Under the auspices of the Korea Highway Corporation, this project aims at performing the preliminary study to design the Korea Accelerated Loading and Environment Simulator(KALES). In this study, characteristics of currently existing Accelerated Loading Systems are reviewed. Based on this analysis, design specifications for KALES to test both concrete and asphalt pavements are decided. Also, several initial designs for the scaled KALES model are proposed, which satisfy the given specifications. Furthermore, several design factors to design a full-scale KALES are suggested.
