Introduction of RCC ( Reinforced Cement Concrete)

• Concrete is a versatile material which is widely used for the construction of structures. RCC full form is Reinforced cement concrete.
• RCC meaning in civil engineering is a composite material which consists of steel and concrete ( which is a mixture of cement sand and aggregate) and known as reinforced cement concrete.
• In this article, you will get to know all about RCC Construction and Advantages and Disadvantages of Reinforced cement concrete.

What Is RCC?

Materials Which Are Used in the RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete):

• Cement
• Aggregates
• Admixtures
• Steel
• Water

1. Cement:

2. Aggregates:

3. Admixtures:

4. Steel:

5. Water:

Advantages of Reinforced Cement Concrete:

1. RCC has high compressive strength.
2. It has long period of life and required low maintenance cost.
3. Reinforced cement concrete has better resistance to fire as compared to Steel.
4. RCC Structures are more durable as compared to other types of Structures.
5. RCC sections can be cast into different shapes and sizes.
6. RCC is a cheaper construction Material as compared to steel and Prestressed concrete.
7. The Construction of reinforced cement concrete required less-skilled labour as compared to Construction of steel structures.

Disadvantages of Reinforced Cement Concrete:

1. The Reinforced cement concrete required proper mixing, casting of the concrete.
2. The cost required for formwork is high.
3. Reinforced cement concrete structures are heavier than structures which are made from steel and wood.
4. The structures which are made from rain for cement concrete take some time to attain its full strength.
5. The tensile strength of the reinforced cement concrete is about one-tenth of its compressive strength.

Properties of RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete):

1. Reinforced cement concrete should not show excessive deflection.
2. Reinforced cement concrete is capable of resisting tensile as well as compressive bending and shear forces.
3. The reinforced cement concrete is more durable as compared to other types of construction material.
4. Reinforced cement concrete structures are designed to take high compressive loads.
5. Reinforced cement concrete is a good fire-resistant material.
6. It provides complete insulation against heat and sound.
7. Reinforced cement concrete can be moulded into any desired shape as per your requirement.

RCC Building:

• It is the building which is constructed with the reinforced cement concrete. The RCC building is a structural building which is constructed with the reinforced cement concrete.
• The main reason for reinforcing concrete with Steel is to enhance its strength. The steel and concrete have nearly the same values of coefficient of thermal expansion which allows the steel and concrete in the structural members to act as a whole.

What Does RCC Stands for?

• RCC stands for Reinforced Cement Concrete. The full form of RCC is reinforced cement concrete which contains steel bars.
• RCC has widely used in the construction of various structures and buildings components such as footing beams columns and slabs etc.
