Function of reinforcement  in Reinforced cement concrete (R.C.C.)5

Function of R.C.C.

1. To resist  the bending moment in flexural member like slabs, beams  etc.
2. To resist diagonal tension due to shear.
3. To increase the load carrying capacity of compression members  like columns.
4. To reduce the shrinkage of concrete.
5. To resist the effect of  secondary stress like temperature etc.
6. To resist spiral cracking due to torsion.
