What is RCC?
Rcc means reinforced concrete structures
 It is a cement concrete
reinforced with steel bars, steel
plates, steel mesh, etc to
increase tension withstanding
capacity of the stricture.
 The above picture is an Villa
Saitan—a housing complex in
Japan, one of the example of
RCC structures
Components of RCC structures:
Slabs
Beams
Columns
Footing
Staircase
foundation
slab
One way slab
Two way slab
beam
Simply supported beam
Fixed beam
Cantilever beam
Continuous beam
Overhanging beam
column
Based on type of reinforcement
Tied
Spiral
Composite

Based on type of loading

Axially loading
Eccentrically loading

Based on type of slenderness ratio

Short
Long

Based on type of foundation

Shallow
deep
Footing

Simple
stepped
Sloped
Combined
Staircase
Straight
Dog legged
Open
Geometrical
Circular
