RCC & STRUCTURAL STEEL BECAME THE CHOICE 20TH CENTURY BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
THAT CONTINUES TILL DATE. DISCUSS LATEST BIS STANDARDS AND TESTING PROCEDURES
FOR CONCRETE, REINFORCING STEEL AND STRUCTURAL STEEL FOR CONSTRUCTION
PROJECTS
HISTORY OF RCC & STRUCTURAL STEEL

▪ The development of construction methods in iron and steel was the most important
innovation in architecture since ancient times. These methods provide far stronger
and taller structures with less expenditure of material than stone, brick, or wood
and can produce greater unsupported spans over openings and interior or exterior
spaces. The evolution of steel frame construction in the 20th century entirely
changed the concept of the wall and the support.
▪ Cast iron, the first metal that could be substituted for traditional structural
materials, was used in bridge building as early as 1779. Its ability to bear loads and
to be produced in an endless variety of forms, in addition to its resistance to fire
and corrosion, quickly encouraged architectural adaptations, first as columns and
arches and afterward in skeletal structures.
▪ Replaced in the late 19th century by steel, which is more uniformly strong, elastic,
and workable, and its high resistance in all stresses can be closely calculated.
HISTORY OF RCC & STRUCTURAL STEEL

► Because it can be poured into forms while liquid to produce a great variety of
structural elements, it provides an economical substitute for traditional
materials, and it has the advantages of continuity (absence of joints) and of
fusing with other materials.
► Concrete was employed in ancient Egypt and was highly developed by the
ancient Romans, whose concrete made with volcanic-ash cement (pozzolana)
permitted a great expansion of architectural methods, particularly the
development of domes and vaults to cover large areas, of foundations, and of
structures such as bridges and sewerage systems.
► Concrete had only a limited importance for architecture until the invention of
reinforced concrete in the 1860s.
