Abstract

The paper presents the field applications and evaluation results of solid epoxy asphalt mixture for steel bridge deck. The material was developed in Japan. The material properties of epoxy asphalt mixture were evaluated through various literature review, and the mix design and mixture evaluation were conducted. According to the research results, the application of epoxy asphalt mixture for steel bridge deck was noticeable compare to the conventional ones. In addition, results from 3D finite element analysis showed that the performance of epoxy asphalt mixture for steel bridge deck was proved to be satisfied. As a result, a pilot test section was constructed using the epoxy asphalt mixture produced from conventional batch plant system. BPT test results showed that friction of the epoxy asphalt mixture was higher than the requirements compare to that of the conventional one.

본 연구에서는 현재 일본에서 개발되어 적용되고 있는 고형화 에폭시 수지를 이용한 아스팔트 혼합물의 국내 강상판 적용성을 평가 하고자 하였다. 다양한 문헌조사를 통한 고형화 에폭시 아스팔트 혼합물의 특성을 파악한 후, 배합설계 와 혼합물 평가를 실시하였다. 그 결과 강상판에 적용되는 다른 재래식 혼합물에 비하여 성능이 월등함을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 3D 유한 요소 해석을 수행한 결과 에폭시 아스팔트가 시공 시 충분한 공용성능을 보이는 것으로 판단되어 국내에서 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 배치식 플랜트 통해 고형화 에폭시 아스팔트 혼합물 생산 후 시험시공을 실시하였다. 시공 후 공용성을 평가하기 위해 BPT 실험을 한 결과 포장의 표면은 기준이상의 마찰력을 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다.
