  Advantage and disadvantage of RCC Advantage 1) Strength :- Rcc has very good strength in tension as well as compression. 2) Durability :- Rcc structures are durable if designed and laid properly. They can last upto 100 years. 3) Mouldability :- Rcc section can be given in any shape easily by properly designing the framework.  4) Ductility :- The steel reinforcement imparts ductility to the rcc structures. 5) economy :- Rcc is cheaper as compared to steel as prestressed concrete. 6) Transporation: - the raw materials which are required for rcc i.e. cement ,sand, aggregate, water, and steel are easily availableand can transported easily. Now a days Raidy mix concrete is used, 7) Fire resistance :- Rcc structures are more fire resistant than other commonly used construction materials like steel and wood. 8) Permeability :- Rcc is almost impermeable to moisture. 9) seismic resistance :- Properly designed Rcc structures are extremely resistant to earthquakes. Disadvantages 1) ...

  What is glass reinforced Concrete? Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) — also known as Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) — is a composite material made of: ·         Cement (Portland) ·         Fine aggregates ·         Water ·         Admixtures ·         Alkali-resistant glass fibers 🔹 Key Features: 1.      High Strength-to-Weight Ratio – Lighter than traditional concrete. 2.      Excellent Tensile Strength – Due to the glass fibers. 3.      Durable & Weather Resistant – Good for exterior elements. 4.      Highly Moldable – Can be cast into complex shapes. 5.      Non-combustible & Fire-resistant – Makes it ideal for architectural cladding. 🔹 Common Applications...
