Back in the day, houses were built with concrete slabs and iron rods across India. The structures made using inappropriate and inexpensive raw materials only last for a short time. The iron rods begin to rust at an early stage affecting the structure’s stability in the long run. It leads to frequent repair of the […]
550D or Fe 550D is a grade of Thermo Mechanically Treated (TMT) steelbars, as defined by IS:1786, with Fe being the symbol for the Iron. Iron is the primary metal that the barsare made up of. ‘550’denotes the minimum yield stress in MPa (the tensile stress required to produce a total elongation) and the letter […]
Thermo Mechanically Treated bars, often referred to as TMT bars, are strong reinforcement bars that have a tough outer core and a soft inner core. The soft inner core in a TMT bar provides superior tensile strength and elongation point to the bars. TMT bars are used in almost every construction project due to their […]
