Plain cement concrete is hardened mass obtained from mixture of cement, sand, gravel and water in definit
proportion.
Plain cement is good compressive strength but have very little tensile strength, thus limiting its use in construction
work.
To improve the tensile strength of concrete reinforcement bar are embedded which takes the tensile stresses
developed in structures.
Reinforcement cement concrete is the composit mixture of cement concrete and steel reinforcement.
Steel reinforcement (plain bar Fe250 and HYSD bar Fe415/Fe500 ) are used for increasing tensile strength.
Development length
It is the minimum length of bar which must be embaded in concrete beyoud any section so that no slippage takes place.
It is denoted by Ld
