The new asphalt surface reinforcement method (ASRM) is one of the preventive maintenance methods in asphalt concrete pavements. The adhesion performance of new ASRM satisfied the standard of non-slip pavement and bridge waterproofing materials. As a results of durability tests (as wheel load, rolling bottle and UV resistance test), the new ASRM showed sufficient resistance to traffic and environmental loads. The waterproof and chemical resistance tests of new ASRM were conducted to evaluate whether the pavement could be protected from water and chemicals and the performances of new ASRM were satisfactory. Furthermore, the new ASRM demonstrated some rejuvenation effects due to its toughness increases in recycled asphalt concrete mixture by 5% compared to the conventional hot mix asphalt mixture using reclaimed asphalt pavement. In conclusion, the new ASRM was evaluated to protect the asphalt concrete pavement and increase the lifetime.

A study was carried out to improve the field implementation of asphalt surface reinforcement method which is a preventive maintenance. Mean Texture Depth (MTD) was measured to quantify the surface condition and used to determine the optimum application rate. Determining the application rate using MTD can reduce the material loss from 30% to 15%. In order to reduce the curing time to 30 minutes, the heat capacity of $317kcal/m^2$ is required. Therefore, the design capacity of the heating curing device requires more than 380,000 kcal/hr. The asphalt surface reinforcement method is preferably applied at a time when slight cracking occurs before the permanent deformation becomes serious. Through the analysis of the pavement survey data, it was decided to apply the surface reinforcement method at the crack rate of 3~4%. Heating the surface reinforcement agent to $50^{\circ}C$ improves workability and ensures sufficient penetration depth even at a crack width of 1 mm. The results will be utilized as basic data for the development of automated construction equipment for efficiency improvement.

Dewatering mold form get many holes on the surface to drain excessive water from combine concrete. While fiber is adhered to the forms inter surface, that makes it possible to improve concrete workability by draining excess water through the holes. We can expect the outer layer to solidify and to compact and get improvement of concretes durability. Maybe, it is valuable enough that dewatering mold form is put to practical use. On this study, the purpose is to obtain fundamental data for effective dewatering mold and properties of exposed concrete with the form, and ultimately, is to propose practical theory.

This study evaluated the fire resisting capacity and post-fire serviceability of the concrete beams retrofitted by near surface mounted method(NSM) using GFRP plates. Main parameters in the test are grout materials and fire exposure. For the test, two types of grout materials between concrete substrate and GFRP plate were used; flame resisting epoxy and filling mortar. Four RC beam specimens were made and two of them were exposed to fire according to real scale fire curve proposed KS F 2257. After the fire exposure test, flexural test were performed to investigate the flexural performance of concrete beams including strength and deformation. From the test results, it was found that the beam retrofitted by NSM-GFRP presented higher flexural strength than that of the beam without retrofit, which indicates NSM-GFRP retrofit technologies is effective to maintain flexural strength even after fire exposure. In addition, the specimens grouted by epoxy showed good performance in strength but bad performance in ductility.

최근 콘크리트 구조물의 안전성강화를 위해 탄소섬유 강화 플라스틱(CFRP) 보강 공법이 널리 사용되고 있지만 잘 알려진 바와 같이 CFRP 보강재와 콘크리트 표면사이의 부착면 탈락은 보강재 자체의 손상보다 발생할 확률이 높고 이러한 부착면 탈락은 보강의 효과를 무의미하게 만들기 때문에 구조물 전체의 파괴로 직결될 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 CFRP 부착면 탈락손상을 실시간으로 검색하기 위해 압전센서를 사용하는 구조물 건전성 평가 기술을 적용하였다. 이의 검증을 위해 CFRP로 보강된 콘크리트 보를 제작하였고 3단계로 증가하는 부착면 탈락 손상을 발생시켰다. 손상 증가 단계마다 CFRP 표면에 배열된 압전센서로부터 임피던스와 유도초음파 신호를 계측하였고 손상에 따른 신호변화를 정량화하기 위해 손상지수인 RMSD를 계산하였다. 더 구체적인 부착면 탈락 손상위치 탐색을 위해서 두 가지 계측 기법으로부터 구해진 RMSD 값를 중첩시키는 Superposed RMSD 가 제안되었다. 구해진 Superposed RMSD 값을 사용하여 커브 피팅이 수행되었고 도출된 커브의 최고값에 해당하는 위치값을 찾아 실제 손상위치와 비교함으로써 제안된 기법의 가능성을 검증해 보았다.

최근 국지성 호우 및 하천 제방의 노후화로 인한 제방 붕괴 피해가 빈번히 발생하면서 제방의 안정성 및 표면 보강을 위한 다양한 연구가 시도되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 제방 붕괴에 따른 피해 최소화 및 대책을 수립하기 위한 방법으로 시멘트와 같은 지구온난화를 야기시키는 물질이 아닌 친환경 신소재 바이오폴리머를 흙과 혼합한 재료를 활용하여 제방의 내구성을 강화하기 위한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 이에 안동하천실증연구센터에서는 현장토를 사용하여 높이 1 m, 폭 3 m, 사면경사 1 : 2, 총 길이 5 m 의 중규모 제방모형을 제작하였으며, 공동연구기관인 카이스트에서 개발된 바이오폴리머와 흙을 적정 비율로 혼합한 바이오-소일을 제방 전면에 일정 두께로 피복하여 월류 발생에 따른 제방 안정성 평가 실험을 수행하였다. 1차 실험은 흙 제방 조건이며, 2 3차 실험은 제방 표면에 5 cm 두께로 신소재가 피복된 조건으로 안정된 결과 도출을 위해 반복 실험을 수행하였다. 제방 천단면 및 사면에서의 유속분포를 측정하기 위해 드론 및 비디오카메라를 활용한 LSPIV 기법을 적용하여 실험조건에 따른 표면유속과 월류 흐름이 제방 붕괴에 미치는 영향에 대해 비교분석하였다. 또한 그래픽 소프트웨어를 이용한 픽셀기반 영상분석 기법을 적용하여 시간에 따른 제방사면의 붕괴면적을 산정하여 신소재 피복에 따른 붕괴 지연효과 분석을 통한 신소재 활용 제방의 현장 적용가능성 및 안정성을 평가하였다. 본 연구결과, 흙 제방의 경우 월류 흐름 발생 직후 침식현상이 전개되어 유속분포가 집중되고 있었으며, 이후 발생하는 강한 수직흐름으로 인해 입자추적을 통한 분석이 더 이상 불가능하였다. 신소재 제방의 경우 월류 흐름 발생 직후 침식은 발생하지 않았으며 일정시간동안 유속분포가 유지되었다. 지속적인 월류 흐름으로 인해 제방 끝단에서 침식이 발생하였으며 이때 최대 유속은 3.3 m/s 로 나타났다. 또한 픽셀기반 분석을 통해 30초 단위로 표면손실률을 산정한 결과, 신소재 활용 제방(2, 3차)의 경우 같은 실험조건에도 불구하고 최종 붕괴시간은 약 3배의 차이를 보였으며, 양생 과정에서의 크랙 발생을 최소화한다면 월류 발생 시 상당한 붕괴지연효과가 있는 것으로 판단된다.

As a typical construction material, concrete has been used in building all kinds of structures since the late $19^{th}$ century. Although it was recognized to secure durability as long as the regulations on design and construction have been reasonably complied, the trends of life-shortening and deterioration have frequently occurred due to all kinds of the external effects that have been experienced during the procedures of using the structures. To make matters even worse, deterioration of the concrete structures according to deterioration can not be controlled any more. Finally, the reality is that repair and maintenance are necessary in the maintenance aspect of the concrete structure. In this study, CRM(Chemical Resistance of Laminating Reinforcement Method), which had been developed to reinforce the surface of concrete and specially improve chemical resistance performance, has been applied to enhance the existing repairing and maintenance method. Therefore, the result has been drawn with comparison and analysis of the specimens applied with the general repairing and maintenance method and CRM through a variety of durability test in this study. With the result of the test, durability of the specimen applied with CRM has been more improved than the existing repairing and maintenance method, which is judged as because of the laminating effect due to reinforcement of epoxy impregnated of alkali-resistance fiber and double layered fiber reinforced seat.

Concrete surface grinding is frequently used for flatness of concrete surface, concrete pavement rehabilitation, and adhesiveness in pavement construction. The procedure is, however, labor intensive and has a hazardous work condition. Also, the productivity and the quality of concrete surface grinding highly depend on the skills of worker. Thus, the development of remote controlled concrete surface grinding equipment is necessary to prevent the environmental pollution and to protect the workers from hazardous work condition. However, it is difficult to evaluate the grinded surface objectively in a remote controlled system. Also, The machine vision system developed in this study takes the images of grinded surface with the network camera for image processing. Then, by representing the quality test results to the integrated program of the remote control station, the quality control system is constructed. The machine vision algorithm means the image processing algorithm of grinded concrete surface and this paper presents the objective quality control standard of grinded concrete surface through the application of the suggested algorithm.

In this study, the bond strength of metal spraying system by surface treatment of concrete (waterproof/corrosion method) in water treatment facilities was evaluated. The results showed that the system with Sa-P-R-(S) (sanding-perviousness surface hardener-surface roughness agent-metal spraying-sealing) led to the desirable performance. The bond strength, the coefficient of water permeability and air permeability were 3.7MPa, $0.68{\ast}10^{-8}cm/sec$, and $0.45{\ast}10^{-16}m^2$, respectively. In scanning electron microscope analysis, the microstructure of specimen coated with perviousness surface hardener was much denser than that without it. Therefore, the specimen coated with sanding-perviousness surface hardener-surface roughness agent-metal spraying-sealing had the best bond performance and was the most suitable system to concrete surface in water treatment facilities.
