Description / Abstract:
Scope and objective
This report presents a discussion of the equipment and special
construction procedures associated with the compaction of RCC. It
includes characteristics of the mixture relevant to compaction and
the effects of compaction on desired properties of RCC. These
properties include various strength parameters, watertightness, and
durability. Differentiation is made between RCC used in massive
concrete work and that used in pavements. The discussion also
includes provisions for measurement of compaction. This report does
not cover soil-cement or cement-treated base.
The objective of this report is to summarize experience in
compaction of RCC in various applications, to offer guidance in the
selection of equipment and procedures for compaction, and in
quality control of the work.
