Careful During Buy Steel Reinforcement

I always observed how people decided to buy steel rebars and found two types.

  1. Select on constructor guide blindly
  2. Follow your relative or neighborhood blindly

Selecting construction site materials blindly may be a huge mistake.

In this suggestion are they really explaining the technical points? or they say this is in trend nowadays and you can buy it.

Points Keep in mind

There are common points that should be checked during selecting a reinforcement bar for a house.

  • Steel Brand
  • Cost of Reinforcement
  • Type of Steel bar
  • Test of Reinforcement bar
  • Quality of Reber

Steel Bar should be of good quality second thing is about the price list of steel rebars, some have costly and some are reasonably cheap so what type of steel rebar do you decide to buy for house construction? do you give priority to the price?

I am sure you will not think much about the price if you are aware of the technical points (quality parameters).

Common Mistake in choose best steel for house construction

But if you have no idea about the technical parameters means the steel grade and ribs pattern of the steel rebar then it will be challenging to decide and most probably you will focus on the price list comparison between the brands so just for little difference amount of money one buy the lower quality steel rebar from my general observation.

I have observed that maximum people are not aware that which grade and quality rebar one has to purchase and what type of construction. is this just only for one floor, 2 or 3 floors or is it a big bungalow or is it a big building of multi floors or like a bridge for a different type of construction and different grade of steel rebar we use for the local house constructions like 1 to 4 floors or bungalows so here it is important to understand that which steel rebar is suggested? through a simple example

Technical Information Check before buying Steel Bar

Type of Steel | which steel is best for house construction

I explain it as Fe 500 D or Fe 500SD where D means ductile and SD means super ductile.

  • D means ductile
  • SD means super ductile

Nowadays FE 415 is outdated and not in use another hand 500 is ok for normal house construction in the earthquake-prone zone one has to use SD for normal and plane areas 500D is good 

Before you buy the steel rebar check the grade is D or SD

SD (Super Ductile Steel) for hills and earthquake-prone zones before the brand checks the grade on steel rebar is 500 and next it is D or SD

In Himachal and Uttrakhand, one have to use SD earlier steel rebar was manufactured with different process lack of ribs pattern

TMT bar (Thermo Mechanically Treated Steel) is a technology by which steel rebar processing completes By this process a strong layer is created on the steel rebar that enhances the strength of the steel rebar.

The second point about the grip with concrete and other steel rebars actually depends on the ribs pattern flats surface grip will be weaker compared to the specially designed ribs

SRMB Steel used wingtip technology for the ribs pattern this grip enhances the bonding for example in a specific condition of an earthquake when the structure bends with a small angle in that bending if this concrete leaves the net of iron steel rebar this situation when concrete leaves the steel rebar due to weak bonding then what will happen there you can imagine the damage but if concrete can be gripped strongly with the steel rebar then at the time of earthquake both will move together and this structure will not damage so a strong bonding between steel rebar and concrete is must along with the strength of steel rebar
