ACI 309.5R-00 (R2006) PDF Download

The ACI 309.5R-00 (R2006) standard focuses on providing guidance and recommendations for the compaction of Roller-Compacted Concrete (RCC). The standard discusses the equipment and specialized construction procedures associated with the compaction process. It provides information on the characteristics of the RCC mixture that are relevant to compaction, as well as the effects of compaction on the desired properties of the RCC, including strength, watertightness, and durability.

There is a differentiation made between RCC used in massive concrete work and RCC used in pavements, recognizing that different compaction techniques may be required for different applications. The standard also includes provisions for the measurement of compaction, ensuring that proper quality control is performed during the compaction process.

It is important to note that the standard specifically focuses on RCC and does not cover soil-cement or cement-treated base. The objective of this report is to provide a summary of experiences related to the compaction of RCC in various applications, offering guidance in the selection of equipment and procedures for compaction, and providing recommendations for quality control of the work.
