Evaluation of Materials for Rapid Runway Repair

Abstract

While the goals of this effort are to improve the strength and thermal resistance characteristics of PaveMend products, ultimate cost will also be kept as a determining factor. The metal oxides currently used in PaveMend products are magnesia/alumina based, but are irregular shaped ground particulates. To add stiffness and additional compressive strength to the product, we will investigate the role of chopped ceramic fibers as low weight additives to the formula. Specifically, this task will focus on the use of discontinuous aluminum oxide fibers that have been designed to withstand temperatures as high as 1700 degrees C.
