This study analyzed the causes of frost damage and freezing depth for concrete ballast sites in the Gangwon mountainous area, which has a high freezing index, and considered the equation for freezing depth in concrete roadbeds. Comparing the freezing depth tendencies of concrete roadbeds in the Gangwon mountainous area and Gangwon area, it was found that the freezing depth of concrete roadbeds was higher than that of the Gangwon area when the freezing index was less than 400. However, in sections with a freezing index greater than 400, the freezing depth was higher in the Gangwon area than in the concrete roadbeds. This study proposed an equation for computing the freezing depth in the Gangwon area to provide basic data for establishing preventive measures against frost damage during railway and road construction projects in the Gangwon region.

현재 도로 포장 설계시 동결심도의 결정은 30년간 관측한 기상자료 분석을 통해서 얻은 동결지수를 근거로 하여 동결심도를 산정한다. 그러나 기후 온난화 현상 등 변화된 기상조건과 대기온도를 근거로 작성된 동결지수와 대기온도에 따른 실제 포장 내부의 온도 변화를 반영하지 못하고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 설계시 산정된 동결심도와 실제 현장의 동결심도의 차이를 확인하기 위하여 한반도 북부지역을 동결지수에 따라 동결지수 $550{\sim}650^{\circ}C{\cdot}$일, $450{\sim}550^{\circ}C{\cdot}$일, $350{\sim}450^{\circ}C{\cdot}$일, $350^{\circ}C{\cdot}$일 이하로 구분하여 15개 지역을 선정하였고, 각 지역별로 절토부, 절성경계부, 저성토부(2m 이하 성토부) 구간으로 45단면을 구분하여 현장계측시스템을 구축하였다. 그리고 현장계측시스템으로부터 얻어진 대기온도와 포장층별 온도를 이용하여 현장 동결심도를 산정하고 동결심도 산정식의 동결심도와 비교하였다. 또한, 현장 동결심도를 이용하여 동결심도선도를 작성하였다.

The study was focused on the development of computational scheme in three dimensional configurations by applying effective heat capacity model to the numerical procedure in order to predict the temperature profiles of a buried pipeline and the frozen penetration depth(FPD) of a freezing soil medium. To realize this, the investigator conducted the unsteady state heat transfer analysis, using the commercial code ABAQUS, for the freezing granite soil medium including a pipeline in a closed system. The proposed model took into consideration the phase change effect of in situ pore water in the frozen fringe. The comparison of results obtained by the proposed model and the actual performances was valuable in establishing a level of confidence in the application of introduced theory.

Korea has the ground which freezes in winter and melts in warmer seasons by turns. Therefore, in designing civil-structures or buildings on such ground, the depth of seasonal frost penetratio must be considered. In this paper, approximate contours of the maximum depth of frost penetration in Korea is presented. It was found that the maximum depth of frost penetration did not have the linear relationship to square root of the freezing index. In order to establish more reliable method to estimate the maximum depth of frost penetration, a new empirical equation is introduced. In the presented equation, the dry unit weight and water content of soil are considered in addition to the freezing index. And the equation is compared with other previous equations used so far.

Experimental ballast track and concrete track were installed on the railway site and the frost penetration depth and the frost heave amount in the winter were measured. As a result, when the freezing index was the same, the frost penetration depth of concrete track was deeper than that of ballast track. Furthermore, when an XPS and polyethylene aggregate layer was installed below the ballast track, the frost penetration depth of the ballast track decreased significantly; in the case of the concrete track, the frost penetration depth decreased when the thickness of the subbase increased. Meanwhile, the frost heave amount also decreased when an XPS and polyethylene aggregate layer was installed below the ballast track ; in the case of the concrete track, the frost heave amount decreased when the thickness of the subbase increased.

To prevent the lowering of structural capability due to freezing and thawing in cold winter, numerous researches on frost heaving have been performed. As the result, the freezing index contour map of the Korea peninsula has been made for the design of the anti-freezing layer of pavements. However, the validity of the anti-freezing layer needs to be evaluated because systematic investigations on the variation of freezing depth with the thickness and material types of pavement layers and the configuration of the ground have been rarely performed. The freezing index of the Korea Highway Corporation test road site was calculated and the freezing depths of the concrete and asphalt pavements of the test road were investigated using the ambient and pavement temperature and water content. In addition, the investigated freezing depths were compared to the values estimated by existing freezing depth models. This is the preliminary study on the freezing-related data measured at the test road. The results with higher reliability will be produced by the long-term accumulation of the data and the analysis on it.
