Structural Contrete
The novel shape of the Philips Pavilion in Brussels was allowed by reinforced concrete.
Reinforced concrete (RC) (also called reinforced cement concrete or RCC) is a composite material in which concrete’s relatively low tensile strength and ductility are counteracted by the inclusion of reinforcement having higher tensile strength or ductility. The reinforcement is usually, though not necessarily, steel reinforcing bars (rebar) and is usually embedded passively in the concrete before the concrete sets. Reinforcing schemes are generally designed to resist tensile stresses in particular regions of the concrete that might cause unacceptable cracking and/or structural failure. Modern reinforced concrete can contain varied reinforcing materials made of steel, polymers or alternate composite material in conjunction with rebar or not. Reinforced concrete may also be permanently stressed (concrete in compression, reinforcement in tension), so as to improve the behavior of the final structure under working loads.
Coordination Process
During the construction of any project, the coordination of the trades is an integral part of the process, especially with respect to the mechanical and electrical trades.

Structural Concrete Steps
Many different types of structures and components of structures can be built using reinforced concrete including slabs, beams, columns, foundations, frames and more.
Reinforced concrete can be classified as precast or cast-in-place concrete.
Designing and implementing the most efficient floor system is key to creating optimal building structures. Small changes in the design of a floor system can have significant impact on material costs, construction schedule, ultimate strength, operating costs, occupancy levels and end use of a building.
Without reinforcement, constructing modern structures with concrete material would not be possible.
Shop Drawings and Submittals
RFI and Submittal of all material specs must be approved by Architect in order to proceed to the grading, compacting, placement of rebar and poor.
Cost Reporting
Any change in specs or plan as a result of RFI and Submittals can affect schedule and cost of the project. All change must be approved by owner in order to proceed.
Inspections
Inspection by local authorities must be passed in order to proceed with all phase of the project to comply with state and local code.
