What is the material used for reinforcement in RCC?

In RCC buildings steel is used as a reinforcing material to increase the strength of concrete.

What are the material used in RCC?

Following four materials are required for making R.C.C.: 1. Cement 2. Aggregates 3. Steel 4.

Can we use bamboo instead of steel in RCC?

Instead of using steel in the ceiling slab bamboo can be used for RCC. Horizontal and perpendicular, bamboo proved to be effective in sustaining weight. The Karnataka State Science and Technology Committee has recognised this as the best invention of the year and students have applied for patent.

What is the purpose of providing reinforcement in concrete?

Reinforcement for concrete is provided by embedding deformed steel bars or welded wire fabric within freshly made concrete at the time of casting. The purpose of reinforcement is to provide additional strength for concrete where it is needed.

How do you replace reinforcement?

Procedure for Repair Reinforcements

1. Remove Concrete Around Steel Bars.
2. Clean and Inspect Reinforcement.
3. Mild Reinforcement or Prestressed Strand Repair.
4. 3.1 Repair Mild Reinforcements.
5. 3.2 Repair Prestressing Steel.

Why concrete is used in RCC?

Advantages of Reinforced Cement Concrete Structures made from reinforced concrete are stable and durable. It possesses high compressive and high tensile strengths. It is economical, and the maintenance cost is almost ignorable. R.C.C has the least chances of buckling and rusting.

What is an alternative to steel?

Plastic, aluminium, wood and bamboo have been replacing steel in various application areas.

Which is stronger bamboo or steel?

Despite its lowly reputation, bamboo may be the strongest stuff on the planet. It has greater tensile strength (or resistance to being pulled apart) than steel, and it withstands compression better than concrete. The Western mind is also opening to bamboo’s environmental qualities.
