Concrete is a mixture of binding material (such as Cement), fine aggregate (such as sand), coarse aggregate (such as gravel), and water. This can be easily molded to desired shape and size before it loses plasticity and hardens. Plain concrete is strong in compression but very weak in tension. The tensile property is introduced in concrete by inducting different materials and this attempt has given rise to RCC.
Reinforced Cement Concrete is basically concrete in which steel bars of desirable magnitude is introduced in the casting stage so that the resulting composite material resists the stresses developed due to the external loads. In flexural members, the steel reinforcement is generally provided near the tension face to resist the tensile stresses since the tensile
