What is RCC framed structure?

Recently I had some renovation done at my place, and my brother recommended NoBrokers services for it. I hired them and their engineer explained they were making RCC frame structure building for the extension. I wasn’t too sure what that meant at first, so I asked him what is RCC frame structure. He said it is a construction technique that builds a framework out of reinforced concrete (RCC). I also kept an eye on the process to understand it better. 

What is RCC Frame Structure Building?

I came to learn that, basically; it involves using concrete and steel bars to create a solid framework for the building. The experts also informed me of the pros and cons of using the RCC frame structure. I am not mentioning it here, as Mayank already listed it out. 

• The workers first set up the steel rods, which act like the skeleton of the structure, and then they poured the concrete around it. It was interesting because the expert told me this method gives the building extra strength. It will also make my house more resistant to things like heavy loads or even earthquakes. 

• The professional handling my project said that the meaning of RCC framed structure is that it ensures stability and durability for the entire building.

What I found cool was how quickly the process moved once the frame was in place. The rest of the construction went up smoothly. Now I understand why many modern buildings use the RCC method. This is because it makes everything so much more reliable in the long run. I hope by now you understand the building RCC framed structure meaning.

Hi there, Piyush. I came across your question regarding what the RCC framed structure means. Being from the construction line of work, I guess I can help you with this. 

What does RCC Frame Structure Means?

The RCC or the Reinforced Concrete frame structure is a structure made up of a skeleton of reinforced concrete. This structure is a framework of vertical elements, columns and horizontal elements, beams. The flat elements comprise of the slabs, which make up the floor and the sections where we walk. 

The RCC frame structure is made of a combination of steel reinforced bars and concrete, known as rebars. The steel bars are tensile, ductile and elongated, which help in giving the needed strength to the framework and reinforce it against harm to structural integrity and wear and tear.

So, this is all I have to share with you regarding the RCC frame structure building. I hope you find this information helpful.

I understand that not every layman can understand

what is RCC frame structure. It is not a common term that we use everyday. But if you are building a house or buying a house for yourself or your family then I think you should have an understanding of RCC frame structure. Don't worry I will try to explain to you about it in very simple words.

What is RCC structure?

RCC frame structure is a structure in which the load is said from a slab to the beam and then the load continues to be shared to the columns. It is like a load sharing structure in which the load is getting shared from the slab to beam to columns to lower columns and to further the foundation of the structure which then shares the load with the soil. After this frame is constructed the walls are there with on this structure. Most of the tall buildings use the RCC frame structure Technology.

Now that you know RCC structure meaning, let me tell you the advantages and disadvantages of both.

Advantages of RCC house construction

• RCC framed structure is good in compression in comparison to other construction materials

• They can resist fire for a long time

• There is a low maintenance cost and better service life

Disadvantages of RCC house construction

• While preparing the mixture for RCC frame structure, one has to be careful with mixing, casting and curing of the material to maintain the final strength

• It is priced on a higher end

• Repairs and maintenance are difficult and priced high
