Grading of aggregate influences significantly almost all of the concrete performances. The purpose of this paper is to propose practicable equations that express the optimized total aggregate gradation, by weight or by number of particles in a concrete mix. The principle is based on the fractal feature of the grading of combined aggregate in a solid skeleton of concrete. Therefore, equations are derived based on the so-called fractal dimension of the grain size distribution of aggregates. Obtained model was then applied in such a way a correlation between some properties of the dry concrete mix and the fractal dimension of the aggregate gradation has been built. This demonstrates that the parameter fractal dimension is an efficacious tool to establish a unified model to study the solid phase of concrete in order to design aggregate gradation to meet certain requirements or even to predict some characteristics of the dry concrete mixture.

OBJECTIVES : This study is to develop the optimum mixing proportions for cement concrete pavement with using recycled aggregates. METHODS : The mixture varied recycled coarse aggregates content from 50 % to 100 % to replace the natural coarse aggregates by weight. Tests for fundamental properties as a cement concrete pavement were conducted before and after hardening of the concrete. RESULTS : It was found that the variation in the amount of the recycled aggregate affected the compressive and flexural strength development, as well as the chloride ion penetration resistance. As the amount of the recycled aggregate content increased the compressive and flexural strength and the resistance to chloride ion penetration decreased. However, the resistance to freeze-thaw reaction was affected significantly. In addition, the gradation of the aggregate became worse and hence so did the coarseness factor as the recycled aggregate amount increased. CONCLUSIONS : The fundamental properties of the concrete with recycled aggregate does not seem to be appropriate when the recycled aggregate quality is not guaranteed up to a some level and its replacement ratio is over 50%. The optimized gradation of the aggregates should also be sought when the recycled aggregate is used for the cement concrete pavement materials.

본 연구에서는 콘크리트의 건조수축을 저감시키며 강도와 내구성을 높임과 동시에 콘크리트의 주간 태양광에 의한 반사도를 줄인 저수축, 저반사, 고강도, 고내구성, 콘크리트 포장재료를 개발하였다. 문헌조사를 바탕으로 건조수축 저감과 장기강도 발현에 효과가 있는 플라이 애쉬와 반사도를 저감시키기 위하여 검은색 안료를 넣고 강도와 내구성을 좋게 하기 위해 최적입도를 고려하여 배합설계를 하였다. 실내실험을 통해 검은색 안료의 첨가율에 따른 명암값과 반사율은 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났으며 최적입도를 고려하면 강도와 내구성에서 좋은 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 플라이 애쉬를 사용한 배합이 건조수축 저감에 효과가 있었으며 염화이온 침투 저항성도 높은 것으로 드러났다. 플라이 애쉬(25% 치환)와 검은색 안료(3% 첨가)를 넣고 최적입도를 고려한 배합이 건조수축과 반사율 저감, 강도와 내구성 향상에 가장 적합한 배합으로 판단하였다. 경제성 분석을 통하여 일반 콘크리트 포장보다 저수축 저반사 고강도 고내구성 콘크리트 포장이 초기공사비는 많은 것으로 분석되었지만 장기적인 관점에서 유지보수비용과 사회비용 감소로 인하여 경제성으로 타당한 것으로 나타났다.

PURPOSES : In this study, analyze the characteristics of IOC indicator 'threshold' which is needed when evaluating the traffic signal operation status with ESPRESSO in various grade road traffic environment of Seoul metropolitan city and derive suggested value to use in field practice. METHODS : Using the computerized database program (Postgresql), we extracted data with regional characteristics (Arterial, Collector road) and temporal characteristics (peak hour, non-peak hour). Analysis of variance and Duncan's validation were performed using statistical analysis program (SPSS) to confirm whether the extracted data contains statistical significance. RESULTS : The analysis period of the main and secondary arterial roads was confirmed to be suitable from 14 days to 60 days. For the arterial, it is suggested to use 20 km/h as the critical speed for PM peak hour and weekly non peak hour. It is suggested to use 25 km/h as the critical speed for AM peak hour and night non peak hour. As for the collector road, it is suggested to use 20 km/h as the critical speed for PM peak hour and weekly non peak hour. It is suggested to use 30 km/h as the critical speed for AM peak hour and night non peak hour. CONCLUSIONS : It is meaningful from a methodological point of view that it is possible to make a reasonable comparative analysis on the signal intersection pre-post analysis when the signal operation DB is renewed by breaking the existing traffic signal operation evaluation method.
