Borges, S K (1987) Roller-compacted concrete pavement: U.S. Air force decision model. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 113(3), pp. 480-487. ISSN 0733-9364
Abstract
This study investigated the possibility of U.S. Air Force use of roller compacted concrete pavement (RCCP). A decision model was developed. To do this, the unique pavement requirements of the U.S. Air Force were identified. These requirements were then compared with the inherent strengths and weaknesses of RCCP. Using this methodology, a decision checklist was developed to support the Air Force engineering manager in deciding if RCCP is a good choice for a particular pavement application. The logic behind the decision model could be applied to the use of other new construction technologies.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
