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...
Central Freight Yard Long Term Study
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...
Frost Durability of Roller-Compacted Concrete Pavements
The growth of roller-compacted concrete pavement use in cold climate regions often is impeded by concerns regarding its ability to resist frost attack. Most published laboratory test results have indicated that the frost resistance and particularly the deicer...
Roller Compacted Concrete Over Soil Cement Under Accelerated Loading
Thin Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) pavement (i.e., the RCC thickness < 8 in.) has drawn a great deal of attention in recent years due to its potential application for low volume roadways where heavy and/or overloaded truck trafficking are often encountered....
