Recent intermodal yard paving projects at the Port of Tacoma, Washington, are described. These projects have used a relatively new paving process known as roller-compacted concrete (RCC). RCC pavement offers a substantial cost savings over conventional portland cement concrete and asphaltic concrete pavements when used in heavy wheel load applications, such as side pick container-handling equipment and gantry-type container cranes. Besides the significant economic advantage, RCC pavement can be placed at extremely rapid rates, enabling speedy completion of tightly scheduled projects. Major items addressed include a brief history of RCC, design considerations, feasibility and economic evaluations, pavement design methods and design details, construction methods, quality control, and pavement durability and maintenance.
