This report covers the present state of the art for roller-compacted concrete pavements. It contains information on applications, material properties, mix proportioning, design, construction, and quality control procedures. Roller-compacted concrete use for pavements is relatively recent and the technology is still evolving. The pavement consists of a relatively stiff mixture of aggregate, cementitious materials and water, that is compacted by rollers and hardened into concrete.
