Abstract

With the continuous industrial development, not only natural resource depletion, waste generation, but also various weather conditions are becoming more frequent. Efforts are continuing to recycle industrial by-products to overcome the climate crisis and save resources. Slag is a representative by-product generated in the steel industry, and it is characterized by improving rutting resistance and moisture sensitivity by increasing strength and reducing deformation when used as a material for asphalt concrete. On the other hand, slag has expansion properties so it is used as a relatively low-value-added material such as embankment and refilling materials. In order to expand the application of slag, an experiment was conducted to evaluate the crack resistance of slag asphalt concrete pavement. As a result of the indirect tensile strength test, it was found that the asphalt mixture using slag aggregate showed a value 1.13 times higher than that of the general HMA with the same particle size, and the toughness was 1.17 units, improving crack resistance. In addition, it was found that the failure number of the 4-point beam fatigue experiment and the slag asphalt mixture was 20,409, which was more than doubled compared to the general HMA. Furthermore, Overlay Test showed a tensile load residual rate of 4 times or more, improving crack resistance to repeated fatigue. Accordingly, the use of slag aggregate will likely have various advantages in improving the performance of asphalt concrete pavement.

지속적인 산업 발전에 따라 천연자원 고갈, 폐기물 발생 뿐만 아니라 다양한 기상이변 현상 발생이 빈번해지고 있다. 기후위기 극복과 자원절약을 위해 산업부산물을 재활용하기 위한 노력이 계속되고 있다. 슬래그는 철강산업에서 발생하는 대표적인 부산물로 밀도가 크고 강성이 높은 특징에 따라 아스팔트 콘크리트용 재료로 활용시 강도 증진, 변형 감소를 가져와 소성변형 저항성과 수분 저항성을 향상시키는 특징이 있다. 반면 팽창 특성을 갖고 있어 성토재, 매립재 등 비교적 저부가가치용 재료로 활용되고 있다. 슬래그 재료의 적용처 확대를 위해 슬래그 아스팔트 콘크리트 포장의 균열 저항성 평가 실험을 수행하였다. 간접인장강도 시험결과 슬래그 골재를 사용한 아스팔트 혼합물은 동일 입도의 일반 혼합물 대비 1.13배 이상 높은 값을 보이고 터프니스 또한 1.17대 높아 균열저항성이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 4점 빔 피로 실험과 슬래그 아스팔트 혼합물의 파괴횟수가 20,409회로 일반 혼합물 대비 2배 이상 증가하였으며 Overlay Test 결과 인장하중 잔류율이 4배 이상 높은 값을보여 반복적인 피로에 대한 균열 저항성도 향상되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이에 따라 슬래그 골재의 사용은 아스팔트 콘크리트 포장의 성능 향상에 다양한 이점이 될 수 있을 것으로 평가된다.
