Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC)|Definition|Advantages

20 June 2023 Vinod Gopinath Civil engineering, Reinforced Cement Concrete

Reinforced Cement Concrete or RCC is a versatile and widely used construction material. RCC combines concrete’s compressive strength with steel reinforcement’s tensile strength. It forms by mixing cement, aggregates, water, and steel reinforcement bars to create a composite material. RCC is known for its excellent structural performance, durability, fire resistance, and other environmental factors.

Tensile structure -Tension in structures

16 May 2023 Vinod Gopinath Civil engineering

Tensile structures or Tension in structures refers to the internal force created within a structure due to an applied load that tends to pull or stretch the structural members apart. When a force is applied in tension to a structure, the structural elements experience a stretching effect, which creates tensile stress within the material. This stress can cause the material to deform, and if the tension becomes too great, it can cause the material to fail or break.
