Abstract:

Roller-compacted concrete (RCC) is a relatively stiff or zero-slump concrete mixture that is compacted by vibratory roller. RCC is capable of providing concrete with relatively high in-place strength, and its engineering behavior is similar to that of conventional concrete. RCC is being used as a paving material at off-highway facilities such as container ports, intermodal yards, log-sorting yards, truck parking areas, and tank aprons (hardstands). An investigation was recently conducted to develop engineering data and procedures for design of RCC pavements. A procedure for thickness design of RCC pavements is presented in this paper. The design approach used for RCC pavements is similar to the procedure used by the Portland Cement Association for design of concrete airfield and heavy industrial pavements. The proposed procedure requires computation of allowable pavement stress based on the number of total load applications and computation of expected pavement stress due to the design wheel loading. A design thickness is selected such that the expected pavement stress is less than the allowable pavement stress. The proposed procedure is also applicable to mixed traffic loading.
