PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to verify the effects of fiber grid reinforcement on the thickness reduction of asphalt pavement. Test sections were constructed on the national highway to evaluate the structural capacity of asphalt pavement with the reinforced fiber grid and normal asphalt pavement. METHODS : Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) tests were performed to measure the structural capacity of test sections. The loads of the FWD test are 4.1 ton, 8.0 ton, 10.0 ton, and loaded twice, respectively. The test sections consist of a reference asphalt pavement section, an asphalt pavement section reduced with a 5-cm base layer thickness, and a fiber grid reinforced asphalt pavement section reduced with a 5-cm base layer thickness. In addition, strain data was collected using strain gauges installed in the test sections. RESULTS : The results of the FWD tests showed that the deflections of the pavement section reinforced with the fiber grid was reduced by about 14% compared with that of the reference asphalt pavement section. The strain at the bottom of the asphalt surface layer of the pavement section reduced to a 5-cm base thickness and reinforced with a fiber grid was similar to that at the bottom of the asphalt layer of the reference asphalt pavement. CONCLUSIONS : The results of the FWD and strain tests showed the possibility of the pavement thickness reduction by reinforcement with a fiber grid.

A prototype probabilistic approach to thickness design for asphalt pavement surface course was developed using first-order second moment probability model. The tensile strain (load effect) developing at the bottom of surface layer due to the wheel load and the critical strain (resistance) of asphalt concrete were used as random variables for pavement reliability analysis. Based on the parameters for load effect and resistance data collected from reference and field, simulated data were generated by Monte Carlo method for reliability evaluation of the pavement for a typical rural highway. Thickness of pavement surface course was defined in terms of target reliability of the pavement, growth factor of traffic, design life of pavement and resistance of the asphalt concrete to be placed on the pavement. According to these rationales, prototype thickness design chrats were sugested through example studies. From these, similar design charts can be developed for many pavements if appropriate data and target reliability are determined.

PURPOSES : Recently, the mechanistic-empirical overlay pavement design program that is linked with Korea Pavement Research Program (KPRP) has been developed. This paper focused on establishing the framework and developing the program for the asphalt overlay design over the existing asphalt concrete pavement. METHODS : The overlay pavement design program developed in this study was investigated to assess the sensitivity to various pavement conditions, such as the damage level and thickness of existing layers. In addition, the actual overlay design on currently performing pavement was carried out as a practical example. RESULTS : From the sensitivity analysis, it was found that the thickness and damage level of existing asphalt layer mostly affect the overlay design results. In addition, under the same condition, the overlay pavement would better perform in cold region. From the overlay design with the actual condition, it is noted that the overlay thickness varies depending on the given condition. CONCLUSIONS : Based on various evaluations, it was concluded that the overlay design program developed in this study is a reliable and reasonable tool to be used in the actual pavement design.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to propose a quality control and quality assurance method for use during asphalt pavement construction using non-destructive methods, such as ground penetrating radar (GPR) and an infrared (IR) camera. METHODS : A 1.0 GHz air-coupled GPR system was used to measure the thickness and in situ density of asphalt concrete overlay during the placement and compaction of the asphalt layer in two test construction sections. The in situ density of the asphalt layer was estimated based on the dielectric constant of the asphalt concrete, which was measured as the ratio of the amplitude of the surface reflection of the asphalt mat to that of a metal plate. In addition, an IR camera was used to monitor the surface temperature of the asphalt mat to ensure its uniformity, for both conventional asphalt concrete and fiber-reinforced asphalt (FRA) concrete. RESULTS : From the GPR test, the measured in situ air void of the asphalt concrete overlay gradually decreased from 12.6% at placement to 8.1% after five roller passes for conventional asphalt concrete, and from 10.7% to 5.9% for the FRA concrete. The thickness of the asphalt concrete overlay was reduced from 7.0 cm to 6.0 cm for the conventional material, and from 9.2 cm to 6.4 cm for the FRA concrete. From the IR camera measurements, the temperature differences in the asphalt mat ranged from $10^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$ in the two test sections. CONCLUSIONS : During asphalt concrete construction, GPR and IR tests can be applicable for monitoring the changes in in situ density, thickness, and temperature differences of the overlay, which are the most important factors for quality control. For easier and more reliable quality control of asphalt overlay construction, it is better to use the thickness measurement from the GPR.

PURPOSES : Surface treatment material for pavement preventive maintenance should be inspected field applicability. This study(Part II) aimed to checkup coating characteristics and performance analysis using lab and field tests. The hydrophobic - low viscosity filling material for pavement preventive maintenance is presented in Part I, which is a series of companion study. METHODS : Relative comparison between general asphalt mixtures and surface treatment asphalt mixtures are analyzed and measured for the field application such as indirect tensile strength ratio(TSR), abrasion resistance, crack propagation resistance, temperature resistance, coating thickness, permeability resistance and skid resistance in terms of british pendulum number(BPN). RESULTS : It is found that TSR, crack propagation resistance and permeability resistance is increased as against uncoated asphalt specimen. Abrasion resistance and temperature resistance is secured from the initial coating thickness point of view, which is about 0.2~0.3mm. Skid resistance on the surface treatment pavement is satisfied with the BPN criteria of national highway because of exposed aggregate and crack sill induced pavement deterioration and damage cracks. CONCLUSIONS : The hydrophobic - low viscosity surface treatment material for pavement preventive maintenance is validated on field applicability evaluation based on quantitative analysis of coating thickness and performance analysis using lab and field tests.

아스팔트 포장의 투수성은 포장의 장기적 공용성에 아주 큰 영향을 미친다. 특히, 시공 시 포설 두께에 따른 투수계수가 크게 변화하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이 연구에서는 많이 사용되고 있는 밀입도 아스팔트 포장의 시공 시 포설두께에 따른 물성치와 투수계수를 실내에서 측정하여 포설두께에 따른 물성치의 상관관계를 도출하고자 하였다. 실제 포설 현장에서 직접 시편을 코어 채취하여 실내시험을 수행하였다. 포설되는 포장의 두께, 다짐횟수가 다른 위치에서 시료를 채취하였으며 각각의 조건에 따른 실험결과를 비교/분석하였다. 연구결과 겉보기밀도와 t/NMAS가 감소할수록 투수계수는 증가하였고, 공극률이 증가할수록 투수계수가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 현재 사용되고 있는 일률적인 포설두께에 대한 시공법을 투수계수 변화를 고려하여 다소 조정 할 필요가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

PURPOSES : This study proposes standards for rural access road pavement section and thickness design considering existing access road construction conditions; the study also proposes a complementary policy that can be used for design convenience. METHODS : Various literature review and case studies had been performed in terms of rural access road section and thickness design, both domestically and internationally, and this was followed by domestic rural access road field surveys. KPRP and KENLAYER were used to analyze the commonalities and predict the remaining life. Data on real cost is used to select an appropriate construction method through economic analysis. RESULTS : The economic efficiency of concrete pavement ($15{\times}15$) was the highest in terms of economic efficiency of performance life and traffic volume. In the case of asphalt pavement, it is considered that the most economical method is to implement micro-surfacing method four times as a preventive maintenance method (once every 10 years and 4.5 years for asphalt concrete pavement and MS construction method, respectively). Repairable asphalt pavement is advantageous for areas where heavy vehicles are expected to pass. In the case of other general areas, it is considered economical to place concrete ($15{\times}15$) pavement. However, as analytical results on its performance life are unavailable, it is to be considered for study in the future. CONCLUSIONS : This study proposed interim design guidelines based on various domestic and international design guidelines and case studies. However, in order to develop the final design criteria applicable to the field, it is necessary to (a) estimate the bearing capacity of the lower level of the pavement at various sites, (b) estimate the daily traffic volume, (c) implement advanced low-cost pavement technologies, and (d) propose maintenance standards and techniques for long-term performance.

본 연구에서는 국내 LTPP 구간에서 수행된 FWD 시험의 결과를 바탕으로 섬유보강, 폴리머 개질, 일반 아스팔트 포장의 구조적 성능을 비교 평가하였다. FWD 시험 결과, 표층 하단부의 인장변형량이 섬유보강 아스팔트는 29%, 폴리머 개질 아스팔트는 21% 저감되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 FWD 처짐량을 역산하여 각 층의 탄성계수를 추정한 후 이를 바탕으로 AASHTO 설계방법, 구조적 해석 방법 및 생애주기비용분석을 통해 섬유보강 및 폴리머 개질 아스팔트 포장의 비용 효과를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 섬유보강은 약 5cm, 폴리머 개질은 약 3cm의 아스팔트 층 두께 감소 효과를 보여주었다. 그러나 섬유보강 및 폴리머 개질 아스팔트의 고가격으로 인하여 전체 시공재료비는 일반 아스팔트 포장에 비해 상승하는 결과를 보여주었다. 생애주기비용 결과는 초기 공사비는 섬유보강 및 폴리머 개질 아스팔트 포장이 높지만, 유지관리비용 및 사용자비용은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

효율적인 포장의 관리를 위해서 포장상태를 객관적으로 평가하는 포장평가지수의 사용은 필수적이다. 현재 사용되고 있는 PSI, MCI, UPCI는 사용자나 관리자의 입장만을 각각 고려하여 종합적인 포장평가지수의 역할을 못하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존 평가지수들의 문제점을 파악하고 이를 개선한 새로운 포장평가지수를 개발하였다. 또한 개발된 평가지수로 실제 포장자료를 이용하여 포장재료의 성질에 따른 지수의 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. 표층두께, 아스팔트점도, 아스팔트함량의 순서로 포장평가지수에 영향을 주었다.
