Laboratory evaluation shows rapid-setting concrete improves compressive strength in pavement repairs, indicating better sustainability.

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of rapid-setting concrete mixes for pavement repairs compared to traditional concretes.
Laboratory evaluation of concrete mixes including CSA, Type III, and Type X.
Assessment of mechanical performance focusing on compressive, tensile, and flexural strength.
Measurement of shrinkage and fresh properties using ASTM testing methods.
CSA mixes achieved over 3000 psi in early-age strength within four hours.
Traditional concretes showed higher shrinkage compared to CSA mixes.
Optimization of water-to-cement ratio positively influenced strength performance.

Akerele et al. (2026) studied this question.
