The project evaluated numerous repairs on portland cement concrete pavements and bridge decks made with a number of laboratory accepted, proprietary patching materials and portland cement concrete mixtures of different designs. It was ascertained that in the majority of cases where the patches failed, the failure resulted from the use of improper construction techniques, not from deficiencies in patching materials. In addition, it was ascertained that portland cement concrete incorporating carefully chosen admixtures can provide satisfactory service at a lower cost than proprietary patching materials. Upon reviewing the May 1984 final report, the FHWA suggested several changes. Those changes have been incorporated into this revised version.
