Abstract

This review aims to provide an insight into concrete pavement repair materials by gathering the relevant research outcomes and specifications. It provides a systematic literature review that focuses on pavement repair and types of cementitious repair material. In general, conventional cementitious repair materials can be divided into 4 categories: ultra-rapid, rapid, accelerated, and normal strength gain. The mechanical and durability properties of conventional cementitious repair materials, i.e., calcium sulphoaluminate-based, calcium aluminate-based, polymer-modified concrete, and ordinary Portland cement-based repair materials are highlighted. The paper also discusses the newly developed ultra-high performance concrete and alkali-activated materials as potential repair materials for concrete pavement due to the good mechanical and durability performance. As a final point, this review may help readers to understand and determine the appropriate type of repair material when distress occurs in concrete pavement.

Highlights

According to Blanchard’s American Highway Engineers’ Handbook of 1919, the history of concrete pavement began in 1879 in Scotland [1]
Ere are 7 types of concrete pavement widely constructed around the world, which include (1) jointed plain concrete pavement; (2) jointed reinforced concrete pavement; (3) continuously reinforced concrete pavement; (4) prestressed concrete pavement, (5) precast concrete pavement; (6) roller compacted concrete (RCC), pavement; and (7) pervious concrete pavement [2]
Pavement repair materials made from magnesium phosphate, calcium aluminate cement, polymer-modified cementitious material, and high early strength cement can gain very high strength at an early age, pavement can be put into service within hours (e.g., 3 hours) [13]

Summary

Introduction

According to Blanchard’s American Highway Engineers’ Handbook of 1919, the history of concrete pavement began in 1879 in Scotland [1]. Pavement repair materials made from magnesium phosphate, calcium aluminate cement, polymer-modified cementitious material, and high early strength cement can gain very high strength at an early age, pavement can be put into service within hours (e.g., 3 hours) [13] Developed materials such as ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) and alkali-activated materials (AAM) have attracted much interest in the pavement repair industry. UHPC possesses superior mechanical properties such as compressive strength greater than 150 MPa and a post-cracking tensile strength greater than 5 MPa [14] It is an effective repair material for bridge deck that is deteriorated by traffic load and freeze-thaw cycle [15]. E main objective of this review is to provide an insight into the types of cementitious pavement repair materials used for repair in the industry, mostly for partial- and full-depth repairs
