement at an actual construction site. In addition, on-site construction testing was performed to determine the appropriate compaction method and the curing method to minimize cracking by using a compaction facility. To determine the optimal moisture content, a quality-control was performed by measuring the moisture content of porous concrete produced at a batch plant. For this purpose, a speed moisture test (ASTM D 4944) was performed on site because the unit-water content of the porous concrete affects its compaction and finishing. Before compaction, a grader was used to remove fragments on the subbase and then a tandem roller was used to level and compact. After compaction, the porous cement-treated base course, called porous concrete, was placed using an asphalt finisher. The mechanical properties and durability of the porous cement-treated base course with a variation of a degree of compaction: noncompaction, tandem roller moved back and forth once, three times, and five times. The pavement was covered with vinyl according to the curing guidelines suggested by the Korea Expressway Corporation’s highway construction specifications, to prevent evaporation from porous concrete that has relatively low moisture content. After curing, the core was collected to analyze the compressive strength, permeability coefficient, porosity, and freeze–thaw resistance characteristics.

PURPOSES : In this study, noise reduction effect of a two-layer porous asphalt pavement was investigated through site measurement and computer simulation. METHODS: To examine noise reduction effect, a 3 km long quiet pavement was installed by removing previous normal pavement, which had a rather low porosity. The studied site was a high-rise apartment building surrounded by the quiet pavement and Seoul ring road with heavy traffic volume, indicating relatively high background noise. RESULTS: The measurement result before and after installing the quiet pavement showed a noise reduction effect of 4.3 dB(A) at a distance of 7.5 m from the road. After validating the accuracy of simulation using SoundPLAN, the reduction in SPL(sound pressure level) at the facades by the quiet pavement was predicted by considering five different road conditions generating traffic noise from each road or in the combination of the quiet pavement and Seoul ring road. In the case of no noise from Seoul ring road, noise reduction at the facades was 4.2 dB(A) on average for 702 housing units. With background noise from Seoul ring road, however, the average SPL decreased to 2.0 dB(A). Regarding subjective response of noise, the number of housing units with a noise reduction of over 3 dB(A) was 229 out of 706 units (approximately 32%). For 77 housing units, the noise reduction was between 1~3 dB(A), while it was less than 1 dB(A) for 400 housing units. CONCLUSIONS: The overall result indicates that the quiet pavement is useful to reduce noise evenly at low and high floors compared to noise barriers, especially in the urban situation where background noise is low.

PURPOSES : A finite difference model considering snow melting process on porous asphalt pavement was derived on the basis of heat transfer and mass transfer theories. The derived model can be applied to predict the region where black-ice develops, as well as to predict temperature profile of pavement systems where a de-icing system is installed. In addition, the model can be used to determined the minimum energy required to melt the ice formed on the pavement. METHODS : The snow on the porous asphalt pavement, whose porosity must be considered in thermal analysis, is divided into several layers such as dry snow layer, saturated snow layer, water+pavement surface, pavement surface, and sublayer. The mass balance and heat balance equations are derived to describe conductive, convective, radiative, and latent transfer of heat and mass in each layer. The finite differential method is used to implement the derived equations, boundary conditions, and the testing method to determine the thermal properties are suggested for each layer. RESULTS: The finite differential equations that describe the icing and deicing on pavements are derived, and we have presented them in our work. The framework to develop a temperature-forecasting model is successfully created. CONCLUSIONS : We conclude by successfully creating framework for the finite difference model based on the heat and mass transfer theories. To complete implementation, laboratory tests required to be performed.

PURPOSES : This study is to construct the regression models of drainage asphalt concrete specimens and to provide the appropriate coefficients of hydraulic conductivity prediction models. METHODS: In terms of easy calculation of the hydraulic conductivity from porosity of asphalt concrete pavement, the estimation model of hydraulic conductivity was proposed using regression analysis. 10 specimens of drainage asphalt concrete pavement were made for measurement of the hydraulic conductivity. Hydraulic conductivity model proposed in this study was calculated by empirical model based on porosity and the grain size. In this study, it shows the compared results from permeability measured test and empirical equation, and the suitability of proposed model, using regression analysis. RESULTS: As the result of the regression analysis, the hydraulic conductivity calculated from the proposal model was similar to that resulted from permeability measured test. Also result of RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) analysis, a proposed regression model is resulted in more accurate model. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed model can be used in case of estimating the hydraulic conductivity at drainage asphalt concrete pavements in fields.
