The purpose of field monitoring system in KHC-Test Road is to provide the performance data for environmental loadings from pavement surface. Among them, water content reflectometer(WCR) are used for measuring the volumetric water content of pavement subgrades. However, WCRs are not well-calibrated based on the local field conditions. A need therefore exists for improving equations for predicting water content using the proper field and laboratory calibrations. Based on the study performed, calibrations based on various soil characteristics and density conditions are well fitted to the data from fields. So, it is recommended to use the suggested general calibration of WCR to the compacted subgrade soils in test road for predicting the volumetric water content.

In this study, effects of the density of soil and the confining pressure applied to the soil sample on the elastic moduli of subgrade soils are experimentally analyzed. Through investigation of subgrade materials of domestic expressways, five typical types of subgrade soils are selected for the experiments. A series of unconsolidated undrained triaxial tests is performed on samples prepared with various water contents and densities at the confining pressures of 1.02, 2.04, and $3.06kg/cm^2$. Initial tangent modulus is inferred from the unloading-reloading portion of the stress strain curve obtained during an individual loading-unloading-reloading test. As a result of the analysis, it is found that the effect of the confining pressure on the elastic modulus of subgrade material is well consistent with the equation proposed by Janbu, and that the elastic modulus can be related to the dry unit weight expressing the Janbu constants as exponentiial functions of it. It is also found that the water content has little effect on the elastic modulus for the samples with the degree of saturation less than 70%.

To evaluate the deformational characteristics of subgrade soils, four subgrade samples in Korea were tested using the RC and TS tests with various dry unit weight and water content. Both the maximum modulus and normalized modulus reduction curves of subgrade soils were affected by the dry unit weight. The normalized modulus was decreased about 20% with increasing of relative compaction of 5%. It was founded that the variations of modulus of subgrade soils in Korea were over 40% with water content variation of $\pm$2%, and those effects can be estimated by exponential model. However, the normalized modulus reduction curves were almost identical and independent of water content. It was also founded that confining pressure, loading frequency, dry unit weight, and water content have an affect on modulus of subgrade soils independently. Therefore, it can be considered that those effects are independent variables.

In many countries including Korea, the design concept of pavement structure has been converted from empirical method to mechanisticempirical method since the advent of compaction control based on resilient modulus proposed by AASHTO in 1986. Studies of last decades indicates that the classical compaction control method based on relative compaction and plate bearing test(PBT) will necessarily move to the methods taking advantage of light falling weight deflectometer(LFWD) and dynamic cone penetrometer(DCP) in addition to PBT. In this study, the validity of resilient modulus prediction equation proposed by Korean Pavement Design Guide is verified by comparison with physical properties of subgrade soil and the results of structural analysis. In addition, correlational equations between elastic modulus measured by various field tests and resilient modulus estimated by empirical model are proposed. Finally, a field test-based compaction control procedure for subgrade is suggested by using proposed correlational equations.

Application of resilient modulus, representing mechanical behavior of pavement materials, has become general concept for pavement design, analysis and maintenance after '86 AASHTO selected it as a basic input property of subgrade. It is known that resilient modulus of domestic subgrade soil is affected greatly by material factors, such as water content and dry weight unit, and stress components, such as deviatoric stress and confining stress, while effects of loading frequency and loading repeat were regarded negligible. If design based on resilient modulus is to be successfully implemented, design input variables of relevant models should be able to reflect local conditions. In this study, generalized mechanical model for subgrade is proposed. Model parameters are estimated from test results. Verification of the model was performed through finite element analysis using the proposed model, which showed good agreement with measured results of pavement deflections.

타이어의 실노면상에서의 트랙션성능을 측정, 평가하는것은 자동차의 발진, 가속, 제동 및 시회성능의 점으로브터 중요하면 이것을 측정하기 위해서 타이어 트랙션시험차를 개발했다. 이시험차는 타이어의트랙션성능을 미끄럼율과제동, 구동계수의 관계, 횡화각과 사이드포오스계수, 어라이닝토루크의 관계로 측정되는 특장을 갖는다. 이시험차를 이용해서, 건조및 습윤아스팔트노상과 설노상에서의 트랙션성능에 대한 타이어트랫드의 기본적 페턴의영향을 측정한 결과, 다음과 같은 지견을 얻었다. (1)도로의 상태의 상위에 의한 타이어트랙션 성능은 건조상태에선 습윤상태보다 크며 노설상에선 전양자보다 훨씬 작다. (2)트랫드의 종방향의 구본수의 영향에 대해선 여하한 노면상태에서든 구본수가 증가한만큼 트랙션성능은 증가하나 어느구본수에선 포화하는 경향이 있다. (3)설노상에서의 트랫드의 구각도에 대해서는 구의각도가 타이어의 진행방향에 대해서 직각의 페턴이 좋다고 할 수 있다.

Recently, the rational methods of pavement design and analysis using the resilient modulus, MR, as fundamental input material property have been increasingly adopted in major advanced countries. Since the development of 1986 AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures, many researches concerning the resilient characteristics of various pavement materials as well . as development of reliable testing methods have been actively performed. Anticipating the use of Mn-based pavement design and analysis such as resilient characteristics and Mn - CBR relat - ionship of domestic subgrade soils were performed including development of a standard MR test procedure suitable for subgrade soils in our country.

본 연구에서는 울산 삼산지역의 도시 개발로 인하여 다량 발생되고 있는 건설잔토의 유효이용을 목적으로 대상토에 생석회와 화학 첨가제를 혼합하여 안정처리를 할 경우 보조기층 및 노상용 재료로써의 사용 가능성을 평가하였다. 1가 이온($Na^{+}$, $K^{+}$)가 2가 이온(Ca$^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$), 염화물(Cl)과 황산염(So$_4$)으로 구성된 화학 첨가제의 첨가에 따른 일축압축강도를 비교한 결과, 1가 이온의 첨가시 장기강도 발현이 우수한 것으로 나타났고, 염화물(Cl)은 첨가시 강도 발현이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 건설잔토에 생석회와 CaCl$_2$를 첨가하면, 생석회로 처리된 시료에 비해 2배~4배의 강도가 증가되어 생석회 안정화에 대한 효과가 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 원시료토에 생석회, 생석회와 화학 첨가제로 안정처리하여 도로의 보조기층재료나 노상용 재료로의 사용여부를 평가한 결과, 생석회와 CaCl$_2$로 안정처리한 경우만이 시방기준 CBR 10%이상, 소성지수 10%이하를 만족시켜 노상용 재료로서의 사용가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.
