Roller Compacted Concrete

This study was carried out to examine the correlation between roller compacted pavement concrete mixes and the compactability with surface vibrator. Two factors are significant for the consistency of the concrete: the sand/cement ratio of the mortar component by weight and the coarse aggregate/ mortar ratio by volume. The most...

A roller compacted concrete pavement (RCCP) reinforced with continuous steel bars was recently developed at the New Tokyo International Airport. The construction is fast and the effectiveness of load transfer at cracked sections of the continuously reinforced concrete pavement is high. This RCCP was built in two layers. Steel bars...

A study has been conducted in order to determine the influence of a wide range of factors on the properties of roller compacted concrete (RCC): coarse aggregate type and content, addition of fly ash, chemical admixtures type and quantity, technologies of manufacturing and compaction, tranportation time and concrete curing. The...

This article describes the Slovenian experience with PCC technology on four different sites with different requirements and for different purposes. The job mix formulas and the different application possibilities are described. Paver compacted concrete (PCC) is a relatively new construction method which was evaluated from roller compacted concrete (RCC) technology....

Colombia is a developing country with enormous difficulties for the implementation of new technologies due to their introduction costs and the positioning of existing ones. Despite the constant academic efforts to keep it alive, the construction of concrete pavements has been asleep for years as a consequence of the obsolescence...

This paper describes the investigation of the time dependent behaviour of roller compacted concrete pavements (RCCP) in port yards resulting from drying shrinkage and thermal stresses, and sedsuridi effects on the joint width. Test results show that even with a joint spacing of 8 m, approximately 1 N/mm2 of thermal...

In many countries rullw cumpactod concrete (RCC) proved to be a success as a construction method for highly stressed industrial floors, for concrete pavements, subbases for concrete pavements and asphalt surfaces. Since 1993 the Research, Development and Consulting Department of tho Heidelberger Zement AG is attended with a research project...

A new mix design methodology for roller compacted concrete (RCC) is described that involves preparing low and high density specimens at various (typically three) cement contents. For each specimen density is determined. Strengths (compressive and/or split tensile) are measured at various intervals (e.g., 1, 4, 7 and 28 days). Multiple...

Roller compacted concrete pavements (RCCP) have been increasingly constructed in many places in Japan. However, the behaviour of RCCP in the areas of joints and cracked sections has not been completely cleared. In order to establish a rational thickness design of RCCP and to study long-term behaviour of RCCP and...

When roller-compacted concrete pavements (ReePi :11' u-cd ill Sweden, they are always used as a wear cour-e. Evpenenee shows that RCCP which have been laid meet the functional requirements. Carefully executed quality control is important for the results. Consequently two new lest methods. the Kango (cube) and the RA methods....

Precise measurements on experimental ruil scale pavements demonstrate that curling and warping phenomena arc affecting similarly the RCC and the conventional PCC pavements of equivalent designs: with «light differences in deflections and joint openings mainly attributed to different adherence at the slab-base interface. After IS months exposed to drying shrinkage....
