Abstract: Continue on reverse if neceuary and identify by block number)Roller-compacted concrete pavement (RCCP) provides a lower-quality , economical alternative to slipform and fixed-form concrete pavements.It is ideally suited for areas '"'here heavy, low speed vehicles such as tanks or container handlers are the primary users of the pavement.RCCP is constructed by placing a zero-slump portland ce~ent concrete mixture with an asphalt paver and compacting it with s everal passes of a vibratory roller.By using this cons truction method, wherein large quantities of concrete can be placed quickly with a minimal amount of labor and equipment, savings of 30 percent over conventional concrete paving methods have been reached .The final RCCP surface is not as smooth as a conventionally cons tructed concrete pavement, and the surface texture resembles that of an as phal tic concre t e pavement surface.
