Patch Mixtures for Bridge Structures and Pavements

This project aims to evaluate and enhance patching materials for pavements and bridge structures, focusing on high early strength and long-term performance. A comprehensive methodology, including literature review and laboratory testing, will be employed to identify optimal mixtures. The study will incorporate supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), fibers, and rapid-setting cements to improve durability and structural capacity. The findings will support the development of guidelines for the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to enhance the longevity and reliability of patching materials.
