🏗️ Civil Engineering Quiz | RCC Concrete Density
Do you know the standard density of Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC)? 🤔
A commonly used value for normal RCC is approximately 2,400 kg/m³. However, the actual density can vary depending on the concrete mix, aggregate type, and reinforcement content.
📌 Quiz Question:
What is the density of RCC Concrete?
A) 2,000 kg/m³
B) 2,400 kg/m³ ✅
C) 2,550 kg/m³
D) 2,800 kg/m³
This simple value is important for quantity estimation, structural design, load calculations, BOQ preparation, and cost estimation.
If you're a Civil Engineer, Quantity Surveyor, Site Engineer, Estimator, or Construction Professional, save this post for future reference.
