Advantages and disadvantages of using RC frames

ADVANTAGES

  • High Strength and Durability: Ideal for long-lasting, resilient structures.

  • Fire and Weather Resistance: Superior resistance to fire and adverse weather conditions.

  • Versatility in Design: Flexible design options to accommodate various architectural styles.

  • Cost-Effective for Large Structures: Economical for extensive projects due to material availability and longevity.

  • Reduced Maintenance Costs: Low maintenance requirements, saving time and resources in the long run.

DISADVANTAGES

  • Longer Construction Time: Typically, it takes more time to construct compared to steel frames.

  • Higher Initial Costs: Initial setup and material costs can be higher.

  • Heavier Weight: The weight of RC frames needs to be carefully considered during foundation design and overall building weight distribution.

Our formwork and falsework expertise

Formwork and falsework are crucial components in RC frame construction. Formwork serves as the temporary mold for concrete, shaping it into the desired structure. Falsework provides temporary support until the concrete achieves adequate strength. 

At MJ Rooney, we use cutting-edge formwork and falsework systems to ensure precision and efficiency, minimising waste and maximizing structural integrity.
