Cement treated Soil has superior characteristics as pavement-base including strength, curability, hardness, freezing resistance. However drying shrinkage of Cement treated base has been indicated as disadvantage, since reflection crack of surface layer is induced from drying shrinkage of cement treated base. This study propriety about low-shrinkage cement treated base that can control shrinkage of cement and control reflection crack at asphalt overlay & concrete slab.

PURPOSES: This study is to find the substantial shortcomings embedded in the government policies and practical administrative processes associated with the Korean Transportation Database (KTDB) and to propose preliminary approaches to overcome. METHODS: Administrative and socioeconomic issues on inefficiency in public and private investment and redemption was found from the literature review. Through the interview of sets of experts and practitioners, a set of faultiness embodied in the administrative procedure utilizing and managing KTDB was found and analyzed. RESULTS: This study found the erroneous administrative elements categorized into four groups: faulty socioeconomic data supporting local governors's optimistic will yielded overestimation of future traffic demand; faulty data incidentally introduced in KTDB burdened traffic demand analysis; unavoidable misuse of KTDB worsened the unstability of KTDB; and apathy to manage the KTDB data deviated systematic management. The proposed includes the alteration of the administrative and technical systems to overcome those shortcomings. CONCLUSIONS : Erroneous administrative elements associated with KTDB should be concerned prior to indicating subsequential faultiness in demand analysis.

Deflections of jointed concrete pavements at test road are monitored during 48 hours. And methods of calibration with respect to curling deflections are suggested. Relations between deflection ratio of center to joint at test time and deflection ratio of center at test time to center at reference time are described by regression. From deflections at test time, deflections transformed to reference time which gives minimum deflections in a day are estimated through regression curves and concluded to propose as a alternative method of curling calibration with more data accumulation.

Railroads and roads are typical linear projects, and their networks are expanding nationwide. To minimize the impact of their development on the environment, ecological disconnection due to the parallel lines of railroads and roads is to be avoided as much as possible. In this study, to examine the environmental impact of railroad and road development, the characteristics of railroads and roads and the differences between them were examined through a comparative analysis of key evaluation items. Based on the result, the road development, unlike the railroad project, suggests items for establishing an efficient land use plan and soil protection as the key evaluation items. There are no specific evaluation items and criteria that can be used to examine the environmental impact of railroad lines located adjacent to roads. In this study, eight evaluation items were suggested by reviewing the relevant literature. In particular, in the strategic environmental impact assessment stage, which examines the adequacy and location feasibility of the plan, the minimum separation distance criteria were proposed to examine in advance the environmental impact of railroads located adjacent to the existing roads. The distances were examined for the previously operated routes, and a distance of less than 200 m was suggested to minimize the environmental impact. The results were compared with those in other studies and analyzed. The results of this study can be used as a basis for examining alternative routes that can minimize the environmental impact of adjacent railroads and roads.

This study aims at establishing the decision-making support system for the highway assets, long-term performance presumption and evaluation of asset value, which are appropriate for Korea, and proposing the methods of the optimal engineering method and the timing decision for the preventive maintenance through the project evaluation, the optimization method and life-cycle analysis related to the highways. In order to supplement the current problem of the near-sighted budget management system, which chooses the maintenance place of the highway, depending on the level of the budget with fixed amount, the long-term required budget prediction system and the economy principle were introduced, so that the pavement agency can predict the level of the required budget, and it was aimed to develop the pavement asset evaluation system to maintain the performance of the highway with the minimum of the cost. In the use of the highway pavement asset evaluation system, to maintain the appropriate level of the pavement evaluation index, when the budget was efficiently established in the reference of the required maintenance budget for the chosen section of the highway in the year concerned, it was possible to analyze the most rational pavement maintenance budget. With this result, it is estimated to prevent the unnecessary waste of budget in advance, and through the development of the decision-making system for the long-term performance presumption and the asset value estimation of the pavement, it is expected to able to analyze the previous evaluation of the project related to the highway and the feasibility of introduction.

The term, travel-time reliability, refers to variations in journey time that travelers cannot predict. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a standard way to measure travel time reliability. A modified buffer time indicator is proposed. The index is represented by the difference between planned and actual travel times based on lognormal type travel time distribution. Using this framework, a constant function for railways and a negative parabola function for roads are discussed. The model developed is applied to the real data of Korean road and rail usages to empirically verify the methodology proposed. In this process, the unit value of travel time reliability for each group is estimated. The result of this research is expected to be helpful of conducting more cautious economic feasibility studies of transport.

It is conducted to analyze vibration loads on the 1st stage of KSR-III(KSR : Korea Sounding Rocket) during their ground transportation and various handling process. These loads may be different from the real flight environment. Inadequate assessment of these loads can cause not only local damages on the rocket system but also the critical problem like flight mission failure. Therefore, transportation and handling loads must be considered during design and attenuated to ensure that the rocket structural damage does not occur. This work is concerned with the generation of criteria and prediction of transportation and handling loads for KSR-III. The results show that the shipping container is well designed to satisfy the design requirements. The maximum vibration level recorded during whole transportation and handling for KSR-III is less than 2g, the criteria of KSR-III movement condition.

여러 관광자원 중에서도 동굴은 지하에 분포하고 있기 때문에 특이하며, 일반 관광자원보다 사람들에게 관심이 높고 견인력이 큰 자원이어서. 최근들어 동굴은 레크리에이션 장소로도 각광받고 있다. 이런 특성을 지닌 동굴 중에서 강원도 영월군 서면에 위치한 동정굴은 도로상에 입지하고 있으며, 부근에 자연풍치자원 이외에도 사적자원, 산업자원 등이 산재하고 있어 관광 개발에 유리한 입지로 판단된다. 특히 평창강의 심한 곡류, 우뚝 솟은 하식애 등의 하천지형과 지표면의 카르스트 지형 및 동굴 내부의 2차 생성물들은 동정굴을 지형지물의 전시장이며 자연학습의 현장이라는 특성을 지닌 관광지로 개발할 수 있는 전망을 제시하고 있다. 따라서 동정굴 지역을 주변의 각종 관광자원을 유기적으로 연결시키는 역할을 담당하도록 개발해야 하겠다.

This study carries out to evaluate the value of introducing the road guard system that merges the function of a fence that induces wild animals and a grass inhibitor to an existing guard rail that acts as road safety facilities. For this purpose, we surveyed that road user's willingness-to-pay and recognition characteristics for road safety facilities using contingent valuation Method. By establishing a willingness-to-pay assumption model, the average willingness-to-pay was 5,018 won, which was higher than the average proposed amount of 3,883 won and shows that the road guard system is an appropriate alternative facility to increase road safety and reduce road kills. Therefore, it would be prudent to review the introduction of the road guard system to newly constructed roads or current roads in operation as a way of reducing road kills. In the future, the road guard system must be tested in areas that are highly susceptible to road kills after consulting with the relevant highway managing authorities to conduct a comparison study on the before and after installation effect of the road guard system to investigate its operation and the current status of road kills to clearly identify its effectiveness.
