A Review on Recent Advancements in Roller Compacted Concrete

Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) is a durable material highly used for Pavements and Dams construction. In this regard being a high qualified material for its many advantages like Faster paving, Labor savings, Tax savings etc., researchers have produced many significant studies and derived the best results by various approaches. Some research includes the study of roller compacted concrete by partial replacement of cementitious minerals such as GGBS, admixtures like Glass fibres, Synthetic Fibres etc. With the help of locally available materials many tests have been conducted and results were shared to the world for further scope of study. Roller compacted concrete (RCC) has many advantages and the main attraction is its low water requirement with high workability and high compaction. This automatically results the outstanding compression strength. Current research has been focused on the improvement of mechanical properties and durability of the roller Compacted concrete incorporating different minerals and materials. In this paper, the Review of the papers have been presented in order to come to an overall understanding of the current progress for the Roller Compacted Concrete which is mainly being used for Roads, pavements, Parking lots and Dams.
