Roller-compacted concrete (RCC) pavement is suitable for heavy traffic and harsh environment. In the present investigation, RCC slab samples have been prepared using two types of aggregates (crushed and rounded), and two types of cement binder (ordinary Portland and sulphate resistant). Cubes and beam specimens have been extracted from the slab samples with the aid of diamond saw. Specimens were tested for bulk density, ultrasound pulse velocity, compressive and flexural strength. It was observed that crushed aggregates exhibit higher compressive and flexural strength, and higher density regardless of the cement content or type of cement as compared with rounded aggregates. The compressive strength of mixtures with crushed aggregates is higher than that of mixtures with rounded aggregates by 9.4, 37.2, and 47.1% and 5.7, 26.1, and 31.2% for mixtures with 10, 12, and 16% of Portland and sulphate resistance cement respectively. The flexural strength for mixtures with crushed aggregates is higher than that of mixtures with rounded aggregates by 19.7, 18.4, and 15% and 13.4, 14.3, and 16.5% for mixtures with ordinary and sulphate resistance cement content of 10, 12, and 16% respectively. The bulk density for mixtures with crushed aggregates is higher than that of mixtures with rounded aggregates by 0.2, 0.65, and 2.5% and 0.4, 1.0, and 2.3% for mixtures with ordinary and sulphate resistance cement content of 10, 12, and 16% respectively.

nRoller-compacted concrete (RCC) pavement is suitable for heavy traffic and harsh environment. In the present investigation, RCC slab samples have been prepared using two types of aggregates (crushed and rounded), and two types of cement binder (ordinary Portland and sulphate resistant). Cubes and beam specimens have been extracted from the slab samples with the aid of diamond saw. Specimens were tested for bulk density, ultrasound pulse velocity, compressive and flexural strength. It was observed that crushed aggregates exhibit higher compressive and flexural strength, and higher density regardless of the cement content or type of cement as compared with rounded aggregates. The compressive strength of mixtures with crushed aggregates is higher than that of mixtures with rounded aggregates by 9.4, 37.2, and 47.1% and 5.7, 26.1, and 31.2% for mixtures with 10, 12, and 16% of Portland and sulphate resistance cement respectively. The flexural strength for mixtures with crushed aggregates is higher than that of mixtures with rounded aggregates by 19.7, 18.4, and 15% and 13.4, 14.3, and 16.5% for mixtures with ordinary and sulphate resistance cement content of 10, 12, and 16% respectively.
