Abstract
Fine limestone aggregate is abundant in several areas of the state. The aggregate is a by-product from the production of concrete stone. Roller compacted concrete (RCC) is a portland cement concrete mixture that can be produced with small size aggregate. The objective of the research was to evaluate limestone screenings in RCC mixes. Acceptable strength and freeze/thaw durability were obtained with 300 pounds of portland cement and 260 pounds of Class C fly ash. The amount of aggregate passing the number 200 sieve ranged from 4.6 to 11 percent. Field experience in Iowa indicates that the aggregate gradation is more critical to placeability and compactibility than laboratory strength and durability.
