The American Concrete Institute (ACI) has produced a guide to provide owner-agencies, contractors, materials suppliers, and others with a thorough introduction to roller-compacted concrete (RCC) and its many paving applications. RCC pavements are strong, dense and durable. These characteristics, combined with construction speed and economy, make RCC pavements an excellent alternative for parking and storage areas including port, intermodal, and military facilities; as well as highway shoulders, streets, and highways. RCC can also be used in composite systems as base material. The use of RCC pavement has increased steadily in recent years.
This guide describes RCC and how it works as a paving material, how it compares to concrete pavement, its common uses and benefits, and potential limitations compared to other paving materials. Troubleshooting guidelines are provided, as well as detailed overviews of RCC properties and materials, mixture proportioning, structural design issues, production and construction considerations, and quality control.[/vc_column_text][button new_tab=”yes” icon_position=”left” special_style=”no” border_radius=”2″ three_d=”no” size=”default” color=”default” title=”Preview” link=”http://www.concrete.org/Portals/0/Files/PDF/Previews/327R-14_PREVIEW.pdf”][button new_tab=”yes” icon_position=”left” special_style=”no” border_radius=”2″ three_d=”no” size=”default” color=”default” title=”Purchase” link=”http://www.concrete.org/Promo.aspx?SourceID=3&DestID=729&pc=EM&utm_campaign=32714&utm_medium=email&utm_source=OrderOnline”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
