Urbanisation in Kolkata and the entire eastern Indian region has drastically changed skylines, with the largest commercial units like The 42 blended into architectural marvels manifesting strength and durability. Kolkata’s construction sector promises sturdy high-rise complexes and integrated industrial units. However, risks of natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, and cyclones continue to prevail.
Similar resilience within construction materials is needed to support the city’s architectural stability. Here’s when the practical usage of TMT Bars comes into discussion. Like human anatomy, concrete serves as the muscles of your architecture, while TMT Bars serve as the skeleton.
Thermomechanically Treated (TMT) Bars lend superior length to structures, with their high corrosion and shock resistance capabilities. By strategically using TMT Bars, your high-rise apartments and commercial units can gain maximum strength against disasters.
We at Maan Shakti offer you the highest quality TMT Bars suitable for multi-structural purposes. Continue reading this blog to analyse how the Best TMT Bar Grades can increase the maximum structural integrity of your homes.
Specialty of Thermo-Mechanical Treatment
The seismic resistance feature of TMT Bars comes from the incorporation of the Thermomechanical manufacturing process. TMT Bars are first heated to high temperatures and then quickly cooled to give the inner cores a soft, tensile and resilient nature. This enables the TMT Bars to become more resistant to seismic stresses with increased strength and ductility.
Our earthquake-resistant TMT Bars are indispensable construction components. We ensure that each bar undergoes a rigorous heating and cooling process at perfect intervals and delivers maximum strength upon usage.
The specialty of our TMT Bars indicates a series of monitoring that we conduct before and after the manufacturing process. Our experts include several quality control measures to check dimensions, chemical compositions, mechanical properties and surface characteristics. We undertake necessary steps to improve the quality of TMT Bars in case of incorrect weight, surface texture and grading.
Different TMT Bar Grades We Offer
Fe 415
The ductility of TMT Bars varies between different grades. Our Fe 415 grade TMT Bars offer higher flexibility for use across intricate architectural designs. However, Fe 415 TMT Bars have low strength compared to their flexibility. Hence, they might not be effective in withstanding pressure created by seismic pressure.
Fe 500
Fe 500 TMT Bars serve as reinforcement for regular steel bars in construction. Our corrosion-resistant TMT Bars are in high demand for commercial, residential, and multi-storeyed projects. Their combined tensile and ductile nature allows our Fe 500 TMT Bars to hold structural pressure in facades, beams, and frames.
These TMT Bars will help dissipate seismic shocks throughout your building during earthquakes. The pressure from the dissipated shock will prevent cracks and untimely collapse.
Fe 550D
Our Fe 550D TMT Bars are the ideal choice for construction across seismic zones. These grades offer high strength and can be flexibly used for small, medium, and large-scale industrial projects.
Cross-ribbed textures on the surface of our Fe 550D TMT Bars increase their bonding ability with concrete. This higher gripping ability allows Fe 550D TMT Bars to prevent cracks due to seismic shocks and maintain structural balance.
Fe 600
Fe 600 TMT Bars are rarely used in urban infrastructure due to their low elasticity. Although they possess the highest strength, lack of adequate ductility reduces flexible application. However, high strength holding capability enables Fe 600 TMT Bars to support large-scale commercial and industrial sites.
These earthquake-resistant TMT Bars can behold the strength of your beams and dissipate seismic shocks across your facades without hampering structures.
Among the four graded TMT bars, we suggest you buy Fe 550D Graded Bars to be used in treating seismic shocks.
Benefits of Using our Earthquake Resistant Fe 550D Graded TMT Bars
Enhanced Safety
Our Fe 550D TMT Bars enhance the safety of your building’s internal structures. We apply zinc and epoxy coatings to the Fe 550D TMT Bars to increase the steel rods’ corrosion resistance. As the bars withstand rusting, there are fewer chances of structural damage due to dampness in Kolkata’s humid weather.
Reduced Maintenance Costs
As Fe 550D TMT Bars prevent rusting, your maintenance costs can be drastically reduced. The ability of TMT Bars to withstand lateral pressures during earthquakes prevents unnecessary cracks in the concrete. When your frequent replacement needs decrease, the economic sustainability of maintaining your building comparatively reduces.
Improved Weldability
Our corrosion-resistant TMT Bars are known for their excellent elongation properties. During earthquakes, inelastic strains are effectively handled. The presence of a high elongation index increases the weldability of TMT Bars. As a result, you can include them within intricate architectural designs alongside the main poles and beams holding your structure.
Improved weldability helps prevent sudden bending or snapping of TMT bars even during high seismic pressure. Moreover, Fe 550D TMT Bars possess cross-ribbed surface textures to provide high gripping ability with concrete.
Not only will cracks on your walls be prevented, but the central balance will remain unhindered.
In Conclusion
Maan Shakti is one of the leading TMT Bar manufacturers in Kolkata. The best quality TMT Bars can save your home, school, factories and bridges from collapsing during earthquakes. You can easily incorporate our Fe 550D TMT Bars into different architectural designs and infrastructural types.
The high strength and flexibility offered by these TMT Bars can improve internal structural balance by resisting high seismic shocks. Only with Maan Shakti TMT bars can you create safer homes for your future generations.
