Abstract:
This article is the third in a series reporting on the research study with the ultimate goal of developing performance criteria for selection of cementitious repair materials dimensionally compatible with the existing concrete. The field testing phase of the overall program described herein included installation of selected repair materials in the cavities of the prefabricated concrete slabs and monitoring them for an 18-month period. In addition, the cracking resistance of the materials was evaluated in the German Angle Test and SPS Plate Test. The testing program was carried out in three areas: South Florida, Illinois and Arizona. The results of the field performance are presented.
