Durability performance and dimensional stability of roller compacted concrete: Comprehensive review

Nowadays, roller compacted concretes (RCC) are preferred because of their fast production, low cost and better durability performance than the conventional concretes. RCC mixtures are applied in many areas such as airports, factories, oil stations, different industrial floors and especially in dams and roads. In this study, a comprehensive literature review about the advantages, disadvantages, history, mechanical and durability performance of RCC application was made. For this purposes, the mechanical properties, such as compressive, flexural, tensile strengths, modulus of elasticity, fatigue behaviour and creep performance of RCC mixtures containing fly ash, blast furnace slag, steel and polypropylene type fibers and recycled materials were reviewed. Besides, Studies about the durability performance of RCC mixtures, such as transport properties, freeze-thaw resistance, dimensional properties, density and thermal characteristics in the literature were investigated
