... 2.1.1 Constituent Materials For the most part, EOT concrete is composed of the same constituents as normal paving concrete. Coarse and fine aggregates are blended with portland cement, water, and admixtures to produce a stiff but moldable mass that hardens through a chemical process referred to as hydration.
From page 6...
... Standard specifications for blended hydraulic cements are provided in AASHTO M 240. These cements are formed by intimately blending portland cement with fine materials such as ground granulated blast-furnace slag, fly ash or other pozzolans, hydrated lime, and pre-blended cement combinations 6 of these materials (Kosmatka et al.

... . In these publications, it is noted that EOT concrete repair materials use similar constituents and proportioning as normal paving concrete, except that higher cement contents and lower w/c ratios are common.

... specified for use in 6- to 8-hour EOT concrete mixtures. Admixtures commonly specified for use in 6- to 8-hour EOT concrete mixtures included air entrainers, accelerators, and water reducers.

... All of the 11 states required use of Type I, II, or III portland cement for the 20- to 24-hour EOT concrete. The specified minimum cement content ranged from 335 to 502 kg/m3 (564 to 846 lb/yd3)
From page 13...
... This might not be a desirable outcome for EOT concrete repairs where heat generated by solar radiation accelerates hydration and thus early strength gain. Concrete repairs located in mountainous and arid climates may require heavier dosage rates of resin-based curing compound meeting AASHTO M 148, Type 2, Class B requirements.
