Abstract

Warm-mix asphalt(WMA) technology has been developed to allow asphalt mixtures to be produced and compacted at a significantly lower temperature. The WMA technology was identified as one of means to lower emissions for $CO_2$ and has been spread so quickly in the world. Recently, two innovative WMA additives has been developed to reduce mixing and paving temperatures applied in asphalt paving process in Korea. Since the first public demonstration project in 2008, many WMA projects have successfully been constructed in national highways. In 2010, the WMA field trial was conducted on new national highway construction under Dae-Jeon Regional Construction Management Administration. The two different WMA loose mixtures(WMA and WMA-P) and a HMA mixture were collected at the asphalt plant to evaluate their mechanical performance in the laboratory. The Third-scale Model Mobile Loading Simulator(MMLS3) was adopted to evaluate rutting resistance and moisture damage under different traffic and environmental conditions. In this study, plant-produced WMA mixtures using two WMA additives along with the conventional hot mix asphalt(HMA) mixtures were evaluated with respect to their rutting resistance and moisture susceptibility using MMLS3. Based on the limited laboratory test results, plant-produced WMA mixtures are superior to HMA mixtures in rutting resistance and the moisture susceptibility. The WMA additive was effective for producing and compacting the mixture at $30^{\circ}C$ lower than the temperature for the HMA mixture.

아스팔트 혼합물을 중온에서 생산하여 다짐할 수 있는 중온 아스팔트 기술이 개발되었다. 중온 아스팔트 기술은 유해가스를 줄일 수 있어 친환경적 아스팔트 포장 기술로 인정받고 있으며 전 세계적으로 그 사용량이 점점 증가하고 있다. 최근, 국내에서도 순수 국산화 기술로 중온 아스팔트 혼합물용 첨가제를 개발하여 이에 대한 품질평가와 중온 아스팔트 혼합물에 대한 성능평가를 수행하고 있다. 2008년도부터 다수의 신설 국도 구간에 자체 개발한 중온 아스팔트 첨가제를 사용하여 생산한 중온 아스팔트 혼합물을 이용하여 시험포장을 성공적으로 완료하였다. 2010년 대전지방국도관리청 산하 신설 국도포장의 중간층에 두 종류에 중온화 첨가제(일반 중온화 첨가제(WMA), 폴리머 개질 중온화 첨가제(WMA-P))를 사용한 두 종류에 중온 아스팔트 혼합물과 한 종류에 가열 아스팔트 혼합물을 각각 생산하여 시험포장을 완료하였으며 시함포장에 사용한 혼합물을 사용하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 현장 아스팔트 플랜트에서 생산된 두 종류의 중온 아스팔트 혼합물(WMA, WMA-P)과 일반 가열 아스팔트 혼합물(HMA)을 각각 채취하였으며 실내에서 실제 도로에서 발생하는 차량하중과 환경을 모사할 수 있는 소형 포장 가속시험기(MMLS3)를 사용하여 아스팔트 혼합물의 소성변형 저항성과 수분민감도를 비교 평가하였다. 소형 포장 가속 시험결과 현장 아스팔트 플랜트에서 생산한 중온 아스팔트 혼합물은 가열 아스팔트 혼합물보다 우수한 소성변형저항성과 수분민감도를 보여 주었다. 순수 국산화 기술로 중온 아스팔트 혼합물용 첨가제는 가열 아스팔트 혼합물 보다 낮은 온도에서 중온 아스팔트 혼합물을 생산하고 다짐하는데 효과적인 것으로 평가되었다.
