Porous asphalt pavement is used widely in advanced countries to reduce traffic accidents and noise. On the other hand, it is not applied widely in Korea due to concerns about its durability. This study aims to find a statistical method to improve the durability of porous asphalt pavement. A Cantabro test was selected to test the durability. The Cantabro test was performed on an asphalt mixture made of a binder and aggregate. This test was repeated three times for each of the four groups to obtain the Cantabro loss rate. The average values of each of the four groups satisfied all the reference values. In addition, through an analysis of variance (ANOVA), it was possible to quantitatively classify test groups with differences in durability, thereby finding problems and improving the durability. Furthermore, the Pay Factor method can lead to voluntary improvements in quality, and the Pay factor can be calculated through statistical analysis of limited data. Through the Pay factor, it is possible to induce definite quality improvement of the contractor and continuously improve the durability of the porous asphalt mixture by evaluating the adequacy of the quality standard.

Manufacture of nancomposites has simple process for developing nanocomposites due to the increasing applications using nanofillers. This work studied nanofiller coated glass fiber for reinforcing material with good wetting and conductivity and the morphology of nanofiller coated glass fiber was analyzed by FE-SEM. The durability of reinforced glass fiber was investigated with different shapes of nanofillers using sonication rinsing method. Fatigue test was performed to evaluate the adhesion of reinforcing interface and stability of nanofiller coating layer for single fiber reinforced composites. Apparent modulus and conductivity of nanofiller coating layer were evaluated to realize multifunctional of nanocomposites. Fiber type of nanofiller was better than plate type due to better cohesion between fiber and nanofillers. At last, the stability of fiber type nanofiller of coating layer has better durability and conductivity than plate type case.

RC(Reinfored Concrete) structures exposed to carbonation in urban city have durability degradation with extended service life and cracks in concrete causes a local accelerated carbonation. In the present work, crack effect on carbonation depth is investigated and the service life of RC structure is evaluated considering cracks from early age and time-dependent cracks based on the previous field investigation. DFP(Durability Failure Probability), safety index, and the related service life are calculated considering the time to crack width reaches to maximum crack width(0.3mm). The results with time effect on crack width show lower DFP and longer service life, which seems to be reasonable compared with conservative results from crack effect from initial stage. Furthermore, crack effect is evaluated to be insignificant on DFP and service life. The technique with time-dependent crack effect on carbonation can be effectively used for RC structure containing cracking in use.

Because of the defect in design, damage in using period, and deterioration in long term exposure to severe environmental condition, degradation of performance in RC (Reinforced Concrete) structures has occurred. This paper contains durability performance evaluation in railway bridges which covers eight districts through field investigation. For the target structures, durability performance is evaluated and the critical problems in use are derived. Additionally, service lifes for the deteriorated structures are evaluated through Durability-Environment index method based on the results from field investigation, and the results are compared with those from the condition assuming the structures without defect, damage, and deterioration. The target structures which consist of RC T girder, PSC girder, RC box, and Rahmen are investigated and the critical damage patterns are derived. They are evaluated to be cracks in PSC girder end, flexural cracks in PSC girder, crack around EPT anchor, and flexural cracks in RC T girder and RC box. The reasons for the critical patterns are also investigated. This study can be utilized for the repair planning considering the different district and the structure types.

가뭄의 경우 타 자연재난에 비해 발생경로, 피해범위, 발생기간 등이 매우 다양해 다각적인 측면에서의 대응책 마련이 필요하다. 따라서, 극한가뭄에 대비한 지자체별 가뭄 역량 평가를 수행하는 것은 재난관리에 있어서 최우선이라고 할 수 있다. 현재 국내외적으로 가뭄과 관련된 지역적 복원력을 평가한 사례는 매우 적다. 가뭄은 지진, 홍수 등과 같은 타 자연재난에 비하여 지속기간이 길고, 그 지속기간에 따라 피해의 영향 또한 파급력이 달라지므로 복원력 산정을 위한 항목, 복원력 곡선의 저하 형태 및 양상 역시 가뭄의 특성에 맞춰 도출되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 지자체별 극한가뭄에 대한 복원력 정량화를 위하여 가뭄과 관련된 내구성, 대체성, 신속성, 자원동원력의 세부인자를 정성인자와 정량인자로 구분하여 총 18개 항목으로 구성하였다. 구성된 18가지 항목이 정량인자 뿐만 아니라 정성인자로 구성됨에 따라, 모든 인자를 동일한 가중치로 평가할 경우 최종결과가 상대적 중요도의 미 고려로 인해 왜곡될 가능성이 존재한다. 따라서 계층적분석기법(AHP, Analytic Hierarchy Process)을 통해 내구성, 대체성, 신속성, 그리고 자원동원력에 대한 가중치와 내구성, 대체성, 그리고 신속성에 대한 세부 지표별 가중치를 도출하여 지역별 메가가뭄 복원력을 정량화 하였다. 분석결과를 동일한 가중치를 적용한 결과와 비교분석하였으며, 과거 가뭄사례를 통해 검토하였다.

The demand for porous asphalt mixtures is increasing because it has a range of functions, such as reducing traffic accidents and traffic noise. On the other hand, its application is delayed due to concerns about durability. This study examined the effects of the maximum aggregate size, temperature, and porosity of an asphalt mixture on the durability. To this end, the durability measure was set to the Cantabro loss rate. Mixtures having the same porosity of 20% and the maximum aggregate diameters of 13 mm, 10 mm, and 8 mm were tested at 20℃ and -20℃. Mixtures containing 20% and 22% voids with the same material having the same diameter were tested. With 20% porosity, there was no significant difference in durability when there was a change in the maximum aggregate size. There was a significant difference between 20℃ and -20℃, but no significant difference in durability when there was a 2% difference between 20% and 22%. The significance of this study is that the durability was presented quantitatively by tests and statistical analysis. This research will help improve the durability of porous asphalt mixtures by evaluating the factors affecting the durability quantitatively.

A number of highway projects are in progress in Korea to accommodate increasing transportation demands. As the highway route becomes more complex, some projects include tunneling through unconsolidated sedimentary rock. Since an unconsolidated sedimentary rock mainly consists of rock and ground mass, the behavior and characteristics in unconsolidated sedimentary rock tunnel are quite different from typical rock tunnel. However, construction case histories and rock classifications method on unconsolidated sedimentary rock tunnel had not been developed or studied domestically. Consequently the case studies and rock classification system for unconsolidated sedimentary rock are required to better understand its behavior for tunneling. In this study, rock mass classification method is proposed to identify unconsolidated sedimentary rock based on point load and slake durability tests. Based on this, the proposed method of unconsolidated sedimentary rock can be applied well through comparisons with the results of convergence measurement.

이암 및 셰일은 점토를 함유하고 있어 풍화작용을 받을 경우 공학적 성질이 급격히 변화하여 강도 저하, 내구성저하현상 및 토사와 유사한 거동을 보이는 등 토목공사에 위험한 요소가 되고 있다. 풍화된 시료엔 대한 실험용 시료 가공이 어렵고 적용 가능한 실험법이 적어 공학적 특성이나 거동을 정량적으로 파악하는 기법이 다른 암종에 비해 극히 제한된다. 현재까지 강도측정과 같은 일반적인 물성의 단순측정보다는 내구성을 분석하는 슬레이킹 내구성 시험 (Slake durability test), Modified Jar test, 팽창율 측정시험 (Swelling test) 등의 정량화 시험법이 주로 사용되고 있으며 국내 현장에서도 적용을 권장할 수 있다. 이러한 실험치의 해석에서 단일 실험치 (예: 팽창율)만으로 지질공학적 특성을 파악하는 경우 잘못된 판단을 할 수도 있으므로, X선 회절분석시험 (XRD: X-Ray Diffraction Test), TG-DTA분석, 주사전자현미경 (SEM: Scanning Electron Microscope) 이미지 분석, 투수계수 측정실험 등도 함께 수행하여 실험결과를 종합적으로 해석하는 것이 바람직하다.
