Title: CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES FOR ROLLER-COMPACTED CONCRETE
Accession Number: 00474226
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Roller-compacted concrete (RCC) is a new material that uses a construction technique that applies the material property theories of both soil mechanics and concrete. The resulting product is a construction material with the strength characteristic of conventional concrete. Because RCC is a new material, the construction process for its placement is in a state of trial and adjustment; however, a unique feature of RCC is the use of standard earthmoving equipment for transportation, placement, and compaction. Earthmoving equipment reduces the labor-intensive process necessary for conventional concrete placement. The RCC mix is placed in a solid (no vertical joints) horizontal layer across the total placement area. No cure time is necessary between layers.
