PCC( Blinding Concrete) or CONCRETE COVER. PCC(Plain Cement Concrete) has been widely accepted by the stakeholders as concrete casted directly on the face of excavated soil to provide levelled surfaces for the arrangement of reinforcement or block work, so it is regarded as not contributing to the structural strength of the structure. Most cases the mixing ratio is either 1:3:6 or 1:4:8 or less. WHILE the purpose of concrete cover is to protect the reinforcement from corrosion, fire and other potential damage while contributing to the structural strength of the structure. Most cases on site people tend to neglect the use of concrete cover at the bottom of structural components making the PCC to be the cover to rebars, having different strength based on the difference in their mixes. if this is what happen in construction, what do you think will be problem and what is the solution it? share in your comment. #civilengineering #civilengineer #construction #civilwork #engcivil #engineering #engineeringproblems #constructionsite
