Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) is a no slump concrete that is placed by an asphalt paver and compacted with vibratory rollers similar to asphalt pavement construction. RCC has long history of good performance as a pavement for ports, container yards, and manufacturing plants. This paper will summarize a recent survey...

Development of RCC (USA), Getting concrete pavements on the road & open more quickly
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?
Environmental Performances of Roller Compacted Concrete Pavement
The use of RCC is now well established for industrial pavements, and is spreading in North America and recently in Europe for transportation pavement with high mechanical performances requirements such as Tram or Bus platforms. Cost advantage and mechanical performances are two undeniable benefits of this technology. The development of...
Thinking Outside the Box with Roller Compacted Concrete Pavement
Roller compacted concrete (RCC) pavement has been used for decades in situations where repetitive heavy loads are applied and for large paved areas. These applications have included logging yards, ports, automobile manufacturing plants, and warehouse districts among other places. While these are appropriate applications for RCC pavement, there are many...
Roller Compacted Concrete Pavements for the Urban Environment Turkish Experience
Roller compacted concrete has traditionally been used for pavements carrying heavy loads in low speed areas because of its relatively coarse surface texture. However, its use in commercial areas for local streets and highways has been increasing, especially within the United States. Even though Turkey is one of the main...

Roller Compacted Heavy Concrete (RCHC) for Pavement Strength and Density
In the technology of the Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) for pavement, various types of aggregations are used classically as aggregates, such as the crushed and the rolled aggregates limestone and siliceous, giving concretes with a relative density in the order of 2200 to 2300 kg/m3. In the present work, we...
A Feasibility Study of Incorporating Bottom Ash in Roller Compacted Concrete Pavements
Roller compacted concrete as a pavement material has been gaining acceptance over the past years. RCC can be of particular interest in base course applications combing attractive cost with easiness of construction. RCC is a friendly pavement material to incorporate by-products of industries such as bottom coal ash. This paper...
Introduction of a Laboratory-Based Mix Design Method for Roller Compacted Concrete Pavements in El Salvador
This paper presents a laboratory-based mix design method for roller compacted concrete pavements for optimizing their cost-performance. It consists in introducing a new design procedure based on laboratory tests for aggregates, sand/gravel ratio, cement/water ratio, cement content, and resistance of the specimens to compression and flexion, in order to establish...
Some Physical Properties of Roller Compacted Concretes Used in Road Pavement Applications
Some physical test results available in the literature on Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) were evaluated. Most of the physical properties of RCCs such as drying shrinkage, frost resistance, abrasion, and fatigue are similar to those of conventional concrete with the same water-cement ratio. Since RCC is a zero slump concrete...
