롤러전압콘크리트(Roller Compacted Concrete Pavement, RCCP) 공법은 적은 단위수량이 포함된 콘크리트 혼합물을 아스팔트 피니셔와 다짐 롤러를 이용하여 시공하는 공법이다. RCCP는 다짐 수준에 따라 강도 및 내구성에 많은 영향을 받게 된다. 또한 품질관리는 건조밀도를 기준으로 다짐도 관리를 시행하고 있다. 현장에서 최적의 건조단위중량을 모사하기 위해 수정다짐시험을 실시한다. 그러나 RCCP를 위한 수정다짐시험의 다짐곡선 분석에 명확한 기준이 제시되어 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 함수비당 세 개의 샘플에 의한 수정다짐곡선의 기준을 설정하고 설정된 다짐곡선과 비교하여 더 적은실험횟수와의 신뢰성을 분석하기 위해 반복재현성을 고찰하였다. 이로 인해 세 번의 실험에 의한 수정다짐시험과 비교하여 두 번의 수정다짐시험은 0.5% 오차가 발생되며 신뢰도는 99.5% 이다.

국내 최초로 시공되는 롤러다짐 콘크리트 댐(RCD)의 온도균열 관리방안 수립하기 위하여 RCD 공법의 시공특성인 층(layer) 타설 방식을 고려하여, 댐체의 온도분포 및 온도응력 해석을 수행하였다. RCD 공법은 수 백 개의 시공단계로 구성되어 있고, 실제 타설 층을 시공단계로 해석하는 것과 6층을 한 시공단계로 시공하는 경우를 비교하여 해석 단계의 단순화 가능성을 검토하였으며, 단위시멘트량이 $130kg/m^3$ 내외로 발열량이 매우 작은 RCD 배합의 경우에도 여름철에는 온도균열 지수가 1.0 이하로 나타나 온도관리의 필요성을 확인하였다.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has recommended the use of AASHTOWare Pavement Mechanistic-Empirical Design (PMED) software for Roller-Compacted Concrete (RCC) pavement design, but specific calibration for RCC is missing. This study investigates the software's capacity to predict the long-term performance of RCC roadways within the framework of conventional concrete pavement calibration. By reanalyzing existing RCC projects in several U.S. states: Colorado, Arkansas, South Carolina, Texas, and Illinois, the study highlights the need for specific calibration tailored to the unique characteristics of RCC. Field observations have emphasized occurrence of early distresses in RCC pavements, particularly transverse-cracking and joint-related issues. Despite data challenges, the AASHTOWare PMED software exhibits notable correlation between its long-term predictions and actual field performance in RCC roadways. This study stresses that RCC applications with insufficient joint spacing and thickness are prone to premature cracking. To enhance the accuracy of RCC pavement design, it is essential to discuss the inclusion of RCC as a dedicated rigid pavement option in AASHTOWare PMED. This becomes particularly crucial when the rising popularity of RCC roadways in the U.S. and Canada is considered. Such an inclusion would solidify RCC as a viable third option alongside Jointed Plain Concrete Pavements (JPCP) and Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements (CRCP) for design and deployment of rigid pavements. The research presents a roadmap for future calibration endeavors and advocates for the integration of RCC pavement as a distinct pavement type within the software. This approach holds promise for achieving more precise RCC pavement design and performance predictions.

롤러전압콘크리트포장 공법은 기존 시멘트 콘크리트 공법의 재료 특성 및 아스팔트 포장의 시공특성을 공유하는 포장 방식이다. 일반 시멘트 콘크리트 포장의 우수한 구조적 성능을 유지하면서, 아스팔트 시공 장비를 사용하여 간소한 시공절차로 경제성을 확보할 수 있다. 롤러전압콘크리트포장 공법은 수화반응과 롤러다짐에 의한 골재 맞물림 효과로 일반 시멘트 콘크리트 포장보다 적은 시멘트량을 사용하여도 충분한 강도를 발현할 수 있다. 또한 일반 시멘트 콘크리트 포장과 동등한 강도 특성을 발휘 할 수 있으며, 본 연구에서는 RCCP의 다짐도와 압축강도의 관계를 정량적으로 도출하고자 한다. 롤러전압콘크리트의 다짐에너지를 변화시키면서 다양한 다짐도를 갖는 시편을 제작하였다. 다짐도는 시편의 건조단위중량과 최대건조단위중량의 비로 정의하였으며, 다양한 다짐도로 성형된 시편의 28일 압축강도를 평가하였고, 다짐도에 따른 강도비의 관계를 도출 하였다. 따라서 롤러전압콘크리트 공법의 국내 현장적용을 위한 다짐도에 따른 강도비의 중요성을 부각하여 현장 다짐도 관리에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

A combined thermal and mechanical action in roller compacted concrete (RCC) dam analysis is carried out using a three-dimensional finite element method. In this work a numerical procedure for the simulation of construction process and service life of RCC dams is presented. It takes into account the more relevant features of the behavior of concrete such as hydration, ageing and creep. A viscoelastic model, including ageing effects and thermal dependent properties is adopted for the concrete. The different isothermal temperature influence on creep and elastic modulus is taken into account by the maturity concept, and the influence of the change of temperature on creep is considered by introducing a transient thermal creep term. Crack index is used to assess the risk of occurrence of crack either at short or long term. This study demonstrates that, the increase of the elastic modulus has been accelerated due to the high temperature of hydration at the initial stage, and consequently stresses are increased.

Roller compacted concrete (RCC) used in the island reef airport runway will be subjected to the coupling actions of the fatigue impacts and the salt spray cycles, which will accelerate the deterioration of runway concrete and even threaten the flight safety. A cyclic impact testing machine and a climatic chamber were used to simulate the low-velocity fatigue impact and the salt spray cycles, respectively. The physical properties, the microstructures and the porosity of RCC were investigated. The results show the flexural strength firstly increases and then decreases with the increase of the fatigue impacts and the salt spray cycles. However, the decrease in the flexural strength is significantly earlier than the compressive strength of RCC only subjected to the salt spray cycles. The chlorine, sulfur and magnesium elements significantly increase in the pores of RCC subjected to 30000 fatigue impacts and 300 salt spray cycles, which causes the decrease in the porosity of RCC. The coupling effects of the fatigue impacts and the salt spray cycles in the later period accelerates the deterioration of RCC.

최근 화석자원의 고갈과 대기오염의 피해를 저감하기 위해 자전거의 이용을 적극적으로 장려하고 있으며 이를 위해 자전거도로 건설이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 현재 사용 중인 자전거도로 포장은 이용 하중에 비해 높은 성능과 시공비용을 지니고 있어 효율적인 건설을 위해 경제적인 도로포장형식이 필요하다. 롤러 전압 콘크리트 포장은 시멘트 경화 반응과 다짐으로 인한 골재 맞물림에 따른 높은 구조적 성능을 확보할 수 있다. 또한 시공이 간단하고 건설비가 적어서 자전거도로에 적용하기 위한 우수한 조건을 갖추고 있다. 그러나 롤러 전압 콘크리트 포장의 불량한 표면 미관과 제설제 피해에 대한 취약성은 자전거도로 건설에서 문제로 작용하고 있다. 따라서 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해 표면 미관의 개선과 환경하중에 대한 피해를 저감 할 수 있을 것으로 예상되는 코팅공법을 이용하였으며 이에 대한 효과를 검증하기 위해 롤러 전압 콘크리트 포장의 코팅에 따른 성능을 검토하였다.

The effect of galleries on the earthquake behavior of dams should be investigated to obtain more realistic results. Therefore, a roller compacted concrete (RCC) dam with and without galleries are examined under ground motion effects. For this purpose, Cine RCC dam constructed in Aydın, Turkey, is selected in applications. The optimal mesh around galleries is investigated to obtain the most realistic results. Two-dimensional finite element models of Cine RCC dam with and without galleries are prepared by using ANSYS software. Empty and full reservoir conditions were taken into account in the time-history analyses. Hydrodynamic effect of the reservoir water was taken into account considering two-dimensional fluid finite elements based on the Lagrangian approach. It is examined that how principle stresses and displacements change by height and during earthquake. The dam-foundation-reservoir interaction was taken into consideration with contact-target element pairs. The displacements and principle stress components obtained from the linear analyses are compared each other for various cases of reservoir water and galleries. According to numerical analyses, the effect of galleries is clear on the response of RCC dam. Besides, hydrodynamic water effect obviously increases the principle stress components and horizontal displacements of the dam.

In this paper, the effects of both pozzolans and (steel and poly-propylene) fibers on the mechanical properties of roller compacted concrete are studied. Specimens for the experiments were made using a soil-based approach; thus, the Kango's vibration hammer was used for compaction. The tests in the first stage were carried out to determine the optimal moisture requirements for mix designs using cubic $150{\times}150{\times}150$ mm specimens. In the tests of the second stage, the mechanical behaviors of the main specimens made using the optimal moisture obtained in the previous stage were evaluated using 28, 90, and 210 day cubic specimens. The mechanical properties of RCC pavements were evaluated using a soil-based compaction method and the optimum moisture content obtained from the pertaining experiments, and by adding different percentages of Iranian pozzolans as well as different amounts of steel fibers, each one accompanied by 0.1% of poly-propylene fibers. Using pozzolans, maximum increase in compressive strength was observed to occur between 28 and 90 days of age, rupture modulus was found to decrease, but toughness indices did not change considerably. The influence of steel fibers on compressive strength was often more significant than that of PP fibers, but neither steel nor PP fibers did contribute to increase in the rupture modulus independently. Also, the toughness indices increased when steel fibers were used.
