The use of accelerated cement concrete mixes in reconstruction of rehabilitation of existing highways significantly reduces lane closure times, maintenance and protection of traffic costs, and user delay costs. The study evaluated the development of two accelerated Portland cement concrete mixes which attained a compressive strength of 3000 psi in 24 hours. These design mixes were then placed in high truck traffic pavement areas for field evaluation. The Fast Track concrete construction was monitored and found to be more labor intensive, but otherwise similar to the placement of normal concrete.
