WHAT IS IT MADE OF??

WHAT IS IT?? CEMENT FINE AGGREGATE COARSE AGGREGATE

RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) is a
widely used building material in a variety of
structures.
It is a versatile building material as it can be
easily mixed and compacted to form a variety
of shapes used in the structure
It is a composite building material consisting
WATER ADMIXTURES
of structural concrete reinforced with a
reinforcing material like steel.
It is made up of basic constituents of cement, water, fine aggregate as well as
coarse aggregate/sand.
Additional admixtures are also included during the preparation process. These
admixtures allow for a modification in the properties of the ordinary concrete
and make it useful according to the intended needs of the structure, external
conditions etc.
Once this ready-made mixture of concrete
is ready, after appropriate tests and trials,
it is then poured into the desired moulds
for use in the building structure such as
footings, beams, slabs etc.
A re-bar or reinforcing bar is also built into
these moulds and allow for the completion
of the RCC member.
BUT WHY ADD REINFORCEMENT CONSTITUENTS IN EACH
STEEL TO CONCRETE ?? GRADE OF RCC
REGULAR CONCRETE Grades of concrete are defined by the strength and composition of
High compressive strength the concrete, and the minimum strength the concrete should have
However more prone to bending due to following 28 days of initial construction. The grade of concrete is
poor tensile strength understood in measurements of MPa, where M stands for mix and
Less rigid structure the MPa denotes the overall strength.
