What Is Reinforced Cement Concrete ( R.C.C )?

Reinforced Cement Concrete ( R.C.C ) :-

Cement Concrete is quite good  in compressive strength but is very weak in tensile strength. so the use of plain cement concrete is restricted. In most of the cases, the members of a structure are subjected to bending    , shear and torsion stresses. Though the tensile strength of cement concrete is very low, yet it has been found that the use of cement concrete is possible in the construction of members which are subjected to high tensile strength. For ths purpose steel bars or steel reinforcement are put in the tensile zone of the member and then the concreting is done. the material thus obtained is called Reinforced Cement Concrete Or RCC, So in other words, R.C.C is the combination of cement concrete and steel bars.
