아스팔트 콘크리트 포장의 반사균열 저항성을 평가하기 위해 다양한 방법이 적용되고 있다. 반복직접인장시험은 기존실험에 비해 저렴하고 간편하게 아스팔트 콘크리트 포장의 반사균열 저항성을 평가할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 국내에 반복직접인장시험을 도입하기 위해서는 파괴기준의 결정이 필요하다. 반복직접인장시험의 파괴횟수를 결정하기 위해 다양한 방법을 검토한 결과 초기하중의 10%일 때를 파괴시점으로 산정할 경우 10% 이내의 반복횟수 편차를 나타내었다. 아스팔트 콘크리트의 두께가 30 mm에서 50 mm로 증가할 경우 파괴횟수는 13.6배 증가하여 포장두께가 반사균열 저항성에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 재하변형의 크기가 클수록 반사균열의 진전속도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 반복직접인장시험은 포장 두께, 변형크기, 재료적 특성에 따라 반사균열저항성을 정량적으로 평가할 수 있기 때문에 포장설계시 반사균열 저항성 평가 방법으로 적용 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

PURPOSES : The main purpose of this study is to develop a high elastic modulus and low-shrinkage roller-compacted concrete base (RCCB) in order to prevent fatigue cracking and reflective cracking in the asphalt surface layer of composite pavement. Using a rigid base material with low shrinkage can be a solution to this problem. Moreover, a strong rigid base with high elastic modulus is able to shift the location of critical tensile strain from the bottom of the asphalt layer to the bottom of the rigid base layer, which can prevent fatigue cracking in the asphalt layer. METHODS : Sensitivity analysis of composite pavement via numerical methods is implemented to determine an appropriate range of elastic modulus of the rigid base that would eliminate fatigue cracking. Various asphalt thicknesses and elastic moduli of the rigid base are used in the analysis to study their respective influences on fatigue cracking. Low-shrinkage RCC mixture, as determined via laboratory testing with various amounts of a CSA expansion agent (0%, 7%, and 10%), is found to achieve an appropriate low-shrinkage level. Shrinkage of RCC is measured according to KS F 2424. RESULTS : This study shows that composite pavements comprising asphalt thicknesses of (h1) 2 in. with E2 > 19 GPa, 4 in. with E2 > 15 GPa, and 6 in. with E2 > 11 GPa are able to eliminate tensile strain in the asphalt layer, which is the cause of fatigue cracking in this layer. Shrinkage test results demonstrate that a 10% CSA RCC mixture can reduce shrinkage by 84% and 93% as compared to conventional RCC and PCC, respectively. CONCLUSIONS : According to the results of numerical analyses using various design inputs, composite pavements are shown to be able to eliminate fatigue cracking in composite pavement. Additionally, an RCC mixture with 10% CSA admixture is able to reduce or eliminate reflective cracking in asphalt surfaces as a result of the significant shrinkage reduction in the RCC base. Thus, this low-shrinkage base material can be used as an alternative solution to distresses in composite pavement.

노후 된 도로 포장 개량을 위한 아스팔트 덧씌우기 포장의 경우 반사균열로 인한 조기파손이 문제가 되고 있어, 반사균열을 억제하고 포장의 내구성을 확보할 수 있는 새로운 공법이 필요한 실정이다. 에폭시 아스팔트 바인더를 이용한 응력흡수층(SAMI)을 통해 아스팔트 덧씌우기 포장의 내구성을 확보하고자 하였다. 에폭시 응력흡수층의 인장성능, 접착성능, 방수성능, 내화학성, 내구성 실험을 수행하였으며, 교면 방수재료의 품질기준을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 반사균열 억제 효과를 검토하기 위해 반복직접인장실험 결과 에폭시 응력흡수층 적용시 단면 두께가 감소하여도 두께 10cm의 PSMA 아스팔트 콘크리트에 비해 1.2~1.56배 높은 반사균열저항성을 나타내었다. 4점 빔피로 실험 결과 에폭시 응력흡수층을 적용하면 피로파괴횟수가 약 7.5배 높아져 포장의 내구성을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 에폭시 응력흡수층은 반사균열 억제와 피로수명 향상 및 방수층으로서의 역할을 수행하여 아스팔트 덧씌우기 포장의 내구성 향상에 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 노후 콘크리트 포장의 아스팔트 덧씌우기에서 발생하는 반사균열을 억제하기 위한 방안으로 노후 콘크리트와 아스팔트 표층 사이에 응력을 흡수할 수 있는 중간층 혼합물을 개발하기 위하여 수행되었다. 고탄성 응력흡수층은 휨 변형과 수평변형으로 인하여 발생하는 균열응력을 흡수 또는 분산 시킬 수 있는 탄성과 유연성, 균일성 및 불투수성이 요구된다. 본 연구로부터 국외제품을 모델로 국산 바인더를 개발 하였으며 이를 사용하여 제작된 혼합물 시편은 시방규격에 만족하였다. 기존 덧씌우기 공법과 비교한 시험으로부터 고탄성 응력흡수 중간층이 설치된 경우 설치되지 않은 경우에 비하여 전단파괴수명과 수평변위저항도는 약 4배가 증가되었으며 표층재료의 선정에 따라 전단파괴수명은 5배, 수평변위저항도는 9배가 증가되어 고탄성 응력흡수 중간층이 반사균열 억제에 우수한 것으로 본 연구에 나타났다.

Cracking is an inevitable fact of asphalt concrete pavements and plays a major role in pavement deterioration. Pavement cracking is one of the main factors determining the frequency and method of repair. Cracks can be treated with a number of preventative maintenance actions, including overlay surface treatments such as slurry sealing, crack sealing, or crack filling. Pavement cracks can show up as one or all of the following types: transverse, longitudinal, fatigue, block, reflective, edge, and slippage. Crack sealing is a frequently used pavement maintenance treatment because it significantly extends the pavement service life. However, crack sealant often fails prematurely due to a loss of adhesion. Because current test methods are mostly empirical and only provide a qualitative measure of the bond strength, they cannot accurately predict the adhesive failure of the sealant. This study introduces a laboratory test aimed at assessing the bonding of hot-poured crack sealant to the walls of pavement cracks. A pneumatic adhesion tensile testing instrument (PATTI) was adopted to measure the bonding strength of the hot-poured crack sealant as a function of the curing time and temperature. Based on a limited number of test results, the hot-poured crack sealants have very different bonding performances. Therefore, this test method can be proposed as part of a newly developed performance-based standard specification for hot-poured crack sealants for use in the future. PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to evaluate both the adhesion and failure performance of a crack sealant as a function of its curing time and curing temperature. METHODS: A pneumatic adhesion tensile testing instrument (PATTI) was adopted to measure the adhesion performance of a crack sealant as a function of the curing time and curing temperature. RESULTS: With changes in the curing time, curing temperature, and sealant type, the bond strengths were found to be significantly different. Also, higher bond strengths were measured at lower temperatures. Different sealant types produced completely different bond strengths and failure behaviors. CONCLUSIONS: The bonding strength of an evaluated crack sealant was shown to differ depending on various factors. Two sealant types, which were composed of different raw materials, were shown to perform differently. The newly proposed test offers the possibility of evaluating and differentiating between different crack sealants. Based on alimited number of test results, this test method can be proposed as part of a newly developed performance-based standard specification for crack sealants or as part of a guideline for the selection of hot-poured crack sealant in the future.

Many experimental and numerical approaches have been developed to evaluate paving materials and to predict pavement response and distress. Micromechanical simulation modeling is a technology that can reduce the number of physical tests required in material formulation and design and that can provide more details, e.g., the internal stress and strain state, and energy evolution and dissipation in simulated specimens with realistic microstructural features. A clustered distinct element modeling (DEM) approach was implemented In the two-dimensional particle flow software package (PFC-2D) to study the complex behavior observed in asphalt mixture fracturing. The relationship between continuous and discontinuous material properties was defined based on the potential energy approach. The theoretical relationship was validated with the uniform axial compression and cantilever beam model using two-dimensional plane strain and plane stress models. A bilinear cohesive displacement-softening model was implemented as an intrinsic interface and applied for both homogeneous and heterogeneous fracture modeling in order to simulate behavior in the fracture process zone and to simulate crack propagation. A disk-shaped compact tension test (DC(T)) with heterogeneous microstructure was simulated and compared with the experimental fracture test results to study Mode I fracture. The realistic arbitrary crack propagation including crack deflection, microcracking, crack face sliding, crack branching, and crack tip blunting could be represented in the fracture models. This micromechanical modeling approach represents the early developmental stages towards a 'virtual asphalt laboratory,' where simulations of laboratory tests and eventually field response and distress predictions can be made to enhance our understanding of pavement distress mechanisms, such its thermal fracture, reflective cracking, and fatigue crack growth.
