PURPOSES : In this study, the initial behaviors of shoulder concrete slabs and tiebars at the longitudinal construction joints between the shoulder JCP and mainline CRCP are investigated. METHODS : The strains of concrete and tiebars were measured at the longitudinal construction joint between the CRCP and JCP. Measurements were performed using data accumulated over a month after concrete placement. The contact conditions were investigated by comparing the strains at each location. RESULTS : The longitudinal construction joints between the shoulder JCP and mainline CRCP exhibited the composite behavior of bonding and friction, and a virtual neutral axis was formed inside the JCP. At the connection of the shoulder concrete, the strain and temperature of the concrete were inversely proportional. The tiebars connecting the CRCP and JCP exhibited different behaviors depending on the bonding conditions around the tiebars of the construction joints. In the presumed state in which the bonding condition was maintained, the concrete temperature and tiebar strain were directly proportional; however, the presumed state of the separation condition exhibited an inversely proportional relationship. In the 24-h behaviors of the tiebars, the effects of the horizontal and curling movements overlapped, and the strains of the measured tiebars increased at the minimum and maximum temperatures of the shoulder JCP. CONCLUSIONS : The strains in the tiebars and concrete slabs primarily depended on the boundary conditions (bonding and friction) of the longitudinal construction joint between the shoulder JCP and mainline CRCP.

Asphalt pavement is covered over 90% of Korea road network. There are various causes for damage to asphalt pavement such as crack, stripping, and joints et al. A longitudinal joint occurs in an asphalt pavement when a new batch of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) is laid adjacent to an existing lane for maintenance of asphalt road. It is required to pave the width of a road in multiple lanes because paving the full width of the pavement in a single pass is usually impossible. The durability of longitudinal joints in asphalt pavements is strongly related with the pavement service life. This longitudinal joint is generated attachment sites where the old pavement surface and the new pavement surface are adhered to each other. In the short period of time, early cracks are generated due to the adherence failure of the new and old pavement. Rainwater penetrates into cracks at the time of rainfall. The cracks are enlarged to be connected by labeling and pothole generation, resulting in durability of the pavement deterioration of its service life. Therefore, there is a desperate need for a preventive material that can prevent the expansion of cracks in the longitudinal joint. Compare performance sealing tape with tack coating material, the research team is adopted freeze-thaw and wheel tracking loading test methods. The sealing tape shows the better performance than tack coating material under traffic loading and freeze-thawing test.

일체형 중앙분리대에 설치된 종방향 신축이음부에 대한 현장조사결과 약 85%에서 누수가 발생되고 약 21%가 제설염화물 등에 의하여 슬래브 하단에 철근부식, 콘크리트 탈락 등 손상이 진행되고 있다. 이러한 누수를 막기 위하여 지난 10년간 다양한 누수방지 공법이 제안되고 시공되었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 다양한 누수방지 공법들에 대하여 방수 및 내구 성능을 비교 평가하였으며, 종방향 이음부에 누수 방지를 위한 예방적 유지관리를 적용한 경우와 철근부식 등 손상이 발생한 후 보수하는 사후유지관리에 대하여 경제성분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 예방적 유지관리가 사후유지관리에 비하여 4.6배 경제성이 높은 것으로 평가되었다.

본 연구에서는 급속시공을 위한 단지간의 슬래브 형식의 프리캐스트 모듈러교량의 종방향 연결부 상세를 제안하고자 한다. 슬래브 형식의 프리캐스트 모듈러교량은 횡방향으로 분절되어 제작되므로, 분절된 프리캐스트 모듈 사이에는 종방향의 연결부가 형성된다. 이에, 종방향 연결부의 형상과 제원을 결정하기 위해 전단키 개수, 폭, 높이, 경사각, 연결부 폭을 변수로 선정하여 해석적 연구와 실험적 연구를 함께 수행하였다. 결과 분석을 위해서 연결부에 초기 균열이 발생하는 균열하중에 대한 경향을 검토하였으며, 종방향 연결부의 효율성을 평가하기 위해 효율계수(efficiency factor)를 제안하였다. 해석 및 실험에서 얻어진 균열하중과 본 연구에서 제안된 효율계수를 이용하여 연결부의 형상 및 제원을 결정하였다.
