Abstract

Snow-melting system has been applied not only to roads for car traffic but also to pavement for the pedestrians safety reason in some of the developed countries such as USA and Canada based on countermeasures against Natural Disasters Act revised in 2000. Even though this system was introduced in korea in 2006 and has been partly applied to car traffic roads, there is few places that the system has been applied. Therefore, in this research a snow-melting system with a block-type to cover a pavement that efficiently transfers heat form heat rays to the top of a pavement and protects the heat rays. A quality check showed that compression and bending strength was improved approximately 5 times stronger and 7 to 10 times more absorption rate than the KS(Korea Industrial Standard) requirement. Moreover, only 10 minute was required to increase temperature above zero with a block-type snow-melting system whereas approximately 180 minute was spent with the existing system. This research is expected to contribute to environmental issues and reduce accidents on a slippery road.

해외 선진국에서는 2000년 자연재해대책법 개정을 통해 차도 중심의 융설시스템에서 인권위주의 보행자 전용시스템으로 확대 적용하고 있으나, 국내에는 2006년 선진국형 융설시스템이 도입되어 도로 부문에 일부 시공 되었지만 보행자를 위한 융설시스템 개발 및 적용 사례는 전무한 편이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 열선의 열이 보도블록 상부로 효율적으로 전달되도록 함으로써 지반으로 손실되는 열을 최소화하고 충격에 따른 열선의 손상 방지 및 공정을 단순화하여 원가 및 공정을 절감할 수 있는 블록형 보도포장 기술을 개발하고 이를 현장 적용하였다. 품질시험 결과 휨강도는 KS기준보다 약 5배, 흡수율은 7배~10배의 성능이 향상된 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 현장 시험결과 기존 융설시스템은 노면의 온도가 영상으로 올라가는데 약 180분이 소요되었으나 블록형 보도포장 기술은 약 10분 정도 소요되었으며 30분 경과 후 노면 평균 온도는 $3.5^{\circ}C$를 유지하였다. 이처럼 조립식 보도블록 기술개발을 통해 겨울철 보행자 낙상방지를 통한 국민안전확보 및 화학제설제 사용 억제를 통한 환경오염 방지에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
