Rolling compacted concrete is a no-slump concrete which is compacted with rollers and spread in base materials. This kind of concrete could be used with a wide range of aggregation. Regarding that road construction is growing up in Iran and maintenance costs of asphaltic concrete pavements are too high, these materials can be a good substitute. In this paper physical and mechanical characteristics and mixing design of RCC is investigated.
