DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF ROLLER COMPACTED CONCRETE PAVEMENTS --14TH ARRB CONFERENCE, 28 AUGUST - 2 SEPTEMBER, 1988, CANBERRA, ACT, AUSTRALIA; PROC. PARTS 1 - 8

Roller compacted concrete pavements are constructed of zero slump portland cement concrete placed with construction procedures similar to those used with asphalt concrete. These construction procedures can result in cost savings of 10 to 30 per cent compared to conventional concrete pavement construction. When properly proportioned and constructed, roller compacted concrete has strength equal to or greater than conventionally constructed concrete pavement with the same cement content. Roller compacted concrete pavement is not as smooth and has an open surface texture similar to asphalt concrete. Its major application has been for industrial pavements where these surface characteristics are acceptable, however as construction procedures improve, roller compacted concrete use is expanding to higher quality pavements. This paper reviews the procedures used to proportion, construct, and design roller compacted concrete pavements and discusses some areas needing further improvement and research (a). For the covering record of the conference, see IRRD no 808936.
