In building construction field there are some similar abbreviations which are so confusing when you listen first time, but they all are very important.
What is Full Form of RCC, PCC, PPC, OPC, PSC, PQC, AAC in Building Construction?
The full form of RCC is Reinforced Cement Concrete, RCC is the type of concrete which is consist of cement, aggregates, water (and admixture sometime) in a given proportion, reinforced with steel bars or steel mesh to enhance the strength and durability of the concrete structure. Here we have explained other abbreviations below.
What is Full Form of RCC?
The full form of RCC is "Reinforce Cement Concrete" and it is a mixture of cement, aggregates, water (and admixture sometime) in a given proportion, reinforced with steel bares or steel mesh to enhance the strength and durability of the concrete structure. Density of RCC is considered as 2500 kg/m³.
What is Full Form of PCC?
The full form of PCC is "Plain Cement Concrete" and it is the mixture of cement, aggregates and water in a given ratio. The main difference of RCC and PCC is the RCC structure consist of reinforcement bars but PCC structure does not consist of reinforcement bars.
What is Full Form of PPC Cement?
The full form of PPC is "Portland Pozzolana Cement" which is a type of cement made with Portland cement and pozzolanic materials, such as fly-ash which is a byproduct of coal combustion. The use of pozzolanic materials in Portland Cement leads to enhance the durability and strength of PPC cement.
What is Full Form of OPC Cement?
The full form of OPC is "Ordinary Portland Cement" which is a basic cement having grades as OPC 33 Grade, OPC 43 Grade, OPC 53 Grade, its basic components are Portland clinker, gypsum, and pozzolanic or granulated materials. PPC is the modified form of OPC Cement.
What is Full Form of PSC Cement?
The full form of PSC is "Portland Slag Cement" and it is consist of Portland cement clinker, gypsum, and granulated blast furnace slag. The addition of blast furnace slag enhances the properties of the cement, such as its strength, durability, and resistance to certain types of aggressive substances. PSC cement improves long-term strength and durability of the structure, where slag is a byproduct of the iron and steel industry, it contributes to the cement's properties and also helps in reducing the environmental impact associated with cement production.
What is Full Form of PQC?
PQC stands for "Pavement Quality Concrete" or "Pavement Quality Concrete Roads" It is a type of concrete used for rigid pavements, as opposed to flexible pavements in highways and major roads. PQC is known for its durability, strength and load-bearing capacity to withstand heavy traffic loads with smooth and durable surface for vehicular movement.
What is Full Form of AAC?
AAC stands for "Autoclaved Aerated Concrete" and it is a type of brick which is known for its low density, excellent thermal insulation properties, and structural strength. It contains millions of small air pores inside, making it lighter and more thermal-insulating than traditional concrete.
