골재입도시험은 건설관련 전공교육에서 반드시 필요한 골재입도 시험결과에 대한 특정목적의 정확성을 평가하는 연구이다. 본 연구는 골재 함수비가 골재 입도 분석에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 아스팔트 플랜트 콜드빈과 야적장에 저장된 골재의 함수비 변화를 1년간 모니터링하여, 그 결과를 기초로 함수비가 다른 골재 샘플을 제작하였다. 각 골재 샘플에 대한 입도 곡선을 분석하여 골재 함수비가 골재 입도 분석에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 입도평가결과, 함수비가 높아짐에 따라 오븐 건조 골재의 입도 분석에서 5 mm 이하의 입자에 대한 입자 크기의 오차가 증가하였으며, 이 오차는 입자 크기가 작아질수록 증가함을 확인하였다. 또한 5 mm 이상의 골재 입자에 대해서는 이러한 함수비 증가에 따른 입도 분석의 오차가 급격히 작아지는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 비 절건 상태의 골재에 대한 입도분석의 오차가 아스팔트 플랜트 내 핫빈 골재 관리에 미치는 영향에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과, 일반적인 아스팔트 플랜트에서 첫 번째 핫빈의 최소 골재 크기는 2.38 mm 이상이므로, 비 절건상태 골재로 인한 최대 입도 오차는 2% 미만인 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서 아스팔트 혼합물 생산품질관리를 위하여 콜드빈 비 절건상태 골재의 입도시험 결과를 사용하는 것은 가능해 보인다.

PURPOSES : The use of environmentally friendly construction methods has been recently encouraged to reduce fuel consumption and the effects of global warming. For this purpose, the roller compacted concrete pavement (RCCP) construction method has been developed. RCCP is more environmentally friendly and economically efficient than general concrete by reducing the amount of CO2 generated through the application of a smaller amount of cement. RCCP has a number of advantages such as an easy construction method, low cost, high structural hydration performance, and aggregate interlocking. However, mix design standards and construction guidelines of RCCP are required for domestic application. In addition, a study on aggregate selection, which has an effect on the characteristics of RCCP, is necessary owing to a limited number of researches. Thus, the aggregate effect on the performance of RCCP in securing the required strength and workability was evaluated in consideration of domestic construction. METHODS : Sand and coarse aggregates of both 19mm and 13mm in maximum size were used in this study. Four types of aggregate gradations (s/a = 30%, 58%, and 70% for the sand and coarse aggregate of 19mm in maximum size, and s/a = 50% for a combination of the three types of aggregates) were set up to investigate the effects of the PCA band on the RCC characteristics. The conditions of s/a = 30% and 70% were evaluated to check the gradation effect outside of the recommended band. The conditions of s/a = 58% and 50% were used because they are the optimum combination of the two and three types of aggregates, respectively. RCCP gradation band was suggested gradation with a proper construction method of RCCP by synthetically comparing and analyzing the correlation of optimum water content, maximum dry density, and strength of requirements through its consistency and compaction test. RESULTS : The lower and upper limit lines are insufficient to secure a relatively strong development and workability compared to an aggregate gradation in the RCCP gradation band region. On the other hand, the line in the RCCP gradation band and the 0.45 power curve in the RCCP gradation band region were satisfactory, ensuring the required strength and workability. CONCLUSIONS : The suitable aggregate gradation on RCCP process should meet the RCCP gradation band area; however, fine particles passing through a #60 sieve do not need to be within the recommended gradation band because the influence of this region on such fine particles is small.

제강슬래그 골재를 사용한 박층 아스팔트 포장공법을 위해 10 mm 밀입도 아스팔트 혼합물의 골재 입도기준을 제시하고자 하였다. 기존 WC-1, WC-3과 같은 밀입도 아스팔트 혼합물의 골재 입도기준은 퓰러모델에 의해 제시되었으나 10 mm 밀입도 아스팔트의 경우 최대밀도선과 유사한 입도를 얻게 되어 부드러운 혼합물이 되는 경향을 나타내었다. 국외 입도기준을 참고하여 골재 맞물림과 최소 골재간극률을 확보하기 유리한 입도를 제시하였다. 제시된 입도의 검증을 위해 골재 입도특성지표인 입도비(GR)와 골재다짐밀도(CAD)를 사용하여 혼합물 물성과의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 골재 입도 및 다양한 특성을 반영할 수 있는 CAD 지표의 $R^2$가 0.86~0.99로 매우 높게 나타났다. CAD 지표를 이용하여 다양한 골재 입도를 검토한 결과 제시 입도기준이 마샬안정도와 VMA 등 배합설계 인자에 보다 안정적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 균열저항성 향상을 위해 0.3 mm 이하 골재의 통과중량백분율을 10% 이상으로 제한함으로서 터프니스가 약 15% 향상되어 효과적임을 확인 할 수 있었다.

As a notion of environment protection changes throughout the world, construction engineers, as part of the effort to resolve environmental problems, have been actively doing research on environmental friendly porous concrete using large and non-uniform aggregate. Porous Concrete enables water and air to pass through a firmly hardened material and allows required nutrients to reach roots of plants. The purpose of this study is to analyze planting ability when the change of aggregate gradation and void ratio. The results of an experiment from the planting ability of the porous concrete to its influence on the compressive strength are reported in this paper. As a result of the experiment, the compressive strength is higher when the gradation of aggregate is smaller, and it also goes higher when the void ratio gets smaller The planting ability of porous concrete is decided by the germination and the grass length of Indigofera pseudo-tinctoria(IPT). The length of IPT is longer when the gradation of aggregate is greater and the void ratio gets smaller.

Aggregate gradation effects on cracking-related displacements of concrete are investigated in the laboratory using the German cracking frame. Concrete workability was assessed by use of the slump and drop tests for two different concrete mixtures consisting of gap-graded and dense-graded aggregates. Shrinkage strain, cracking frame strain, and concrete strain were measured and used to compare to strength gain and creep development. The measured and calculated strains of the different aggregate gradations were compared each other. Gradation effects on strength and stress development relative to tensile cracking at saw-cut tip were also investigated. Test results revealed that the gap-graded concrete has indicated larger shrinkage and creep strains than dense-grade concrete perhaps because of its higher volume concrete of cement mortars in the mixture.

Grading of aggregate influences significantly almost all of the concrete performances. The purpose of this paper is to propose practicable equations that express the optimized total aggregate gradation, by weight or by number of particles in a concrete mix. The principle is based on the fractal feature of the grading of combined aggregate in a solid skeleton of concrete. Therefore, equations are derived based on the so-called fractal dimension of the grain size distribution of aggregates. Obtained model was then applied in such a way a correlation between some properties of the dry concrete mix and the fractal dimension of the aggregate gradation has been built. This demonstrates that the parameter fractal dimension is an efficacious tool to establish a unified model to study the solid phase of concrete in order to design aggregate gradation to meet certain requirements or even to predict some characteristics of the dry concrete mixture.

PURPOSES : To ensure appropriate RCC properties with sufficient strength development and workability, it is necessary to secure a proper level of consistency. It is also necessary to secure maximum dry density, which is an important factor for increasing the interaction of aggregate interlocking, leading to an augmentation of RCC strength. On the other hand, the dry density of RCC can be changed owing to the compaction conditions, water content, and particle size distribution. A Proctor test and a modified Proctor test were used for determining the optimum water content needed to achieve maximum dry density with different amounts of compaction energy. A Vebe test, on the other hand, was used for checking the level of consistency, which is important for producing a workable mixture. METHODS : To confirm the degree of compaction at various particle sizes, RCC mixtures with different sand/aggregate ratios were evaluated. The Proctor test and modified Proctor test were applied to these mixtures to check the effect of the aggregate gradation and compaction energy on the maximum dry density and optimum water content. During each test, three specimens were produced for all types of water content under each aggregate gradation. A compaction curve and the optimum water content and maximum dry density for each aggregate gradation were then obtained for both tests. The range of water content for the appropriate consistency of each aggregate gradation was determined through a Vebe test. The optimum water content was then evaluated based on this range. RESULTS : The compaction test results show that the modified Proctor test provides a higher maximum dry density and lower optimum water content compared with the standard Proctor test. For the modified Proctor test, two cases of aggregate gradation (s/a = 30% and 70%) had the optimum water contents outside of the appropriate water content range. For the standard Proctor test, on the other hand, none of aggregate gradations provided the optimum water content within the desired range. CONCLUSIONS : The modified Proctor test should be used for an RCC mixture design because it can provide adequacy between maximum dry density and consistency. Moreover, the compaction roller has become highly developed for higher compaction energy.

OBJECTIVES : This study is to develop the optimum mixing proportions for cement concrete pavement with using recycled aggregates. METHODS : The mixture varied recycled coarse aggregates content from 50 % to 100 % to replace the natural coarse aggregates by weight. Tests for fundamental properties as a cement concrete pavement were conducted before and after hardening of the concrete. RESULTS : It was found that the variation in the amount of the recycled aggregate affected the compressive and flexural strength development, as well as the chloride ion penetration resistance. As the amount of the recycled aggregate content increased the compressive and flexural strength and the resistance to chloride ion penetration decreased. However, the resistance to freeze-thaw reaction was affected significantly. In addition, the gradation of the aggregate became worse and hence so did the coarseness factor as the recycled aggregate amount increased. CONCLUSIONS : The fundamental properties of the concrete with recycled aggregate does not seem to be appropriate when the recycled aggregate quality is not guaranteed up to a some level and its replacement ratio is over 50%. The optimized gradation of the aggregates should also be sought when the recycled aggregate is used for the cement concrete pavement materials.

최근 환경보존에 대한 인식전환이 범세계적으로 확산되고 있는 가운데 건설기술자들은 환경문제를 해결하기 위한 일환으로 콘크리트에 잔골재를 사용하지 않고 불연속 입도의 굵은 골재를 사용한 환경친화적 건설재료인 다공질콘크리트에 주목하려 다양한 방면에서 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 환경친화적인 식생용 포러스콘크리트를 제조하기 위한 기초적 연구로서, 골재입도와 페이스트골재비 및 산업부산물의 혼입에 따른 식생용 포러스콘크리트의 물리ㆍ역학적 특성과 식생능력을 평가하였다. 시험결과 골재입도가 감소함에 따라, 페이스트골재비가 증가함에 따라 압축강도는 증가하였으며, 공극률은 점차 감소하였다. 식생능력 평가 결과 씨앗 파종후 30일까지는 골재입도 및 페이스트골재비에 관계없이 동일한 생육양상을 보였으나, 30일 이후에서는 골재입도가 줄어듬에 따라, 페이스트골재비가 증가함에 따라 초장이 감소하였으며, 특히 5~10mm골재를 사용한 경우에는 10~20 mm 20~30mm 입도의 골재를 사용한 경우보다 현저히 초장이 줄어드는 경향이 나타났다.

PURPOSES : This study determined the optimal usage rate of RAP (reclaimed asphalt pavement) using cold central-plant recycling (CCPR) on a road-surface layer. In addition, a mixture-aggregate gradation design and a curing method based on the proposed rate for the surface-layer mix design were proposed. METHODS : First, current research trends were investigated by analyzing the optimum moisture content, mix design, and quality standards for surface layers in Korea and abroad. To analyze the aggregate characteristics of the RAP, its aggregate-size characteristics were analyzed through the combustion asphalt content test and the aggregate sieve analysis test. Moreover, aggregate-segregation experiments were performed to examine the possibility of RAP aggregate segregation from field compaction and vehicle traffic. After confirming the RAP quality standards, coarse aggregate and fine aggregate, aggregate-gradation design and quality tests were conducted for mixtures with 40% and 50% RAP usage. The optimum moisture content of the surface-layer mixture containing RAP was tested, as was the evapotranspiration effect on the surface-layer mixture of the optimum moisture content. RESULTS : After analyzing the RAP recycled aggregate size and extraction aggregate size, 13-8mm aggregate was found to be mostly 8mm aggregate after combustion. After using surface-chipping and mixing methods to examine the possibility of RAP aggregate segregation, it was found that the mixing method contributed very little for 3.32%, and because the surface-chipping method applied compaction energy directly as the maximum assumption the separation ratio was 15.46%. However, the composite aggregate gradation did not change. Using a 40% RAP aggregate rate on the surface-layer mixture for cold central-plant recycling satisfied the Abroad quality standard. The optimum moisture content of the surface-layer mixture was found to be 7.9% using the modified Marshall compaction test. It was found that the mixture was over 90% cured after curing at $60^{\circ}C$ for two days. CONCLUSIONS : To use the cold central-plant recycling mixture on a road-surface layer, a mixture-aggregate gradation design was proposed as the RAP recycled aggregate size without considering aggregate segregation, and the RAP optimal usage rate was 40%. In addition, the modified Marshall compaction test was used to determine the optimum moisture content as a mix-design parameter, and the curing method was adapted using the method recommended by Asphalt Recycling & Reclaiming Association (ARRA).
