Many laboratories are capable of performing standard concrete tests; however, few have the capability to conduct all of the specialized tests for rapid-setting materials as required by the US Air Force Engineering Technical Letters (ETLs) that govern the certification of pavement repair materials. Three rigid repair materials and two polymeric materials have been selected for evaluation. The testing of these products is required to be completed by 30 July 2009.
