Thermosyphons are simple devices that can passively transport thermal energy over relatively long distance with little temperature degradation. These attributes permit the use of low grade thermal energy for thermal control of structures including the snow melting and deicing to the pavement surface. The thermosyphon system requires no costly energy input and Is completely maintenance free. This paper presents the experimental results of the snow melting system in which thermosyphon was utilized to transfer the geothermal energy to the pavement to obviate slipping traffic accidents due to freezing of pavement in winter.

본 연구는 도로 포장에 자체 융설 아스팔트 혼합물의 적용을 위해, 융빙특성을 분석하는 기초연구의 일환으로 수행되었다. 본 연구의 목적은 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 아스콘 제조시 지속성있는 융설제를 첨가하여 높은 융설기능을 유지하도록 한 아스팔트 혼합물을 개발하고 이에 대한 융빙(설) 특성 및 아스팔트 포장으로서의 역학적 특성을 알아보는데 있다. 결합재로는 AC 60-80이 사용되었고, 본 연구에서 개발된 융설제와 CRM이 건식 혼합방법으로 사용되었다. 기존 포장위에 박층포장 용도로 사용하기 위한 샌드 융설 아스팔트 혼합물과 표층용 혼합물과 동일 용도인 13mm 밀입도 융설 아스팔트 혼합물을 개발하였다. 아스팔트 혼합물의 특성을 평가하기 위하여 마샬안정도와 간접인장강도, 결빙 및 융빙실험, 용출수의 수질분석 실험을 수행하였다 융설 아스팔트 혼합물은 포장용 혼합물로서의 충분한 강도 및 우수한 융설 기능도 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 용출수의 중성화를 유도하여 도로 주변의 식생에도 악영향을 미치지 않을 것으로 판단된다.

PURPOSES : A finite difference model considering snow melting process on porous asphalt pavement was derived on the basis of heat transfer and mass transfer theories. The derived model can be applied to predict the region where black-ice develops, as well as to predict temperature profile of pavement systems where a de-icing system is installed. In addition, the model can be used to determined the minimum energy required to melt the ice formed on the pavement. METHODS : The snow on the porous asphalt pavement, whose porosity must be considered in thermal analysis, is divided into several layers such as dry snow layer, saturated snow layer, water+pavement surface, pavement surface, and sublayer. The mass balance and heat balance equations are derived to describe conductive, convective, radiative, and latent transfer of heat and mass in each layer. The finite differential method is used to implement the derived equations, boundary conditions, and the testing method to determine the thermal properties are suggested for each layer. RESULTS: The finite differential equations that describe the icing and deicing on pavements are derived, and we have presented them in our work. The framework to develop a temperature-forecasting model is successfully created. CONCLUSIONS : We conclude by successfully creating framework for the finite difference model based on the heat and mass transfer theories. To complete implementation, laboratory tests required to be performed.

해외 선진국에서는 2000년 자연재해대책법 개정을 통해 차도 중심의 융설시스템에서 인권위주의 보행자 전용시스템으로 확대 적용하고 있으나, 국내에는 2006년 선진국형 융설시스템이 도입되어 도로 부문에 일부 시공 되었지만 보행자를 위한 융설시스템 개발 및 적용 사례는 전무한 편이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 열선의 열이 보도블록 상부로 효율적으로 전달되도록 함으로써 지반으로 손실되는 열을 최소화하고 충격에 따른 열선의 손상 방지 및 공정을 단순화하여 원가 및 공정을 절감할 수 있는 블록형 보도포장 기술을 개발하고 이를 현장 적용하였다. 품질시험 결과 휨강도는 KS기준보다 약 5배, 흡수율은 7배~10배의 성능이 향상된 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 현장 시험결과 기존 융설시스템은 노면의 온도가 영상으로 올라가는데 약 180분이 소요되었으나 블록형 보도포장 기술은 약 10분 정도 소요되었으며 30분 경과 후 노면 평균 온도는 $3.5^{\circ}C$를 유지하였다. 이처럼 조립식 보도블록 기술개발을 통해 겨울철 보행자 낙상방지를 통한 국민안전확보 및 화학제설제 사용 억제를 통한 환경오염 방지에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Thermosyphons are simple devices that can passively transport thermal energy over relatively large distance with little temperature degradation. Especially, the thermosyphon system requires no costly energy input and is completely maintenance free. These attributes permit the use of low grade thermal energy for thermal control of structures including the stabilization of highway foundations. This paper presents the experimental results of the snow melting system in which thermosyphon was utilized to ransfer the earth energy to the pavement to remove snow and ice. The test facility, three earth heated and one unheated test panels, is designed to investigate the variables associated with removing snow and ice from pavement surfaces. The results of these test show that the earth heated panel surface temperature is higher $2{\sim}6^{\circ}C$ than unheated panel when the ambient air temperature is $-7^{\circ}C$. The thermal performance of this earth source thermosyphon system for road heating showed that there was no snow on the heated test panels when the snowfall was 5cm average for the region.

PURPOSES : This study aims to investigate the snow-melt effects of an underground electric heater's snow-melt system via a field performance test, for evaluating the suitability of the system for use on a concrete pavement. The study also investigates the effectiveness of dynamic measures for clearing snow after snowfall events. METHODS : In order to check the field applicability, in November 2010, specimens were prepared from materials used for constructing concrete pavements, and underground electric heating meshes (HOT-mesh) were buried at depths of 50 mm and 100 mm at the site of the Incheon International Airport Construction Research Institute. Further, an automatic heating control system, including a motion sensor and pavement-temperature-controlled sensor, were installed at the site; the former sensor was intended for determining snow-melt effects of the heating control system for different snowfall intensities. Pavement snow-melt effects on snowy days from December 2010 to January 2011 were examined by managing the electric heating meshes and the heating control system. In addition, data on pavement temperature changes resulting from the use of the heating meshes and heating control system and on the dependence of the correlation between the outdoor air temperature and the time taken for the required temperature rise on the depth of the heating meshes were collected and analyzed. RESULTS : The effects of the heating control system's preheat temperature and the hot meshes buried at depths of 50 mm and 100 mm on the melting of snow for snowfalls of different intensities have been verified. From the study of the time taken for the specimen's surface temperature to increase from the preheat temperature ($0^{\circ}C$) to the reference temperature ($5{\sim}8^{\circ}C$) for different snowfall intensities, the correlation between the burial depth and outdoor air temperature has been determined to be as follows: Time=15.10+1.141Depth-6.465Temp CONCLUSIONS : The following measures are suggested. For the effective use of the electric heating mesh, it should be located under a slab it may be put to practical use by positioning it under a slab. From the management aspect, the heating control system should be adjusted according to weather conditions, that is, the snowfall intensity.

Because of the climate changes and the development of building technologies, the cooling loads have been increased. Among the various renewable energies, geothermal energy is known as very useful and stable energy for heating and cooling of building. This study proposes a road snow-melting system of which heat is supplied from GSHP(Ground source heat pump) in viewpoint of the initial investment and annual running performance, which is also operating as a main facility of heating and cooling for common spaces. The results of this study is as followings. From the site measurement, it is found out that the road surface temperature above the geothermal heating pipe rose up to $5^{\circ}C$, which is the design temperature of road snow-melting, after 2 hours' operation and average COP(Coefficient of performance) was estimated as 3.5. The reliability of CFD has confirmed, because the temperature difference between results of CFD analysis and site measurement is only ${\pm}0.4^{\circ}C$ and the trend of temperature variation is quite similar. CFD analysis on the effect of pavement materials clearly show that more than 2 hours is needed for snow-melting, if the road is paved by ascon or concrete. But the road paved by brick is not reached to $5^{\circ}C$ at all. To evaluate the feasibility of snow-melting system operated by a geothermal circulation which has not GSHP, the surface temperature of concrete-paved road rise up to $0^{\circ}C$ after 2 hour and 40 minutes, and it does never increase to $5^{\circ}C$. And the roads paved by ascon and brick is maintained as below $0^{\circ}C$ after 12 hours geothermal circulation.

도로에서 발생하는 사고 중 도로결빙에 의한 미끄러짐 사고비율이 높으며, 특히 상습 결빙 지역인 교량과 터널 입출부에서 발생 빈도가 높게 나타난다. 이렇게 부분적으로 발생되는 결빙 현상을 방지하여 도로운영의 안정성을 높이고자 한다. 지열 융설의 기초 연구를 통해 일반 도로포장 재료인 콘크리트, 아스팔트 두 종류의 재료에 대한 융설시 열전도 양상을 파악하고자 한다. 지열융설 시스템 적용시 포장체 하부 열교환 파이프 매설에 따른 열전도도 연구가 필요하다. 도로 포장과 동일 재질의 시험체를 제작하여 냉동고에서 저온상태의 모형시험을 수행 하였고, 모형시험과 동일 조건의 수치해석을 통해 보다 다양한 융설에 대한 변수를 파악하였다.
