Abstract

An asphalt trackbed is to be adapted in Korea to provide better bearing capacity and stability to the track and a comfortable ride to passengers. The dynamic modulus of Hot Mixed Asphalt(HMA) mixes is a critical design input parameter to determine the thickness of the asphalt trackbed. In this study, impact resonant tests and ultrasonic test methods are designed to obtain the dynamic modulus. These test methods are also verified to check the etffectiveness of constructing a master curve of the dynamic modulus over a wide range of frequencies and temperatures. The test results are compared to the computed dynamic modulus using AASHTO 2002 and the KPRP's proposed model. It can be concluded that the proposed simple test methods are effective to obtain the dynamic moduli of the asphalt mixes for the design of an asphalt trackbed foundation.

지지력과 주행쾌적성을 개선시키기 위하여 아스팔트노반의 도입이 고려되고 있다. 다져진 아스팔트 혼합물의 동탄성계수는 아스팔트 노반설계에 있어 매우 중요한 설계입력요소이다. 동탄성계수($E^*$)를 획득하기 위하여 사용할 수 있는 간이 시험법으로서 소형충격공진시험 및 초음파시험의 사용적합성을 분석하였다. 간이 시험법에 의한 시험결과의 신뢰도를 검토하기 위하여 혼합물의 동탄성계수 예측식으로 사용되는 AASHTO 2002 MEPDG 제안식 및 한국형 포장설계법(KPRP)에서 제시한 예측식 계산 결과와 간이 비파괴시험법에 의한 취득결과를 비교, 분석하였다. 분석한 실험결과는 추가시험과 보완을 통해 철도 아스팔트 노반설계를 위한 간이시험법으로 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.
