Advantages of RCC

                             Advantages of RCC

RCC has following advantages:

1. Strength : RCC has very good strength in tension as well as compression.

2. Durability : RCC Structures are durable if designed and laid properly. They can last up to 100 years.

3. Mouldability :  RCC Sections can be given any shape easily by properly designing the formwork. Thus, it is more suitable for architectural requirements.

4. Ductility : The steel reinforcement imparts ductility to RCC Structures.

5. Economy : RCC is cheaper as compared to steel & prestressed concrete.There is an overall economy by using RCC because its maintenance cost is low.

6. Fire Resistance : RCC Structures are more fire resistant than other commonly used construction materials like steel & wood.

7. Permeability : RCC is almost impermeable to moisture.

8. Seismic Resistance : Properly designed RCC Structures are extremely resistant to earthquakes.

Comparison between Water Carriage method and Conservancy system

Image
    The water carriage method and the conservancy system are two different ways of managing sewage and waste water. The water carriage method involves the use of a network of pipes and pumps to transport sewage and waste water to a treatment plant where it is processed and then released into the environment. This is the most common method used in modern cities and towns. The conservancy system, on the other hand, relies on the use of privies, pit latrines, and septic tanks to collect and treat sewage and waste water. This method is typically used in rural areas where a centralized sewage treatment system is not feasible. Both methods have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. The water carriage method is more efficient and effective in treating and disposing of sewage and waste water, but it is also more expensive to install and maintain. The conservancy system is less expensive, but it can lead to environmental pollution if not properly maintained.   ...

Advantages of Steel as Structural Material

              Advantages of Steel as Structural Material 1.  Steel members have high strength per unit weight. A steel member of small section which has little weight can withstand heavy loads. 2. Being light, steel member can be conveniently handled. 3. The properties of steel mostly do not change with time, which makes steel most suitable material for a structure. 4. Properly maintained steel structure has long life. 5. Steel structure can be erected at a faster rate. 6. Steel being ductile material, does not fail suddenly. 7. Steel has higher scrap value amongst all building materials.
