본 연구에서는 모르타르의 동결융해피해에 미치는 폴리프로필렌섬유의 영향을 실험적으로 검토하였다. 섬유를 혼입하지 않은 섬유무보강 모르타르와 폴리비닐알코올섬유를 혼입한 모르타르를 비교 대상으로 하여 폴리프로필렌섬유의 혼입이 300사이클의 동결융해시험 후 모르타르의 압축 및 휨특성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 또한, 300사이클의 동결융해 시험 후 모르타르의 질량감소율, 상대동탄성계수 및 공극크기분포에 대한 시험을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 섬유종류에 관계없이 섬유무혼입 모르타르에 비해 섬유혼입 모르타르는 300사이클의 동결융해시험 후 압축강도 및 휨강도의 역학적 성능저하와 질량감소율의 증가를 억제하는 것이 가능했다. 한편, 300사이클의 동결융해시험 후 모르타르의 공극감소에 대한 저항에 폴리비닐알코올섬유뿐만 아니라 폴리프로필렌섬유가 효과적으로 작용할 수 있는 것을 확인했으나 폴리프로필렌섬유를 혼입한 모르타르의 동결융해저항성을 향상시키기 위해서는 폴리비닐알코올섬유에서 기대할 수 있는 시멘트매트릭스와의 결합효율을 증가시킬 필요가 있다.

대부분의 국내 콘크리트 구조물이 동결융해 및 염해 환경에 동시에 노출됨에도 불구하고 현장에서의 콘크리트 내구성능 평가는 각각의 단일 작용에 의한 손상을 평가하고 있으며 염해 손상은 현장에서 코어를 별도로 채취하여 추가적인 실내 실험분석까지 요구된다. 그러나 국내에서는 2018년부터 「시설물의 안전 및 유지관리에 관한 특별법」과 「지속가능한 기반시설 관리 기본법」 등의 시설물 유지관리를 강화하는 정책들이 수립 및 시행됨에 따라 정부 및 지자체에서 안전점검 관리 대상시설물이 증대되어 시설물이 안전 점검 및 진단에 대한 효과적인 점검 간소화 기술이 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 기존의 피복부 콘크리트 품질을 평가하는 표면반발경도를 활용하여 동해 손상이 발생한 콘크리트 부위를 대상으로 염해 손상의 가속화 정도를 판단할 수 있는 방법의 가능성을 평가하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 동결융해 촉진 환경에 노출시켜 이미 동해 손상이 발생한 콘크리트 실험체를 염수에 침지시킨 후 콘크리트 내 침투한 염화물을 분석하여 동해 손상 정도에 따른 염화물 침투 가속화 관계를 분석하였다.

In cold regions, the integrity of the infrastructures built on weak soils can be extensively damaged by weathering actions due to the cyclic freezing and thawing. This damage can be mitigated by exploiting soil stabilization techniques. Generally, ordinary Portland cement (OPC) is the most commonly used binding material for investigating the chemo-hydromechanical behavior. However, due to the environmental issue of OPC producing a significant amount of carbon dioxide emission, calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement can be used as one of the eco-sustainable alternatives. Although recently several studies have examined the strength development of CSA treated sand, no research has been concerned about CSA cement-stabilized sand affected by cyclic freeze and thaw. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive laboratory work to assess the effect of the cyclic freeze-thaw action on strength and durability of CSA cement-treated sand. For this purpose, unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) tests were performed on the stabilized soil specimens cured for 7 and 14 days which are subjected to 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 freeze-thaw cycles. The test results show that the strength and durability index of the samples decrease with the increase of the freeze-thaw cycles. The loss of the strength and durability considerably decreases for all soil samples subjected to the freeze-thaw cycles. Overall, the use of CSA as a stabilizer for sandy soils would be an eco-friendly option to achieve sufficient strength and durability against the freeze-thaw action in cold regions.

In this study, the accelerated corrosion test by combined deteriorating action of salt damage and freeze-thaw was investigated. freeze-thaw cycle is one method for corrosion testing; corrosion initiation time was measured in four types of concrete samples, i.e., two samples mixed with fly ash (FA) and blast furnace slag (BS), and the other two samples having two water/cement ratio (W/C = 0.6, 0.35) without admixture (OPC60 and OPC35). The corrosion of rebar embedded in concrete occurred most quickly at the $30^{th}$ freeze-thaw cycle. Moreover, a corrosion monitoring method with a half-cell potential measurement and relative dynamic elastic modulus derived from resonant frequency measures was conducted simultaneously. The results indicated that the corrosion of rebar occurred when the relative dynamic elastic modulus was less than 60%. Therefore, dynamic elastic modulus can be used to detect corrosion of steel bar. The results of the accelerated corrosion test exhibited significant difference according to corrosion periods combined with each test condition. Consequently, the OPC60 showed the lowest corrosion resistance among the samples.

Abnormal climate events are occurring frequently around the world. In particular, cold waves and heavy snow lead to damage and deterioration of facilities, which can cause loss of life or property damage, such as shortening the lifespan of facilities. Therefore, it is very important to prepare an appropriate maintenance system and to establish a strategy to cope with abnormal weather conditions. In this study, laboratory freezing experiments were performed to analyze the freeze-thaw characteristics affecting the tunnel concrete lining, and heat flow analysis was carried out based on the test results. Based on these experimental and theoretical analysis results, quantitative freeze-thaw evaluation criteria for tunnel concrete linings were proposed.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to evaluate moisture susceptibility of a dense graded and an open graded asphalt mixtures by the method of AASHTO T-283. METHODS : To simulate moisture damage of asphalt pavements with continuously rainfall during summer rainy season, the dense graded and the open graded asphalt mixtures were immersed in water for 15 days and were measured the weight and the change of strength. Also, the mixtures were performed five freeze-thaw cycles to simulate moisture damage of the mixtures by freeze-thaw during winter and were measured the change of strength. The degradation characteristics model was used to analyze the relationship between strength and moisture damage. RESULTS : According to the results, the dense graded and the open graded asphalt mixtures were shown in the similar trends of the strength changes by immersion time and freeze-thaw cycle. However, the moisture damage reduction of open graded asphalt mixture was more sensitive in early phase than that of dense graded asphalt mixture.

OBJECTIVES : The objective of this research is to determine the moisture resistance of the freeze-thaw process occurring in low-noise porous pavement using either hydrated-lime or anti-freezing agent. Various additives were applied to low-noise porous asphalt, which is actively paved in South Korea, to overcome its disadvantages. Moreover, the optimum contents of hydrated-lime and anti-freezing agent and behavior properties of low-noise porous asphalt layer are determined using dynamic moduli via the freeze-thaw test. METHODS : The low-noise porous asphalt mixtures were made using gyratory compacters to investigate its properties with either hydrated-lime or anti-freezing agent. To determine the dynamic moduli of each mixture, impact resonance test was conducted. The applied standard for the freeze-thaw test of asphalt mixture is ASTM D 6857. The freeze-thaw and impact resonance tests were performed twice at each stage. The behavior properties were defined using finite element method, which was performed using the dynamic modulus data obtained from the freeze-thaw test and resonance frequencies obtained from non-destructive impact test. RESULTS : The results show that the coherence and strength of the low-noise porous asphalt mixture decreased continuously with the increase in the temperature of the mixture. The dynamic modulus of the normal low-noise porous asphalt mixture dramatically decreased after one cycle of freezing and thawing stages, which is more than that of other mixtures containing additives. The damage rate was higher when the freeze-thaw test was repeated. CONCLUSIONS : From the root mean squared error (RMSE) and mean percentage error (MPE) analyses, the addition rates of 1.5% hydrated-lime and 0.5% anti-freezing agent resulted in the strongest mixture having the highest moisture resistance compared to other specimens with each additive in 1 cycle freeze-thaw test. Moreover, the freeze-thaw resistance significantly improved when a hydrated-lime content of 0.5% was applied for the two cycles of the freeze-thaw test. Hence, the optimum contents of both hydrated-lime and anti-freezing agent are 0.5%.

PURPOSES : In order to evaluate a crack resistance at cold joint, sealing tape was adopted to apply at cold joint instead of typical tack coat material(RSC-4). The sealing tape was made by hot sealing material. The crack resistance as function of environmental and traffic loading was measured with visual observation. METHODS : In this study, the crack resistance was evaluated as function of environmental and traffic loading. The freeze-thaw method was adopted for environmental loading of asphalt pavement. condition. The damage of cold joint under freeze-thaw action is initiated by ice expansion load and accelerated by the interfacial damage between new and old asphalt pavement. The traffic loading was applied with wheel tracking machine on the cold joint area of the asphalt pavement for 3 hours at $25^{\circ}C$. The evaluation of crack resistance was measured with visual observation. The freeze-thaw results shows that the sealing tape was significantly increased the crack resistance based on. RESULTS : To estimate the crack resistance at cold joint area due to the environmental loading, the Freeze-thaw test was conducted by exposing the product to freezing temperature(approximately $-18^{\circ}C$) for 24 hours, and then allowing it to thaw at $60^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. The tack coat material(RSC-4) was debonded after 21 cycles of the Freeze-thaw test. The first crack was observed after 14 freeze-thaw cycle with RSC-4 material. But, the sealing tape was not debonded after 24 cycle test. Also, the sealing tape shows the better performance of the crack resistance under the traffic loading with wheel track test. The crack was generated the under traffic loading with RSC-4(tack coating), however, the crack was not shown with sealing tape. It indicates that the sealing tape has a strong resistance of tensile stress due to traffic loading. CONCLUSIONS :Based on limited laboratory test result, a performance of crack resistance using the sealing tape is better than that of general tack coat material(RSC-4). It means that the sealing tape is possible to extend a pavement service life because the crack, one of the main pavement distresses, will be delayed.

동결융해에 의한 콘크리트 손상 발생 시기를 평가하기 위하여 상대동탄성계수와 표면반발경도를 이용하여 비교하였다. 비교 결과 W/C 70 실험체군에서는 표면반발경도에 의한 콘크리트 손상 발생 평가가 200 싸이클 이상 빠르게 나타나는 것으로 관찰되었다. 뿐만 아니라 이후 점점 심해지는 동해를 표현할 수 있는 데이터를 지속적으로 제공해주어 동해 발생하는 초기 시점부터 동해를 확인할 수 있다는 것을 나타냈다. W/C 60과 50 실험체군에서도 표면반발경도가 콘크리트 동해 손상을 상대동탄성계수 보다 빠르게 평가했으며, 물-시멘트비에 변화에 상관없이 전반적으로 동결융해 손상시기 상대적으로 빠르고 정확하게 평가한 것으로 판단된다.

전 세계적으로 이상기후 현상의 빈도와 강도는 높아지고 있는 추세이다. 이는 인명과 재산에 직접적인 피해를 줄 수 있으므로 이상기후에 대응하여 적정한 유지관리 전략을 수립하고 실천하는 것이 중요하다. 한파 또는 폭설이 빈번하게 발생하는 한랭지역에 건설되는 시설물의 경우에는 다른 지역에 위치하고 있는 시설물에 비하여 동결-융해에 의한 피해를 많이 받을 수 있으며, 해를 거듭할수록 그 피해 정도는 증가할 가능성이 매우 높다. 그러나 동결-융해의 피해를 정량적으로 확인할 수 있는 명확한 기준과 이에 대한 대응방안은 아직 제시되고 있지 않은 실정이다. 따라서 실내 동결시험 결과를 기반으로 지역별 기후특성을 고려한 동결조건을 -14℃에서 1일, -7℃에서 2일 또는 -5℃에서 3일 지속될 경우로 선정하였으며, 그 결과, 강원지역의 대관령(8.3회), 철원(5.3회), 태백(4.9회)의 순으로 동결-융해 환경에 노출되어 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 이러한 연구결과를 기반으로 도로터널의 동결-융해 평가기준을 새롭게 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 도로터널의 동결-융해 평가기준은 추후 한랭지역 터널의 정량적 평가와 유지관리 전략의 수립 시 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
