Is Roller-Compacted Concrete
An Option on Every Project?
 WHAT IS?
was originally limited to the sub-
base of roads and airfield
pavements, being called lean
concrete or dry lean concrete.
Roller compacted concrete or RCC
contains a low cement content,
about 110 to 120 kg/m3, and
uses washed aggregate of
concreting quality and it has
been defined by the American
Concrete Institute(ACI) on
section 207.5R-89 as concrete
compacted by rollers.
 Cost and Techniques Applied to
Roller-Compacted Concrete
The process of RCC itself will reduce your
construction costs as there is no need to use
rebars or forms, and the application process is
very easy and can be done quickly. As an
average, the cost per yard of RCC is about $75
per cubic yard while the cost of Hot-mix Asphalt
pavement is about $90 per cubic yard, so you will
already notice there are some savings by using
RCC. Not only that, there are certain products
used to improve RCC surface and applied to the
RCC mix such as RCC Surface Pro that improves https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?

surface appearance and durability while ACEiT q=tbn:ANd9GcRBW3dmuRMC8Nh-

admixture can improve workability.
 RCC Placing Tips
Water quantity shall be carefully monitored and no water
shall be added once it has been mixed thoroughly
Dump trucks are normally used to place concrete along with
paver equipment
RCC shall be placed within 60 minutes otherwise, joints could
have problems later on
A 4-inch layer shall be the minimum thickness applied and 10
inch thick should the thickest you can go on a single lift.
RCC shall be compacted to 98% modified Proctor
The concrete shall be finished with a small steel roller
Joints shall be fresh and moist to adhere to next concrete
section
Curing concrete is critical for good results

Advantages of Roller Compacted
Concrete (RCC)
This concrete solution can be used to
maintain trac open and large volumes
of RCC can be placed easily. Normally,
RCC will be mixed at or near
construction sites, and then transported
using dump trucks and placed into an
asphalt paver equipment. Then the RCC
can be placed in lifts of almost 40 feet
wide and 10 inches thick. The placing of
the concrete is made in continuous
layers and is consolidated by vibrating
rollers. Other benefits are: http://www.aran.com.au/es/images/imgRccPavem_1.jpg
1. Reduce cement consumption as
leaner concrete mix can be used.
2. Formwork costs are minimized or
eliminated because of the layer
placement method.
3. No concerns of high heat release
while the concrete is drying
4. The cost of transporting,
placement, and compaction of
concrete is minimized because
concrete can be hauled by dump
trucks; spread by bulldozers and https://newsmedia.tasnimnews.com/Tasnim/Uploaded/Image/1393/10/05/1393100

How to Compact Roller Concrete
Once the product has been placed, compaction
process should start until the concrete pavement
meets density requirements. A water cure spray or
irrigation systems must be used to keep the
concrete wet and providing for a smooth surface.
For proper workability, the concrete mix must be
dry enough to prevent sinking of the vibratory
roller. This process allows the chemical reaction
that causes concrete to harden and gain strength
to begin and complete. Once cured, the pavement
is ready for use while sometimes an extra layer of
asphalt surface is applied over the concrete for
greater smoothness or as a riding surface for high-
speed trac.

CONCRETO COMPACTADO CON
RODILLO
CONCRETO COMPACTADO CON RODILLO
PARA VAS

QU ES EL CONCRETO COMPACTADO CON

RODILLO?

Al CCR lo podemos definir como un concreto seco,

con asentamiento cero, con bajos contenidos
de cemento que pueden ir entre 60 y 240 kg/m3 y que
debe ser compactado con un rodillo vibratorio. Esta
mezcla debe cumplir con una humedad mnima, que
evite que los equipos de colocacin se hundan, pero a la
vez suficiente para garantizar la uniformidad de la pasta
de cemento dentro de la mezcla.
INSTALACIN
Este tipo de pavimento se pone en obra como una
mezcla bituminosa, con la misma maquinaria,
realizando la extensin con una extendedora o con
motoniveladora, pero en ambos casos representa una
ventaja por utilizarse maquinaria muy habitual en una
obra de carretera. Una vez extendido se debe
compactar enrgicamente, de la misma forma que
capas como la gravacemento, mediante rodillos
vibratorios y de neumticos.
El hormign utilizado en este tipo de firmes tiene un
bajo contenido de agua, con una relacin
agua/cemento de 0,35-0,40, y un contenido de
cemento anlogo al de otro hormign de pavimentos,
no siendo inferior a 300 kg/m3, en el que
normalmente se utilizan cementos de elevado
contenido de cenizas volantes, por lo general superior
al 35%.
Otra ventaja de estos pavimentos, es que tras la
compactacin, y debidamente protegido
superficialmente por un riego, que puede ser el riego
de curado, se puede abrir inmediatamente al trfico.
Esto resulta muy interesante en refuerzos de
carreteras de bajo trfico.
 VENTAJAS
Alta resistencia y durabilidad.
Mayor permeabilidad del
concreto.
Permite desarrollar altas tasas de
colocacin, superiores a las
obtenidas en el concreto
convencional.
No requiere cimbra de ningn
tipo.
Los costos de construccin son
ms bajos.
Alto volumen de produccin.
 CCR EN COLOMBIA
En Colombia la primera presa construida en CCR fue Porce II; este proyecto ubicado en el departamento de
Antioquia inici su construccin en el ao 1994. Otra presa construida fue La Miel I entre el ao 2000 y 2004,
ubicada en el departamento de Caldas. El solo hecho de haber utilizado este tipo de concreto y no el concreto
convencional signific un ahorro de costos finales para el proyecto del 20%.
 CONCLUSIONES
La mezcla de CCR es vital para el xito de la capa a construir de pavimento
ya que determina la trabajabilidad incidiendo en la efectividad final
del pavimento
El CCR es una opcin competitiva econmicamente y en forma
constructiva pero requiere mayor tecnologa
