Abstract

Roller compacted concrete (RCC) is a type of zero slump concrete produced from the same materials with normal concrete. Use of RCC has substantially increased in the last decades especially for pavement applications. It has a low construction cost and can be done quickly compared to asphalt pavement. It is widely constructed in roads carrying heavy loads in low speed. Also in recent years, the use of RCC in highways and inner-city streets has also increased. Roller compacted concrete pavement (RCCP) has a competitive advantage over high-performance asphalt pavements in terms of high compressive strength, good durability, low maintenance cost and longer service life. In this article at first, the materials used in the production of RCC, including cement, stone materials, water, and finally the method of mixing plan are discussed. Then to examine the properties of RCC with a focus on RCCP including mechanical properties, modulus of elasticity, fatigue and creep behavior, volume change, thermal properties, permeability and water absorption, wear, durability of pavement in the cycle of melting and freezing and surface properties of RCC been paid. The purpose of this article is to know the different characteristics of RCC and the research done in the mixture design to achieve a mixture with greater strength and durability.
