A very good aspect of RCC as a sustainable material and construction technique is its versatility of applications. This can also be seen as the adaptability of this mate- rial and construction practice to suit specific applications. Whether small or large scale or for regular or tough wear and tear, RCC can be used in a wide range of applications. The types of loads that RCCP can carry and the nature of traffic that it can handle vary widely. Depending on the type of application, the design methodology can differ. The following is a partial list of RCC applications:
• Airport apron areas (e.g., Denver International airport)
• Composite construction consisting of RCC overlaid with a layer of asphalt
• Pavement bases (e.g., dry lean concrete base course beneath the wearing course in rigid pavements in India)
• Low-maintenance roads and parking areas (General Motors, Spring Hill, Tennessee)
• Industrial access roads surfaced with or without asphalt or concrete overlay (Tennessee DOT)
• Inlay rehabilitation (McMurray, Alberta, Canada)
• Fast-track intersections (Calgary, Alberta, Canada)
• Shoulder reconstruction (I285, Atlanta, Georgia)
• City streets (Lane Avenue, Columbus, Ohio)
