Shyam Steel Fe 550D 20mm

In any RCC construction, TMT Re-bar and cement are the two most important components. The life span and safety of these type of structures entirely depends on the properties of the Re-bar and Cement. Designers / Engineers should accept TMT Re-bars, only after proper testing and verification of the same irrespective of the name of the manufacturer. Mechanical testing is carried out to produce data, that may be used for design purposes or users acceptance scheme. The most important function may be that of providing design data since it is essential that the limiting values that a structure can withstand without failure are known. An example of this dual role of mechanical testing is the tensile test that may be used either to determine the yield strength of steel for use in design calculations or
to ensure that the steel complies with a material standard specification. Mechanical property data are obtained from a relatively small number of standard tests and these will be covered in this article. The intention of this article is to go beyond the information given in design codes and material standards, and give designers and contractors a greater understanding of Handling and Testing of RReinforced Steel (TMT Re-bar) at Construction site. Storage & Handling:It has been found that storage & handling of Re-bar is a concern at construction sites. Due to lack of proper storage facility we often end up using partially damaged steel. The inside chapters have been duly verified by industry professionals.
