  • Evaluation of Commercial Cementitious Rapid-Setting Materials and Testing Protocol for Repairing Airfield Spalls: Material Testing Results for 2023 and 2024

    Abstract: The Pavement Repair Material Certification Program assists the US Air Force Civil Engineer Center by executing independent testing on select proprietary commercial cementitious products used to repair partial-depth spalls in airfield concrete pavements. Selecting cementitious rapid-setting repair products can be difficult for military personnel because of the high number of commercially available products. Too often, product manufacturers highlight product strengths while masking undesirable properties. The purpose of this research was to evaluate selected commercially manufactured cementitious products through a series of laboratory testing protocols. These protocols were established to aid airfield managers and repair teams in selecting optimal airfield pavement spall repair materials by maintaining a database of permitted products. Under the program, approximately four to six repair products are tested annually. This report presents the laboratory test methods and results for cementitious rapid-setting repair products tested at the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center in 2023 and 2024. These test methods and results were evaluated for their ability to assess a material’s suitability for airfield spall repairs. No products were identified as compatible with partial-depth airfield pavement concrete spall repairs.
