PURPOSES : Performance evaluation of four types of asphalt concrete overlays for deteriorated national highways. METHODS : Pavement distress surveys for crack rate and rut depth have been conducted annually using an automated pavement survey vehicle since 2007. Linear and non-linear performance prediction models of the asphalt concrete overlays were developed for 43 sections. The service life of the asphalt overlays was defined as the number of years after which a crack rate of 30% or rut depth of 15mm is observed. RESULTS : The service life of the asphalt overlays was estimated as 17.4 years on an average. In 90.7% of the sections, the service life of the overlays was 15 years or more which is 1.5 times the life of conventional asphalt concrete overlays used in national highways. The performance of the overlays was dependent on the type of asphalt mixture, traffic volume levels, and environmental conditions. CONCLUSIONS : The usage of stone mastic asphalt (SMA) and polymer-modified asphalt (PMA) for the overlays provided good resistance to cracking and rutting development. It is recommended that appropriate asphalt concrete overlays must be applied depending on the type of existing pavement distress.

A film colored overlay has been used as an assistive device for dyslexics, Recently, several virtual colored overlays which can be used in computer were developed. But existing virtual overlays have some drawbacks which have limited colors and limited control capability over overlapped window by the overlays. Limited colors may prevent optimum color selection and limited control capability can obstruct to transfer keyboard and mouse operation to the overlapped window. In this paper, we implemented an overlay function which controls an overlapped window under the overlay window by using keyboard hooking and tray icon. We propose a method to determine the source color of a virtual overlays by estimating alpha value of alpha blending algorithm through measurement of the chromaticity and transmissivity of film overlays and implemented all colors which we can produce colors by using Intuitive Overlays. Test results of the developed virtual overlay show that all mentioned drawbacks of existing virtual overlays were eliminated. Therefore we can employ a result of WRRT to use the developed overlays.

Weld overlay has been developed to improve the property of material surface which is used in the severe environment. Weld overlay is the process which uses an arc heat and welds different composition of alloy on the substrate for the improvements of heat resistance and wear resistance. Weld overlay has a lot of advantages which are high hardness, good processing efficiency, easy controlling of layer thickness, good quality and low cost. In this study, weld overlay was performed by MAG welding on the base metal(SS400) with filler metal which contain composite powders(Cr+C+Mn+Mo+NbC) and solid wire(JIS-YGW11). Characterization of hardness and wear resistance were analyzed by EDS, EPMA, XRD and observations of microstructure were performed to investigate characteristics of overlays. The experimental results of overlaid specimens manufactured with Cr+C+Mn+Mo+NbC powders were obtained as fellows. ${\alpha}-phase$, M(Fe, Cr)3C and NbC of overlays were increased with decreasing the wire feed rates and increasing powder feed rates. Also the hardness of overlays were increased and the specific wear were decreased.

Many distributed applications build overlays on top of the Internet. Several unsolved issues at the network layer can explain this trend to implement network services such as multicast, mobility, and security at the application layer. On one hand, overlays creating basic topologies are usually limited in flexibility and scalability. On the other hand, overlays creating complex topologies require some form of application level addressing, routing, and naming mechanisms. Our aim is to design an efficient and robust addressing, routing, and naming infrastructure for these complex overlays. Our only assumption is that they are deployed over the Internet topology. Applications that use our middleware will be relieved from managing their own overlay topologies. Our infrastructure is based on the separation of the naming and the addressing planes and provides a convergence plane for the current heterogeneous Internet environment. To implement this property, we have designed a scalable distributed k-resilient name to address binding system. This paper describes the design of our overlay infrastructure and presents performance results concerning its routing scalability, its path inflation efficiency and its resilience to network dynamics.

Overlays is a treatment of the surface and near-surface regions of a material to allow the surface to perform functions that are distinct from those frictions demanded far the bulk of the material. Welding, thermal spray, quenching, carburizing and nitration have been used as the surface treatment. Especially, weld overlay is a relatively thick layer of filler metal applied to a carbon or low-alloy steel base metal for the purpose of providing a wear resistant surface. In this study, weld overlay was performed by MAG welding on the base metal(SS400) with filler metal which contain composite powders($Cr_3C_2+Mn+Mo+NbC$) and solid wire(JIS-YGW11). Characteristics of hardness and wear resistance on overlays were analyzed by EDS, EPMA, XRD and microstructures. Carbide formations were $M(Cr, Fe)_7C_3$ and NbC phases. And carbide volume fraction, hardness and specific wear resistance of overlays were increased with increasing powder feed rate and decreasing wire fred rate. Hardness and wear resistance were almost proportioned to carbide volume fraction of overlay.

The shrinkage of polymer concrete overlays to cement concrete causes interface shear, normal and axial stresses in the overlays. These can lead to deterioration of the polymer concrete overlays due to affection of adhesion polymer concrete and cement concrete. The shrinkage stress in the polymer concrete cause it to shorten and the shorting is measured: With the modulus of elasticity of the polymer concrete and strain known the stresses can be calculated. The purpose of this study is to provide the basic data of application of polymer concrete overlays such as bridge decks, highway and airport pavement repair and overlay materials. From the test results. It has been found that depending on the type polymer. overlay thickness, time after curing and temperature. the shrinkage stresses are eliminated by relaxation in time ranging from a few hours to a few days.

Purpose: Basic design of virtual colored overlay, film overlay, colored lenses and colored glasses for people with Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome. Methods: I calculated sRGB and RGB values of the overlays from measured data. I evaluated the relationship between the combinational chromaticities composed of Galaxy Tab white background and film overlays and the chromaticities of pure film overlays. Results: Implementable sRGB and RGB values of the overlays is calculated. The chromaticities of film overlays are different from them with white paper background and them with Galaxy Tab's white background, but showed a certain relationship between them. Light transmittances of Intuitive Overlay are the most (59%-79%) among them and average light reflectance of Reading Ruler is least(8%). Conclusions: The sRGB values and the RGB values are directly applicable to implement assistive tools and the light transmittances are used to calculate ${\alpha}$, transparency of virtual overlay in IT devices. It is recommended to consider the chromaticity of white color in implementing virtual colored overlay in the case which the chromaticity is considerably different to theoretical chromaticity of white color.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to evaluate the mechanical characteristics of castor oil based bio-polymer concrete for use of ultra thin overlays. METHODS : To evaluate the mechanical properties of bio-polymer concrete, the various laboratory tests including compressive, tensile, and flexural strength, and elongation tests were conducted on bio-polymer concrete specimens in this study. The mechanical characteristics of bio-polymer concretes were examined by changing the content of hardener and polymer binder to determine the optimum content for ultra-thin overlays. The bio-polymer concrete developed in this study was used for field trial test of the ultra-thin bridge deck pavement for verifying the workability and monitoring the long-term performance of materials. RESULTS : Test results showed that tensile and the flexural strength of bio-polymer concretes increase and the elongation of bio-polymer concrete decreases with increase of binder content. A field adhesive strength tests conducted on bridge deck pavement indicates the bio-polymer concrete has more than 2MPa of adhesive strength satisfy with the design criteria. CONCLUSIONS : The bio-polymer concrete with more than 20% content of castor oil was developed for ultra-thin overlays in this study. It is found from this study that the 35% of hardener content is most appropriate for maintaining the strength characteristics and flexibility.

Latex modified concrete (LMC) exhibits improved material properties including high tensile strength and durability compared with conventional concrete, and hence LMC has been used as protective layers over the bridge deck slabs to increase their service life with underlying assumption of excellent bond behavior between the LMC overlay and the concrete substrate. In this study, the effect of the primary parameters of the concrete substrate (i.e., shrinkage, stiffness and cracking capacity) as well as the LMC overlay thickness on the probability of cracking of the bridge deck slabs using LMC overlays was investigated by carrying out the finite element analysis that simulated the bond behavior of LMC overlays on normal strength concrete (NSC) and HPC bridge deck slabs. Based on the results of the numerical analysis, it is concluded that the relatively high shrinkage strains and stiffness of HPC slabs can increase its probability of cracking in bridge deck slabs using LMC overlay.
