RCC is a stiff, zero-slump concrete mixture with the consistency of damp gravel comprised of local aggregates or crushed recycled concrete, Portland cement, and water. The mixture is placed and roller compacted with the same commonly available equipment used for asphalt pavement construction. The process requires no forms, finishing, surface texturing, or joint sawing and sealing. Because of its low water-cement ratio, RCC typically has high strengths similar to, or even greater than, conventional concrete. RCC's high-strength properties combined with ease of construction and high rate of production often make RCC more economical than a flexible pavement. Additionally, more than 20 years of exposure as logging roads in cold climates have demonstrated that RCC has adequate resistance to freezing and thawing.   RCC Design Seminar 11-13-08 Atlanta, GA Speaker Presentations: RCC Applications and Design Wayne Adaska, P.E.
