Revolutionizing Construction: Roller- Compacted Concrete

Abstract

The use of roller compacted concrete (RCC) in pavements are widely used for a variety of industrial and heavy duty pavement application that involves low-speed traffic. The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the effect of bagasse ash and triangular polyester fiber (TPF) on mechanical properties of RCC mixtures addressed. Optimal water content value for the maximum dry density of each RCC mixture is one of the main concerns for mix design. In this study, an effect of TPF used as 0.25%, 0.50% and 0.75% per one cum with bagasse ash 15%, 30% and 45% by cement weight as a partial cement replacement on optimum water content, mechanical properties was investigated. The mechanical properties of RCC mix with TPF decrease due to water requirement increase. RCC mixtures with bagasse ash 30% partial replacement of cement and TPF at 90 days curing should be designed to fulfill the requirement of strength and workability
