Reinforced Cement concrete (RCC) has become the most easy and effective construction material of modern times. All most all the residential complexes and individual houses are being constructed with this versatile materials. The beauty of this material lies in two aspects first, the ability of Cement Concrete to takes the desired shape and secondly, the ability of steel reinforcement bars or rebars to resist all kind of forces acting upon a building. Plain Cement Concrete (PCC) without rebars is like a body without bones. Rebars make buildings safe for its residents by tolerating various damaging forces acting on building members e.g. foundations, beams, columns, slabs, etc. These forces are generated because of different loads, the earthquake load etc. which act in different combinations at different times.
