R.C.C Structures

Roof slab, beam, column, lintels with sunshade, staircase are some of the RCC structures in building construction. These structures give a frame to the whole building. A framed structure consists of a series of frames , formed of columns or pillars or stanchions which are connected by means of beams at floor and roof levels. Walls are constructed within these frames. These walls are known as panel walls. The loads of the floors, roofs and panel walls are supported by the beams which, in turn, transmit the loads to the columns and these, in turn, carry the whole weight of the structure to the foundations. As the strength and stability of framed structure is important, each individual structure should be designed and constructed with good quality material and with due considerations.
