The in-situ Compaction test using sand cone (RC) and Plate Bearing Capacity Test (PBT) has been widely used for evaluating the subgrade and subbase condition on the pavement system. However, because the in-situ RC and PBT test are expensive and take plenties of time for operation, these are very difficult to figure out the in-situ characteristics of subgrade and subbase strength in detail. Therefore, for faster and economical operation, this study is to compare the Light Falling Weight Tests and propose the LFWD test as the in-situ Compaction test. This study suggests the relationship between in-situ RC value, $K_{30}$, $M_R$ and $E_{LFWD}$ of the subgrade and subbase materials in Korea using the laboratory and in-situ testing.

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.

최근 아스팔트 혼합물의 배합설계법은 기존에 주로 사용하던 빔 및 마샬 배합설계법에서 수퍼페이브 배합설계법으로 점차적으로 바뀌고 있는 추세이다. 수퍼페이브의 배합설계과정에서 중요한 사항 중의 하나는 선회다짐기를 사용하는 다짐방법이다. 아스팔트 포장은 노상 위에 보조기층, 기층, 표층의 순으로 구성되는데 노상은 포장 아래 약 1.0 m의 흙부분으로 포장과 일체로 구성되며 포장체에 작용하는 하중을 최종적으로 지지하는 층이다. 따라서, 수퍼페이브 배합설계법에서 사용하는 선회다짐기를 포장과 일체로 구성되는 노상의 다짐시험에도 적용한다면 각각의 포장층에 같은 원리의 다짐방법을 적용한다는 큰 의미가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 본 논문에서는 일반 노상토에 시멘트와 플라이애시를 첨가한 강화노상토를 선회다짐기를 이용하여 시편을 제작하였고, 각 시편에 대한 탄성계수를 1축압축시험, 공진주시험, LFWD를 이용해 각각 측정하여 각 결과물들의 상관관계를 추정하고자 한다.

The range of stresses experienced in subgrade soils and subbase materials in pavement under working stress conditions is below about 150㎪. Therefore, the deformational characteristics of soils at low confining pressures are important properties in the analysis and design of pavement system. Subgrade soils and subbase materials were collected from the actual pavement projects for testing. To evaluate the effect of confining pressure on modulus of those materials at low confining pressures, RC and FFRC tests were performed. Interestingly, the relationship between modulus of soils and confining pressure is more appropriate in linear space than in logarithm space at low confining pressure. Based on those results, new model fur evaluating the effects of confining pressure on modulus at low confining pressures was proposed.

This paper presents a theoretical approach for estimation of CBR-value of subbase course and subgrade using a portable pavement dynamic cone penetrometer(PDCP). The PDCP used in this paper was based on a design from South Africa and extensive studies by Kleyn(1982) and more recently by Liveneh and Ishai(1987) and Chua(1988). To date, California Bearing Ratio[CBR] value was studied mainly for application of pavement structural design. This study was initiated to develop a method of obtaining the in situ CBR-values of subbase and subgrade for the structural evaluation of pavements in the swift and inexpensive manner. PDCP tests were implemented at 20 different kinds of soil samples in the lab and test results were analysed by a theoretical approach introduced. The procedure presented provides acceptable and promising results.

The purpose of this study is to present the resonable guideline of asphalt concrete pavements in apartment complex. To achieve this purpose was performed review of domestic and foreign guidelines, investigation of main distresses of asphalt concrete pavement, and structural analysis for the investigated cross-sections of the pavements in apartment complex. According to results of structural analysis, this study presented the standard cross-section of the pavement with subbase of 20cm, asphalt base of 5cm, and surface of 5cm in apartment complex. In urban areas, traffic is generally opened after asphalt base course is placed because of civil complaint by dust. Surface course is placed after all of work are completed. Considering these conditions, this study also presented the standard cross-section of the pavement with subbase of 20cm, asphalt base of 7cm, and surface of 5cm for urban areas that expect civil complaints by dust.

A condition evaluation procedure for the pavement foundations using multi-load level Falling Weight Deflectometer(FWD) deflections is presented in this paper. A dynamic finite element program incorporating a stress-dependent material model, was used to generate the synthetic deflection database. Based on this synthetic database, the relationships between surface deflections and critical responses, such as stresses and strains in base and subgrade layers, have been established. FWD deflection data, Dynamic Cone Penetrometer(UP) data, and repeated load resilient modulus testing results used in developing this procedure were collected from the Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) and North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) database. Research effort focused on investigation of the effect of the FWD load level on the condition evaluation procedures. The results indicate that the proposed procedure can estimate the pavement foundation conditions. It is also found that structurally adjusted Base Damage Index (BDI) and Base Curvature Index (BCI) are good indicators for the prediction of stiffness characteristics of aggregate base and subgrade respectively. A FWD test with a load of 66.7 kN or less does not improve the accuracy of this procedure. Results from the study for the nonlinear behavior of a pavement foundations indicate that the deflection ratio obtained from multi-load level deflections can predict the type and quality of the pavement foundation materials.

The objectives of this paper are to develop the structural condition evaluation technique using Falling Weight Deflectometer deflections and propose the structural condition criteria for asphalt pavements. To figure out correlation between surface deflections and critical pavement responses, the synthetic database has been established using the finite element pavement structural analysis program. A regression approach was adopted to develop the pavement response model that can be used to compute the stresses and strains within pavement structure using the FWD deflections. Based on the pavement response model, the procedure for assessing the structural condition of pavement layers was proposed in this study. To validate the condition evaluation procedure for asphalt pavements, the FWD test, dynamic cone penetrometer test, and repeated triaxial compression test were conducted on 11 sections of national highway and 8 sections of local road. Test results indicate that the tensile strain at the bottom of AC layer and AC elastic modulus were good indicators for estimating the stiffness characteristics of AC layer. For subbase layer, the BDI value and compressive strain on top of the subbase layer were appropriate to predict the structural capacity of subbase layer. The BCI value and compressive strain on top of the subgrade were found to be good indicators for evaluating the structural condition of the subgrade. The evaluation criteria for structural condition in asphalt pavements was also proposed in this paper.
