what is lifespan of an RCC structure?
Why the RCC structures failing in quater of its life span?

Answer Posted / arun verma

When the RCC was developed in the early mid twentieth
century, the quality of each input was taken into account
based of the cost of inputs and the quality of our
integrity at that time.

With passage of time the quality of inputs have gone down,
One because of poor integrity of each of us contributing
into it be it the material manufacturer or the worker at
the workmanship stage.

and

Two because the cost of each thing be it labour or
material, has gone up substantially, compelling the
manufacturers and material suppliers to supply material at
competent rates, thereby prompting them to compromise in
quality.
Also while the factor of safety taken into account at time
was 3 X 3 times with plain mild steel, now with torsteel it
has been brought down presuming that the structures are
never stressed to that extent.

I believe, if we we are able to correct our mentality and
if the buyer agrees to pay the hike in the cost towards
improving the material quality and the workmanship, the
life will be atleast 80% of the stipulated life of 100
years.
