IMPLEMENTATION MANUAL FOR THE RAPID REPAIR OF WET ASPHALTIC CONCRETE. FINAL REPORT

During periods of wet weather, particularly when it is also cold, asphalt pavements develop potholes which cannot be immediately repaired with conventional asphalt materials. Materials are needed which can be successfully used to repair asphalt pavements in wet, or cold and wet, weather. The materials should be of reasonable cost and have at least a moderate life. This report focusses first on fly ash as a potential material; and considers its compressive, flexural, and bonding properties. In addition, three commercially manufactured, pre-packaged pothole repair materials were evaluated in the field and in the laboratory under various adverse climatic conditions to determine their effectiveness. A brief summary of the properties of all materials is given, followed by recommended procedures for batching, mixing, placing, and finishing the materials.
