reinforced concrete
A roof-supporting framework made of reinforced concrete beams, slabs, or other reinforced concrete elements.
A reinforced concrete roof frame is an underlying support framework for a roof built out of reinforced concrete beams, slabs, or other elements constructed from reinforced concrete.
The reinforced concrete forms the roof support. The elements can take different shapes, including beams and slabs.
This material entry does not prescribe where the elements are cast. Precast concrete separately identifies precasting, while this entry identifies the reinforced material.
