Over the years, most pavement designs based on soil strength and permanent strain are almost independent of soil elasticity. However, it was found that plasticity and elasticity of soil have both effected on the failure of pavement structures. The elasticity of soil, hence, using the resilient modulus is reflected for recent pavement design. Although the current AASHTO specifications(1986) for pavement design had changed the soil support value to the resilient modulus, triaxial devices conducting the resilient modulus test have not been fully equipped in a great majority of laboratories. Thus, in the present work, such a resilient modulus is usually derived(from CBR, K values, etc.) by estimating equations. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the resilient modulus of weathered granite soils sampled from 4 points of the central region of Korea by means of AASHTO T 274-82. According to this, some empirical equations for predicting that of the weathered granite soil are proposed and then, the relationship to convert CBR into the resilient modulus is developed.

Water content of sub-layer in pavement systems has a large effect on pavement performance. Many researchers lately make use of time-domain reflectometry(TDR) probes to measure the soil water content of sub-layer from field monitoring. The laboratory calibration test of TDR probe should be performed with soil field, because TDR probe can cause an error by type, gradation, density, and temperature of soil. This study performed the laboratory calibration test of TDR probe(CS616) with subgrade and subbase material in long term pavement performance(LTPP) sections. And the calibration equations of TDR probe(CS616) were then proposed. It was confirmed from the study that the data of TDR probe monitored in field could be used to estimate the freezing, unfrozen water content, and matric suction of soil.

The unconfined compressive strength of soil-cement mixed with red mud, an industrial by-product of alumina production, was investigated in the laboratory. The investigation involved laboratory tests under the various conditions such as red mud content, cement content, fly ash content and ratio of soil replacement with sands. The unconfined compressive strength tests were performed at 7, 14 and 21 days after specimen preparation. Results of the study show that the unconfined compressive strength increased as red mud and fly ash content decreased and cement content increased. Increasing the soil replacement ratio with sands had an insignificant effect on compressive strength because the soil had a similar particle size as the replacement sands.

The efforts to reduce carbon emission have been made in many aspects and in road, the study to develop the construction method which will replace asphalt and cement is also underway. But given the low cost and high performance offered by cement, among many solidification agents, it's difficult to seek the competent alternative. Polymeric material has been used in various ways for its advantages including lightweight and easy process for complex function and generates less carbon emission, and thus it would possibly be efficient if it replaces soil pavement using cement. This study, using three different types of organic polymeric solidification agents with different solidification principle, is intended to identify the difference in strength depending on curing method, natural dry or oven dry. Applicability of organic polymeric solidification agents to walkway and bike lane was investigated and as a result of unconfined strength test, all of them satisfied the minimum strength requirements of bike lane. Furthermore, strength characteristics of soil pavement depending on variation of water content was evaluated to identify the relationship, thereby appropriate curing method using organic polymeric solidification agent is proposed.

This study is conducted to utilize waste concrete powder (WCP) made as a by-product manufacturing high quality recycled aggregate. The blaine fineness of the used waste concrete powder was $928cm^2/g$. As the main characteristic of waste concrete powder, it showed an angular type similar to cement, but hydrated products were attached on the surface of particles. In addition, the size of the particles of waste concrete powder was larger than OPC and in terms of chemical components it had higher $SiO_2$ contents. For using WCP in soil cement-based pavement, the qualities, physical and chemical properties, of WCP should be researched. In the first step, the specified compressive strength of mortar for two types of clay sand soil and clay soil respectively was experimented to be 15 MPa and then optimum mixing ratio of chemical solidification agent were decided in the range of 1.5 - 3.0% in the replacement with cement weight content. In the second step, based on the prior experimental results, recycling possibility of WCP in soil cement-based pavement was studied. In the result of experiment the mixing ratio of WCP were 5, 10, 15 and 20% in the replacement with soil weight and the compressive strength of mortar was somewhat decreased according to the increase of the mixing ratio of WCP.

Red mud is an inorganic by-product produced from the mineral processing of alumina from Bauxite ores. the development of alkali-activated slag-red mud cement can be a representative study aimed at recycling the strong alkali of the red mud as a construction material. This study is to investigate the pore characteristics of alkali-activated slag-red mud soil pavement according to the red mud content. The results showed that the porosity of alkali-activated slag-red mud soil pavement increased but the compressive strength of that decreased as the red mud content increased.

For this study, alkali-activated slag red-mud pavement is manufactured to examine the usability of red-mud as a recycling material in the construction industry. In the compaction curve in terms of the replacement ratio of red mud by binder type, the dry density changed gradually depending on the water content, which implies that there is no distinct difference in compaction according to the replacement ratio of red mud. The compressive strength at 28 days was observed to be 18.9~27.0MPa in ASS, and 18.4~28.8MPa in OPC, showing a similar level between the specimens.
