Concrete is good in resisting compression but is very weak in resisting tension.
Full form of rcc roof.
And we know concrete is two types plain cement concrete and reinforced cement concrete rcc.
Cement concrete is strong in compressive strength but weak in tensile strength.
And what is properties and uses of rcc in civil engineering.
After the concrete hardens the form work is removed.
To increase the tensile strength mild steel bars are used in cement concrete thereby reinforcing it.
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.
On the other hand steel has high tensile strength and the bond between steel and concrete is good.
Roof construction the sloping roofs are suitable for homes having masonry or concrete walls.
Shuttering materials such as wooden ballies planks and iron plates etc.
These steel bars are plain in surface or round sections diameter from 6 to 50 mm.
A cage of reinforcements is prepared as per the design requirements kept in the form work and then green concrete is poured.
Workers place the form sheathing 4x8 foot sheets of polyisocyanurate insulation.
And in this topic we try to understand why steel is used in concrete.
The full form of rcc is reinforced cement concrete.
Rcc is a combination of concrete and steel to build a structure instead of using only concrete.
