PCC Pavement stands for which?

• A. Portland Composite Concrete
• B. Portland Cement Concrete Pavement
• C. Plain Cement Compound
• D. Precast Concrete Central

Answer: (B)

Portland Cement Concrete Pavement is what PCC stands for. This pavement uses Portland cement as the binder with aggregates to form rigid concrete slabs, usually with joints and sometimes dowel bars for load transfer. The term “Pavement” in the phrase simply indicates it’s a road surface built from that material, distinguishing it from asphalt pavements. Other phrasings like Portland Composite Concrete or Plain Cement Compound aren’t standard terms for this highway type, so they don’t match the common usage.
