Now a days we all are familiar with RCC structure, this material is widely used in concrete for casting various structures like slab, wall, dam, road, bridge etc. In this article, we will take a closer look at RCC, its properties, applications, advantages and disadvantages.
RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) - Detailed Explanation
RCC, i.e. Reinforced Cement Concrete is a type of concrete that contains a systematic arrangement of steel reinforcement bars or mesh to provide high tensile strength to the concrete. We know that, concrete is strong in compressive strength and weak in flextural or tensile strength, the combination of concrete and systematic arrangement of steel provides high compressive and flextural-strength in the structure.
Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC)
RCC is the combination of concrete and symmetrically arrangement of steel bars or wire mesh which supports structure in tensile strength and flextural strength.
What are the Properties of RCC?
The properties of RCC structure is given below:
- High Compressive Strength
- Durability
- Tensile Strength
- Ductility
- Fire Resistance
- Sound Insulation
- Thermal Insulation etc.
Applications of RCC
RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) is a versatile construction material that is used in a variety of applications. Here are some of the common applications of RCC:
- Building Foundations
- Beams and Columns
- Walls and Slabs
- Bridges
- Retaining Walls
- Water Tanks and Reservoirs
- Dams and Canals etc.
What is Full Form of RCC?
Full form of RCC is Reinforced Cement Concrete.
