Concrete is one of the most important construction materials in the world in order to construct roads, bridges, buildings, and other structures. Concrete products, in general, have very high compressive strength, but it is low in tensile strength. Reinforced concrete products are used in a variety of places today.
Reinforced cement concrete combines ordinary concrete with reinforcement to increase its compressive and tensile strength to a great extent. It is used from foundations to the rooftops of buildings, construction of highways, roads, traffic, hydro-power tunnels, irrigation canals, drains, and all other conceivable structures.
Reinforced concrete cement has produced a fine line of products that:
- Serve the purpose of bearing tensile strength.
- Bear the main compressive forces, both acting in unison.
Reinforcements in concrete products infuse durable steel of different kinds that provide the required shape and volume.
There are various advantages of using RCC products as compared to concrete products:
- The structures made from RCC products are very durable comparatively.
- It has a higher compressive strength after the infusion with steel.
- They provide higher tensile strength.
- It is resistant to fire and other climate changes that act as protection.
- Available almost anywhere in the world.
- Too much expertise is not required.
- Easily moulded in any form and shape.
- Easy to use in any part of the structure: from the foundation to the top roofing.
- Repairing cost is almost nil.
- It is more economical compared to other materials.
With the constant advancement in technology and innovation – there is a search for building the sturdiest structures most effectively while keeping the economics behind them in mind. RCC products have gained the upper hand and have been the most reliable source for construction, casting, and building purposes.
