최근에 국내에서 입법된 "지하안전관리에 관한 특별법"의 지하안전영향평가 등에서 지하매설물 및 굴착공사 관리의 중요성을 강조하고 있지만, 아직까지는 지하를 개발함에 있어 지반의 안전과 관련된 사항은 미흡한 실정으로 도심지 지반침하( Sinkhole) 현상이 매년 증가하고 있다. 그리고 지반침하(Sinkhole)는 발생이 될 경우 인명피해는 물론 도로나 주변 건물들에 막대한 피해를 줄 수 있는 소지가 충분한 대상으로 사료됨에도 불구하고 이러한 현상을 건설현장에서 심각하게 받아들이는 분위기는 어느 곳에서도 감지되지 않는다. 다만 정부부처나 공공기관에서 국회차원의 지대한 관심에 부응하여 이에 대해 광범위한 연구와 조사에 막대한 예산을 투입하여 다방면에서 진행되고 있는 것으로 파악되고 있다. 또한 이러한 연구결과의 자료를 근거로 하여 지반침하 사고의 주요 원인을 조사해본 결과 상하수도관 손상과 무리한 인접굴착공사 및 대부분의 대형건축공사 현장에 채택되고 있는 부력방지 대책의 일환인 영구배수공법의 무분별한 적용을 들 수 있었다. 이러한 상황에서 그 중 비용과 난이도를 고려현장에서 용이하게 저감할 수 있는 방법인 영구배수공법을 선정하여 영구배수공법의 이론적 고찰과 공학적 타당성(구조체 부상방지 안전성 검토기준)을 연구하여 무분별한 영구배수공법 적용으로 지반침하(Sinkhole)가 발생하는 것을 막아 인명피해와 도로나 구조물의 안전성을 확보하고 나아가 영구배수공법 적용으로 항구적 발생하는 천문학적인 유지관리비의 절감이 목적이다.

A long-term bridge monitoring system has been introduced and is under operation for long-term safety management of the structure. However, it is difficult to assess the condition of the quantitative structural system as it only measures responses and does not measure input loads. To overcome these shortcomings, FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating)-based input load measurement sensors were developed in this paper for measuring highway bridge input loads and their validity was verified through laboratory tests.

Based on the analysis of congestion conditions in small cities with a population of less than 500,000 in Chungcheong Province, this study conducted a feasibility study on the scope of congestion improvement projects. Further, traffic congestion management standards were further established by analyzing LOS as well as the speed of traffic presented by congestion criteria in the existing Project. According to the analysis according to the congestion management standard LOS suggested in this study, Asan city has the most major number of highways where LOS E occurs for more than 3 hours, followed by Sejong City and Gongju City. In addition, when comparing the ratio of the busy main roads according to the frequency of LOS E by city size, it was analyzed that the ratio and extension of the busy highways relative to the overall extension of the large Chungcheong area are similar to the ratio in small cities in the Chungcheong region. Therefore, traffic congestion occurred in small cities and the feasibility of the improvement project was revealed.

Generally, inappropriate driving conditions including geometric, traffic environmental, and driver psychological problems may be critical reasons of traffic accidents. Under this circumstance, various types of facilities have been installed to improve traffic safety by itself or as a set consisting of several other traffic safety facilities. In general, traffic accidents occur by several reasons combined rather than only a single reason, and thus the safety effect of the safety facilities cannot be simply analyzed with only a single improvement. For the study, traffic accident data on the roadway segments of interest are collected along with field survey data. For the analysis, various alternative analysis methods were evaluated in terms of assessing accident reduction from various types of traffic safety improvements. Among the alternative methods tested including simple before-and-after evaluation method, before-and-after evaluation yoked comparison, and Comparison Group (C-G) method, it was found that the C-G method is the most effective method for analyzing the traffic safety improvement effect. Adopting the C-G method, both single and multiple safety improvements were analyzed. The results from this study can potentially be applied to decide the best type of treatments to improve traffic safety as well as to measure the accident reduction effects from the treatments.

Crack sealing, a routine and necessary part of pavement maintenance, is a dangerous, costly, and labor-intensive operation. Within the North America, about ${\$}200$ million is spent annually on crack sealing, with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) spending about ${\$}7$ million annually (labor alone accounts for over 50 percent of these costs). Prompted by concerns of safety and cost, the University of Texas at Austin, in cooperation with TxDOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has developed a unique computer-guided Automated Road Maintenance Machine (ARMM) for pavement crack sealing. In 1999, successful field tests have been undertaken in 8 States around the U.S. This paper first describes significance of the automated crack sealing and technical advances in automated crack sealers including the ARMM, developed in the U.S. It then discusses the ARMM's field implementation and performance evaluation results, and improvements and modifications suggested through the technology evaluation during the field trials. Current research efforts and future work plans in its further development are also presented in this paper.

When railway crossing is required to be improved to improve road traffic efficiency, cost-benefits analysis is conducted. In the analysis, such benefits as the reduction of the delay in road vehicle traffic and related costs and reduction of traffic accidents have been appropriately estimated, however, which has not been the case for the reduction of railway operation costs and accidents. This omission may result in a significant difference in the total estimation of the benefits achievable in a long railway line where many of the crossings are improved or reconstructed. This would deteriorate the rationality of the benefit analysis. As the result, although there are various, significant benefits recognizable in the improvement of railway crossings, but they have not been included in the list of the benefits due to the difficulty in calculation. To this end, this paper proposes a methodology of the calculation of the benefits of railway crossing improvement by estimating the unit costs used in the estimation of the benefits obtainable by the reduction of the railway operation costs and the reduction of the accidents at a crossing on the basis of past studies and data.

Purpose of this paper is proposing technical evaluation method for safety on two-lane rural highways, this method can contribute to an establishment of the safety evaluation criteria and eventually contribute to the highway safety. In this study, accident data and field data(grade, radius, speed factor) are collected and are analyzed. And new technical evaluation method is proposed by problem in review of existent methods and analysis result. Property of new method is verified by comparing with existent one. Following are results of this study. 1) Proposed technical evaluation method is Proposed by using difference of speed variance and difference of acceleration. 2) In range of field survey, proposed method is more proper than existent one by comparing. 3) Headways under 6 second affect speed of next vehicle. 4) A point with the lowest speed in curve is placed about 35m from the beginning point. 5) Correlation of speed variance and severity of highway(EPDO) is statistically significant. For using proposed method, more tests are needed on other locations with various geometries. Moreover, advanced study is needed about classifying and giving the weight of each criterion.

This study was aimed to verify the validity of the flexural toughness evaluation method of steel fiber reinforced shotcrete(SFRS) currently being adopted by Korea Highway Corporation(KHC). Total 33 beam specimens using six different kinds of steel fiber products were prepared at tunnel construction sites and flexural toughness tests were executed at laboratory. Equivalent flexural strengths and toughness quotients were evaluated from the tests following the KHC guide iud these were compared with the quality grades determined under the guides proposed by ASTM, ITA and EFNARC. To discard the disadvantage that the toughness quotient could be influenced by flexural strength when following the KHC guide, a modification substituting the designed flexural strength for the flexural strength in the toughness quotient calculation formula was proposed to rate the quality of SFRS more adequately.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to validate the design criteria of the concrete modular road system, which is a new semi-bridge-type concept road, through a comparison of numerical analysis results and actual loading test results under static axial loads. METHODS : To design the semi-bridge-type modular road, both the bridge design code and the concrete structural design code were adopted. The standard truck load (KL-510) was applied as the major traffic vehicle for the design loading condition. The dimension of the modular slab was designed in consideration of self-weight, axial load, environmental load, and combined loads, with ultimate limit state coefficients. The ANSYS APDL (2010) program was used for case studies of center and edge loading, and the analysis results were compared with the actual mock-up test results. RESULTS : A full-scale mock-up test was successfully conducted. The maximum longitudinal steel strains were measured as about 35 and 83.5 micro-strain (within elastic range) at center and edge loading locations, respectively, under a 100 kN dual-wheel loading condition by accelerating pavement tester. CONCLUSIONS : Based on the results of the comparison between the numerical analysis and the full-scale test, the maximum converted stress range at the edge location is 32~51% of the required standard flexural strength under the two times over-weight loading condition. In the case of edge loading, the maximum converted stresses from the Westergaard equation, the ANSYS APDL analysis, and the mock-up test are 1.95, 1.7, and 2.3 times of that of the center loading case, respectively. The primary reason for this difference is related to the assumption of the boundary conditions of the vertical connection between the slab module and the crossbeam module. Even though more research is required to fully define the boundary conditions, the proposed design criteria for the concrete modular road finally seems to be reasonable.
