Russian term or phrase: ж. б.

I need the shortest *real-life* abbreviation available for reinforced concrete and several varieties thereof (e. g. acid resistant, etc.). I remember seeing something close to RC, but cannot verify this quickly. Abbreviations needed to keep fonts large enough for readability and to avoid reformatting several long tables. TIA.
