Abstract

Asphalt Plug Joint(APJ) is a new type of expansion joint that it's application are increased in USA as well as several European countries. APJ's' advantages are cheap construction and maintenance costs, and simple construction and securing of excellent flatness. However, APJ's usability is hindered because it showed a problem of premature failure. Research for solving this problem has been progressed, and FEM analysis among existing researches was peformed. However, the behavior of APJ was insufficiently analyzed and the reliability of the analysis was much low, since the material showing complicated behavior was oversimplified, Therefore, a material model was proposed and its effectiveness was confirmed by comparing it with actual behavior in order to improve the reliability of FEM analysis in this paper. ABAQUS program was used for FEM analysis, and an elasto-plastic model and a viscous-plastic model as the material model of APJ were suggested on the base of experiment results of APJ material performed by Bramel et al. The elasto-plastic model was defined by time-independent analysis since it didn't consider time and strain rate, and the viscous-plastic model was defined by time-dependent analysis since it considered. Influence of various elements affecting the behavior of APJ was investigated, and it was confirmed that the time-dependent analysis showed better result closed to actual behavior than the time-independent analysis.

Asphalt Plug Joint(APJ)는 미국을 비롯한 유럽의 여러 국가에서 적용사례가 늘어가고 있는 새로운 형태의 신축이음장치이다. APJ는 시공 및 유지보수 비용이 저렴하고 시공이 간단하며, 우수한 평탄성을 확보한다는 장점을 가지고 있으나 조기파손되는 문제점이 드러나 사용성을 방해하고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 연구가 진행되어 왔고, 기존 연구 중 FEM 해석을 수행하였으나 FEM 해석시 재료를 너무 단순화하여 해석함으로써 해석의 신뢰성이 많이 떨어져 신축이음장치의 거동을 분석하는데 미흡하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 FEM 해석의 신뢰성을 높이기 위해 새로운 재료모델을 제안하고 실제 거동과 비교하여 유효성을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 FEM 해석은 ABAQUS 전산 프로그램를 사용하였으며 재료모델은 Bramel et al.이 APJ 재료 시험한 결과를 근거로 탄소성모델과 점탄성모델을 제안하였다. 탄소성모델은 시간에 따른 변형속도를 반영하지 못하므로 시간독립해석으로 정의하였으며, 점소성 모델은 변형속도를 반영하므로 시간의존해석으로 정의하였다. 해석을 통해 APJ의 거동에 영향을 미치는 다양한 요소의 영향을 검토하였으며, 시간의존해석이 실제 실험결과와 비슷한 거동을 나타냄을 확인하였다.
