PURPOSES : Recently, interest in maintaining aged concrete pavements has been increasing. An asphalt overlay is generally used for pavement maintenance, and a tack coat is used to secure interlayer adhesion. Particularly, aged concrete pavements are required for higher adhesion performance of tack coats for attaching interlayers to materials with different properties. Insufficient interlayer adhesion could cause pavement damage, such as slippage, rutting, shoving, corrugation, and pothole. In this study, we examined the performance of interface adhesion by applying a tack coat material developed for maintaining aged concrete pavement. METHODS : In this study, we examined the effect of adhesion performance at the pavement interface, using a tack coat material developed for the maintenance of aged concrete pavement. RESULTS : The developed tack coat not only accomplished the performance objectives but also improved the results by more than 12 to 43%, compared to commonly used materials. CONCLUSIONS : The use of developed tack coat is expected to improve the interlayer adhesion and reduce the delay of the maintenance process in aged concrete pavement.

PURPOSES : So far, aged cement concrete pavement on express highways has been rehabilitated mainly with asphalt concrete inlay. However, potholes were the major problem, and they shortened the life of the inlay mainly owing to the poor drainage of water once it infiltrated the interface of the concrete and asphalt. The purpose of this study is to compare the performance and economic efficiency of asphalt overlay and inlayMETHODS: Overlay and inlay were compared through accelerated pavement testing, and a life-cycle cost analysis was conducted in this study using the CA4PRS program.RESULTS and CONCLUSIONS : It was found from accelerated pavement testing that the overlay exhibited reflective crack resistance that was more than twice as effective as that of inlay. The total cost (construction cost + user cost) within the analysis period (20 years) of the overlay was 37% lower than that of the inlay.

PURPOSES: Concrete pavement has been used in the construction of the Jungbu expressway in 1987. More than 60% of the pavement on the expressway is currently made of concrete, but most has been used far beyond their design life. Pavement life has been extended through routine maintenance or overlay. However, the structural capacity of the pavement has reached its limit, and extensive rehabilitation/reconstruction with long time traffic blocking should be considered. The three following issues on concrete rehabilitation/reconstruction will be discussed: (1) economic comparison of asphalt inlay and asphalt overlay, (2) economic comparison preventive overlay on a section which is currently good and routine overlay on the section which will be poor, and (3) economic analysis of early-strength concrete when it is used in concrete reconstruction. METHODS: First, various life cycle cost analysis tools were compared, and the proper tool for the extensive rehabilitation/reconstruction was selected. Second, a sensitivity analysis of the selected tool was performed to find the influential input variables, which should be carefully selected in the analysis. Third, three case studies, which can be issues in the rehabilitation/reconstruction of the expressway concrete pavement in Korea, were performed. RESULTS: Asphalt overlay without milling the deteriorated concrete showed 18~25% lower life cycle cost than the current asphalt inlay with milling. The good current preventive overlay on the section was economically justified within the scope of this study. The construction cost limit of the early strength concrete was suggested to be economical for 1, 3, and 7 days of construction alternative opening. CONCLUSIONS: CA4PRS was a viable tool for comparing various rehabilitation/reconstruction issue alternatives. Several concrete issues associated with the rehabilitation/reconstruction of the deteriorated concrete pavement were discussed as mentioned above.

PURPOSES : The PMS(Pavement Management System) has been utilized in order to efficiently allocate the limited budget for the maintenance of national highway system. In the PMS of national highway, surface pavement condition is evaluated by using the VI (Visual Index). However, the VI is determined only by considering the cracking rate (%) and rut depth (mm), which is not reflecting the IRI (International Roughness Index) that is known as an important factor of pavement performance. In this study, the NHPCI (National Highway Pavement Condition Index) which includes the cracking rate (%), rut depth (mm), and IRI (m/km) is suggested for determining the rehabilitation methods group. METHODS : First, the rehabilitation methods performed between 2008 and 2010 on the national highway is classified and then, NHPCI is determined for each rehabilitation method. Next, the NHPCI for each rehabilitation method is grouped through the interval estimation of the population mean and T-test analysis. RESULTS : According to NHPCI range, the rehabilitation methods are divided into four categories: Not Required, Preventive Maintenance, Overlay Treatment (with or without cutting), and Full-scale Treatment (i.e., reconstruction). CONCLUSIONS : Based on this study, it is recommended that the appropriate NHPCI range should be determined through the combination of the rehabilitation categories and Decision Procedure of Pavement Distress Condition Visual Index.

본 연구는 조립식 콘크리트 포장 공법을 이용한 급속 도로 포장 보수 방법의 적용성을 분석하기 위하여 시험시공을 수행하고, 슬래브 접합 방식의 효과를 분석하기 위해 수행되었다. 시험시공은 줄눈콘크리트포장의 4개 슬래브를 교체하는 것으로 하였다. 시험시공을 위해 프리캐스트 슬래브를 설계하고 제작한 후, 기존 슬래브를 커팅하여 제거한 후 이 곳에 제작한 슬래브를 안착시켰다. 그 후 평탄성을 조절한 후 포켓 및 홀 부분과 슬래브 하부의 공간을 그라우팅 함으로써 시공을 신속 용이하게 수행할 수 있었다. 시험 시공을 수행하며 보수용 프리캐스트 포장의 설계 및 시공과 관련된 세부 사항을 면밀히 분석하였다. 또한 슬래브 간의 연결을 위한 방식으로 포켓과 홀 접합 방식을 모두 적용해 보았으며 실험을 통해 두 접합 방식에서의 슬래브의 컬링 거동을 비교하였다. 연구 결과 두 방식 모두 적용성이 우수했으나, 홀 접합 방식이 보다 적절한 것으로 파악되었다.

콘크리트 구조물은 시간 경과에 따라 화학적인 물질에 노출되거나, 염해, 중성화 등으로 인하여 콘크리트표면 결손 등이 발생하고 이에 따라 수명이 단축되는 현상이 발생할 수 있다. 특히 황산염 침식의 경우 표면 결손이 급격하게 발생하고 이에 따른 수분의 침투에 의하여 보강 재료로 사용되는 철근의 부식이 발생함에 따라 구조적으로 안정성이 하락하는 특성을 보이고 있다. 본 연구는 시멘트계 보수재의 가장 큰 단점중의 하나인 내산성의 문제점을 해결하기위하여 알루미노실리게이트를 적용한 내산모르타르에 관한 물리적 특성을 시험을 통하여 연구하였으며 시험결과 압축강도 및 휨강도의 경우 동등한 강도를 발현하였으며, 황산용액에 침지하여 중량변화를 관찰한 내산성의 경우 시멘트계 단면복구재가 80% 이상의 중량 변화를 나타내는 반면 시험시료의 경우에는 4% 정도의 중량결손이 발생하여 내산성에 효과적인 특성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 알루미노실리케이트류를 첨가한 내산 모르타르의 특성이 우수한 것으로 나타나 산에 의한 침식 등이 우려되는 곳에 단면복용재료로서 효과적인 특성을 발휘할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
