it is used in construction of massive gravity dam, heavy foundation, prefabricated concrete units
Reinforced concrete has steel bars embedded in it. It is also called re-barred concrete.
A plain concrete with a large ratio aggregate to cement than structural concrete. It is used for filling and not structural duties

RCC is Reinforced Cement Concrete. PCC is Plain Cement Concrete. The main difference is that PCC has no reinforcement in it.
Aggregate, Ordinary Portland Cement, sand, water
For plain cement concrete, the aggregate used is of size 20 mm. For RCC structures, it is 40mm and for roads, it is 80mm
The different types of concrete used for driveways include plain concrete, stamped concrete, exposed aggregate concrete, and colored concrete. Each type offers unique aesthetic and functional benefits for driveways.
PCC in construction refers to Plain Cement Concrete, which is used as a preparatory base for laying RCC footing. Though PCC is also concrete, this is lean in nature, the ratio being 1:4:8. The compressive strength achieved with this mix is normally 7.5kN/sq.mm.

The Romans are credited for using concrete first.
The main disadvantage of compacting concrete using a cement vibrator is the noise. The advantages of compacting concrete using a cement vibrator is to remove trapped air and excess water which then allows the concrete settle firmly.
