RCC contains steel bars. RCC stands for reinforced cement concrete. Concrete can easily be made at the construction site. concrete is also very strong in compression and steel is very strong in tension.
Making the Process of Reinforced Concrete
- Users first have to make a mold. The mold is called formwork. Formwork contains liquid concrete which gives the required shape.
- After that, according to the structural engineer's drawings, users have to place it in the steel reinforcement bars. Users should tie them with the wire. The tied steel is called a reinforcement cage because of its shape.
- After placing the steel now users have to mix the cement, sand, stone chips in and water in a cement mixer for preparing the concrete.
- After that users have to pour it into the formwork to the required level. Concrete takes nearly one month to gain full strength. In meanwhile users have to supply water on the surface for curing.
