Can you explain the components of an RCC structure?
Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) structures are made up of a few key components:
Concrete: This is the main material, created by mixing cement, sand, gravel, water, and sometimes special additives to enhance its properties.
Reinforcement: Steel bars or mesh are added to give the concrete extra strength, especially for handling tension, which concrete alone can’t manage well.
Foundations: These are the bases that support the entire structure, designed to distribute weight into the ground. They can be shallow or deep, depending on the building’s needs.
Slabs, Beams, and Columns: Slabs are flat surfaces, beams support loads across spaces, and columns are vertical supports that transfer weight down to the foundation.
What is the difference between under-reinforcement and over-reinforcement sections?
What is reservoir capacity and how is it determined?
What is chain surveying?
How are canal systems classified based on their function?
What are common causes of weir failure?
How does sediment accumulation affect the performance of headworks?
What is the purpose of a barrage in irrigation systems?
What is flood routing and why is it important?
