Along with the restriction on cross section..when there is a load reversal as in the case of earthquakes there might be tension in the compression zone which will be taken care of by the reinforcement present there.

Full form of R.C.C is Reinfored cement concrete.
Full form of C.C is Cement concrete.

rcc bear the both compressive & tensile load but cc bear only compressive load.
rcc mostly used in heavy construction but cc not used in heavy construction.

aditya

Rcc stands for reinforced cement concrete . here concrete is reinforced with steel whereas normal cement concrete has got no reinforcement in it. rcc is used for mega structures as it can bear tensile forces also whereas normal cement concrete cannot bear tensile forces and take heavy loads
