A study of aggregate characteristics affecting the anti-cracking capability of roller compacted concrete (RCC)

Abstract

    The aggregate characteristic's affecting anti-cracking capability of Roler Compacted Concrete (RCC) are studied in theory and experiment. An anti-cracking parameter Φ is introduced to indicate the anticracking capability of RCC. The parameter Φ can then be used as a guide line to evaluate the anti-cracking capability of RCC mixed with aggregates of different modulus of elasticity and strengh.
