Asphalt pavement overlay method is one of widely chosen construction methods for remodelling existing aged concrete pavement layer. However, in this case reflective cracking is a challenging issue due to movement of transverse joints: built in existing concrete pavement layer with constant interval length. In this paper, collecting field data: collection of displacement and temperature data on existing concrete pavement layer for further complicated pavement performance analysis, was performed. To fulfil this objective, various types of thermometer were embedded into concrete layer with different depth level. Then, movement of existing concrete layer was measured numerically. Each Displacement Measuring Gauge (DMG) along with thermometer was embedded with depth of 3cm and 15cm, respectively. Additional thermometers were embedded at the middle depth of overlaid asphalt pavement layer for further extensive analysis and data collection. Total four testing sites were considered based on different asphalt mixture type and construction method. The 1st site was constructed with conventional construction approach, the 2nd site was constructed with a new pavement equipment contains simultaneous tack-coating function, the 3rd site was similar to 1st site but Guss-asphalt was constructed as a binder course, and in 4th site Noise-Reduction Porous Asphalt (NRPA) was constructed as a surface course and regular Dense Grade Asphalt (DGA) was constructed as a binder course. A field asphalt pavement layer sample coring works: along with basic material property tests, were also performed to acquire not only overlaid asphalt but also existing concrete pavement materials. This gauge measuring work in this study is an initial step therefore, long-term movement data of each pavement layer was not able to be collected, unfortunately. However through collecting and analysing initial data on each test site, two crucial findings were acquired. First, in all four tested site highest temperature variations were observed at the upper asphalt pavement layer and the variation trends decreased with increase of pavement depth (in case of concrete pavement layer, temperature and movement variations also decreased with increase of pavement depth). Secondly, when Guss-asphalt was applied as a binder course temperature variations of existing concrete pavement layer was crucially smaller than those of other comparison cases. These current findings and collected data set can provide successful input information for further pavement structure analysis such as 2D (and/or 3D) Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis as a future study.
현재 도로분야에서 콘크리트 포장의 양적증가와 공용연수 증가로 콘크리트 포장의 손상에 따른 유지보수문제가 크게 부각되기 시작했다. 국내에서 적용되고 있는 콘크리트 포장 유지보수는 통상 손상된 부위의 부분보수후 아스팔트 덧씌우기 공법을 일괄적으로 적용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 포장의 예방적 유지관리공법인 다이아몬드 그라인딩 공법에 대한 적용기준 평탄성, 미끄럼저항성, 소음, 경제성, 포장의 수명연장등 이론적인 연구를 수행하고, 이를 바탕으로 시험시공을 실시하여 초기공용성에 대한 측정을 실시하였다. 종단평탄성측정은 ARAN의 차륜부 좌우에 별도의 평탄성 측정센서를 부착 자동측정차량을 통해 시공전 후의 평탄성을 측정하였다. 미끄럼저항성은 SN기준값으로 분류하여 다이아몬드 그라인딩 시공전 후의 차로별 미끄럼 저항값을 측정하였다. 소음측정은 시공구간과 일반구간, 차종, 속도를 변수로 선정하여 소음발생정도를 측정하였고, 시공전 후의 평균조도깊이를 측정하여 다이아몬드 그라인딩 공법의 평가를 실시하였다. 분석결과 종단평탄성은 시공후 6%~40%가 향상되었으며, 미끄럼저항성은 1차로에서 66%, 2차로에서 37%의 증진효과가 있었다. 소음은 다이아몬드 그라인딩 구간에서 평균 3.4dB의 소음감소 효과가 나타났으며, 평균조도 깊이는 79%의 깊이 항상 효과를 보였다. 그러므로, 향후 기존 콘크리트 포장의 유지보수공법으로서 다이아몬드 그라인딩 공법의 국내적용이 적정하다고 판단된다.
