Guide for Roller-Compacted Concrete Pavements

TLDR

Roller‑compacted concrete (RCC) is an economical, fast‑construction candidate for many pavement applications, traditionally used for heavy‑load, low‑speed areas but now expanding into commercial streets and highways. This guide offers owner‑agencies, contractors, material suppliers, and others a thorough introduction to RCC and its many applications. It details RCC properties, materials, mixture proportioning, structural design, and production and construction considerations. It also provides troubleshooting guidelines and an extensive reference list for further information.

Abstract

Roller-compacted concrete (RCC) is an economical, fast-construction candidate for many pavement applications. It has traditionally been used for pavements carrying heavy loads in low-speed areas because of its relatively coarse surface. However, in recent years its use has expanded into commercial areas and local streets and highways. This guide provides owner-agencies, contractors, material suppliers, and others with a thorough introduction to RCC and its many applications. Based on current research and best practices, the guide provides detailed overviews of RCC properties and materials, mixture proportioning, structural design, and production and construction considerations, plus troubleshooting guidelines and an extensive reference list for more comprehensive information.
