Construction of a roller compacted concrete pavement hardstand at kitzingen, west Germany
In October 1986 a roller compacted concrete pavement (rccp) hardstand, the first of its kind in Europe, was built for the United States army at harvey barracks in kitzingen, west Germany. This paper discusses the design considerations and construction techniques of this unique paving method, as well as the intensive quality control procedures used. The results of the quality control tests, particularly the in situ density determinations with the nuclear gauge; the strength and unit weight of cores, cylinders, and beams; and the smoothness tests are presented and compared to specification requirements. Correlations of roller passes to in situ density, splitting tensile and flexural strength to sample density, flexural strength to splitting tensile strength, and nuclear gauge density and moisture content determinations to modified proctor test results, are also presented. Lessons learned from observation of the construction procedure and test results that might improve the overall quality of rccp are also presented (a).
