For long term safety from the massive disasters like floods and earthquakes, resilience of construction is important. Choosing right construction material has become paramount with increasing instances of such disasters. That one material that stands out in a disaster-resistant infrastructure is TMT bars. And we at Govvinda manufacture TMT bars with superior strength and enhanced flexibility, that plays an indispensable role in disaster-prone areas.
TMT Bars in Earthquake-Resistant Construction
One of the most severe challenges that bring immense hazards to buildings is the earthquake as they exert unpredictable forces and cause cracks to the structures. TMT rebars have superior ductility that helps them to bend even without the risk of breaking that makes them perfect for earthquake resistant construction. The core flexibility of these bars allows the buildings to sway with intense seismic vibrations rather than shatter and offers a much needed buffer during the time of an earthquake.
Recent earthquakes have underscored the need for using earthquake-resistant TMT bars in construction. For example, in regions like Nepal and Turkey, which have been severely affected by earthquakes, structures built with high-strength TMT bars have demonstrated better resilience compared to traditional materials. This has resulted in reduced casualties and less extensive damage to infrastructure, providing valuable lessons for future construction efforts.
TMT Bars for Flood-Prone Areas
Along with earthquake, flood also plays a notable threat to infrastructure in regions where strong current flows or waterlogging
Floods, too, pose a significant threat to infrastructure, especially in areas where waterlogging and strong currents can weaken foundations. The corrosion resistance of TMT bars is a key factor in flood-prone regions. TMT bars are treated to resist rust, even when exposed to moisture for extended periods, which is a common challenge in flood-affected areas.
In recent flooding events, such as those in Kerala and Pakistan, buildings constructed with TMT rebars showed greater durability in the face of rising waters. The rust-proof nature of these bars ensured that the structural integrity of these buildings remained intact despite the long-term exposure to water. This has made TMT rebars the go-to choice for rebuilding efforts in flood-prone areas, as they provide a safeguard against future water damage.
Advantages of Rebuilding with TMT Bars
1. Strength and Flexibility: TMT bars are the perfect blend of flexibility and tensile strength that ensures your buildings can resist forces exerted by floods or earthquakes.
2. Corrosion Resistance: The anti-rust coatings of TMT bars makes them perfect for moisture-heavy circumstances offering unmatched resistance to corrosion in the flood-prone regions.
3. Cost-Effective: Our Govvinda TMT bars provide longer durability that minimizes the need for multiple frequent repairs making them a cost effective material for your dream home.
4. Safety: High thermal resistance of TMT bars protect buildings from fire which is an added advantage when dealing with disasters such as earthquakes that have the risk of triggering gas leaks and fire.
Conclusion
With the rising frequency of natural disasters, building resilient infrastructure has become a necessity. Incorporating high quality TMT bars into construction we ensure that all your rebuilt areas are safer and equipped to handle any upcoming calamities.
