Use of TMT steel bars prevents structural modification possibilities.       

Buildings or structures which feature TMT Steel Rebars for reinforcement are very easy to modify or expand. The high bendability, workability and weldability of TMT steel makes it suitable for easy design alterations.        

TMT Steel Bars Myth 3:                   

There is a risk or corrosion to TMT Steel Bars.  

Owing to the exceptional corrosion and rust prevention of TMT steel rods, that are recommended to be used in costal and humid areas. These steel bars have been known to perform better against floods and in monsoons.     

TMT Steel Bars Myth 4:                  

The TMT rebars aren’t safe against fire impacts.   

Thermo-Mechanical Treated Steel Bars are fire resistant and safe for operation in temperatures which exceed 500 degrees.       

TMT Steel Bars Myth 5:                 

TMT Steel Rods are very heavy.  

TMT steel rods have a very high strength-to-weight ratio and thus deliver exceptional durability even being very lightweight in design.  

TMT Steel Bars Myth 6:                

TMT bars are limited in their utility scopes.  

Available in a wide range of grades such as 550D Grade TMT Bars in Faridabad, TMT steel rods suffice a diverse array of construction application scopes.        

TMT Steel Bars Myth 7:              

TMT bars limit structural design scopes.     

With use of TMT steel reinforcement in concrete, you can achieve endless design possibilities.       

TMT Steel Bars Myth 8:                   

Use of TMT rods harms the environment.             

Reducing consumption of steel material, mitigation of wastage, being carbon negative to develop and use as well as with net zero emissions, TMT steel rebars are sustainable and eco-friendly solutions.      

TMT Steel Bars Myth 9:              

The ribs and lugs in TMT bars serve no purpose.      

Intrinsic to design of the TMT Steel Bars, the ribs ad lug patterns are for anchoring and better binding with concrete. The ribs also give better seismic resistance to structures.                 

TMT Steel Bars Myth 10:             

TMT Steel Bars cannot resist natural disasters.    

With use of Steel TMT Bars, structures can be safe against fire, floods, earthquakes, wind loads and other impacts

Significance and role of TMT bars in construction of durable columns for structures

The vast extent of modern infrastructure solutions relies on a number of materials which pose as the core enablers of the overall structure’s strength, safety, resistance, quality and performance features. Despite the rising popularity of alternative prefabricated building development methods, the imperative nature of concrete construction makes it an undeniable and a dominant force in the current as well as forecasted infrastructure development scenarios.         

Cement Concrete, a mixture of cement, air, water, sand, and gravel is a vital composition which has been the trademark choice of material when it comes to developing some of the most remarkable and momentous infrastructure development projects across the globe. Vital to form the core composition in all types of buildings, cement concrete while being high in its compression strength lacks the requisite tensile strength as wells shear strength to be able to resist lateral or irregular forces. Thus, the reinforcement members in the form of Best TMT Steel Rebars in Roorkee are essential to allow for development of Reinforced Cement Concrete - RRC which possesses an unparalleled balance of compressive as well as tensile strength.         

What are Columns and what role do they play in a building structure?        

Every building structure features an essential component called as a column in its construction and design. Posing as a vertical compression and load bearing member, a column bears the load of an entire structure and its occupants in order to channel and dissipate the loads to the ground or earth. This helps a structure to be able to stand tall without any risk of bending or cracking.      

A column features reinforcement of cement concrete or RCC construction in its design in order to be able to resist bending forces, seismic forces, transverse shear forces as well as compressive loads. A typical building structure faces the following types of loads or forces throughout its lifespan -         

-         Live loads - All forms of moving loads of a building including the occupants, furniture and equipment load.    

-         Dead loads - A constant load of the column, beam and other structural components acting on the column.  

-         Earthquake load - The forces acting on a column due to the seismic action.  

-         Wind loads - The loads occurring due to the action of wind force on a building structure.     

These types of loads in buildings and structures can be classified as vertical, horizontal or longitudinal loads. All the varying types of loads can cause stress, displacement, deformation, fracture in a structure which compromises its structural integrity and risks critical failure. For any structure to successfully resist all loads, construction of columns which bear a majority of these loads is imperative and for developing the strongest possible columns, reinforcement of the cement concrete for their construction with use of Best TMT Saria in Roorkee developed by 7 STAR Shri Rathi Group is imperative.          

Durable columns and strong cement concrete reinforcement bars such as the Best TMT Steel Rebars in Roorkee are synonymous with safe, stable, durable and robust buildings. Developing a structure with strong columns reinforced with high-grade TMT steel bars can help it stand the test of time and be capable of resisting all kinds of forces and loads.
