Difference Between PCC, DPC and RCC in Civil Engineering

 In this article I have described about what is PCC, DPC and RCC in civil engineering. These terms are often used in civil engineering. So, I have given some pointwise explanation with their meaning, function and uses. But you have to read carefully to understand it better for practical life in construction.

The different between pcc, rcc and dpc are given below:-

what is PCC DPC and RCC in civil engineering

What is PCC?

  • It stand for Plain concrete cement.

  • This is the mixture of cement, sand , aggregate and water only.

  • Reinforcement is not provided in concrete while construction.

  • It can not be used for column, beam, slab etc which have to bear load or tensile force.

  • It can bear compressive load only so, it can be used for making floor, retaining wall, road etc.

What is RCC?

  • This is the mixture if cement, sand , aggregate,water as well as steel rods.

  • It can be used for column, beam, slab etc which have to bear load or compressive force or tensile force.

  • It is more safe for structures as compare to the pcc.

What is DPC?

  • It stand for Damp proof concrete.

  • It is same like pcc which is generally provided below the plinth level of the building or structure. It’s depth is about 50mm. It is kept about 1 feet or according to design of structure from ground level.

  • It is not constructed for bearing any load.

  • As it’s name. It’s main reason to provide is to protect wall and floor to get moisturizing.

  • It also prevent from capillary action of the water to the superstructure from the ground.

Types of Foundations / Footings in Building Construction

  Hi guys this is Structures Explained, and in this blog we will be learning about various kinds of footings, used in a building construction. Foundations are a part of Sub structure which are below ground level and transfer all kinds of loads on the structure, to the ground. Various factors play a role in selecting the suitable type of Foundation for the structure such as, type of structure, condition of the soil at the location of construction, other surrounding structures, water table below, property limits and many more depending on site conditions. Once the foundations are laid for a structure, it is very difficult or impossible to repair or inspect it for structural damages. Hence it is very important to select and design appropriate foundations. Foundations are broadly divided in two categories. First is Shallow Foundations and second is Deep Foundations. Shallow Foundations are nearer to the surface where as Deep foundations as the name suggests, are embedded deeper in earth. N

  Survey of civil engineering | What is survey in civil engg | What is the Survey of civil engineering? Surveying is the art of determining the relative position of distinctive features on, above or beneath the surface of the earth by means of measurement of distance, direction, and elevation. The survey of civil engineering is to know the present condition of the surface on the earth and what kinds of activities we should do to get the required condition of the surface. Like, how much cutting and filling will be required to get a smooth surface along 10 kilometers of road. Survey of civil engineering Objective / Importance of surveying The main objective of surveying is the presentation of plans and maps of the areas to show the relative positions of the objectives on the surface of the earth. The science of surveying has been developing since the very initial stage of human civilization as per their requirements. They evolved methods for demarcating their boundaries as soon as they d
