Abstract

In recent years, due to the problems and issues of asphalt and concrete pavements, the use of Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) in road pavement has been widely welcomed. This can be attributed to the technical and economic justifications of this new method of construction. Like conventional concrete, cement materials are one of the main components in the manufacture of roller compacted concrete. Finding materials as a replacement for part of the cement used in concrete is of particular importance. In this experimental study, the effect of the use of Taftan pumice and metakaolin with the optimum amount as an alternative to the cement is discussed in roller compacted concrete. Also, the effect of copper mine waste on compressive strength, tensile strength, bending strength and depth of water penetration with two local cements in Sistan and Baluchistan have been dealt with. Finally, using the results obtained, the optimal amount of copper mine wastes was calculated to increase the mechanical properties of roller compacted concrete containing Sistan and Khash cement. The results show that the optimal amount of copper mine waste for increased compressive strength, bending strength and tensile strength in roller compacted concrete containing Sistan cement is 5.63, 14.96, and 3.5 % , respectively, and these values in roller compacted concrete containing Khach cement is 5.64, 9.6, and 8.85 %, respectively. Also, the effect of using copper mine waste to increase the mechanical properties of roller concrete containing Sistan cement is greater than that of roller compacted concrete containing khash cement.
