Reinforced concrete construction - TEKKIN CONCRETE ZOUKENCHIKU

Japanese: 鉄筋コンクリート造建築 - てっきんコンクリートぞうけんちく
Reinforced concrete construction - TEKKIN CONCRETE ZOUKENCHIKU
A structure whose main framework is made of reinforced concrete is called reinforced concrete construction, and a building made of reinforced concrete is called a reinforced concrete building. It is also called RC building.
[history]
Concrete had been used as a building material in ancient Rome and other places, but it was not until the mid-19th century that reinforced concrete began to be used in construction. J. Monnier of France, who received patents for reinforced concrete flower pots and railway sleepers, constructed a prototype of an earthquake-resistant house made of reinforced concrete in 1880.
