• Abstract:
  Roller compacted concrete (RCC) is a stiff , zero-slump concrete mixture placed with modifi ed ; asphalt paving equipment and compacted by vibratory rollers. Properly designed RCC mixes ; can achieve outstanding compressive strengths similar to those of conventional concrete ; despite low cement content. On the other hand, the cost per square yard of RCC is only ; about 60 percent of the cost for conventional Portland cement concrete pavement. RCC has ; traditionally been used for pavements carrying heavy loads in low-speed areas due to its ; relatively coarse surface. With improved paving and compaction methods as well as surface ; texturing techniques, recent applications of RCC have been found for interstate highway ; shoulders, city streets, and other highways.
