PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to propose a quality control and quality assurance method for use during asphalt pavement construction using non-destructive methods, such as ground penetrating radar (GPR) and an infrared (IR) camera. METHODS : A 1.0 GHz air-coupled GPR system was used to measure the thickness and in situ density of asphalt concrete overlay during the placement and compaction of the asphalt layer in two test construction sections. The in situ density of the asphalt layer was estimated based on the dielectric constant of the asphalt concrete, which was measured as the ratio of the amplitude of the surface reflection of the asphalt mat to that of a metal plate. In addition, an IR camera was used to monitor the surface temperature of the asphalt mat to ensure its uniformity, for both conventional asphalt concrete and fiber-reinforced asphalt (FRA) concrete. RESULTS : From the GPR test, the measured in situ air void of the asphalt concrete overlay gradually decreased from 12.6% at placement to 8.1% after five roller passes for conventional asphalt concrete, and from 10.7% to 5.9% for the FRA concrete. The thickness of the asphalt concrete overlay was reduced from 7.0 cm to 6.0 cm for the conventional material, and from 9.2 cm to 6.4 cm for the FRA concrete. From the IR camera measurements, the temperature differences in the asphalt mat ranged from $10^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$ in the two test sections. CONCLUSIONS : During asphalt concrete construction, GPR and IR tests can be applicable for monitoring the changes in in situ density, thickness, and temperature differences of the overlay, which are the most important factors for quality control. For easier and more reliable quality control of asphalt overlay construction, it is better to use the thickness measurement from the GPR.

PURPOSES : This study is to construct the regression models of drainage asphalt concrete specimens and to provide the appropriate coefficients of hydraulic conductivity prediction models. METHODS: In terms of easy calculation of the hydraulic conductivity from porosity of asphalt concrete pavement, the estimation model of hydraulic conductivity was proposed using regression analysis. 10 specimens of drainage asphalt concrete pavement were made for measurement of the hydraulic conductivity. Hydraulic conductivity model proposed in this study was calculated by empirical model based on porosity and the grain size. In this study, it shows the compared results from permeability measured test and empirical equation, and the suitability of proposed model, using regression analysis. RESULTS: As the result of the regression analysis, the hydraulic conductivity calculated from the proposal model was similar to that resulted from permeability measured test. Also result of RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) analysis, a proposed regression model is resulted in more accurate model. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed model can be used in case of estimating the hydraulic conductivity at drainage asphalt concrete pavements in fields.

A prototype probabilistic approach to thickness design for asphalt pavement surface course was developed using first-order second moment probability model. The tensile strain (load effect) developing at the bottom of surface layer due to the wheel load and the critical strain (resistance) of asphalt concrete were used as random variables for pavement reliability analysis. Based on the parameters for load effect and resistance data collected from reference and field, simulated data were generated by Monte Carlo method for reliability evaluation of the pavement for a typical rural highway. Thickness of pavement surface course was defined in terms of target reliability of the pavement, growth factor of traffic, design life of pavement and resistance of the asphalt concrete to be placed on the pavement. According to these rationales, prototype thickness design chrats were sugested through example studies. From these, similar design charts can be developed for many pavements if appropriate data and target reliability are determined.

국내 고속도로의 60% 이상이 시멘트 콘크리트 포장으로 건설되었으며, 그 중 공용년수가 20년이 넘어선 구간이 절반 이상에 달하고 있다. 노후화된 시멘트 콘크리트 포장의 보수 보강은 국내의 도로 교통여건상 우회도로가 준비되기 어렵기 때문에 조기 교통개방이 요구되며 현재까지는 주로 아스팔트 덧씌우기가 사용되고 있다. 반면에 아스팔트 포장은 조기파손과 잦은 보수 때문에 보수 보강에 대한 비용이 크다. 현 시점에서 아스팔트 덧씌우기가 국내에서 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 현실을 감안할 때, 아스팔트 덧씌우기의 수명에 미치는 영향인자가 무엇인지 검토할 필요가 있다. 따라서 아스팔트 덧씌우기 공법의 성능에 영향을 미치는 인자에 대해 조사할 필요가 있으나, 국내의 경우 아스팔트 덧씌우기의 공용 중 파손상태에 대한 자료가 체계적으로 구축되어있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 아스팔트 덧씌우기 수명과 영향인자간의 상관성을 비교하기 위해 다양한 파손자료를 구축하고 있는 미국의 LTPP data를 이용하여 노후화 된 시멘트 콘크리트 포장의 아스팔트 덧씌우기에 대해 조기파손을 방지하고, 효율적인 보수 보강을 위해서 아스팔트 덧씌우기 구간의 수명에 미치는 영향인자에 대해서 통계분석을 수행하였다.

PURPOSES : Concrete pavement has been used in the construction of the Jungbu expressway in 1987. More than 60% of the pavement on the expressway is currently made of concrete, but most has been used far beyond their design life. Pavement life has been extended through routine maintenance or overlay. However, the structural capacity of the pavement has reached its limit, and extensive rehabilitation/reconstruction with long time traffic blocking should be considered. The three following issues on concrete rehabilitation/reconstruction will be discussed: (1) economic comparison of asphalt inlay and asphalt overlay, (2) economic comparison preventive overlay on a section which is currently good and routine overlay on the section which will be poor, and (3) economic analysis of early-strength concrete when it is used in concrete reconstruction. METHODS : First, various life cycle cost analysis tools were compared, and the proper tool for the extensive rehabilitation/reconstruction was selected. Second, a sensitivity analysis of the selected tool was performed to find the influential input variables, which should be carefully selected in the analysis. Third, three case studies, which can be issues in the rehabilitation/reconstruction of the expressway concrete pavement in Korea, were performed. RESULTS : Asphalt overlay without milling the deteriorated concrete showed 18~25% lower life cycle cost than the current asphalt inlay with milling. The good current preventive overlay on the section was economically justified within the scope of this study. The construction cost limit of the early strength concrete was suggested to be economical for 1, 3, and 7 days of construction alternative opening. CONCLUSIONS : CA4PRS was a viable tool for comparing various rehabilitation/reconstruction issue alternatives. Several concrete issues associated with the rehabilitation/reconstruction of the deteriorated concrete pavement were discussed as mentioned above.

PURPOSES : So far, aged cement concrete pavement on express highways has been rehabilitated mainly with asphalt concrete inlay. However, potholes were the major problem, and they shortened the life of the inlay mainly owing to the poor drainage of water once it infiltrated the interface of the concrete and asphalt. The purpose of this study is to compare the performance and economic efficiency of asphalt overlay and inlay. METHODS : Overlay and inlay were compared through accelerated pavement testing, and a life-cycle cost analysis was conducted in this study using the CA4PRS program. RESULTS and CONCLUSIONS : It was found from accelerated pavement testing that the overlay exhibited reflective crack resistance that was more than twice as effective as that of inlay. The total cost (construction cost + user cost) within the analysis period (20 years) of the overlay was 37% lower than that of the inlay.

본 연구의 주 목적은 교면포장 공법 중에서 인천대교에 사용된 구스 아스팔트와 귤현 대교에 사용된 SMA의 적용 사례를 통하여 발전된 교면포장 공법을 제시하는데 있다. 두 공법의 시공사례를 비교 분석한 결과, 구스 아스팔트는 고온에서의 유동저항성이 작아 소성변형에 취약하며, 이에 반하여 SMA포장은 유지관리에 용이하고 소성변형 등에 유리하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 강상판 교면포장 공법이 발달된 선진국에서는 보편화되어서, 그에 따른 국내에서의 해결방안을 제시하였다. 그러나, 국내의 경우 다양한 시공 실적이 미흡한 실정이어서 향후 적절한 시공관리와 체계적인 연구를 통하여 보다 발전된 교면 포장공법이 제시되어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.

본 논문에서는 텍사스 휴스턴에 소재하는 William P Hobby공항의 아스팔트 덧씌우기 포장두께를 설계하기위한 재료 특성화와 구조평가 연구결과에 관한 최근의 사례결과를 나타내고 있다. Hobby 공항의 12R-30L 활주로는 포틀랜드시멘트 콘크리트 포장위에 두꺼운 아스팔트 덧씌우기 층으로 구성되어 있으며 최근 부분적인 표면 밀림 현상이 관측되었다. 아스팔트 혼합물 현장코아 시료를 사용하여 표면 밀림현상 원인을 분석하기 위하여 공기량, 아스팔트 함량 및 골재 입도 분석이 수행되었다. 미연방 항공우주국의 탄성층 해석 프로그램인 LEDFAA가 새로운 아스팔트 덧씌우기층의 포장구조 상태를 평가하기 위하여 사용되었다. 이를 위하여 두 가지의 포장구성 상태가 존재한다고 가정하였다. 즉 PCC 포장위에 아스팔트 콘크리트 덧씌우기층, 그리고 아스팔트 콘크리트 포장. 실험실 시험결과를 근거로 아스팔트 바인더 함유량에 대한 200번째 체 통과 골재비는 $1.1{\sim}2.2$이며 비율이 높을수록 혼합물은 연성을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 12R-30L 활주로의 표면밀림 현상은 과도한 세립골재 함유율로 인한 연성혼합물이 원인인 것으로 나타났다. 구조 평가결과에 의하면 아스팔트 포장으로 포장구조를 가정한 해석 결과는 PCC층에 비하여 좀 더 두꺼운 아스팔트 층일때 더 실질적인 구조적 수명을 나타내었다. 아스팔트층 하부의 PCC포장은 고급기층재료 역할을 수행하기 때문인 것으로 해석된다.

The asphalt pavement industry has introduced the warm-mix asphalt (WMA) as a mean of energy saving and environmentally safe technology, because the WMA mixture can be mixed and compacted at 30℃ lower than conventional hot-mix asphalt (HMA) at 160℃ or higher. The implementation of WMA can be a good option for paving operations for rural road in remote place, not only due to energy saving and environmental issues, but also lower working temperature. Using WMA technology, the cooled-down asphalt mixture can be still compacted to meet the quality requirement in narrow winding rural road in remote places. Therefore, this study is designed to evaluate engineering properties of WMA binders and concretes, which were prepared for rural road pavement. The objective of the study was to evaluate and suggest proper fundamental properties level of the WMA concrete for rural road pavement. The kinematic viscosity test result indicated that the WMA binders used in this study were effective for compaction at lower temperature, i.e., at 115℃, compared to the HMA binder. According to strength property analyses, it was found that the WMA concrete was acceptable for rural road pavement even though it was compacted at 30℃ lower level. Since the deformation strength (SD) of 3.2 MPa was found to satisfy rutting and cracking resistance minimum guidelines, this value was suggested as a minimum SD value for rural road pavement, considering lack of maintenance program for rural area.

PURPOSES : Asphalt concrete pavement is damaged by various causes such as traffic and environmental loads. The distressed pavement should be maintained by various methods to provide a comfortable and safe pavement for the driver. This study evaluates the effect of adding a mixing procedure to enhance the mixture quality in the hot in-placement recycled asphalt pavement method, which is an asphalt-pavement maintenance method. METHODS : Various test methods such as Marshall stability and dynamic stability, were employed to estimate the recycled asphalt mixture with and without an additional mixing, using the hot in-placement recycled asphalt pavement method. RESULTS : The mixture samples used in this study were taken before and after the addition of the mixer in the hot in-placement recycled asphalt pavement method (HIR) at field construction sites in GongJu and JinJu in South Korea. The test results of both mixtures satisfied the asphalt-mixture standard specifications. CONCLUSIONS : This study confirmed that adding a mixer in the HIR method results in a well-mixed new asphalt mixture, rejuvenator, and reclaimed asphalt mixture.
