Past work and current technical literature were reviewed to determine potential capping materials for expedient repair of small craters (less than 20 by 20 feet repair areas) in airfield pavements. Seven materials identified in the literature review were tested in the laboratory to develop information on their strength and cure requirements. Accelerated high alumina cement, magnesium phosphate cement, three commercial asphalt products and unsurfaced, well compacted aggregate were recommended for field testing as the most promising small crater repair materials.
