Slab replacement using a new non-proprietary magnesium phosphate concrete with improved chemical resistant properties to mitigate deterioration due to exposure to petroleum, oils, and lubricants on airfield pavements.Ā This new concrete material developed by Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) in conjunction with CTS, Inc. under a project funded by the Air Force Civil Engineer Center will be evaluated to assess its performance over time under live aircraft.Ā #erdc

ERDC Paper: āEvaluation of Rapid-Setting Cementitious Materials and Testing Protocol for Airfield Spall Repairā by Monica A. Ramsey, Jeb S. Tingle, and Dr. Craig A. Rutland:
The rapid-setting cementitious material certification program is part of a research effort to assist the U.S. Air Force Civil Engineering Center in the execution of independent testing on select commercially available proprietary products to repair partial-depth spalls in airfield concrete pavements. The purpose of this research was to determine whether the existing requirements for evaluating rapid-repair products for spall repairs were sufficient or further refinement and modifications were needed. This protocol is intended to aid airfield managers and repair teams in the selection of optimal spall repair materials by maintaining a database of approved tested products.
