PURPOSES: This study evaluated the effect of fog seal treatment utilizing an agricultural oil-based asphalt concrete sealant (ABCS) on the long-term performance of an asphalt pavement. METHODS: Fog seal treatment using ABCS was applied on 800 m of the pavement section in the test section with a total length of 2,400 m; the remaining pavement section was not considered for this treatment. A series of laboratory and field tests were conducted on both sections, including a Marshall stability test, penetration test, viscosity test, skid resistance test, and pavement surface macrotexture test. In addition, the pavement condition index (PCI) was determined 8 years after the ABCS application to evaluate the effect of the ABCS treatment on the pavement’s long-term performance. RESULTS : The ABCS-treated section exhibited a PCI of 75, whereas the non-treated section exhibited a value of 64. Furthermore, a MicroPAVERTM‚ pavement management system determined that the pavement deterioration rates (i.e., drops in PCI) were 3.6 and 5.1 per year for the ABCS-treated and non-treated sections, respectively. CONCLUSIONS : The results of the series of laboratory and field tests revealed that the ABCS treatment increased the pavement performance life by approximately 3.5 years.

PURPOSES:The objectives of this study are to develop a new cold-applied crack sealant and to evaluate its properties and field applicability by comparing with other conventionally used crack sealants.METHODS :A new cold-applied crack sealant was developed by using neoprene latex to improve material properties. The fundamental properties such as viscosity, residue %, penetration, and softening point of the developed crack sealant were tested by TxDOT criteria to evaluate crack sealing capability. Moreover, the performance of the developed cold-applied crack sealant was evaluated under both laboratory and field conditions. In the laboratory, the bond property was evaluated using the developed cold-applied crack sealant and conventional hotapplied crack sealant by the bond-properties test standardized under ASTM D 6690. In the field, test sections were constructed on three areas: a trunk road, bus-only lane, and motorway, with the developed crack sealant and three conventional crack sealants. After construction, early field-inspection was performed on the test sections.RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS :Overall, the developed cold-applied crack sealant demonstrates reasonable storage stability, durability, and bond property compared to conventional hot-applied crack sealants. From the test sections, it was established that the developed cold-applied crack sealant does not pose construction issues. Moreover, the early performance was verified through field inspection. However, as the field inspection was conducted a week after the construction, it is necessary to conduct an inspection of performance from a long-term point of view.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to select the proper sealing method and to see the performance of the saw and seal method for concrete rehabilitation based on accelerated pavement testings and lab tests. METHODS : Two accelerated pavement testings were conducted. One is to select proper sealing method of the asphalt joints and the other is to see the performance of the saw and seal method. Lab tests were conducted to select proper sealing method and a test section was constructed to see the field performance. RESULTS : The result of the first accelerated pavement testing indicated that the adhesive preformed sealants showed good performance when asphalt layer was rutted and in terms preventing from water infiltration. The second acceleration test indicated that the saw and seal method using the adhesive preformed sealant showed much better performance than the control. In the lab test bitumen, rubber and epoxy showed good performance as the adhesive. CONCLUSIONS : Saw and Seal method using the adhesive preformed sealant would markedly reduce the joint damage on the asphalt overlay.

콘크리트 도로에서 줄눈의 역할은 계절적 온도변화에 따라 콘크리트 슬래브의 수축과 팽창 시 적절한 공간을 확보하여 파손과 균열을 보호하는 역할을 하게 된다. 이때 줄눈 부위를 줄눈재로 채워 넣어 이물질이 침투하여 슬래브의 움직임을 방해하거나 파손시키는 것으로부터 보호하는 역할과 강우나 강설 등에 의한 수분이 포장 내부로 침투하여 동결융해에 의한 내부균열 방지 및 다웰바 등을 부식시키는 것을 막는 역할을 수행하여 도로의 공용성을 향상시키는 역할을 하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 도로 줄눈에서 시공된지 2년 경과한 시료를 채취하여 열화를 겪지 않은 초기시료와의 물리적 강도, 내후성, 제설제 저항성 등으로 평가하였으며 실리콘 소재 대비 내후성과 접착성에 큰 차이가 발생하는 것을 확인하였다.

Conductive pastes consist of conductive fillers( Au, Ag, Ni, Cu etc.), organic binders, solvents and additives. Meanwhile, there are some metal powders such as copper, nickel etc that are used for pastes which have serious surface corrosion problems. This problem leads to change of the color and decrease in conductivity and affect storage stability of conductive pastes. By using silane coupling agent and dispersion agent, we can ensure both the corrosion stability and long term storage stability, and enhance the high performance electrical and mechanical properties of EMI shielding silicone sealant.

In many climatic conditions, there is UV ray, which is called ultraviolet rays, which has the greatest effect on sealing materials. Because UV has high energy, it changes the internal structure of polymer and causes quality deterioration. In addition, temperature, humidity, and rainfall, snowfall, and atmospheric pollutants are also factors to be avoided in maintaining the integrity of the sealant. In this study, we tried to obtain reproducibility by using a composite deterioration test device which can describe the environment of the outside air as a part of the research project to investigate the weather change in the prototype of the structural sealant. The outdoor exposure test result and the composite deterioration test device Correlation analysis. In the future, it will be possible to predict the changes in the physical properties of the structural sealant by applying the composite deterioration test equipment and outdoor exposure test data.

Selection of a typical four companies products of domestic structural one-component sealant, high temperature, low temperature, room temperature to set up the environment for each of 80, -20, 20 ℃ and the left and right displacement of the test piece 30, 15, 0% of the maximum compression / expansion It was carried out by the repeated fatigue.

This paper describes the effect of norton tape and boundary sealant on structural performance of structural sealant glazing(SSG) system. A total 3 specimens were made and tested under four point loading condition. In this study, it was found that norton tape and boundary sealant considerably affects the structural performance of SSG system.

According to the results of case studies on leakage in large scale aquarium structures, the causes have been identified as construction failure of sealant for joint of sealant design failure in acryilic panel and concrete substrate joints. However, as there currently are no standardized design or specifications for such principles, this study proposes a design formulation of a width and depth of sealant when applied to acrylic panels in large scale aquarium structures.
