29、y pavement applications. Because of its relatively coarse surface, RCC has tradition-ally been used for pavements carrying heavy loads in low-speed areas. In recent years, however, its use in commercial areas and for local streets and highways is increasing.This guide is largely based on Harrington

30、et al. (2010). The review panel for the Harrington report was made up largely of ACI Committee 327 members. With the coopera-tion of the Portland Cement Association, the report was used as the basis for this guide. Extensive changes were made during the committee review, including incorporating mate

31、-rial from ACI 325.10R. Additional references and examples have been added.CHAPTER 2NOTATION AND DEFINITIONS2.1NotationC = coefficient relating flexural and compressive strength with values ranging from 9 to 11E = modulus of elasticity, psi (MPa)fr= flexural strength (third-point loading), psi (MPa)

35、ompact it into its final form. Roller-compacted concrete has similar strength properties and consists of the same basic ingre-dients as conventional concretewell-graded aggregates, cementitious materials, and waterbut has different mixture proportions. The biggest difference between RCC and conven-t

36、ional concrete mixtures is that RCC has a higher percentage of fine aggregates that allow for tight packing and compaction.Fresh RCC is stiffer than typical zero-slump conventional concrete, with a consistency that is stiff enough to remain stable under vibratory rollers, yet wet enough to permit ad

37、equate mixing and distribution of paste without segregation.RCC is typically placed with an asphalt-type paver equipped with a standard or high-density screed, followed by a combination of passes with rollers for compaction. Final compaction is usually achieved within 1 hour of mixing. Unlike conven

38、tional concrete pavements, RCC pavements are constructed without forms, dowels, or reinforcing steel. Joint sawing is not required, but when sawing is specified, transverse joints are spaced farther apart than with conven-tional concrete pavements.RCC pavements are strong, dense, and durable. These

39、characteristics, combined with construction speed and economy, make RCC pavements an excellent alternative for parking and storage areas including port, intermodal, and military facilities; highway shoulders; streets; and highways. RCC can also be used in composite systems as base material.The use o

40、f RCC in public and private applications has been increasing steadily in recent years (Fig. 3.1), particu-Fig. 3.1Increasing use of RCC pavements (Pittman and Anderton 2009).

42、 pavements (Fig. 3.2a). However, while RCC pavements are compacted in the same manner and have similar aggregate gradation (Chapters 5 and 6) as asphalt pavements (Fig. 3.2b), the materials and struc-tural performance properties of RCC are similar to those of conventional concrete pavement.With well

43、-graded aggregates, proper cement and water content, and dense compaction, RCC pavements can achieve strength properties equal to those of conventional concrete, with low permeability.RCC mixtures should be dry enough to support the weight of a vibratory roller after placement, yet wet enough to ens

44、ure an even distribution of paste. Proper proportioning is essential for ensuring that the mixture has sufficient paste to coat the aggregate particles and fill the voids of the compacted mixture. Coating the aggregate particles is essen-tial to obtain a strong and durable pavement and ensure load t

45、ransfer through aggregate interlock.Compaction is the process by which the aggregate parti-cles in the RCC mixture are forced closer together, reducing the amount of air voids in the mixture and increasing the density of the pavement structure. Increased density makes the pavement suitable for load-

46、bearing applications. Rolling should occur before cement hydration begins to harden the paste between the aggregate particles.Achieving proper density during the rolling process helps prevent non-uniform compaction and isolated weak areas. Depending on the specific mixture and laydown equipment used

47、, external mechanical compaction by rollers could result in a 5 to 20 percent reduction in volume and pavement thickness.Minimizing air void content in the RCC mixture is crucial to its durability. Excess air voids allow penetration of air and water. Non-entrained air weakens the mixture, while exce

48、s-sive water can weaken the mixture and also cause mate-rials-related distresses in the aggregates and damage from freezing and thawing (F-T).Fig. 3.2aRCC combines aspects of conventional concrete and hot-mix asphalt paving materials and construction practices (Harrington et al. 2010).Fig. 3.2bAggre
