Assesment of Applicability of Recycled Aggregates for Highway Pavement Materials

도로포장 재료로서 폐콘크리트 재생골재의 활용성 연구

This study was performed to evaluate applicability of recycled aggregates as subbase and surface concrete materials for cement concrete pavement. Laboratory compaction test, CBR test and plate load bearing test were conducted to evaluate applicability for pavement subbase materials. Recycled concrete for surface course was manufactured with a design strength of $280kgf/cm^2$. Normal coarse aggregate was substituted with recycled aggregates with five different ratios, 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% for recycled concrete mixes. Fresh concrete Properties, concrete strength properties for the five substitution percentages of recycled aggregates after 28-day curing and freezing-and-thawing resistance were evaluated experimentally. Based on the experimental results, it was concluded that the recycled aggregate was the material good enough to use for subbase material, and 40% or lower substitution ratio was an appropriate percentage of recycled aggregates replacement for surface concrete.

본 연구는 재생골재를 도로의 보조기층재료 및 포장용 콘크리트 골재로 사용하기 위하여 수행되었다. 우선 보조기층재료로서의 활용성 여부를 파악하기 위하여 실내다짐시험, CBR 시험, 평판재하시험을 수행하였으며, 콘크리트용 골재로의 활용성을 보기 위하여 재생골재 첨가비율을 0, 20, 40, 60, 80%로 하여 설계기준강도 $280kgf/cm^2$인 표층용 콘크리트를 제조하였다. 제조된 콘크리트로 굳지 않은 콘크리트 성질과 28일 양생 후 강도시험과 동결 융해에 따른 내구성 시험을 통해 폐콘크리트 재생골재의 활용성을 도로포장재료 측면에서 검토하였다. 실험결과 재생골재는 보조기층재료로서의 사용이 충분히 가능하며 표층용 콘크리트 골재로서 재생골재 첨가비율 40%까지 활용이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.
