Disadvantages
The tensile strength of reinforced concrete is about one-tenth of its compressive strength.The main steps of using reinforced concrete are mixing, casting, and curing. All of this affects the final strength.The cost of the forms used for casting RC is relatively higher.For multi-storied building the RCC column section for is larger than steel section as the compressive strength is lower in the case of RCC.Shrinkage causes crack development and strength loss.
Advantages
Reinforced concrete has a high compressive strength compared to other building materials.Due to the provided reinforcement, reinforced concrete can also withstand a good amount of tensile stress.Fire and weather resistance of reinforced concrete is fair.The reinforced concrete building system is more durable than any other building system.Reinforced concrete, as a fluid material, in the beginning, can be economically molded into a nearly limitless range of shapes.The maintenance cost of reinforced concrete is very low.In structures like footings, dams, piers etc. reinforced concrete is the most economical construction material.It acts like a rigid member with minimum deflection.
