Roller compacted concrete
- Roller compacted concrete, sometimes called rollcrete, is a low-cement-content stiff concrete placed using techniques borrowed from earthmoving and paving work.
- The concrete is placed on the surface to be covered, and is compacted in place using large heavy rollers typically used in earthwork.
- The concrete mix achieves a high density and cures over time into a strong monolithic block.
- Roller compacted concrete is typically used for concrete pavement. Roller compacted concrete dams can also be built, as the low cement content causes less heat to be generated while curing than typical for conventionally placed massive concrete pours
