Cement concrete is strong in compressive strength but weak in tensile strength.
Full form of rcc roof.
Forming for the roof begins with post or scaffold type shoring erected to support wood joists and stringers like those used in conventional sus pended slab construction.
Rcc full form in civil engineering is reinforced cement concrete.
Plain cement concrete is mixture of sand cement and aggregate and reinforced cement concrete rcc is mixture of sand cement and aggregate including steel.
And we know concrete is two types plain cement concrete and reinforced cement concrete rcc.
And what is properties and uses of rcc in civil engineering.
A cage of reinforcements is prepared as per the design requirements kept in the form work and then green concrete is poured.
After the concrete hardens the form work is removed.
Workers place the form sheathing 4x8 foot sheets of polyisocyanurate insulation.
Roof construction the sloping roofs are suitable for homes having masonry or concrete walls.
And in this topic we try to understand why steel is used in concrete.
Concrete is good in resisting compression but is very weak in resisting tension.
Raw materials for rcc slab roof.
On the other hand steel has high tensile strength and the bond between steel and concrete is good.
These steel bars are plain in surface or round sections diameter from 6 to 50 mm.
To increase the tensile strength mild steel bars are used in cement concrete thereby reinforcing it.
