What Is Rccs? What Is Its Lifespan?
Answers
Answer:
RCCS stands for rotary cell culture system. It is a device designed to grow three-dimensional cell clusters in microgravity. This device was developed by NASA to study the cell tissues of mammals—including humans—in microgravity. Tissues grown in the RCCS are larger and three-dimensional, with structural and chemical characteristics similar to normal tissue. RCCS has no moving parts, thus cells are less prone to damage and hence provides longer life span.
Answer:
The generally accepted life span of an RCC structure is 40 to 50 years. The structure can be designed for upto 100 years by incorporating durability requirements in the structural design. These would include enhanced cover and additionally reducing steel stress and limiting quantity of steel besides richer concreting.
