This study focuses on the issue of premature failure in patched sections of asphalt concrete overlays during the service life of existing concrete slabs. These failures are typically exacerbated by extreme weather and heavy traffic. To overcome the low durability and moisture susceptibility of conventional patching materials, the applicability of the GA (Guss Asphalt) mixture, which is known for its excellent waterproofing and adhesion properties, was investigated. Additionally, the fundamental performance characteristics of GA, including its initial stability, moisture resistance, porosity, and plastic-deformation resistance, were evaluated. In this laboratory study, the stability, flow value, and porosity (V a) of six types of pavement patch materials (including GA/MA (Mastic Asphalt), HMA (Hot Mix Asphalt), and CMA (Cold Mix Asphalt) mixtures) were evaluated under various initial curing conditions (3–48 h) and environmental conditions (air and water at 25 °C). Additionally, a wheel tracking test was performed in air conditions at 25 °C to compare and analyze the dynamic stability and plastic-deformation resistance. The results show that GA exhibited the highest stability under all conditions. Its stability increased significantly after 48 h of curing in water, thus demonstrating its superior moisture resistance compared with that of HMA, whose stability decreased significantly. Porosity analysis indicates that the GA/MA mixtures (GMA, PMA, and PGMA) exhibited low porosity (< 1%) and high saturation (> 97%), thus confirming a dense pore structure. Furthermore, the results of the wheel tracking test show that the HMA and GA mixtures exhibited the highest dynamic stability under both 24- and 48-h curing durations. In particular, the GA mixture showed the smallest rutting depth (0.9–1.0 mm), thus indicating its superior resistance to plastic deformation. By contrast, the CP-A mixture showed the largest rutting depth (32.5–38.4 mm), thus indicating the greatest susceptibility to plastic deformation, whereas the CP-B mixture exhibited relatively stable performance with a rutting depth of 5.4–5.6 mm. In general, the GA/MA mixtures exhibited the best performance in terms of long-term stability (48 h of curing), moisture resistance, and plastic-deformation resistance compared with conventional HMA and CMA (CP-A and CP-B) mixtures. GA mixtures are considered the optimal alternative for road patching and repair owing to their excellent moisture resistance and plastic-deformation resistance at 25 °C. However, their field application requires consideration of various environmental conditions, thus necessitating further comprehensive investigations into their crack resistance, adhesion, and plastic-deformation behavior.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this study was to develop an urgent road-repair system and perform a field applicability test, as well as discover the optimum mix design for machine applications compared to the optimum mix design for lab applications. METHODS: According to reviews of the patent and developed equipment, self-propelled and mix-in-place equipment types are suitable for urgent pavement repair, e.g., potholes and cracks. The machine-application mix design was revised based on the optimum lab-test mix design, and the field application of a spray-injection system was performed on the job site. The mixture from the machine application and lab application was subjected to a wet-track abrasion test and a wheel-tracking test to calibrate the machine application. RESULTS and CONCLUSIONS : This study showed that the binder content could differ for the lab application and the machine application in the same setting. Based on the wet-track abrasion test result, the binder contents of the machine application exceeded the binder contents of the lab application by 1-1.5% on the same setting value. Moreover, the maximum dynamic stability value for the machine application showed 1% lower binder contents than the maximum lab-application value. Collectively, the results of the two different tests showed that the different sizes and operating methods of the machine and lab applications could affect the mix designs. Further studies will be performed to verify the bonding strength and monitor the field application.

PURPOSES: This study aims to develop a repair material that can enhance pavement performance, inducing rapid traffic opening through early strength development and fast setting time by utilizing MgO-based patching materials for repairing road pavements. METHODS : To consider the applicability of MgO-based patching materials for repairing domestic road pavements, first, strength development and setting time of the materials were evaluated, based on MgO to KH2PO4 ratio, water to binder ratio, and addition ratio of retarder (Borax), by which the optimal mixture ratio of the developed material was obtained. To validate the performance of the developed material as a repair material, the strength(compressive strength and bonding strength) and durability (freezing, thawing, and chloride ion penetration resistance) was checked through testing, and its applicability was evaluated. RESULTS : The results showed that when an MgO-based patching material was used, the condensation time was reduced by 80%, and the compressive strength was enhanced by approximately 300%, as compared to existing cement-based repair materials. In addition, it was observed that the strength (compressive strength and bonding strength) and durability (freezing and thawing, and chloride ion penetration resistance) showed an excellent performance that satisfied the regulations. CONCLUSIONS : The results imply that an emergent repair/restoration could be covered by a rapid-hardening cement to meet the traffic limitation (i.e. the traffic restriction is only several hours for repair treatment). Furthermore, MgO-based patching materials can improve bonding strength and durability compared to existing repair materials.

본 연구는 아스팔트 포장 파손을 복구하는 보수재료에 대한 연구이다. 현재 국내에서 사용되고 있는 네가지 종류 재료들에 대하여 실내 및 현장시험을 실시하였다. 실내 시험으로 마샬안정도시험, 간접인장시험, 수침잔류 안정도시험, 휠트랙킹 시험을 실시하였다. 또한 성능시험으로는 기존 아스팔트 콘크리트 혼합물과의 수평전단강도시험을 실시하였다. 현장시험은 아스팔트 포장 도로상에서 차량바퀴가 통과하는 지점에 패칭 슬래브를 제작하여 차량 통과에 따른 공용 결과를 관찰하였다. 실내시험 결과는 현재 적용되고 있는 설계 재료들의 기준은 수침잔류 안정도를 제외하고 만족하였다. Type C가 가장 높은 수평전단강도를 나타냈다. 그러나 시공후 10일 이후부터 소성변형과 탈리와 같은 파손이 발생하였다. 따라서 현재 사용되고 있는 상온보수 재료들을 현장에 적용할 경우에 우수한 성능을 기대할 수 없어서 조기파손을 방지할 수 있는 새로운 시험방법의 개발과 적용이 필요하다.

Objectives : To study and compare the effects of monocular patching and half-eyes patching on the unilateral neglect of stroke patients.Methods : Eleven stroke patients with the unilateral neglect were enrolled. To these patients eight tests such as line bisection test, Albert’s test, letter cancellation test, shape cancellation test, house copying, daisy copying, clock drawing, and reading task were applied for the evalua-tion of the unilateral neglect. These tests were done without patching and with monocular and half-eyes patching respectively.Results : Eye patching methods were effective for reducing the unilateral neglect in 11.1 ∼ 57.1% of patients. Half-eyes patching was significantly effective in clock drawing test(p=.02), In general half-eyes patching was more effective than monocular patching.Conclusion : We suggest that eye patching method could be used as an effective and prac-tical way to reduce the unilateral neglect of the stroke patients.

Objective: To explore the effect of a eye patching technique in order to decrease patients’ unilateral neglect. For this study, eye patching is easy to get and a simple method that most patients find acceptable. Method: This study used the ABA design. The subject was a male patient at the age of 66 who had the left hemiplegia and left unilateral neglect caused by right cerebral vascular accident. He was required to wear the eye patching on the right eye during all the period of ADL because unilateral neglect causes many problems in the majority of ADL. The assessments for the unilateral neglect had been performed by the Line bisection and the Albert test once a session (day). Results: Regarding the Means of the errors to the Line bisection and the Albert test, the Means of the errors was decreased during the period of the intervention (B) and was decreased after the withdrawal (A'). Conclusions: Right monocular patching was effective to release the unilateral neglect. Further study is necessary to increase the sample size and the duration of experiments.

Objective: The purpose of this paper was to study the effect of typing speed and accuracy according to 4 different typing aids on computer keyboard and mouse use. Method: The subjects of this study were 11 of C6∼C7 complete injury patients who had been over six months after injury, and four style of the typing aids, finger, slip-on, band, and modified finger, were used in this study. Each data of typing aid was collected by measuring typing speed and accuracy and analysed with SPSS 10.0. Results: The measured result according to 4 typing aids in typing speed showed that a modified finger typing aid was 41.09 as the highest performance and a bend typing aid was 33.27 as the lowest performance. The typing speed through styles was statistically significant(p<0.05). The measured result according to typing aid style in typing accuracy showed that a bend typing aid was 96.45% as the highest performance and a finger typing aid was 95.45% as the lowest performance. The typing accuracy through styles was not statistically significant(p>0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that modified typing aid seems to be the most efficient among four style of typing aids. Thus, modified typing aid can be an available typing aid having both functional and cosmetic factor for C6∼C7 complete injured patients. In the future use of the modified typing aid should be needed much more as well as its reevaluation should be performed.

Experiments were divided into two parts; one part is to understand the basic properties of high flowable VA/VeoVa-modified cement mortar with different polymer cement ratio (P/C) and the weight ratio of fine aggregate to cement (C:F) and the other part is to investigate the effect of surface water spread on the concrete substrate on adhesion in tension. To understand the basic performance, the specimens were prepared with proportionally mixing VA/VeoVa redispersible powder, ordinary portland cement, silica sand, superplasticizer and viscosity enhancing agent. Here, P/C were 10, 20, 30, 50 and 75% and C:F were 1:1 and 1:3. As the change of P/C and C:F unit weight, flow test, crack resistance and adhesion in tension were measured. Three specimens with good adhesion properties were selected among specimens with different P/C and C:F. The effect of surface water evenly sprayed on concrete substrate on adhesive strength is investigated. The results show that surface water on concrete substrate increases the adhesion in tension of high flowable VA/VeoVa-modified cement mortar and additionally improves the flowability compared to the non-sprayed case.
