This Presentation on Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) experience in the U.S.A outlines: What is RCC and RCCP? Does it have a place on Australian projects? Is RCC still Slipformed Concrete’s Ugly sister? Application Examples of RCCP – Roads – Industrial Why is North America leading the world?
Development of RCC (USA), Getting concrete pavements on the road & open more quickly
Effect of Nonuniform Foundation Support on Concrete Slab Responses
The ability to spatially map the stiffness of the foundation layers under concrete pavements with intelligent compaction has created a need to define limits on the allowable stiffness variations in a given construction area as well as the maximum size of a non-complaint area which does not require remedial action....
Performance of Pervious Concrete Pavement in Freeze-Thaw Conditions and With Winter Maintenance [No Fines Concrete]
In 2007 the Cement Association of Canada, industry members and the Centre for Pavement and Transportation Technology at the University of Waterloo partnered to carry out a study to evaluate the behaviour of pervious concrete pavement in the Canadian climate. Field sites have been constructed and monitored and laboratory testing...
Evolution of Pervious Concrete Pavement at the Ministry of Transportation Ontario, Canada [No Fines Concrete]
As part of the Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO) drive to pursue innovation and have the “greenest” roads in North America, MTO is actively pursuing the use of pervious concrete pavement. Pervious concrete provides many environmental benefits and is recognized as a stormwater management best practice. There is also strong...
Mix Design Method and Void Performance of Concrete for Pervious Concrete Pavement [No Fines Concrete]
Pervious concrete pavement is drawing increasing attention for its high content of interconnected voids which is expected to reduce the environmental impact as concrete is often counted as a causal factor of the urban heat island phenomenon. Performance of pervious concrete can be measured by water permeability, water retentivity and...
Guided Public Transport Infrastructures Contribution of Cement Concrete in Innovative Designs
Recent years have witnessed the significant development of public surface transport systems: in our cities: tramways, systems on tyres, right-of-way bus corridors, etc. This phenomenon is a response to the high stakes involved for mobility and communication in urban areas. These projects have seen the emergence of new problematics related...
Concrete Roads in Pavement Management Systems from Technical To Political Responsibilities
CROW published in 2001 in the Netherlands the new national methodology on Pavement Management Systems on asphalt, block pavements and concrete roads. DHV has been the author of this publication. Two major improvements are implemented in this new methodology: 1. concrete pavements are fully included 2. a connection has been...

Superplasticised Concrete For Urban Paving
Concrete made with a superplasticiser has been used in Germany in the field of paving since the middle of the seventies. If these concretes of high workability show a high strength at a young age, they are called high early strength. These concretes can be subjected to high loading on...
The Passage of State Roads Through Built-Up Areas. Applications of Concrete Block Pavements
In the eighties, a campaign was set up in Belgium in view of the rearrangement of the state road sections which are passing through built-up areas. These projects were meant to improve the road safety and the viability along these cross town links. Efforts were made to come to a...
Design of Low-Volume Concrete Roads. Tables Or Analytical Procedure?
This paper deals with the problem of thickness design of low-volume roads. It examines the possible use of tables of minimal thickness or analytical methods, especially developed for low-volume roads (as in France and Belgium). Attention has been paid to realise the influence of design factors, such as traffic and...
Light-Traffic Roads in France Towards New Practices
Decentralization has brought about significantly renewed interest in France in investments for regional and local roads, their rehabilitation and maintenance. Many methodological tools have been developed in the past 10 years to prepare and accompany these trends in areas in which cement concrete had played a sinall relative part in...
