What does 'c/c' mean in construction?

Im studying construction technology and have been reading from a book that describes some things as c/c. For example:





100 by 50 ceiling joists at 400 c/c





help much appreciated thanks

What does 'c/c' mean in construction?
it means the measurment from the center of one joist to center of the adjacent joist(s), assumed to be evenly spaced across the space. Also called O.C. sometimes, or On Center. In the US, you might see that as 16" O.C.
Reply:center to center
