IMPLEMENTATION MANUAL FOR THE USE OF RAPID-SETTING CONCRETE

The repair of damaged portland cement concrete highways can be accomplished quickly with the use of rapid-setting patching materials and accelerated portland cement concrete. These materials are more expensive than other patching materials, but the added expense is more than made up by the speed of installation and excellent performance. The accelerated and rapid-setting materials do require special care when they are being installed, but once the procedure for installation is learned, fast and superior quality repairs can be achieved. This report describes the properties and recommended uses for several types of rapid-setting patching materials and accelerated portland cement concrete. Recommended procedures for the batching, mixing, placing, and finishing the materials are described. Some properties of the rapid-setting materials and accelerated concrete are given. (Author)
