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.
