Pavement management systems require systematic monitoring of pavement surfaces to determine preventive and corrective maintenance. The process involves the accumulation of large amounts of visual data, typically obtained from site visitation. The pavement surface condition is then correlated to a pavement distress index that is based on a scoring system previously established by state or federal agencies. The scoring system determines if the pavement section requires maintenance, overlay or reconstruction. One of the surface distresses forming part of the overall pavement distress index is the Alligator Crack Index (AC Index). The AC Index involves the visual evaluation of the crack severity of a section of a pavement as being low, medium, or high. This evaluation is then integrated into a formula in order to obtain the AC Index. In this study a quantification of the visual evaluation of the severity of alligator cracking is carried out using photographs and the fractal dimension concept from fractal theory. Pavements with low levels of cracking were found to have a fractal dimension equal to 1.051. Pavements with moderate levels of cracking had a fractal dimension equal to 1.1754. Pavements with high degrees of cracking had a fractal dimension that varied between 1.5037 (high) and 1.7111 (very high). Pavements with a level of cracking equal to 1.8976 represented pavements that disintegrated and developed potholes. Thus, the visual evaluation of the state of cracking of a pavement (the AC Index) could be enhanced with the use of the fractal dimension concept from fractal theory.

증가되는 항공교통량에 대해서 효율적으로 공항포장을 관리하기 위해서는 포장상태를 정기적으로 모니터링 할 필요가 있다. 이를 위하여 국내에서는 모든 공항에 대해 5년 주기로 포장평가를 실시하고 있다. 그러나 현재까지 사용된 기존의 포장 평가방법은 설계차트에 의한 원시적인 방법으로서 실제상황을 잘 반영하지 못한다라는 것이 문제점으로 지적되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 과거의 설계차트에 의한 포장 평가방법과 새로이 국내에 적용된 외국의 해석적인 포장 평가방법을 비교, 분석함으로써 각 방법별 차이점을 제시하였다. 또한 "P" 공항에 대한 실제 사례 연구를 통해 각 방법별 허용하중 결과를 산출하였고 장단점을 분석하였다. 연구 결과로 포장의 구조적 지지력 평가는 설계차트를 이용하는 것보다 해석적 접근방법이 더 논리적인 접근인 것으로 분석되었다.

지자체 도로예산 절감을 위해 소규모 지역도로의 통행환경을 고려한 소규모 지역도로 포장상태 평가 기준을 제시하고자 하였다. 지방 지자체에서 관리하는 지역도로의 경우 설계속도가 낮고 일정하지 않으며 중차량 통행량이 작아 비교적 중요도가 떨어지는 구간이다. 일반적으로 포장상태 조사에는 조사장비를 이용하나 고가의 운영비가 소요되어 소규모 지역도로 적용에는 효율성 문제가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 소규모 지역도로에 적합한 새로운 포장상태 평가지수를 제시하였다. 소규모 지역도로의 포장상태 평가는 제시된 평가지수에 따라 3등급으로 구분하였으며, 전문가 설문조사를 통해 타당성을 검토하였다. 제시된 평가지수는 포장상태 설문조사 결과와 $R^2$가 0.88로 매우 높은 상관성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 제한된 조건에서 육안 균열조사를 통해 산출된 포장상태평가지수는 소규모 지역도로에 활용이 가능하다. 또한 보다 경제적인 포장상태평가방법으로 지역도로 관리뿐 아니라 도로관리 예산절감에도 효과가 있을 것으로 기대된다.

PURPOSES : This study aims to evaluate the performance of interlocking block pavement system for low speed highway. METHODS : Through on-site monitoring, environmental impact assessment of interlocking block pavement such as heat island reduction, traffic safety, noise pollution were evaluated as compared with asphalt pavement. Also the pavement condition and roughness were evaluated according to performance period. RESULTS : Surface temperature of interlocking block pavement was about 7 degree lower than asphalt pavement in midsummer. Compared to asphalt pavement, vehicle speed reduction effect of interlocking block pavement was about 2kph. For low speed driving, the noise pollution was measured at a similar level for both asphalt and interlocking block pavement. After 42month service period, the breakage of block was only 0.24% for the whole surveyed area. IRI of interlock block pavement was estimated within the range of 5~8m/km. CONCLUSIONS : Depending on the performance monitoring results such as heat island reduction, providing traffic safety and keeping a good pavement condition for a long service period, it assures that interlocking block pavement was applicable for low speed road.

Temperature variation affect the response of asphalt pavement and should be considered in the evaluation of performance of the pavement. In this paper, HWAW method is applied to evaluate shear wave velocity(or shear modulus) of the asphalt pavement with temperature. HWAW method which is based on time-frequency analysis using harmonic wavelet transform have been developed to determine phase and group velocities of waves. This method minimize effect of noise and is not affected by mode jump effect which cause erroneous result when surface wave method is applied to pavement evaluation. In order to estimate the applicability of HWAW method, field tests were performed in 1 site and preliminary correlation between shear wave velocity(shear modulus) and asphalt pavement average temperature.

OBJECTIVES : This study develops an evaluation method, which is useful to inspect pavement condition of specific boroughs. This is because pavement condition is broadly divided into five grades via visual inspection, which does not consider the types of deteriorations, and is decided by an investigator having a subjective viewpoint. This visual inspection method is not a satisfactory method for accurate maintenance when various deteriorations occur. METHODS : The performance model considers several factors such as crack, rutting, and IRI. This method is also modified from borough SPI based on SPI (Seoul Pavement Index). Considering limited budget of borough, PI (prediction index) is suggested, which is related to the grade of pavement condition evaluation and type of materials. Practical correlation review is also conducted with statistical verification by using the Monte Carlo simulation. RESULTS : The results of the study show that modified criteria are reasonable. First, the comparison between the visual inspection result and the SPI result indicates that the R-square value is sufficiently high. Second, through the common section, each evaluation method could be compared, and the result shows considerable similarity, which increases when the range is modified. Finally, PI for predicting remaining life and the random number SPI have common parts, which means that each indicator would be adequate to be used as an evaluation method. CONCLUSIONS : Comparison and analysis results show that the developed evaluation method is reasonable for specific boroughs where financial support is inadequate for the evaluation process by using the newer equipment. Moreover, for more accurate evaluation method, previous visual inspection data should be utilized, and the database of inspection equipment have to be collected.

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.

포장의 합리적 유지관리를 위해서는 기본적으로 포장의 상태를 객관적으로 평가하고, 평가한 자료를 이용하여 경제성 분석을 실시함으로써 최적의 보수공법 및 보수우선순위를 결정해야 한다. 전체적인 포장 상태를 객관적으로 평가하기 위해서는 포장상태 평가지수와 같은 단일화된 평가 기준이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 고속도로 콘크리트 포장에 적합한 포장상태 평가지수를 개발하기 위하여 현장 상세조사 및 포장평가위원회의 평가를 실시하고, 그 결과의 회귀분석을 통해 포장평가지수를 개발하였다. 또한 개발된 포장평가지수를 이용하여 포장유지관리에서 이용되기 위한 보수공법그룹을 제시하였다. 개발된 포장평가지수의 상관계수는 0.68이었으며, 콘크리트 포장평가지수에 사용된 독립변수들은 종단평탄성, 균열, 패칭 등이었다.
