Abstract

Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC), distinguished by its zero-slump consistency and high density achieved through heavy roller compaction, has gained recognition as an effective alternative to conventional concrete in applications such as pavements, industrial flooring, and dam construction. This paper reviews the evolution, material composition, and common uses of RCC in comparison with Conventional Concrete (CC), emphasizing the advantages and limitations of each. Key performance aspects, including mechanical strength, durability, workability, construction efficiency, and maintenance demands, are examined. The findings indicate that RCC can reduce construction time by up to 25% and lower maintenance costs by approximately 30–40%. Additionally, life-cycle cost analyses and case studies suggest that RCC may decrease material and labor expenses by around 20%. The environmental performance of RCC and CC is also assessed, considering factors such as carbon emissions, energy use, incorporation of recycled materials, water consumption, and waste generation. The study concludes by outlining directions for future research.
