Which is better RCC or PCC?
PCC cannot withstand tensile stress. RCC is used in most of civil work and main frames which will withstand all stress and heavy loads. But if you compare it in terms of money then PCC is much cheaper then RCC and PCC needs no formwork or temporary work so it is much cheaper as compared to RCC.
What is RCC stand for?
Reinforced Cement Concrete
Why PCC is laid?
The main reason of providing PCC is to provide a rigid impervious bed to RCC in the foundation before starting any RCC or masonry work directly on the excavated soil, PCC is done to form a leveled surface and to avoid laying concrete on soil directly so as to avoid mixing with soil and also to prevent soil extracting …
What is IPS in construction?
IPS flooring stands for Indian patent stone flooring, it is a basic type of flooring which provides good wearing properties. It is generally used for all types of floors and mix of concrete used for IPS flooring specification is 1:1.5:3 (cement, sand and stone aggregates).
What is the grade of PCC?
The Grade of the PCC used is M15 grade. IN M15 Grade, The mix ratio is 1:2:4. (1 cement,2 sand , 4 aggregates). Applications: M15 grade plain concrete cement is used for levelling courses,bedding for footing, beams and columns e.tc.
Which grade is best for PCC?
1. Normal Grade of Concrete. Generally, M5, M10, M15 grades of concrete are used for PCC (plane cement concrete) work like leveling course, for bed footing etc.
What is M25 RCC?
Regarding this, “what does M25 mean?”, M25 means grade of concrete in which M stands for mix of concrete and numerical figure 25 stands for compressive strength of concrete cube such as 25 MPa (N/mm2) after 28 days of curing. Precise design of the concrete grade mix makes concrete construction more economical.
Which grade of concrete is used for PCC?
Concrete mix ratio M15 (1:2:4) :- it is also ordinary grade of concrete used for PCC work and flooring of surface not used for RCC work, nominal mix ratio in m15 grade of concrete is about 1:2:4 in which one part is cement 2 part is sand and 4 part is aggregate.
What is the minimum grade of RCC?
The minimum grade of concrete used for RCC is M20, with ratio 1:1.5:3 means 1 part of cement, 1.5 part of fine aggregate (sand) and 3 part of coarse aggregate.
What is the best grade of concrete?
Different types of concrete grades and their uses
| Concrete Grade | Mix Ratio (cement : sand : aggregates) | Compressive Strength |
|---|---|---|
| M7.5 | 1 : 4 : 8 | 7.5 MPa |
| M10 | 1 : 3 : 6 | 10 MPa |
| M15 | 1 : 2 : 4 | 15 MPa |
| M20 | 1 : 1.5 : 3 | 20 MPa |
