Reinforced
cement concrete
Concrete is mostly used construction materials across the
global construction industry. Concrete is a composite material combined with
cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate.
Plain cement concrete is reinforced with
reinforcement materials like steel, timber or any other materials is known as
RCC (Reinforced cement concrete). We know the concrete is strong in compression
and weak in tension. So the enhancement of tensile strength we add high tensile
strength steel reinforcement in concrete.
Commonly in construction the steel
reinforcement is used because of two main reasons that is cheap rate
(economical) compare to other material and co-efficient of thermal expansion
for concrete and steel is more or less equal
(7.2 x 10-6).
Advantages of RCC
- It has high strength to with stand all structural
loads and live loads
- It is very economical construction material compare
to other construction materials like glass or steel
- RCC has good durability characteristics and serve
for long years
- RCC has good fire resistance so we can avoid huge
accident during fire accident in the building
- Good RCC has Seismic Resistance also it is safe at
low magnitude earthquake
- Ease of Construction
- Ability to Consume and Recycle Waste, we can add
certain percentage of recyclable materials or waste materials into the concrete
with replacement of coarse or fine aggregate.
- Buildings
- Bridges and Flyovers
- Water Tanks
- Roads pavements
- Floating Structures
- Foundations
- Marine Structures
- Pipes and Conduits
- Precast concrete elements
- Chimneys and Towers
- Retaining Walls
- Bunkers and Silos
