Abstract:
Asphaltic concrete pavements are generally repaired using cold patch and hot mix products. While cold patch material can be applied quickly and is low in cost, it is not durable. Because hot mix repair products are applied like newly paved surfaces, they are high in cost and are typically used for larger repairs. The article discusses a new type of a cementitious repair material suitable for asphalt and concrete pavements that is easy to apply and durable.
