Abstract

In this study, the resilient modulus test and Light Weight Deflectormeter (LWD) test were conducted to simulate the moving vehicle load for the evaluation of the internal failure of epoxy asphalt pavement. The Measured displacement in the resilient modulus test of epoxy asphalt concrete showed very little residual deformation under repeated loads unlike the conventional asphalt. Therefore, the test results were evaluated as a normal state due to its similarity with elastic deformation. The deflection results from the resilient modulus tests were converted to the surface deflection modulus and the normal range of surface deflection modulus was estimated applying LWD measurement of 1 SIGMA level. Internal failure of pavements were estimated using the suspicious failure range at $60^{\circ}C$ and hysteresis. Internal moisture penetration and a decrease in bonding were observed in partial areas at $140{\mu}m$ of surface deflection. However, the areas showed inflection points in the hysteresis. Field investigation by suggested criterion indicated a high degree of accuracy.

본 연구는 에폭시 아스팔트 포장 내부 상태 평가를 위해 이동 차량하중 모사가 가능한 회복탄성계수 실험과 LWD 실험을 수행하였다. 회복탄성계수 실험에서 측정된 변위는 일반 아스팔트와 달리 잔류변형이 매우 미소한 수준으로 탄성변형과 유사한 거동을 보여 정상 상태로 해석해도 무리가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 회복탄성계수에서 측정된 변위 결과를 처짐 탄성계수로 변환 후 1 SIGMA 단계를 적용하여 정상 처짐 탄성계수 범위를 산정하였다. $60^{\circ}C$에서의 파손 의심 처짐 범위와 하중-변위 선도 개형으로 포장 내부 상태를 예측하였다. 정상 표면처짐 구간인 $140{\mu}m$의 일부 구간에서 수분 침투 및 접착성능 저하가 관찰되었으나, 하중-변위 선도 개형에서 변곡점 발생 구간으로 확인되었다. 현장 확인 결과 제시된 기준은 높은 수준의 정확도를 보이는 것으로 나타났다.
