In part of mechanical design analysis, quadrilateral mesh is usually used because it provides less approximate errors than triangular mesh. Over the decades, Paving method has been considered as the most robust method among existing automatic quadrilateral element mesh generation methods. However, it also has some problems such as unpredictable node projection and relatively large element generation. In this study, the aforementioned problems are corrected by updating the Paving method. In so doing, a part of node projection process is modified by classifying nodes based on the interior angles. The closure check process is also modified by adding more nodes while generating elements. The result shows well shaped element distribution in the final mesh without any aforementioned problems.

하천의 2차원 흐름 및 하상변동, 오염확산 해석을 위한 유체의 수치해석법에는 유한요소법, 유한차분법, 유한차분법의 변형인 유한체적법, 경계적분법 등이 있으며, 국내의 경우 비구조적 요소망(unstructured mesh)을 이용하여 복잡한 형상을 표현하기가 상대적으로 용이한 유한요소법이 널리 사용되고 있다. 하천을 유한 요소화 하는 전처리 과정은 전체 해석 과정을 자동화 하는데 있어 필수적인 요소이며, 주로 삼각 요소망 또는 사각 요소망을 이용하여 해석을 수행하게 된다. 삼각 요소망의 경우 상대적으로 자동화하기 쉬운 반면 사각 요소망의 생성은 절점 생성 자체가 삼각 요소망 보다 더 많은 기하학적 제한 요소를 가지고 있기 때문에 상대적으로 완성도 높은 알고리즘을 구현하기가 어렵다 할 수 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 2차원 상에서 사각 요소망(quadrilateral elements)을 생성할 수 있는 Paving method를 중심으로 한 요소망 생성 알고리즘에 대해 고찰하고, 국내 최초의 범용 수치해석 모형인 RAMS(River Analysis and Modeling System)에 적용하였다. Paving method는 1990년에 Blacker and Stephenson에 의해 제안되었으며, Sandia National Laboratories에 의해 완성되었다. Paving Method는 advancing front style의 요소망을 생성하게 되고, 바깥쪽에서 안쪽으로 element layer를 생성하면서 채워나간다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 요소망 생성 프로세스에서 element 삽입 전의 검증 기능을 강화한 새로운 버전의 paving method를 적용하엿다.

Asphalt pavements of the airport in service were monitored to construct new runway and taxiway and longitudinal cracks were found on the pavements. The sources of the longitudinal cracks were the low density which was caused by the longitudinal cold joint with asphalt Pavement constructions and the excessive loads of aircraft. Therefore, the echelon paving method using a 12m-wide screed finisher was used to eliminate longitudinal cracks. When the echelon paving is used, construction of the longitudinal joint is changed so that the compaction of the unconfined edge of the first lane is delayed until the second lane is placed. In conclusion, the use of this construction method results in the density of the longitudinal joint being equal to that of the adjacent mat.

An automatic quadrilateral mesh generator for large deformation finite element analysis such as metal forming simulation was developed. The NURBS interpolation method is used for modeling arbitrary 2-D free surface. This mesh generation technique is the modified paving algorithm, which is an advancing front technique with element-by-element resolving method for paving boundary intersection problem. The mesh density for higher analysis accuracy and less analysis time can be easily controlled with high-density points, maximum and minimum element size. A couple of application to large deformation finite element analysis is given as an example, which shows versatility and applicability of the proposed approach and the developed mesh generator for large deformation finite element analysis.

This paper investigates the utilization of waste tyre crumb rubber as the fine aggregate in precast concrete Paving block (PCPB). PCPB's are generally preferred for city roads, pedestrian crosswalk, parking lots and bus terminals. The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the mechanical properties of wet cast PCPB containing waste tyre crumb rubber. The mechanical properties were investigated using a density, compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength tests at 7, 28 56 days according to the IS 15688:2006 and EN1338. The wet cast method was followed for producing PCPB samples. The fine aggregate (river sand) was replaced with waste tyre crumb in percentage of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% by volume. All the test results were compared with the conventional PCPB (Without rubber). The test results indicate its feasibility for incorporating waste tyre crumb rubber in the production of PCPB by the wet cast method.

Previous studies have considered the permeability and construction method of paving materials, thus focusing on more practical issues rather than basic research of their properties. The present study investigated the possibility of using an elastic paving material having lesser thickness in the resurfacing of existing concrete or asphalt paved areas while satisfying the necessary conditions of resilience and water permeability. An alternative to complete reconstruction would reduce the amount of resource wastage and environmental pollution, as well as the cost of projects. This study investigated five variants of thickness (10, 13, 15, 20, 25mm) and three mixing ratios of binder to rubber chips (20, 22.5, 25%) to ascertain the ideal basic properties of each. The obtained test data revealed that a minimum thickness(10~25mm) of the elastic paving materials can be determined from a qualitative point of view, and alternatives should be provided to improve the durability of the paving material on account of the temperature sensitivity.

PURPOSES : Plastic deformation is frequently made in intersection asphalt pavement at its early age due to deceleration and stoppage of vehicles. This study has been performed to provide a mechanistic basis for reasonable selection of paving method to minimize the plastic deformation at intersection. METHODS : Pavement layer, temperature, traffic volume of the intersections managed by the Daejeon Regional Construction and Management Administration were collected to calculate asphalt dynamic modulus with pavement depth by using a prediction equation suggested by the Korean pavement design guide. Performance of ordinary dense-graded asphalt pavement, polymer modified asphalt pavement, and fiber reinforced asphalt pavement was analyzed by finite element method and the results were used in a performance model to predict the plastic deformation. RESULTS : In aspect of performance, the three paving methods were usable under low traffic while the fiber reinforced asphalt pavement was the most suitable under heavy traffic. CONCLUSIONS : Reasonable paving method suitable for traffic characteristics in the intersection might be decided by considering economic feasibility.

An adaptive mesh generation scheme is developed for effective non-linear analysis of the shell structures under large deformation. In particular, based on a posteriori error estimation, remeshing method on each load step is of primary interest here. An advancing front method, called paving method, is adopted for remeshing. It can be known that the adaptive mesh generation using contours of spacing values obtained from stress errors has an advantage in the adaptive analysis of the shell structures.

The increment of impermeable land area due to widespread land development caused the adverse impact on urban disaster prevention because it could decrease the peak rate of runoff as well as increase the runoff and peak flow during rainy period. To date, little research has been conducted on the infiltration characteristics and quantitative analysis because of their highly dependence on construction method, paving material, surface permeability, and field condition. Hence, this study was performed to investigate the infiltration characteristics of runoff-reducing facilities according to the type of paving material, which were examined using experimental apparatus with varying paving material and rainfall intensity, and thus to provide fundamental research data for runoff-reducing infiltration facilities. In this study, the infiltration characteristics were examined under the rainfall intensity of 20, 30, 50, 80, 100, 200 mm/hr for a variety type of paving materials such as concrete, asphalt, sand, grassland, and permeable paving material. The infiltration rate for permeable paving material was observed to be more than 93% under the condition of less than 200 mm/hr of rainfall intensity. For the compacted earth and grassland, the ultimate infiltration rate was estimated to be about 13% to 67%. The permeable paving material was concluded to be the most appropriate one for the runoff-reducing infiltration facilities because it has more favorable advantages than others in the light of infiltration volume, disaster prevention, and river training.
