Indirect tensile strength(IDT) test and resilient modulus(Mr) test were performed to evaluate experimental performance characteristics for the conventional and crumb rubber-modified(CRM) asphalt concrete using dry and wet processes asphalt. The IDT test was conducted under three temperatures(5, 10, 20$^{\circ}C$). According to the test results, it was shown that indirect tensile strength of CRM asphalt concrete was lower than that of the conventional one. However, toughness and maximum vortical strain of the CRM asphalt concrete were higher than those of the conventional one. The results of Mr test were presented that Mr of CRM asphalt concrete was higher than that of the conventional one. In addition, it was revealed that the overall laboratory performance characteristics of the wet-processed CRM asphalt concrete was better than those of the dry-processed one.

This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between the dielectric constant and air void of asphalt concrete. Standard specimens that have air voids of various range $(0%{\sim}20%)$ were used to measure the dielectric constant using parallel plate method that measures low frequency dielectric constant. From the tests, dielectric constant of asphalt concrete was tend to decrease as the frequency was increased, and the decrement slope was varied with the types of asphalt binders. Dielectric constant was decreased linearly as air void was increased from zero to twenty percent. Consequently, the effect of temperature and moisture content on dielectric constants of asphalt concrete was evaluated to develop the standard curve between dielectric constant and air void of asphalt concrete. The standard curve developed in this study can be used to calibrate or develop the algorithm of non-destructive density gauge.

This study was performed to evaluate the characteristics of waste foundry sand (WFS) and the asphalt mixture made of a foundry waste sand. To estimate the applicability of WFS, chemical and physical properties were measured by XRF(X-ray fluorescent), and SEM(Scanning electronic microfilm). To improve the stripping resistance of WFS asphalt mixture, anti-stripping agents (a hydrated lime and a liquid anti-stripping agent) were used. To improve tensile properties and durability of WFS asphalt concrete mixture, LDPE(low-density polyethylene) was used as an asphalt modifier Marshall mix design, indirect tensile strength, tensile strength ratio(TSR) after freezing and thawing, moisture susceptibility and wheel tracking tests were carried out to evaluate performance of WFS asphalt concrete. Comparing with conventional asphalt concrete, WFS asphalt concretes showed similar or the better qualify in mechanical properties, and satisfied all specification limits. Therefore, it Is concluded that waste foundry sand can be recycled as an asphalt pavement material.

The asphalt-concrete trackbed system has many advantages in terms of maintenance and economics. However, methods to investigate practical use corresponding to the development of the trackbed system must be developed. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the dynamic performance of the asphalt system in accordance with both the elastic and viscoelastic material characteristics and design thickness of the asphalt trackbed. More specifically, in order to reduce the uncertainty error of the Finite Element(FE) model, a three-dimensional full scale FE model was developed and then the infinite foundation model was considered. Finally, to compare the condition of viscoelastic materials, performance evaluation of the asphalt-concrete trackbed system was used to deal with the dynamic amplification factors; numerical results using isotropic-elastic materials in the FE analysis are presented.

Many researches have been conducted to evaluate the performance of modified asphalt concrete mixtures. The research was conducted to estimate the laboratory mechanical characteristics of Elvaloy-modified asphalt concrete mixture. To achieve its intended objective, indirect tensile test and resilient modulus test were performed. The rest results revealed that indirect tensile strengths and resilient moduli of the Elvaloy-modified asphalt concrete mixture were higher than those of the conventional dense-graded. As a result, within the limits of the tests conducted in this research, it is predicted that the performance and stability of the Elvaloy-modified asphalt concrete mixture are better than that of the conventional dense-graded one.

This study developed a permanent deformation model for asphalt concrete based on shear properties. Repeated load triaxial compression (RLTC), triaxial compressive strength, and indirect tension strength tests were performed for the three types of asphalt mixtures at various loading and temperature conditions to correlate shear properties of asphalt mixtures to rutting performance. For the given mixtures, as testing temperature increased, cohesion decreased, but friction angle was insensitive to temperature at $40^{\circ}C$ or higher. It was observed that deviatoric stress, confining pressure, temperature, and load frequency affected the permanent deformation of asphalt mixtures significantly. The permanent deformation model based on shear stress to strength ratio and loading time was developed using the laboratory test results and calibrated using accelerated pavement test data. The proposed model was able to predict the permanent deformation of the asphalt mixtures in a wide range of loading and temperature conditions with constant model coefficients.

More than sixty percentage of highway in South Korea were constructed by concrete pavements and more than half of the concrete pavements were twenty years or older. Maintenance and rehabilitation of aged cement concrete pavements required early transportation opening due to difficulty of preparing bypass roads, given South Korea's transportation condition and so far, mostly asphalt concrete overlay has been used. However, asphalt concrete pavement maintenance and rehabilitation is costly because of early damage and at the same time, it causes inconvenience to the road users. Recently, as an effective method of rehabilitation for aged cement concrete pavement, bonded concrete overlay is being attempted. Therefore, utilizing various data on year-by-year basis is needed to rationally analyze of the damage on asphalt concrete overlay and bonded concrete overlay is necessary. However, in South Korea database of Serviceability damage on asphalt concrete overlay and bonded concrete overlay does not exist. In this research, performance is evaluated by the LTPP (Long Term Pavement Performance) Data of U.S.A, which accumulated various damage data of asphalt concrete overlay and bonded concrete overlay. However, the pattern distress of asphalt concrete overlay and bonded concrete overlay are different. Therefore, the pavement distress data of each section is collected into database and distress are calculated PCI(Pavement Condition Index) in order to compare life of asphalt concrete overlay and bonded concrete overlay.

Asphalt concrete track (ACT) is a track system connecting wide sleepers and concrete panels on top of an asphalt concrete layer; such a system requires adequate resistance force against various longitudinal and lateral external loads. In this study, a series of experiments were carried out to assess the longitudinal and lateral resistance force of a wide sleeper and concrete panel type ACT. The required shear resistance force of the horizontal displacement restraint device (HDRD) was evaluated. Furthermore, a concrete block type anchor and a steel pipe type anchor were developed as HDRDs. The shear resistance force was decided based on the experimental results of horizontal shear tests for each anchor system. In addition, proper numbers and arrangement design guidelines for the HDRDs were suggested considering the shear resisting capacity and economics for HDRDs applied to ACT.
