PCC, RCC, RBC, DPC, and RMC is a types of concrete mixtures in civil engineering. they all have different benefits and different properties according to their use in construction.in this article we will discuss the full form, uses in construction and properties of PCC, RCC, RBC, DPC and RMC.

PCC- PLAIN CEMENT CONCRETE

Plain Cement Concrete (PCC) is a composition of sand, crushed stones, cement, and water. There is no use of steel in Plain Cement Concrete. It is used at the ground level of every structure where there is a probability of water seepage and damage to the structure due to water and rust.

RCC- REINFORCED CEMENT CONCRETE

RCC, which we also know as Reinforced Cement Concrete, is basically a mixture of cement, sand, crushed stones, and water, with steel also included. It is used in slabs, rafts, and walls to handle heavy loads.

RBC- REINFORCED BRICK CONCRETE

RBC, or Reinforced Brick Concrete, is a combination of steel, stones, sand, and cement. This concrete mixture is used in brick construction as a filler material, which doesn’t helps in strengthening the structure.

DPC- DAMP PROOF COURSE

Damp Proof Course (DPC) is made from a mixture of cement, sand, and water. It is used in areas where there is a high likelihood of structural dampness and damage due to water flow. DPC is applied both horizontally and vertically to prevent water seepage from the ground, protecting the structure from damage.

RMC- READY MIX CONCRETE

This is a mixture of concrete used in construction. This concrete is already mixed in a batching plant and manufacturing factory according to the suitable proportions, and then it is delivered to the construction site.

conclusion

In conclusion, in this article, we will discuss the full forms and uses of PCC, RCC, RBC, DPC, and RMC in construction. This will help in increasing your knowledge in the field of civil engineering.
