摘要：	^e purpose of this final report is to evaluate the use of timber blocks as temporary inserts for concrete patches .Timber Mocks are made of creosoted railroad switch ties with an industrial grade plywood covering. A skid resistance material also IS applied to the surface for safety, these platforms primarily are used fir patching on heavily traveled highways , when Construction takes place overnight and it is necessary to reopen the highway to motorists during the day. Previously in this Situation, a very limited number of patches could be completed because the existing concrete had to be saw cut, removed, doweled, and the new concrete had to be poured and cured in one shift, allowing no additional work to be done after pouring. The use of timber Modes allows the Contractor to continue working after die concrete pour. While waiting for the concrete to cure, additional patches can be excavated and filled with the temporary timber block inserts. The timber Mocks withstand the heavy traffic while the roadway is open, can be removed quickly at the start of the next construction shift, and can be replaced by the permanent concrete patches. Productivity is increased with the use of timber Mocks. The timber Mock inserts are recommended for further use by the department.
