Rapid Repair and Construction with Fast-Fix Cements.
Abstract
The objective of the program discussed in this report was to provide the Air Force with a material for rapidly effecting the repair of damage to an operational airfield runway pavement. The investigation considered the use of gypsum-base fast-setting cements and accelerated portland cements. Data concerning mixing, use of aggregates, useful life and physical characteristics of selected gypsum cements were generated. The program resulted in two materials which can be placed and used as pavement repair in one hour or less, but which must be considered temporary and scheduled for replacement when time is not a controlling factor. A 'rule-of-thumb' guide is presented to aid in the design of a pavement repair. (Author)
