O.K. for starters, I know nothing about RCC (roller-compacted concrete). What I know is they use it for gravity dams, it has about a zero slump, and it's compacted using a roller (duh). I'm assuming that it's batched on site, as a concrete delivery truck needs some slump to mix and chute from the back side of the truck. Then again. . .
Here's a few of my questions: If you design an 8-in thick industrial pavement using 4-in slump, 4,000 psi, 6 percent air content concrete, how would you design an alternate for RCC? How do you get air content into the RCC?
Of what possible benefit would you get from a program such as this:
Thanks in advance for any/all assistance. We have a client that wants us to specify RCC for his developemnt and we are talking about a 1,100 cy pavement job. I think the scale of the job sounds too small for this design change. Then again. . .
