  • PURPOSES : The permeable pavement type has been rapidly developed for solving problems regarding traffic noise in the area of housing complex and heavy rainwater drainage in order to account for the climate change. In this regards, the objective of this study is to figure out the characteristics of pavement types. METHODS : The laboratory test for deriving optimum asphalt content (OAC) was conducted using the mixtures of the permeable asphalt surface for the pavement surface from Marshall compaction method. Based on its results, the pavement construction at the test field was conducted. After that, the site performance tests for measuring the traffic noise, strength and permeability were carried out for the relative evaluation in 2 months after the traffic opening. The specific site tests are noble close proximity method (NCPX), Light falling deflectometer test (LFWD) and the compact permeability test. RESULTS : The ordered highest values of the traffic noise level can be found such as normal dense graded asphalt, drainage and porous structure types. In the results from LFWD, the strength values of the porous and drainage asphalt types had been lower, but the strength of normal asphalt structure had relatively stayed high. CONCLUSIONS :The porous structure has been shown to perform significantly better in permeability and noise reduction than others. In addition to this study, the evaluation of the properties and the determination of the optimum thickness for the subgrade course under the porous pavement will be conducted using ground investigation technique in the further research.

  • The air-void is known to be one of the influencing factors for estimating long-term performance of asphalt concrete. Most of all, confirming air void or density of pavement layer is important for quality control of field compaction level of asphalt concrete pavement. In this study, a non-nuclear type non-destructive density gage (NDDG) was used to estimate compacted air-voids of asphalt pavement as a non-destructive test method. Asphalt concrete slab specimens were prepared using 6 types of asphalt mixes in laboratory (lab) for lab NDDG test. Four different base structure materials were used to find out if there were any differences due to the type of base structure materials. The actual air-voids and NDDG air-voids were measured from 6 asphalt concrete slabs. Four sections of field asphalt pavements were tested using the NDDG, and actual air voids were also measured from field cores taken from the site where the NDDG air-void was measured. From lab and field experimental tests, it was found that the air-voids obtained by NDDG were not the same as the actual air-voids measured from the asphalt concrete specimen. However, it was possible to estimate air voids based on the relationship obtained from regression analysis between actual and NDDG air voids. The predicted air-voids based on the NDDG air-voids obtained from 50mm depth were found to be reliable levels with $R^2{\fallingdotseq}0.9$. Therefore, it was concluded that the air-voids obtained from NDDG could be used to estimate actual air-voids in the field asphalt pavement with a relatively high coefficient of determination.

  • A new solution for the dynamic analysis of as asphalt concrete pavements under moving loads has been developed. The asphalt concrete pavement can be modeled in elastic or viscoelastic medium of multi-layered structure. The subgrade can be modeled as either a rigid base or a semi-infinite halfspace. The loads may be constant or arbitrary circular loads into one direction. The method utilizes the Complex Response Method of transient analysis with a continuum solution in the horizontal direction and a finite-element solution in the vertical direction. This proposed method incorporates such important factors as wave propagation, inertia and damping effects of the medium as well as frequency-dependent asphalt concrete properties. The proposed method has been validted with the full-scale field truck test, which was conducted on instrumented asphalt concrete section on a test track at PACCAR Technical Center in Mount Vernon, Washington. Comparison with field strain data from full-scale pavement tests has shown excellent agreement. Theoretical results have shown that the effect of vehicle speed is significant and that it is in part due to the frequency-dependent

  • 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.

  • PURPOSES : This research describes how to predict the life cycles of fatigue cracking based on NCHRP Report 704 as well as modified harmony search (MHS) algorithm. METHODS : The fatigue cracking regression model of NCHRP Report 704 was used in order to calculate the ESAL (Equivalent Single Axle Load) numbers up to pavement failure, based on using material parameters, composite modulus, and surface pavement thickness. Furthermore, the MHS algorithm was implemented to find appropriate material parameters and other structural conditions given the number of ESALs, which is related to pavement service life. RESULTS : The case studies show that the material and structural parameters can be obtained, resulting in satisfying the failure endurance of asphalt concrete structure, given the number of ESALs. For example, the required ESALs such as one or two millions are targeted to satisfy the service performance of asphalt concrete pavements in this study. CONCLUSIONS : According to the case studies, It can be concluded that the MHS algorithm provides a good tool of optimization problems in terms of minimizing the difference between the required service cycles, which is a given value, and the calculated service cycles, which is obtained from the fatigue cracking regression model.

  • 포트홀 발생 및 관련 교통사고 건수는 매년 꾸준히 증가하는 추세이며 이에 따른 인명피해, 차량파손에 따른 비용손실 등 도로 이용자의 직 간접적인 피해를 증가시키고 있다. 일반적으로 아스팔트 혼합물은 생산과정부터 시공 후 공용에 따라 지속적으로 노화가 진행된다. 포장 노화는 균열과 수분침투로 박리를 야기하고 반복적인 윤하중에 의해 포장구조를 약화시켜 포트홀을 유발하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 노화가 아스팔트 콘크리트 포장에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위해 노화정도에 따른 부착성능 평가와 수분민감성 평가를 수행하였다. 연구결과 노화에 따라 아스팔트 바인더의 점성이 증가해 부착강도가 2~3배 이상 증가하였다. 또한 가속 노화시킨 아스팔트 혼합물의 경우 간접인장강도의 증가뿐만 아니라 TSR 값도 4.2~8.9 % 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따라 골재에 아스팔트 바인더가 피복된 상태에서 노화가 진행될 경우 아스팔트 바인더와 골재의 부착력이 증가하여 박리 저항성이 향상되는 것으로 분석되었다.

  • Many structural evaluation procedures of road and airfield pavements use the Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) as a critical element of non-destructive deflection testing. FWD is a trailer mounted device that provides accurate data on pavement response to dynamic wheel loads. A dynamic load is generated by dropping a mass from a variable height onto a loading plate. The magnitude of the load and the pavement deflection are measured by a load celt and geophones. And database concerning pavement damage should be enhanced to analyze loss of thickness asphalt layer caused from the plastic deformation of pavement structure, such as cracking or rutting. The prototype FWD is developed, which consists of chassis system, hydraulic loading system, data acquisition and analysis system. This system subsequently merged to from automation management system and is then validated and updated to produce a working FWD which can actually be used in the field.

  • OBJECTIVES : The objective of this research is to determine the integrity of pavement structures for areas where voids exist. Furthermore, we conducted the study of voided-area analysis and remaining life prediction for pavement structures using finite element method. METHODS : To determine the remaining life of the existing voided areas under asphalt concrete pavements, field and falling weight deflectometer (FWD) tests were conducted. Comparison methods were used to have better accuracy in the finite element method (FEM) analysis compared to the measured surface displacements due to the loaded trucks. In addition, the modeled FEM used in this study was compared with well-known software programs. RESULTS : The results show that a good agreement on the analyzed and measured displacements can be obtained through comparisons of the surface displacement due to loaded trucks. Furthermore, the modeled FEM program was compared with the available pavement-structure software programs, resulting in the same values of tensile strains in terms of the thickness of asphalt concrete layers. CONCLUSIONS : The study, which is related to voided-area analysis and remaining life prediction using FEM for pavement structures, was successfully conducted based on the comparison between our methods and the sinkhole grade used in Japan.

  • As a kind of intelligent materials, conductive asphalt concrete has a broad application prospect including melting ice and snow on the pavement, closing cracks in asphalt concrete, sensing pavement damage, and so on. Conductive pavement will be suffered from fatigue failure as conventional pavement in the process of service, and this fatigue damage of internal structure can be induced by electrical signal output. The characteristics of electrical signal variation of conductive asphalt concrete in the process of fatigue cracking were researched in this paper. The whole process was clearly divided into three stages according to resistance changes, and the development of fatigue damage wasn't obvious in stage I and stage II, while in stage III, the synchronicity between the resistance and damage began to appear. Thus, fatigue damage variable D and initial damage value $D_0$ represented by the functions of resistance were introduced in stage III. After calculating the initial damage value $D_0$ under different stress levels, it was concluded that the initial damage value $D_0$ had no noticeable change, just ranged between 0.24 and 0.25. This value represented a critical point which could be used to inform the repair time of early fatigue damage in the conductive asphalt pavement.
