  • Laboratory and Full-Scale Testing of JETCON JC400 Rapid-Setting Concrete Repair Materials for Crater Repairs

    Abstract: The DoD currently utilizes rapid-setting concrete (RSC) for a variety of applications, including capping airfield pavement repairs, to limit closure time. Laboratory and field criteria were previously developed for certifying proprietary products for use in various sizes of repairs to ensure performance under aircraft loads. A few certified products have been added to the qualified products list for larger repairs, but none are manufactured in the region near the Korean peninsula. To address this issue, a candidate Korean product (JETCON JC400) was evaluated via the established laboratory and full-scale testing protocol. One large (i.e., 15 ft × 15 ft) repair and two small (i.e., 8.5 ft × 8.5 ft) repairs were conducted and trafficked with simulated F-15E aircraft traffic. JETCON JC400 met all criteria; therefore, the authors recommended adding it to the US Air Force Qualified Products list for large and small pavement repairs. The material is compatible with all volumetric concrete mixers currently in the DoD inventory and has many other potential applications.
