Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC)
Reinforced cement concrete (R.C.C) is the combination of ordinary concrete with the reinforcement to increase its compressive and tensile strength to a great extent.Concrete is a versatile material for modern construction which is prepared by mixing well-proportioned quantities of cement (even lime in some cases), sand, crushed rock or gravel, and water.
It has been used from foundations to the
rooftops of buildings, in the construction of highways roads traffic, and
hydro-power tunnels, irrigation canals, drains, and all other conceivable
structures.
Advantages of Reinforced Concrete (RCC).
(i) Structures made from Reinforced Concrete are durable.
(ii) It has a high compressive strength (due
to concrete).
(iii) It has a high tensile strength (due to
reinforcement).
(iv) It is resistant to fire and other
climate changes.
(v) Easily available almost anywhere in the
world.
(vi) Too much expertise is not required for
working on it, normal skilled labor can also do it.
(vii) It can be molded in any form, shape.
(viii) It can be used in any part of the
structure i.e., from foundation to the top roofing.
(ix) Repairing cost is almost nil.
(x) It is more economical compared to other
materials.
