PURPOSES : A geo-grid pavement, e.g., a stress-absorbing membrane interlayer (SAMI), can be applied to an asphalt-overlay method on the existing surface-pavement layer for pavement maintenance related to reflection cracking. Reflection cracking can occur when a crack in the existing surface layer influences the overlay pavement. It can reduce the pavement life cycle and adversely affect traffic safety. Moreover, a failed overlay can reduce the economic value. In this regard, the objective of this study is to evaluate the bonding properties between the rigid pavement and a SAMI by using the direct shear test and the pull-off test. The predicted fractural energy functions with the shear stress were determined from a numerical analysis of the moving average method and the polynomial regression method. METHODS : In this research, the shear and pull-off tests were performed to evaluate the properties of mixtures constructed using no interlayer, a tack-coat, and SAMI with fabric and without fabric. The lower mixture parts (describing the existing pavement) were mixed using the 25-40-8 joint cement-concrete standard. The overlay layer was constructed especially using polymer-modified stone mastic asphalt (SMA) pavement. It was composed of an SMA aggregate gradation and applied as the modified agent. The sixth polynomial regression equation and the general moving average method were utilized to estimate the interlayer shear strength. These numerical analysis methods were also used to determine the predictive models for estimating the fracture energy. RESULTS : From the direct shear test and the pull-off test results, the mixture bonded using the tack-coat (applied as the interlayer between the overlay layer and the jointed cement concrete) had the strongest shear resistance and bonding strength. In contrast, the SAMI pavement without fiber has a strong need for fractural energy at failure. CONCLUSIONS : The effects of site-reflection cracking can be determined using the same tests on cored specimens. Further, an empirical-mechanical finite-element method (FEM) must be done to understand the appropriate SAMI application. In this regard, the FEM application analy pavement-design analysis using thesis and bonding property tests using cored specimens from public roads will be conducted in further research.

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.
