PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to provide basic data to improve the service life of asphalt pavement using basalt aggregate in Jeju Island by evaluating the performance of asphalt pavement through analysis of material and structural aspects. METHODS : To evaluate the performance of Jeju Island's asphalt pavement, cracks, permanent deformation, and longitudinal roughness were analyzed for the Aejo-ro road, which has high traffic and frequent premature damage. Cores were collected from Aejo-ro sections in good condition and damaged condition, and the physical properties of each layer were compared and analyzed. In addition, plate cores were collected from two sections with severe damage and the cause of pavement damage was analyzed in detail. RESULTS : About 45% of the collected cores suffered damage such as layer separation and damage to the lower layer. The asphalt content of surface layer in the damaged section was found to be 1.1% lower on average than that in the good condition section, and the mix gradations generally satisfied the standards. The density difference between the cores of each layer was found to be quite large, and the air voids was found to be at a high level. CONCLUSIONS : Test results on the cores showed that, considering the high absorption ratio of basalt aggregate, the asphalt content was generally low, and the high air voids of the pavement was believed to have had a significant impact on damage. High air voids in asphalt pavement can be caused by poor mixture itself, poor construction management, or a combination of the two factors. Additionally, the separation of each layer is believed to be the cause of premature failure of asphalt pavement.

PURPOSES : This study intended to derive a methodology that can evaluate water splash caused by distress on the road surface based on experimental methods and to present quantitatively by analyzing the impact on road users. METHODS : Through literature review, the current problems of road pavement and drainage facility standards, the factors of road splash caused by puddle was selected to measure damage. Field measurements were conducted by setting different conditions for each factors and setting different conditions based on the hypothesis. In addition, water splash by surface distress type and puddle was measured to analyze using statistical techniques from correlation to multi-regression. RESULTS : The maximum and effective distance due to road splash increases as the driving speed, regardless of vehicle load and tyre type. Splash was measured according to the type of road distress to analyze the correlation between the influencing factors, and there was a weak correlation between the width and length of the puddle, depth and the effective distance. In addition, the interaction analysis showed that there was an interaction between the width of the water hole and the depth of puddle. Moreover, based on the multi-regression analysis, it was not statistical significant. This is judged to that the number of data samples used for this analysis is limited because the diversity of puddle conditions cannot be set differently for each type of distress. CONCLUSIONS : Since the distress of depending on the size, depth and shape of the road surface, it is necessary to calculate it and present maintenance standards, so this results present an experimental methodology that can intuitively evaluate damage cased by unestablished puddle. From this results, this is expected to be used as a quantitative indicator to evaluate the satisfaction of road users as a functional performance according to road surface condition.

PURPOSES : Previously, the expansion state of the concrete pavement in which AAR occurred could not be determined. Because the current situation has not been evaluated, it has been difficult to prepare an appropriate response. In this study, a method for calculating the expansion amount of concrete pavement using the stiffness damage test (SDT) is proposed. METHODS : The SDT method was examined through a literature review. For the laboratory tests, specimens that generated AAR were produced based on the mix design (2018) of the Korea Expressway Corporation. SDT was used to calculate various mechanical properties, and their correlation with the expansion amount was reviewed. RESULTS : Using the SDT, various mechanical properties(elastic modulus, hysteresis area, plastic deformation, plastic deformation index, stiffness damage index, and nonlinear index) were calculated based on the expansion rate of the AAR. The elastic modulus was evaluated as the best predictor of the expansion rate. Thus, if the elastic modulus is calculated using SDT, a prediction equation can be used to calculate the amount of AAR expansion. This equation will need to be supplemented by further research. CONCLUSIONS : SDT was used to confirm that the expansion state due to the AAR of the concrete pavement could be indirectly evaluated. Among the mechanical properties related to SDT, the elastic modulus was found to be the most suitable for predicting the amount of expansion.

PURPOSES: Spalling is one of the primary problems that lead to the damage of concrete pavements. The purpose of the study is to analyze the impact range of spalling that occurred in an area of concrete pavement by applying a variety of nondestructive and destructive testing methods. METHODS: Spalling of the concrete pavement was categorized into four different sizes, 0 cm, 7.5 cm, 15 cm, and 30 cm. Nondestructive and destructive tests were performed at the point of spalling and 1 m away, respectively, and the obtained results were compared. The nondestructive tests included the electrical resistance test and the ultrasonic velocity test as well as strength tests by Schmidt hammer and concrete tester. The destructive tests included the direct compressive strength test and the chloride content test using field cored specimens. The test results helped in the analysis of the correlation between the current spalling damage condition and the expected damage acceleration. RESULTS: Based on the present study, the repair area and depth of spalling for a partial depth repair was suggested. It was also shown that the size of the spalling is highly correlated with the chloride content and the electrical resistance of the concrete pavement. CONCLUSIONS: The degree of spalling deterioration was found to be highly correlated with the chloride content and electrical resistance of the concrete pavement and based on the results, the extent of repair could be determined more quantitatively.

PURPOSES: This study was conducted to investigate the causes of damage and to suggest proper repair methods for the sections in which a number of transverse cracks and faulting occurred in JCP (Jointed Concrete Pavement) slabs during the early-age performance period. METHODS: Field crack survey, FWD (Falling Weight Deflectometer) investigation, dowel bar installation condition survey, longitudinal profile survey, and in-situ core specimen inspection were conducted. . RESULTS : As a result of the analysis, it was found that there was no decline in the composite modulus of the subgrade reaction (k-value). The dowel bars were properly installed, but the LTE (Load Transfer Efficiency) of the joint and transverse cracks were analyzed to be very low. In addition, it was found that there are voids in the bottom of the slab at the joints and corners. Due to the excessive built-in curling in the early age of concrete pavement construction, upward curling displacement occurred at the joints and corners, resulting in voids at the bottom of the slab. As a result, it was found that transverse cracks occurred due to the defective joint LTE. CONCLUSIONS: Excessive built-in curling can cause early age cracks in the JCP slabs. In order to minimize the occurrence of reflection cracks after the application of the asphalt overlay in the future, concepts of alternative repair methods were proposed.

In this paper the authors would like to present and share the measurements of load spectra and their modelling for pavement design purposes in the Mexican road network, which due to the intense level of trade with the United States present a very high percentage of heavy vehicles in the flow of vehicles and with high levels of load. Examples of these measurements are given in the country's main transport corridors. Damage spectra are also presented that are associated to each of the different axle types (i.e., single, dual, tandem, tridem or another one) by computing for instance the Miner damage coefficient in the same load ranges used in the definition of the load spectra. Is this frequency distribution of the Miner damage coefficient that is called damage spectra. The damage spectra seem to be a very useful tool to evaluate the pavement expected damage, i.e., rutting or fatigue cracking, induced for a given axle type. Moreover, it can be showed that there is a direct relationship between the forms in load and damage spectra. Some examples are presented to illustrate the damage spectra computations. The incorporation of these load spectra into mechanistic design methodologies and their implications in the definition of public policies for the preservation of the road network are discussed.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this study was to investigate the disintegration mechanism of concrete due to the infiltration of the moisture to the milling overlay pavement and to come up with a method to minimize the disintegration as well as verifying the effectiveness of the edge sealing and Fogseal method. METHODS : This study investigated the distress mechanism due to the infiltrated moisture remaining in the milling overlay pavement through chloride freezing test and verified the effectiveness of the sealing of the milling edge and fog seal methods, which have been devised to minimize the moisture infiltration, through laboratory water permeability test. Additionally, long-term pavement performance was compared for the effectiveness of the proposed method through under loading test, and field water permeability test was carried out to verify the field applicability of the proposed method. RESULTS: The result of the research confirmed that chloride deteriorates the concrete surface through disintegration and lowers its strength and that the laboratory moisture infiltration test verified the effectiveness of the milling edge sealing and fog seal methods in the deterrence of moisture infiltration to the overlay pavement with excellent long-term performance of the pavement treated with the proposed method. Although the field water permeability test revealed some deterrence of moisture infiltration of the milling edge sealing and fog seal methods to a certain extent, the difference was a little. CONCLUSIONS: The milling edge sealing and fog seal methods are limited in their effectiveness for the cases of improvident compaction management or mixture with large void, and it is believed that installation of subsurface drainage is more effective in these cases.

역학적-경험적 포장설계 프로그램 중에서, 미국 AASHTO 설계법을 기초로 개발된 MEPDG는 교통량, 기상, 재료물성, 포장구조 등을 입력변수로 하여 기술자가 최적의 대안을 찾도록 한다. 하지만 MEPDG에서 기술적 문제가 발견되고 있기 때문에 이를 해결하여 프로그램을 개선하기 위한 노력이 계속되고 있다. 한편, 국내에서도 KPRP 연구과제에서 역학적-경험적 포장설계 프로그램이 개발되어 왔다. 이 한국형 포장설계 프로그램을 더욱 합리적으로 개발하고 개선하기 위해서는 이미 사용되고 있는 MEPDG를 분석하여 서로 비교할 필요가 있다. 콘크리트 포장설계의 경우, 피로균열은 다른 공용성 인자와는 달리 매우 복잡한 로직을 통해 예측된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 MEPDG 버전 0.5, 버전 1.0, 그리고 버전 1.1의 피로균열 전이함수를 분석하였다. 그리고 버전별 MEPDG와 KPRP 입력변수들의 누적피로손상에 대한 민감도를 서로 비교하였다.

최근 들어 온난화 등의 영향으로 태풍이나 집중호우가 빈번히 발생하고 있으며 이로 인한 산지 도로의 산사태, 토석류, 상향침투수압 등에 의한 인명, 시설물 피해도 극심하게 나타나고 있다. 산지 도로의 상향침투수압은 심각한 포장 파손을 발생시키기도 한다. 산지 측의 높은 지하수위로 인한 상향침투수압을 감소시키기 위해서는 지하배수공법이 매우 효과적 이라고 판단된다. 지하배수 공법을 원활하게 작동하기 위해서는 배수기층이 적합한 투수계수와 지지력을 갖추어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 적절한 투수성과 지반 지지력을 확보할 수 있는 최적의 배수기층 입도에 대한 연구를 수행하였다.

국토의 70% 이상이 산악지인 우리나라 지형적 특성 때문에 도로가 산지을 인접해서 건설되는 것이 불가피하다. 최근 들어 온난화등의 영향으로 태풍이나 집중호우가 빈번히 발생하고 있으며 이로 인한 산지 도로의 산사태, 토석류, 상향짐투수압 등에 의한 인명, 시설물 피해도 극심하게 나타나고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 산지 도로의 피해 중 상향침투수압에 의해 발생하는 포장의 틀림 현상에 대하여 고찰하였다. 산지도로 주변의 다양한 특성을 고려하기 위하여 상향침투수압에 의해 포장파손이 발생한 지역특성에 대하여 사명의 경사각, 산지표면의 보가유무, 산지 경사면 토사층의 두께, 지중 배수관의 설치 유무에 따라 상향침투수압을 산정하였다. 분석결과 상향침투수압은 현재 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 쇄석기층 위의 아스팔트포장 및 표면배수형식조건에서 5~10kPa 범위에서 발생하며, 사면경사각이 커짐에 따라 상향침투수압도 비례하여 커지는 것을 확인하였고, 사면의 표면을 보강 처리하지 않았을 경우의 상향침투수압은 작게 나타났다. 산지 경사면의 토사층의 두께는 지하수위가 산지표면까지 상승한 조건에서는 상향침투수압에 큰 영향은 없었으나, 지하수위가 산지표면까지 상승하는 것은 강우지속시간에 따라서 영향을 받는 점을 고려하면, 지중배수관의 설치는 도로 표층에 가해지는 상향침두수압을 효율적으로 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 기층형식에 따른 상향침투수압에 대한 저항성 측면에서는 비 부착성인 쇄석기층보다 부착성인 안정처리기층이 자중이 증가하여 포장의 틀림 현상을 방지하는데 유리하다고 판단되지만 안정처리기층만으로는 상향침투수압에 견딜 수 없으므로 지중배수관 및 사면배수공법을 적용하여 사용하는 것이 바람직하다고 판단된다.

고속도로에서 콘크리트 포장의 알칼리-골재반응 발생 구간이 증가하고 있다. 알칼리-골재반응이 발생한 콘크리트 포장은 팽창하 면서 인접 교량에 교대 변위를 발생시켜 다수의 손상을 발생시키고 있다. 현장 조사 결과 콘크리트 포장의 팽창량은 온도 신축에 의한 팽창률을 상회하면서 교량에 치명적인 하중으로 작용하고 있어 손상 방지를 위한 선제적인 조치가 필요하다. 알칼리-골재 반응에 의한 팽창 정도는 알칼 리-골재반응의 상태, 포장의 길이 및 도로구조에 따라 달라짐을 알 수 있었다. 교량의 손상 방지를 위해선 콘크리트 포장의 팽창력을 이완시켜 주는 방안이 효과적이며 콘크리트 포장의 길이가 긴 구간은 아스팔트 치환공법이 유리할 것이다.
