Abstract

Asphalt overlay on deteriorated concrete pavement has a problem of early damage due to reflective cracking. There is a need for a new method capable of reducing reflection cracking and ensuring the durability of pavement. The purpose of this study was to obtain durability of asphalt overlay with stress absorbing membrane interlayer (SAMI) using epoxy asphalt binder. The tensile performance, durability, water resistance and bonding performance of Epoxy-SAMI were evaluated by various tests. As a result of tests, Epoxy-SAMI meets the quality standard of the bridge waterproofing material. The repeated direct tensile test was carried out to investigate the effect of reflective cracking reduction. When the Epoxy-SAMI was applied, it had 1.2~1.56 times higher reflective cracking resistance than PSMA asphalt concrete with the thickness of 10cm even if the section thickness decreased. 4-point bending beam test results showed the number of fatigue failures increased 7.5 times when Epoxy-SAMI was applied. The Epoxy-SAMI was found to be effective in improving the durability of the asphalt pavement overlay because it serves to prevent reflective cracking, increase lifespan, and function as a waterproof layer.

노후 된 도로 포장 개량을 위한 아스팔트 덧씌우기 포장의 경우 반사균열로 인한 조기파손이 문제가 되고 있어, 반사균열을 억제하고 포장의 내구성을 확보할 수 있는 새로운 공법이 필요한 실정이다. 에폭시 아스팔트 바인더를 이용한 응력흡수층(SAMI)을 통해 아스팔트 덧씌우기 포장의 내구성을 확보하고자 하였다. 에폭시 응력흡수층의 인장성능, 접착성능, 방수성능, 내화학성, 내구성 실험을 수행하였으며, 교면 방수재료의 품질기준을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 반사균열 억제 효과를 검토하기 위해 반복직접인장실험 결과 에폭시 응력흡수층 적용시 단면 두께가 감소하여도 두께 10cm의 PSMA 아스팔트 콘크리트에 비해 1.2~1.56배 높은 반사균열저항성을 나타내었다. 4점 빔피로 실험 결과 에폭시 응력흡수층을 적용하면 피로파괴횟수가 약 7.5배 높아져 포장의 내구성을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 에폭시 응력흡수층은 반사균열 억제와 피로수명 향상 및 방수층으로서의 역할을 수행하여 아스팔트 덧씌우기 포장의 내구성 향상에 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
