Q: A composite material made up of cement concrete and reinforcement in which the concrete resists compression with reinforcement resisting the tension and shear is called:
  • A. Prestressed concrete
  • B. Reinforced cement concrete
  • C. Fibre reinforced concrete
  • D. Polymer concrete
Correct Answer: Option B - Reinforced cement concrete– RCC is a composite material made up of cement concrete and reinforcement in which the concrete resist compression with reinforcement resisting the tension and shear. It is most versatile building material available and is extensively used in the construction industry ranging from small structural elements such as beams and columns to massive structures like dams and bridges.
