In order to shorten the curing time of the cement-treated aggregate base, provide a stable paving base for an asphalt mixture, and finally, achieve rapid traffic reopening during the maintenance of the pavement (milling and resurfacing of the base layer), sulphoaluminate cement (SAC) was used to prepare cement-treated aggregate with high early strength. As a result, the SAC was first optimized by adding several cement admixtures (i.e., polycarboxylic water reducer, borax, lithium carbonate, and calcium formate) ba…
