RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete)
RCC stands for Reinforced Cement Concrete — concrete that contains steel reinforcement (TMT bars) embedded to carry tensile forces that plain concrete cannot handle.
Explained Simply
Concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension. Steel is strong in tension. By combining both — embedding steel bars in concrete — engineers create a composite material (RCC) that handles both compression and tension effectively. All structural elements in a modern home — footings, columns, beams, slabs — are made of RCC.

The quality of RCC work — concrete grade, steel grade, rebar placement, concrete cover, and curing — determines the structural life and safety of your building.
Allowing contractors to use nominal mix concrete (1:1.5:3 by volume) instead of design mix concrete for structural elements. Design mix is more reliable and should be specified in the BOQ.
