Moon, Han-Young,Ha, Sang-Wook Korea Concrete Institute 2003 콘크리트학회논문집 Vol.15 No.3

Environmental noise at high intensities directly affects human health by causing hearing loss. Although scientific evidence currently is not conclusive, noise is suspected of causing or aggravating other diseases. Environmental noise indirectly affects human welfare by interfering with sleep, thought, and conversation. Noise emission from motorized vehicle includes power unit noise, tire/pavement noise and aerodynamic noise. Among them, tire/pavement noise is noise emission from interaction of the tire and road surface when the vehicle cruises over the surface of pavement. In general, portland cement concrete(PCC) pavement is known to create more noise than asphaltic surfaces though it has the advantage of durability and superior surface friction. However, the results of preliminary laboratory test showed exposed aggregate concrete(EAC) has and effect on reducing tire/pavement noise. Based on the laboratory test. pilot construction of exposed aggregate concrete pavement was completed and series of in-situ measurements were conducted for noise analysis including the pass-by noise measurement and the close-proximity method. Conclusively, it is expected that tire/pavement noise represent significant portion of noise levels at higher frequencies and it would be reduced on special textures of pavement such as exposed aggregate concrete.

The current construction and maintenance guidelines applied to airport pavement in Korea are those of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the International Air Transport Association (IATA), and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In order to consider local conditions of airports in Korea, more specific details should be addressed in those guidelines. For example, the design and construction for pavements at airports in Korea follow the specifications of materials for general roads or foreign airport pavement guidelines, as there is no design manual or guideline for the granular base and subbase materials for airport pavement in Korea. In such circumstances, the likelihood of premature failure or accelerated damage increases, as the loading from airplanes is not fully taken into account or the local environmental characteristics are not considered. In addition, concerns in public facility drainage systems have been rising recently in line with the increase in the frequency and scale, caused by the global abnormal-temperature phenomenon, of localized torrential rain and snow. For airport runways, measures to maintain swift drainage systems are especially necessary to ensure safety and prevent flight delays. In this study, the appropriate moisture content and pavement method are analyzed by applying porous concrete developed for a cement-treated base course for securing permeability of airport pavement at an actual construction site. In addition, on-site construction testing was performed to determine the appropriate compaction method and the curing method to minimize cracking by using a compaction facility. To determine the optimal moisture content, a quality-control was performed by measuring the moisture content of porous concrete produced at a batch plant. For this purpose, a speed moisture test (ASTM D 4944) was performed on site because the unit-water content of the porous concrete affects its compaction and finishing. Before compaction, a grader was used to remove fragments on the subbase and then a tandem roller was used to level and compact. After compaction, the porous cement-treated base course, called porous concrete, was placed using an asphalt finisher. The mechanical properties and durability of the porous cement-treated base course with a variation of a degree of compaction: noncompaction, tandem roller moved back and forth once, three times, and five times. The pavement was covered with vinyl according to the curing guidelines suggested by the Korea Expressway Corporation’s highway construction specifications, to prevent evaporation from porous concrete that has relatively low moisture content. After curing, the core was collected to analyze the compressive strength, permeability coefficient, porosity, and freeze–thaw resistance characteristics.

광물질혼화재를 적용한 시멘트콘크리트 포장의 성능 평가

이승태,이다현,이재준 한국도로학회 2010 한국도로학회논문집 Vol.12 No.3

This study presents experimental findings on the performance of cement concrete pavement incorporating mineral admixtures such as ground granulated blastfurnace slag and silica fume. Flexural strength, compressive strength, charge passed, diffusion coefficient of chloride ions and initial surface absorption of cement concrete pavement incorporating mineral admixtures were periodically measured and the corresponding results were compared to those of plain concrete pavement. As a result, strength behaviors of concrete pavement were dependent on the types of mineral admixtures. However, it was true that incorporation of silica fume had a beneficial effect on compressive strength development. Furthermore, the application of mineral admixtures led to a lower diffusion coefficient of chloride ions compared to plain concrete pavement. Based on the experimental results, the present study would be helpful to design high-performance cement concrete pavement. 본 연구는 고로슬래그미분말 및 실리카흄과 같은 광물질혼화재를 사용한 시멘트콘크리트 포장의 성능에 대한 역학적, 물리적 평가를 수행하였다. 광물질혼화재 사용 시멘트콘크리트 포장의 휨강도, 압축강도, 통과전하량, 염소이온 확산계수 및 초기표면흡수율을소정의 재령에서 측정하였으며, 그 결과를 기준 콘크리트 포장의 성능과 비교하였다. 실험결과, 광물질혼화재의 종류에 따라 시멘트콘크리트 포장의 강도거동은 다르게 나타났으며, 대체적으로 실리카흄을 사용한 콘크리트의 압축강도 발현이 다소 우수하게 나타났다. 뿐만 아니라, 콘크리트의 염소이온 확산계수는 기준 콘크리트에 비하여 매우 작은 경향을 나타냄으로써, 이는 광물질혼화재를 사용한 시멘트콘크리트 포장의 우수한 내염성을 다시 한번 확인 할 수 있었다. 도출된 실험결과를 바탕으로 하여, 향후 고성능 시멘트콘크리트 포장 설계를 위한 재료적 기초 데이터를 제시하고자 한다.

정해국,장태진,김동준,조민수,김승원,윤경구,박철우 한국도로학회 2021 한국도로학회논문집 Vol.23 No.6

PURPOSES : The actual service life of repair methods applied to cement concrete pavement is analyzed based on de-icing agent usage. METHODS : Highway PMS data pertaining to de-icing agent usage are classified into three grades: low (1~5 ton/lane/year), medium (5~8 ton/lane/year), and high (greater than 8 ton/lane/year). The repair methods considered include diamond grinding, patching, joint repair, partial depth repair, and asphalt overlay on five major highways. The service life of each repair method is analyzed based on the usage level of the de-icing agent. RESULTS : The service lives of the applied repair methods are much shorter than expected. It is confirmed that the service life afforded by diamond grinding, patching, and joint repair methods are not significantly affected by the use of de-icing agents, whereas that afforded by asphalt overlay and partial depth repair methods is affected significantly. The service life afforded by the asphalt overlay and partial depth repair methods decreases at high usage levels of the de-icing agent (greater than 8 ton/lane/year). CONCLUSIONS : Among the repair methods considered, the service life afforded by partial depth repair and asphalt overlay is affected significantly by the amount of de-icing agent used. Additionally, the differences between the expected and actual analyzed service lives should be considered in the next-generation maintenance strategy for cement concrete pavements.

OBJECTIVES: This study is to develop the optimum mixing proportions for cement concrete pavement with using recycled aggregates. METHODS: The mixture varied recycled coarse aggregates content from 50 % to 100 % to replace the natural coarse aggregates by weight. Tests for fundamental properties as a cement concrete pavement were conducted before and after hardening of the concrete. RESULTS: It was found that the variation in the amount of the recycled aggregate affected the compressive and flexural strength development, as well as the chloride ion penetration resistance. As the amount of the recycled aggregate content increased the compressive and flexural strength and the resistance to chloride ion penetration decreased. However, the resistance to freeze-thaw reaction was affected significantly. In addition, the gradation of the aggregate became worse and hence so did the coarseness factor as the recycled aggregate amount increased. CONCLUSIONS : The fundamental properties of the concrete with recycled aggregate does not seem to be appropriate when the recycled aggregate quality is not guaranteed up to a some level and its replacement ratio is over 50%. The optimized gradation of the aggregates should also be sought when the recycled aggregate is used for the cement concrete pavement materials.

PURPOSES : As a research to develop a cement treated base course for an airport pavement which can enhance its drainage, this paper investigated the strength, infiltration performance and durability of the pervious concrete with respect to maximum coarse aggregate sizes and compaction methods. METHODS : This study measured compressive strength, infiltration rate, continuous porosity and freeze-thaw resistance of pervious concrete specimens, which were fabricated with five different compaction methods and different maximum aggregate sizes. In addition, in order to reduce the usage of Portland cement content and to enhance environment-friendliness, a portion of the cement was replaced with Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS). RESULTS: Compressive strength requirement, 5 MPa at 7 days, was met for all applied compaction methods and aggregate sizes, except for the case of self-compaction. Infiltration rate became increased as the size of aggregate increased. The measured continuous porosities varied with the different compaction methods but the variation was not significant. When GGBS was incorporated, the strength requirement was successfully satisfied and the resistance to freezing-thawing was also superior to the required limit. CONCLUSIONS: The infiltration rate increased as the maximum size of aggregate increased but considering construct ability and supply of course aggregate, its size is recommended to be 25mm. With the suggested mix proportions, the developed pervious concrete is expected to successfully meet requirements for strength, drainage and durability for cement treated base or subbase course of an airport pavement.

Mechanical properties of concrete containing recycled materials

Solanki, Pranshoo,Dash, Bharat Techno-Press 2016 Advances in concrete construction Vol.4 No.3

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of recycled materials, namely, shredded scrap tire (SST), reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and class C fly ash (CFA) on compressive and tensile strength of concrete. Either SST or RAP was used as an aggregate replacement and class C fly ash (CFA) as Portland cement replacement for making concrete. A total of two types of SST and RAP, namely, chips and screenings were used for replacing coarse and fine aggregates, respectively. A total of 26 concrete mixes containing different replacement level of SST or RAP and CFA were designed. Using the mix designs, cylindrical specimens of concrete were prepared, cured in water tank, and tested for unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and indirect tensile strength (IDT) after 28 days. Experimental results showed aggregate substitution with SST decreased both UCS and IDT of concrete. On the contrary, replacement of aggregate with RAP improved UCS values. Specimens containing RAP chips resulted in concrete with higher IDT values as compared to corresponding specimens containing RAP screenings. Addition of 40% CFA was found to improve UCS values and degrade IDT values of SST containing specimens. Statistical analysis showed that IDT of SST and RAP can be estimated as approximately 13% and 12% of UCS, respectively.

PURPOSES : This paper focuses on strength development according to the mix design with cement type and mineral admixture from laboratory and field tests in cool weather. METHODS : Two methods evaluated the mix design of concrete pavement in cool weather. Firstly, laboratory tests including slump, air contents, setting time, strength, maturity, and freezing-thawing test were conducted. Three alternatives were selected based on the tests. Secondly, a field test was conducted and the optimum mix design in cool weather was suggested . RESULTS : It is an evident from the laboratory test that a mix with type Ⅲ cement showed better performance than the one with type Ⅰ cement. There was a delay in strength development of a mix with mineral admixture compared to mix design without any mineral admixture. In the field test, type Ⅲ cement+flyash 20% mix design proved the best performance. CONCLUSIONS : For concrete pavement in cool weather, mix design using type Ⅲ cement could overcome the strength delay due to mineral admixture. Moreover, it is possible to make sure of durability of pavement. Therefore, strength and durability problems due to cool weather would decrease.

Fine-size exposed aggregate portland cement concrete pavements (FEACP) have surface texture of exposed aggregate by removing upper 2~3mm mortar of surface of which curing is delayed by using delay-setting agent. FEACPs have advantages of maintaining lownoise and adequate skid-resistance level during the performance period than general portland cement concrete pavements. It is necessary to ensure the durability environmental loading to prevent unexpected distress during the service life of FEACP. In the process of curing, volume change accompanied change in by moisture and temperature could be an important cause of crack in concrete to construct for successful FEACP. The use of chloride containing deicer may accelerate defects of concrete pavement, such as crack and scaling. This study aim to evaluate environmental loading resistance of FEACP, based on the estimation of shrinkagecrack- control-capability by moisture evaporation and scaling by deicer in freeze-thaw reaction. 소입경 골재노출콘크리트포장은 콘크리트 타설 직후 포장표면에 응결지연제를 살포하여 표면으로부터 깊이 2∼3mm 정도의 모르타르 경화를 늦추게 한 후 표면의 모르타르 제거를 통해 굵은골재를 포장표면에 노출시키는 공법이다. 소입경 골재 노출콘크리트포장은 타이어-노면 소음이 일반 콘크리트포장보다 4∼5dB(A)정도 작으면서도 적정한 미끄럼저항을 장기간 유지한다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 소입경 골재노출콘크리트포장이 적정 평균조직깊이, 노출도 및 미끄럼저항을 확보하여 강도, 소음저감효과 및 장기간 적정 미끄럼저항성을 유지 하는 것도 중요하지만 성공적인 소입경 골재노출콘크리트포장의 건설을 위해서는 온도, 습도 등의 요인으로 발생하는 환경하중에 대한 내구성이 요구된다. 콘크리트포장은 타설 후 경화과정에서 수분손실 및 초기건조로 인하여 필연적으로 체적변화가 수반되며 과도한 체적변화는 콘크리트 균열발생에 주요한 원인이 될 수 있다. 동결융해를 받고 있는 지역에서 제설제를 사용할 경우 표면박리현상이 발생한다. 이러한 균열 및 스케일링은 포장체의 내구성을 저하시키고 미끄럼저항을 감소시켜 장기공용성을 단축시키는 직접적인 요인으로 작용하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 소입경 골재노출콘크리트포장에 대하여 수분증발로 인한 수축균열 제어 성능 및 제설제를 사용하였을 경우에 반복되는 동결융해작용으로 인한 스켈링에 대해 내구성을 평가하여 환경하중 저항성에 대해 고찰하였다.

This study focuses on evaluating the applicability of an acryl based polymer concrete to the thin bridge deck pavements. The acryl concrete developed in this study is composed of Methyl Methacrylate(MMA) resin, benzol peroxide and fillers. To study the effects of the types and amounts of the components on the physical characteristics of the acryl concrete, viscosity, compressive strength and bending tests were conducted. The optimum mixture design was then determined based on the testing results. Several different types of laboratory tests, such as water and chlorine ion penetration tests, shrinkage and thermal coefficients tests, and tensile bonding strength tests were performed for the optimum acryl concrete and conventional cement concrete. The testing results show that water and chroline ion resistance, bonding strength between acryl and cement concrete and crack resistance of the acryl concrete is better than those of the conventional cement concrete. There are shortcomings that the conventional acryl concrete has a higher shrinkage and thermal coefficients. However, it was confirmed that to use newly developed rubberized MMA resin in this study reduces the crack resistance with substantially increased ductility. 본 연구에서는 MMA 계열의 폴리머 콘크리트를 콘크리트 교량 상판의 박층 교면포장용으로 적용 가능성에 대한 검토를 수행하였다. 아크릴수지와 경화재, 충진재(탄산칼슘 및 규사)로 구성되어진 아크릴 콘크리트의 성분 종류 및 배합비율 등이 아크릴 콘크리트의 물리적 특성에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 점도시험, 압축강도시험, 휨시험 등을 수행하였으며, 시험을 통해 최적 배합비율을 결정하였다. 최적 배합비율로 생산된 아크릴 콘크리트에 대해 투수저항성, 염소이온 침투 저항성, 경화수축량, 열팽창계수, 부착강도 시험 등의 물리적 특성 시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과 폴리머 콘크리트가 기존의 일반 시멘트 콘크리트에 비해 방수성능이 우수하고 염소이온 침투 저항성도 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 기존 바닥 콘크리트와의 부착성도 우수하고 균열 저항성도 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 기존의 아크릴 수지는 경화시 수축량이 크고, 열팽창계수 또한 일반 시멘트 콘크리트에 비해 큰 단점이 있으나 본 연구에서 새롭게 개발한 아크릴 수지를 적용한 결과 대폭 증가된 연성으로 인해 균열발생 가능성을 낮출 수 있을 것으로 확인되었다.
