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...

Session Paper Indexes, Opening Addresses, General Reports, Oral Contributions and Closings from the 6th International Symposium on Concrete Roads 1990 Madrid Spain
Very Thin Surfacings For Improving Skid Resistance of Concrete Pavements
This paper describes work on the skid resistance properties of some fine aggregates available in Indiana, as an attempt to improve the driving safety characteristics of concrete pavements. In this work the British Polishing Machine and the Portable Skid-Resistance Tester were used for laboratory evaluation of some mortar mixes. Aggregates...
Rapid Rehabilitation Techniques with Cement Concrete_ Applied on Deformed Asphaltic Roads
On asphaltic roads the so called «wash-boardeffect » in front of traffic lights is a well known phenomenon. Regular reconstruction of these areas places a significant and recurrent burden on road managing authorities. Because of the large volumen of traffic at these intersections repair works also lead to a huge...
Resurfacing Flexible Pavements with Thin Layers of Concrete with Steel Reinforcement
This paper describes the studies, reports and experimental sections related to this new type of pavement, not conventional, composed of a thin concrete layer, but with a steel reinforcement, in sufficient quantity to resist the traffic loads. The description goes back to the first studies and tests carried out inthe...
RCC Applications in Low-Volume Roads in Spain
The first known applications of RCC pavements in low-volume roads in Spain took place around 1969-1970. They included pavements located on housing developments, urban streets and rural roads. These applications have been increasing until now, when the technique is used in different parts of Spain and in other countries (Norway,...
