40-year-old concrete stands test of time
The Directorate of Public Works, in partnership with the Cement Council of Texas, or CCT, hosted the Roller-Compacted Concrete, or RCC, Engineer Learning Professional Development Symposium June 23 to highlight RCC at Fort Cavazos. Andrew Pinkerton, executive director...
Port of Savannah Chooses Roller-Compacted Concrete for Its Ocean Terminal Expansion
In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Georgia Port Authority (GPA) held a bid to expand the capabilities of its Ocean Terminal, located off the banks of the Savannah River in Savannah, Georgia, to provide more storage for the loading and offloading of medium duty cargo...
Performance of Thin Roller Compacted Concrete Pavement Under Accelerated Loading
RCC is broadly defined as a stiff, low water concrete that is mixed and placed at a no-slump consistency, then compacted with vibratory rollers. RCC has similar strength properties and consists of the same basic ingredients as conventional concrete—well-graded...
RCC Pavement Lays Foundation for Port of Houston Authority Projects
Cost-effective and durable, roller-compacted concrete (RCC) pavement is laying a solid foundation for a number of significant projects for the Port of Houston Authority (PHA). By 2020, the Port is expected to have 380 acres of mostly 18-inch-thick RCC, making it the...
