Regardless of what you are building – a home, a shop, or a multi-storied office building – you want to plan for the long term. After all, no one constructs for just a few years!
To ensure the longevity of your buildings in Central India, you need to ensure that it is constructed with the right materials and follow the best construction practices and design.
In this article, we will discuss one key material that gives a building its durability and strength – STEEL.
To build a long-lasting building in Central India, you need to protect it from three things –
- Earthquakes
Some parts of Central India are classified under the seismic zone III, and RCC construction here must proactively include earthquake resistant measures. From the point of view of the material, a critical earthquake-resistant item is the TMT sariya or TMT bar used throughout the building.
TMT steel bars are manufactured using a special technology that makes its inner core more flexible than ordinary sariya. This feature helps it weather the sideways motion of earthquakes fairly well and ensures that the building stays standing even during a massive earthquake.
- Corrosion
Another big damage creator for buildings in Central India is corrosion. While this problem is exponentially worse in coastal or tropical regions, the effect of corrosion is equally deadly all across the world. Even little exposure to air or moisture leads to rust formation on steel bars, and there are only two ways to ensure rust doesn’t eat up your building’s insides; one is to make sure that steel is not exposed to the atmosphere and the second is to use steel with rust resistance traits.
TMT bars have intrinsic corrosion-resistant properties, which is due to their manufacturing process (for example, Moira Sariya adds chrome, nickel, and copper, which gives its TMT bars enhanced anti-rust and anti-corrosion properties).
- Structural weakness
The third and most hidden problem is intrinsic structural weakness. Low quality, poorly manufactured materials will lead to a building that might look normal but is weak from the inside.
Using TMT bars, which are proven to have higher tensile strength, ductility, enhanced elongation, is one way to ensure the foundational strength of the whole RCC structure. TMT bars also have a cross ribbed pattern, which gives it better bonding with concrete and adds an extra layer of durability that goes beyond the strength of the materials.
If you are building in Central India, then you have one of the country’s leading TMT bar manufacturers close to hand! Moira Sariya– a TMT bar manufacturer in Indore – has been manufacturing and selling steel products across the country for the last 3 decades. Our TMT bars are made with world-leading CRS technology licensed from HSE Germany, and we supply TMT bars of various grades and thickness.
