Rapid Runway Repair Study
This report describes a series of tests to evaluate a system for rapidly repairing airfield pavement using polymer concrete (synthetic polymer plus aggregate), thermally cured by microwave power. The technique, developed by the Syracuse University Research Corporation (SURC) for highway maintenance, uses a truck-mounted 50-kilowatt microwave generator to irradiate areas patched with polymer concrete. Test results indicate that the polymer concrete can be cured in a fraction of an hour, bonds well to old pavement material, is very strong, and possesses other qualities which make it naturally suited for airfield use.
