Roller Compacted Concrete

The first Ree full scale testing project in Norway took place in 1981. Since then appr. 260.000 m2 Ree have been placed. The use of Ree in roads in Norway has been directed by the following main principles: 1. Ree shall be a pavement with good bearing capacity, good resistance...

Roller Compacted Concrete Pavements have been constructed on six US Forces military installations within the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). These RCC pavements will be used as hardstands supporting either wheeled or tracked vehicles. RCC hardstands within the FRG have saved as much as 22 % of the construction cost...

Clients and contractors all over the world are aiming to reduce construction cost by using less expensive construction material and applying new, more economic construction methods. This is a continuous challenge to the manufacturers of construction machinery to modify existing machines or develop new ones to meet the contractor's requirements....

Traffic areas are being executed to an increasing degree with roller compacted concrete. This concerns a concrete which is transported with earth-moving equipment, installed and compacted. To gather experience on concrete technology, test fields were laid. Furthermore, within the framework of a quality assurance program, comprehensive tests were performed on...

First applications of roller compacted concrete (RCC) pavements on main highways took place in Spain in 1984. Since this year, RCC pavements have been employed in a large variety of works, their total surface exceeding 1.600.000 m2 by the end of 1989. Up to now, their behaviour has been very...

Roller Compacted Concrete Pavement in Japan has progressed rapidly today because of its simplified paving method and early opening to traffic. Structural properties of RCCP are required to be investigated to establish design method of this pavement. Load response after paving and strain due to base course friction were measured....

Australia has now over three years of experience in the use of high strength RCC in pavements with over 40 projects completed. Whilst the majority of Australian projects have been relatively small in comparison to American and European experience, nevertheless they have enabled a continued development of design, construction and...

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....
