• Abstract:
  This research study, sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration, summarizes the field performance of eight high-early-strength (HES) ; concrete patches between 1994 and 1998. The patches were constructed under the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) between June ; 1991 and July 1992 and were located in 5 States (Arkansas, Illinois, Nebraska, New York, and North Carolina) using existing State construction ; practices. The patches were constructed mainly with Type III cement, four different types of coarse aggregate, and three different types of fine ; aggregate. Similar types of air entraining admixtures, water reducers, and set accelerators were used at all except the North Carolina site. The ; patches were located in areas with varying environmental and traffic conditions. The performance criterion of interest was durability. Durability of ; the HES concrete was quantified over a period of 7 years using various indicators including compressive strength, static elastic modulus, rapid ; chloride permeability, and asphalt concrete (AC) impedance. The HES patches were also examined visually to locate any material- or durabilityrelated ; distresses. This report discusses in detail the effects of climate and material properties on the HES concrete durability. ; Some of the results of interest include the effect of water reducer type, curing method, and aggregate type on long-term durability. The report also ; presents comparisons of the rapid chloride permeability and AC impedance test results and the rate of strength gain for the mixes evaluated. ; Overall, the HES patches performed well with no obvious signs of deterioration. However, the results were not conclusive because the performance ; monitoring period was relatively short. There is a need for further research in the areas of long-term HES concrete mechanical properties and ; durability.
