PURPOSES: This study evaluated the effect of fog seal treatment utilizing an agricultural oil-based asphalt concrete sealant (ABCS) on the long-term performance of an asphalt pavement. METHODS: Fog seal treatment using ABCS was applied on 800 m of the pavement section in the test section with a total length of 2,400 m; the remaining pavement section was not considered for this treatment. A series of laboratory and field tests were conducted on both sections, including a Marshall stability test, penetration test, viscosity test, skid resistance test, and pavement surface macrotexture test. In addition, the pavement condition index (PCI) was determined 8 years after the ABCS application to evaluate the effect of the ABCS treatment on the pavement’s long-term performance. RESULTS : The ABCS-treated section exhibited a PCI of 75, whereas the non-treated section exhibited a value of 64. Furthermore, a MicroPAVERTM‚ pavement management system determined that the pavement deterioration rates (i.e., drops in PCI) were 3.6 and 5.1 per year for the ABCS-treated and non-treated sections, respectively. CONCLUSIONS : The results of the series of laboratory and field tests revealed that the ABCS treatment increased the pavement performance life by approximately 3.5 years.

PURPOSES:The objectives of this study are to develop a new cold-applied crack sealant and to evaluate its properties and field applicability by comparing with other conventionally used crack sealants.METHODS :A new cold-applied crack sealant was developed by using neoprene latex to improve material properties. The fundamental properties such as viscosity, residue %, penetration, and softening point of the developed crack sealant were tested by TxDOT criteria to evaluate crack sealing capability. Moreover, the performance of the developed cold-applied crack sealant was evaluated under both laboratory and field conditions. In the laboratory, the bond property was evaluated using the developed cold-applied crack sealant and conventional hotapplied crack sealant by the bond-properties test standardized under ASTM D 6690. In the field, test sections were constructed on three areas: a trunk road, bus-only lane, and motorway, with the developed crack sealant and three conventional crack sealants. After construction, early field-inspection was performed on the test sections.RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS :Overall, the developed cold-applied crack sealant demonstrates reasonable storage stability, durability, and bond property compared to conventional hot-applied crack sealants. From the test sections, it was established that the developed cold-applied crack sealant does not pose construction issues. Moreover, the early performance was verified through field inspection. However, as the field inspection was conducted a week after the construction, it is necessary to conduct an inspection of performance from a long-term point of view.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to select the proper sealing method and to see the performance of the saw and seal method for concrete rehabilitation based on accelerated pavement testings and lab tests. METHODS : Two accelerated pavement testings were conducted. One is to select proper sealing method of the asphalt joints and the other is to see the performance of the saw and seal method. Lab tests were conducted to select proper sealing method and a test section was constructed to see the field performance. RESULTS : The result of the first accelerated pavement testing indicated that the adhesive preformed sealants showed good performance when asphalt layer was rutted and in terms preventing from water infiltration. The second acceleration test indicated that the saw and seal method using the adhesive preformed sealant showed much better performance than the control. In the lab test bitumen, rubber and epoxy showed good performance as the adhesive. CONCLUSIONS : Saw and Seal method using the adhesive preformed sealant would markedly reduce the joint damage on the asphalt overlay.

콘크리트 도로에서 줄눈의 역할은 계절적 온도변화에 따라 콘크리트 슬래브의 수축과 팽창 시 적절한 공간을 확보하여 파손과 균열을 보호하는 역할을 하게 된다. 이때 줄눈 부위를 줄눈재로 채워 넣어 이물질이 침투하여 슬래브의 움직임을 방해하거나 파손시키는 것으로부터 보호하는 역할과 강우나 강설 등에 의한 수분이 포장 내부로 침투하여 동결융해에 의한 내부균열 방지 및 다웰바 등을 부식시키는 것을 막는 역할을 수행하여 도로의 공용성을 향상시키는 역할을 하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 도로 줄눈에서 시공된지 2년 경과한 시료를 채취하여 열화를 겪지 않은 초기시료와의 물리적 강도, 내후성, 제설제 저항성 등으로 평가하였으며 실리콘 소재 대비 내후성과 접착성에 큰 차이가 발생하는 것을 확인하였다.

Conductive pastes consist of conductive fillers( Au, Ag, Ni, Cu etc.), organic binders, solvents and additives. Meanwhile, there are some metal powders such as copper, nickel etc that are used for pastes which have serious surface corrosion problems. This problem leads to change of the color and decrease in conductivity and affect storage stability of conductive pastes. By using silane coupling agent and dispersion agent, we can ensure both the corrosion stability and long term storage stability, and enhance the high performance electrical and mechanical properties of EMI shielding silicone sealant.

In many climatic conditions, there is UV ray, which is called ultraviolet rays, which has the greatest effect on sealing materials. Because UV has high energy, it changes the internal structure of polymer and causes quality deterioration. In addition, temperature, humidity, and rainfall, snowfall, and atmospheric pollutants are also factors to be avoided in maintaining the integrity of the sealant. In this study, we tried to obtain reproducibility by using a composite deterioration test device which can describe the environment of the outside air as a part of the research project to investigate the weather change in the prototype of the structural sealant. The outdoor exposure test result and the composite deterioration test device Correlation analysis. In the future, it will be possible to predict the changes in the physical properties of the structural sealant by applying the composite deterioration test equipment and outdoor exposure test data.

본 최근 건축물 외벽공사에 커튼월 공법의 사용이 증가하고 있다. 외벽 커튼월 공법은 공기단축 및 경제적 효용이 크다는 장점으로 인해 건물의 외벽으로도 널리 시공되고 있다. 그러나, 커튼월 공법의 프레임과 유리를 연결해 주는 구조용 실란트에 대한 내후성 및 구조물의 거동에 대한 열화를 대체한 시험은 KS F 4910 규격에는 부재한 실정으로 안정적인 커튼월 공법 도입과 품질향상을 위해서는 필요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 외기환경하에서 거동에 대한 탄성복원력시험을 실시하였다. 구조용 실란트를 대상으로 열에 대한 실링재의 열화를 평가하였다. 국내에서는 구조용 실란트의 가변형 변위거동에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정으로 본 연구에서는 외기 환경에 노출된 열화조건을 대체하여 실 험실 조건에서 재현한 결과를 확인하고, 설계에 반영하고자 한다. 본 연구 결과에 따르면, 기존의 구조용 실링재는 KS F 4910의 품질기준은 만 족하지만, 본 연구에서 실시한 조건에서는 시험체의 파단과 표면의 균열 등이 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 특히, 내후성 시험에서는 시험체 모두 불용의 상태를 확인하여 향후, 커튼월 공법에 사용되는 구조용 실링재의 장기적인 내구성능 평가가 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 기존의 구조용 실링재가 현장에 적용되기 위해서는 별도의 내구성능 평가를 실시가 요구된다.

According to the results of case studies on leakage in large scale aquarium structures, the causes have been identified as construction failure of sealant for joint of sealant design failure in acryilic panel and concrete substrate joints. However, as there currently are no standardized design or specifications for such principles, this study proposes a design formulation of a width and depth of sealant when applied to acrylic panels in large scale aquarium structures.
