Recently, there has been growing interest in barrier-free design which makes safe and convenient space for every pedestrian, not only the non-disabled but also the disabled. The purpose of this study is to suggest the data on the pavement materials of barrier-free pedestrian environment in view of universal design. In order to this, the research is focused on evaluating the visual preference and preference factors for pavement scenery, which can be changed by pavement materials. And this research is also comparing the visual preference and preference factors of the disabled with that of the non-disabled. A multi-regression analysis method is adopted to analyse the correlation between the visual preference for pavement scenery and preference factors in this study. The result of this analysis is as follows. Firstly, there are some differences of visual preference for the pavement material between the disabled and the non-disabled. Secondly, independent variables influencing on preference are similar between two groups. Thirdly, there are some differences in the priority of preference between the disabled and the non-disabled. This study will contribute to the field of barrier-free design and sustainable development projects in order to maximize the human being's satisfaction.

It has been past for many years that soil-cement used in the field of roadway pavement in America and Europe. Though the design and construction criteria on soil-cement pavement have been well setablished in Korea's specificaions, this method has not been applied in roadway pavements, in practices. It is mainly caused by the lacks of experiences in soil-cement pavement design and construction. In this study, the problems of soil-cement pavement in use were explored, and the structure and fatigue like of soil-cement bases and subbases were estimated.

The pavement stiffness is scarcely used in structural analysis to design the superstructure of bridge. It is reasonable not to consider it in the case of asphalt concrete pavement over concrete deck because the pavement stiffness compared with the concrete deck plate can be ignored. However, sometimes, the pavement materials have a similar amount of elastic modulus to concrete and are applied to the orthotropic steel deck plate which has relatively less stiffness compared with the concrete deck plate. In this paper, the steel plate deck of a real bridge project was analyzed by considering the pavement stiffness by linear elastic FEM. It was assumed that a perfect bond between the steel plate deck and the pavement exited. The results indicated that the structural behavior of the orthotropic steel deck plate can be estimated enough to affect the evaluation result of structural capacity in some cases. Therefore, the investigations by experimental tests and more advanced numerical model are indispensible in figuring the design formula for considering the effects of pavement stiffness in the structural analysis of an orthotropic bridge.

아스팔트 콘크리트 포장체는 기후변화에 따라 각 층의 물성이 변화하는 특성을 갖고 있다. 따라서 아스팔트 콘크리트 포장체의 설계 및 해석에 있어서는 물성변화 특성을 고려한 대표적 기후조건에서 포장재료의 물성치를 적용하여, 포장체의 설계 또는 구조해석을 실시하여야 할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 아스팔트 콘크리트 포장체의 설계 및 해석과 관련하여 우리나라에 적합한 대표적 기후조건인 설계온도를 추정하기 위하여, damage effect 분석에 의한 설계온도 추정 알고리즘을 제안하고 이를 전산화하였다. 분석대상 지역은 서울, 대전, 부산 3지역으로 하고 각 지역의 기후특성자료와 정부, 호남, 남해고속도로의 6개 포장단면에 본 연구 제안의 알고리즘 해석과정을 적용하여 국내조건의 설계온도를 추정하였으며, 추정한 설계온도 조건에 적합한 아스팔트 콘크리트 포장체의 파괴기준식을 제안하였다. 연구결과 우리나라의 설계온도는 $17^{\circ}C$가 적합함이 밝혀졌다. 설계온도 $17^{\circ}C$는 아스팔트 콘크리트 표층온도 $23.6^{\circ}C$에 해당되기 때문에 현재 국내에서 사용되는 재료 온도 $20^{\circ}C$에서의 아스팔트 콘크리트 표층 재료의 물성치(AASHTO의 경우)는 과대 평가되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 본 연구에서의 설계온도 추정치, $17^{\circ}C$는 SHELL Design Chart에 의한 결과와 유사함을 알 수 있었다.

PURPOSES : The hydrated lime-modified asphalt, which improves moisture resistance, is normally used for pavements to reduce the number of potholes. However, the method of applying the material properties of the lime-modified asphalt mixture for use in pavements is not covered in the Korean Pavement Research Program (KPRP). The objective of this research is to find a method for the design application of lime-modified asphalt's material properties to the KPRP. METHODS: The section for test design is selected in some conditions which are related to the level of design regarding Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT). To define the application methods of hydrated lime in the KPRP, the models of fatigue, rut and international roughness index (IRI) are determined based on the M-EPDG test results from some earlier research results. Moreover, it is well known that dynamic moduli of the unmodified mixture are not different from those of the lime-modified mixture. RESULTS: The performance results of hydrated lime-modified asphalt pavement were not very much different from those of the unmodified pavement, which meant the limited design regulations regarding fatigue failure, rutting deformation and IRI. CONCLUSIONS: The KPRP uses the weather model from the data for previous 10 years. It implies that the KPRP cannot predict abnormal climate changes accurately. Hence, the predictive weather data regarding the abnormal climate changes are unreliable. Secondly, the KPRP cannot apply the moisture resistance of asphalt mixtures. Therefore, a second level of design study will have to be performed to reflect the influence of moisture. It means that the influence on pavement performance can be changed by the application of hydrated lime in asphalt mixture design.

본 논문에서는 포스트텐션 콘크리트 포장(PTCP: Post-Tensioned Concrete Pavement)과 줄눈 콘크리트 포장(JCP: Jointed Concrete Pavement)이 접속되는 터미널 조인트의 시공시 초기 줄눈 폭 설계에 대하여 연구하였다. PTCP와 JCP 사이의 줄눈 폭은 소음과 승차감에 직접 영향을 미치는 요소이다. 초기 설계 줄눈 폭이 지나치게 크면 소음과 승차감을 저하시키고, 줄눈 폭이 지나치게 작게 되면 온도 상승시 슬래브의 팽창과 블로우업 발생으로 압축응력이 과도하게 작용하여 줄눈부 파손을 야기할 수 있기 때문이다. 본 연구는 온도변화에 따른 터미널조인트의 줄눈 폭의 연구를 위하여 PTCP와 JCP가 시공된 동해고속도로 주문진현장에서 2010년 8월과 11월에 줄눈 폭 데이터를 측정하고 분석하여 최적의 줄눈 폭 설계방안을 제시하였다.

One of the major issues in the material-based or acceptance quality characteristics asphalt pavement Quality Assurance (QA) is that the method does not have rationality to link between the individual materials and the projected performance of the pavement. A new asphalt mix QA method has been recently developed under a national research project using the probabilistic Performance Related Specification (PRS). This advanced PRS QA methodology integrates the AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design$^{(R)}$ technology with the simple performance test concept that bridges the material characteristics with the pavement performance. This paper presents a case study of asphalt pavement performance using the developed PRS QA computer program, named Quality Related Specification Software (QRSS), with an actual pavement project, to demonstrate the developed PRS procedure and to assess the robustness of QRSS in terms of the rationality of the distress predictions. The results of this limited case study show that the new PRS QA method reasonably predicts the pavement performance, properly applied the probabilistic methods, and produced rational pay adjustment.

Decrease in availability of suitable subbase and base course materials for highway construction leads to a search for economic method of converting locally available troublesome soil to suitable one for highway construction. Present study insights on evaluation of benefits of stabilization of subgrade soils in term of extension in service life (TBR) and layer thickness reduction (LTR). Laboratory investigation consisting of Atterberg limit, Compaction, California Bearing Ratio, unconfined compressive strength and triaxial shear strength tests were carried out on two types of soil for varying percentages of stabilizers. Vertical compressive strains at the top of unstabilized and stabilized subgrade soils were found out by elastoplastic finite element analysis using commercial software ANSYS. The values of vertical compressive strains at the top of unstabilized and stabilized subgrade, were further used to estimate layer thickness reduction or extension in service life of the pavement due to stabilization. Finite element modeling of the flexible pavement layered structure provides modern technology and sophisticated characterization of materials that can be accommodated in the analysis and enhances the reliability for the prediction of pavement response for improved design methodology. If the pavement section is kept same for unstabilized and stabilized subgrade soils, pavement resting on lime, fly ash and fiber stabilized subgrade soil B will have service life 2.84, 1.84 and 1.67 times than that of unstabilized pavement respectively. The flexible pavement resting on stabilized subgrade is beneficial in reducing the construction material. Actual savings would depend on the option exercised by the designer for reducing the thickness of an individual layer.

Latex Modified Concrete(LMC) has been widely used for the pavement of highway bridges over the past 35years around the world since it is more resistant to the intrusion of chloride ions, has higher tensile, compressive, and flexural strength, and has greater freeze-thaw resistance. However, in Korea, it has not been introduced to fields due to higher initial construction cost for its overlay compared with that of conventional pavement materials. Due to durable characteristics, it should be noted that the LMC may be more cost-effective than conventional pavements such as asphalt pavement, when life-cycle cost(LCC) concept is considered. The objective of this study is intended to suggest a practical LCC analysis model for pavement projects and to demonstrate relative cost-effectiveness of the LMC overlays in comparison with conventional pavement techniques. It may be stated that the procedure proposed in this study may be utilized for making optimal decision on cost-effective pavement design.
